Get the Look: Marley Shelton at the Untitled Premier

Actress (and new mom!) Marley Shelton shined in mark cosmetics at the premier of Untitled in Los Angeles last weekend. Celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh gave us the scoop on how she created Marley’s smoky-eyed look:

Eyes

“Marley was wearing a deep navy dress by Tibi, so I wanted to give her a complimentary sexy, smoky eye to go with it. I swept on I-mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Night Owl layered with Corset from the lash line to the crease. I then blended the shadows upwards towards her brows. For a little extra drama, I lined the inner rim of her eyes with mark Eyemarker Color On Line in Jet and then smudged I-mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Corset and Night Owl along the lower lash line. Finally, I used two coats of mark Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara in Black.”

Face

“I used mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Golden to even out her skin tone, dabbing mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium around her nose and under her eyes. I set her foundation with mark Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation in Honey and then dusted mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Golden to her cheeks, chin and forehead to bring out her natural glow.”

Lips

“Because I wanted to keep the emphasis on Marley’s dark, smoked out eyes, I kept her lips a more subtle shade by using mark Dew Drenched Moisturlicious Lip Color in Skinny Dip.”

Dior Nail Polish in Silver Purple

Um, seriously? Could this polish be ANY more gorgeous? This could possibly be my new favorite nail color. (I say possibly because I haven’t tried it yet, but this is definitely on my shopping list for this weekend.)

Silver Purple literally sparkles with rich, cool sophistication that could storm the holiday season and leave everything else in its tracks. Too beautiful for words!

Dior Vernis Nail Enamel in Silver Purple is available from Nordstrom for $20.

Daily Style: FitFlop Mukluk

Last year Elle beauty director Emily Dougherty told me how much she loved her FitFlop Billows, a shoe that’s designed to help improve posture and increase muscle activity in your butt and legs.

Now the popular “workout while you walk” brand has come out with a fun mukluk-style boot!

The design of the Microwobbleboard (the whole technology behind the FitFlop) has a two inch platform that’s ideal for short girls like me. Not to mention, they look so cozy and functional for cold winter weather!

The FitFlop Mukluk Boot can be worn as a cuff (shown above) or with the shearling upper unfolded (below).

I also love the NEW Ultra Lounge slipper to wear around the house!

FitFlop Mukluk Boots can be purchased at Macys.com and Amazon.com for $139.
