Get the Look: Olivia Palermo at the 2009 VMA"s
The Video Music Awards (VMA's) is another occasion for beautiful in Hollywood to show off their best and freshest looks. Sometimes the fashions and makeup worn at Hollywood events make you want to run away screaming, while other times they make you strive to get the look for yourself. This year, Olivia Palermo had the look and here is how she got it.
Makeup artist Dyana Aives was responsible for Olivia's fabulous look for the VMA's.
Olivia is a fan of KohGenDo Cosmetics and Dyana stated that Olivia "raved about how beautiful her skin looked and how natural and bright her complexion appeared with the KohGenDo products." Here are the products that Dyana used on Olivia, so you can easily duplicate her fresh and beautiful look for yourself.
Olivia's Lips and Cheeks
•Lipstick in Nude Beige BE04 - Dyana used a nude and natural lipstick shade on Olivia, which gave her a nice hint of color while allowing you to focus more on her beautiful skin.
•Fresh Face Cheek Color in Caramel Bronze - Dyana stayed in step with the natural hues for Olivia and used a beautiful neutral blush that helped to contour Olivia's lovely cheeks while adding just the right amount of color. The overall finish enhanced Olivia's cheeks perfectly while looking natural and not too made-up.
Olivia's Face
•Yellow Makeup Color Base - This is a perfect high definition base that can be used to help diffuse redness while brightening the skin. Dyana used the yellow makeup base under Olivia's foundation, giving her a completely even skin tone while making her already beautiful skin appear bright and youthful.
•Maifanshi Moisture Concealer - One of my personally favorite concealers, the Maifanshi Moisture Concealer gives you two perfect shades to use alone or mix together. Dyana used this concealer to give Olivia an all around polished look, leaving her skin looking flawless yet dewy and natural at the same time.
•Aqua Foundation in OC-2 - KohGenDo Aqua Foundation is the perfect "accessory" for any red carpet occasion, leaving our skin looking smooth and flawless, yet moisturized and naturally stunning at the same time. Dyana used the shade OC-2 on Olivia for the VMA's, mixed with a slight dab of Moisture Foundation in PK23 to give Olivia's skin the perfect color match. The end result is simply radiant and flawless skin, allowing Olivia to relax and not worry if her makeup would last under the harsh lighting and flashes of the cameras.
•Maifanshi Natural Lighting Powder - KohGenDo's Mainfanshi Natural Lighting Powder is like the icing on the cake. Dyana used this on Olivia to finish her red carpet look, while the ultra-fine pearl powder helped to diffuse lighting making Olivia's skin look radiant and stunning in every type of lighting thrown at her.
