Ms. Julia Roberts was in town earlier this week to accept a Glamour Magazine Women of the Year award. This event is held every year and it's always an incredible gathering of powerful, accomplished and of course glamorous women. You won't be able to watch the video above without getting goosebumps. (And if I can be shallow for a second, how FABULOUS does Diane Sawyer look? Whatever she is doing--or not doing--I want to do the same.)
Julia was honored for her work on behalf of children and the environment. (Guess who presented her award? Um, Oprah.) Julia's longtime makeup artist Genevieve Herr did the makeup and we were thrilled when we heard Genevieve would be using some of the L'Wren Scott holiday makeup. Julia was wearing a L'Wren dress, so it was L'Wren from head to, well, knee.
Genevieve is a great makeup artist. I spent some time with her last month in L.A. when we shot some new Julia ads and she shared so many great makeup tips. She loves Lancome and had lots of tips involving Teint Miracle, our lip liners, Juicy Tubes, even Oscillation mascara. (She loves the brush and the formula, but she uses it WITHOUT the vibration!) There's a great story on Genevieve in the beauty section of December's American Elle, so be sure to check that out.
Patricia put together a little makeup recap on Julia's look, so here it is:
Julia’s subtly smoky eyes were done up with Ombre Absolue Quad in Les Gris L’Wren from the L’Wren Scott collection. Genevieve used two of the shades; the sheer gray was swept onto the outer lid, the crease and outward and the black was used as liner. Topping the look was Hypnôse Drama in Le Noir L’Wren, a shimmering mascara that Genevieve says added “a lot of glamour.”
For the lips, Genevieve used L’Absolu Rouge Crème de Brillance in Le Rouge L’Wren. This intense berry gloss provided the perfect contrast for Julia’s dark dress and eyes, says Genevieve. Lancôme’s Teint Miracle Lit-from-Within Foundation delivered flawless skin, while Blush Subtil Powder Blush in Rose Romantique added that finishing touch of color.
