This year - for the first time - I was able to catch the beginning of The Heart Truth Show over at the CBS website. Unfortunately, shortly after Eve came down the runway, I had to make a quick run to the PX. I ended up missing the rest of the show but I was able to catch some footage over at YouTube. In addition to Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Dashing Diva was also used backstage at the show by celebrity nail technician Patricia "Pattie" Yankee along with the Dashing Diva nail team.
According to celebrity makeup artist Matthew VanLeeuwen, Dania’s makeup was inspired by her dress. "She called me earlier that day to tell me how in love she was [with her dress] and thought that she wanted a red lip. I totally agreed with [her] once I saw her outfit. Her beauty look was classic with a twist. We stuck with a fairly clean, pale lid and sculpted brows, but I also wanted to add a little gold to the eyes in honor of COVERGIRL’s 50th Anniversary."
CoverGirl was another beauty brand who celebrated their anniversary recently - their 50th to be exact. To commemorate this special event, they hosted a red carpet bash in LA last night at the People's Choice Awards. To prove that every woman is a CoverGirl, all five spokeswomen - Queen Latifah, Ellen DeGeneres, Drew Barrymore, Dania Ramirez and Taylor Swift - came out to help celebrate. You can join the celebration too by checking out the CoverGirl Facebook fan page and sharing what makes you a CoverGirl to win some fantastic prizes.

Celebrity makeup artist Matthew van Leeuwen created Dania's People Choice Awards look. In addition to CoverGirl (of course), he also used Cle de Peau, Bobbi Brown, Make Up For Ever, Shiseido, and MAC Cosmetics. Her look actually reminds me of the look he created for Salma Hayek at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards.
face. "After moisturizing with Cle de Peau Beaute Gentle Nourishing Emulsion (Emulsion Tendre), I applied a few dots of CoverGirl Clean Liquid Makeup in Tawny and blended it all over the face. Then I took Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Golden (#6) and used it as concealer and as a base on the entire eye area to lighten before applying shadow. Make sure to set the entire eye area with powder before you apply dry eyeshadow to avoid streaking."
eyes. "I then took CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast Shadow Stick in Silver Sky and filled the eyelid with it. I then defined the crease with MAKE UP FOR EVER Eyeshadow in Deep Plum Shimmer Iridescent 79. I lined the eye with CoverGirl Perfect Blend Eye Pencil in Basic Black and smudged over it with a deep black eyeshadow for blending. I applied Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Provence to the inner half of the eyelids being careful not to overlap the eyeliner. I finished the eye with 2 coats of CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara in Very Black."
cheeks. "Then I applied CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach all over the cheek and powdered the face. To make the pillows of the cheeks pop I applied a bit of Bobbi Brown Blush in Apricot."
lips. "Finally, I lined the mouth with MAC Lip Pencil Lip Liner in Plum and filled with CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain Lip Color in Plum Pout. Dot a bit of clear gloss on the mouth and she's red carpet ready!"
