Celebrity Makeup Artist Amy Oresman created Neutrogena brand ambassador Hayden Panettiere’s look for the 2009 Emmy awards earlier this week, where Hayden presented the award for Best Reality Host, and shares how you can achieve this glam look at home.

Amy’s Inspiration:

“Hayden sought a classic red lip to match her gorgeous J Mendel gown, so I looked to her Italian heritage, and her recent vacation in Italy, for inspiration and designed a look you’d find on glamorous women in Rome.”

Skin Prep:

“I believe in the old adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” so careful attention was paid to Hayden’s skincare prior to the Emmy’s. Hayden’s choice is skin iD, personalized acne system from Neutrogena Dermatologics. ”

Eyes:

“To give Hayden’s lashes maximum impact I used three coats of the NEUTROGENA® Healthy Volume™ Mascara in Carbon Black.”

Lips:

“I prepped Hayden’s lips with NEUTROGENA® MoistureShine® Lip Soother in Sparkle. It hydrated and protected her lips — a critical first step to ensure the bold color of Hayden’s luscious red lips would have staying power. For a beautiful red I chose NEUTROGENA® MoistureShine® Lip Stick in Cherry Twist.”

Cleansing and Makeup Removal:

“After all the after parties I recommend a gentle, yet effective cleanser that will banish all traces of dirt and makeup. Hayden love the NEUTROGENA® Deep Clean Cream Cleanser, a cleanser and makeup remover all in one.”

There’s big news here at Teen Corner this week:

I GOT MY PERMIT… I am a student driver! Yay!

(If you’ve yet to get your permit, and would like a little tip from little ol’ Bree, let me just say this: Read The Manual . This is not a test you can pass with common sense alone—because, those people at the DMV? They are tricky folks. They try to throw you off with their big words and complicated questions that could easily be answered if they just asked them in an un-tricky way. Geeesh.) (Also—if for some reason you don’t pass the test on the first try, don’t worry, there’s always tomorrow.) (Just saying.)

Now that I’m a driver , my freaky mother is going nuts about the sunscreen thing. Since my face will no longer be under the protection of the tinted back windows, she says I need to make a habit of applying sunscreen daily. Personally, I think the woman is crazy, but after rummaging through a pile of her beauty products, I found this:

NARS Makeup Primer SPF 20

This primer is so lightweight, it sort of melts into my skin and disappears. And my foundation looks even better than it did before. (Which I didn’t think was possible.) The only problem I’m having is remembering to put it on… I might have to put a sticky-note on the bathroom mirror as a reminder! (Also, this is no substitute for the real sunscreen deal, but for someone like me, it’s a step in the right direction.)

Along with the primer, there’s a few other things I want to tell you about to help create flawless skin:

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Foaming Cleanser

This foaming cleanser contains salicylic acid and is really gentle. My sister’s skin is sensitive, yet she gets frequent breakouts on her forehead (if she would just listen to me and pin her bangs back during volleyball practice, she might not have a problem. But I’m just her older sister—what do I know?). When used daily, this cleanser helps to fight pimple-causing bacteria.

ThermaClear Heat Enabled Acne Treatment

This handy little device is the hit of our neighborhood. All of our friends come over to borrow our ThermaClear (even the boys—no joke!). (Before you gross out, please know that we thoroughly clean it with rubbing alcohol between uses. Thoroughly .)

Here’s how it works: Acne is formed when excess oil and skin cells clog a pore, allowing bacteria to be trapped and become inflamed. ThermaClear spot treats acne with a burst of thermal energy that penetrates the skin, much like a laser treatment at the dermatologist’s office, and neutralizes the underlying bacteria allowing skin to heal faster.

It doesn’t hurt at all, just feels a little warm, and it really works!

Don’t forget to work on your Halloween costumes—there’s only 10 days left (Bailey and I are going as Fook Me & Fook You from Austin Powers!).

Hope you have a great week.

xo,

Bree

Teen Corner comes to you a day early this week, because—drumroll please—I’M GOING FISHING!

I’m not kidding. It’s the coldest day of the season so far, and my best friend Andrea and I are going to be out on the river with my Dad. It’s going to be just the three of us (a little father-daughter bonding thing, I guess) with no MySpace, no cell service, and possibly no Creme de la Mer (I’m trying to convince my mom to let me bring along her jar) for an entire weekend.

Before you go and peg me a spoiled brat for the whole Creme de la Mer thing, let me just say—it’s not mine, and I don’t use it every day. But the stuff works. Especially when it’s cold and windy and my normally good skin gets all chapped and dry. Gross.

Andrea and I consulted on the phone last night and came up with a little list of beauty essentials for our trip:

• Boots No 7 Quick Thinking 4-in-1 Wipes —I know I always talk about these, but they really are an essential part of my beauty routine. Fishing trip or not, these are coming along.
• Clinique Acne Solutions Emergency Gel-Lotion —because I’m not taking any chances. If there happens to be cute boys on the river (please God, let there be cute boys on the river) they will be charmed by my smashing personality and exquisite fly-casting ability—not blinded by a huge zit on my face.
• Nivea Original Moisture Body Lotion —there are probably two dozen different body lotions here at my house that do an equally great job, but I just love the way this one smells. (This reminds me of the time a guy-friend came to our house for the first time and was like, "what’s with all the lotion?" I hadn’t noticed before, but as I took a look around the kitchen and living room, there were no less than 8 full-sized bottles of lotion sitting in plain sight. Our family might be crazy, but we all have soft skin. Ha!)
• Vaseline Intensive Rescue Heal & Repair Balm —I’m actually packing this product for my dad, whose legs get dry and scaly after standing in the cold river in neoprene waders for hours on end. It’s so thick and creamy and relieves dryness and discomfort in seconds. (This will also be my backup in case my mom won’t let me bring the Creme de la Mer—I’ll use it to protect my face from windburn.)
• Neutrogena Healthy Defense Oil-Free Sunblock Stick SPF30 —because I’m not allowed to step outside without sun protection, and this one is just easy.
• Chapstick —a good ‘ol standby that never lets me down.

I’m not bringing any makeup—the fish (and cute boys) will have to appreciate my natural beauty (ha)—but, seriously, I’m looking forward to my weekend outdoors. Andrea and I are psyched!

Hope your weekend is as fun as mine is going to be.

xo,

Bree
