Gracing the cover of Maxim’s January 2009 Young Hot Hollywood Special Edition issue, actress/singer Hilary Duff is looking *ferosh*! So here is me doing a FOTD that is inspired by her look.
What I Used
* Chanel Pro Lumiere Professional Finish Makeup in 10 Limpide
* Anastasia Highlighting Brow Kit to fill in eyebrows
* MAC Gingersoft eyeshadow on center of the eyelid and under the brow bone
* MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow on crease and outer corner
* Benefit Bad Gal Liquid Liner in Black along upper lash line
* Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in Black on lower water line
* MAC Violet Pigment on lower lash line
* Ipum False Eyelashes on top
* Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara in Extreme Black on bottom lashes
* MAC Shooting Star MSF to contour cheekbones lightly
* MAC New Vegas MSF to highlight the bridge of nose
* MAC Marquise D’ Lipstick

Looks amazing!!
01/11/2009 at 11:11 pm
beautiful as ever, Phyllis! i was wondering if youre wearing a circle lens contact, and if so, which one? the color looks natural but standout-ish!
01/12/2009 at 1:41 am
I love this look! It’s so much nicer on you than Miss Duff with your dark hair ; ) I never thought about pairing bright purple with nude. I will definitely have to try it.
01/12/2009 at 4:03 am
Make up alone does not achieve this look. Miss Duff went under the knife, got botox injection on lips, etc.
01/12/2009 at 4:11 am
gorgeous as always,
can you update your new skin regime? They’re so clear
01/12/2009 at 11:03 am
Great look!
Satin Taupe looks way nicer on you than on me… I looked I got punched in the eye when I wear it 
What contacts are you wearing? They look really nice
01/12/2009 at 11:26 am
Thanks ladies =)
I’m wearing Geo Tri-Color contacts in Brown. They are just like Freshlook’s Colorblends and not circle lenses.

Karen,
Are you back in the US yet?
01/12/2009 at 11:38 am
such a pretty look… i will def try this, this comin weekend -=)
01/12/2009 at 11:55 am
Hi Phyllis,
can you tell us the makeup tools and brushes that you used to achieve the look? Is it better to apply foundation with a brush or sponge or by fingers? Do we need different brushes to apply eyeshadows? Thanks.
01/12/2009 at 12:02 pm
thank you for creating this look. love it!
01/12/2009 at 2:28 pm
Yes I am… just got back last night and incredibly jet lagged right now… lol
01/12/2009 at 5:51 pm
This look is gorgeous! What brush did you use to apply the purple pigment?
01/13/2009 at 12:28 am

01/13/2009 at 12:59 am

01/13/2009 at 3:16 am
wow!! love this look!! you look so amazing in all your FOTDs.
btw, chanel pro lumiere #10 limpide? weren’t you a MAC NC30 before?
your skin must have lightened during the colder season.

Lovely,
When it comes to eyeshadow application, unless you are just doing a wash, I highly recommend using a brush. Not only does it help to blend everything evenly, it gives you more precision.
For this FOTD, I used:
* MAC #239 Eye Shading Brush to apply the Gingersoft eyeshadow
* MAC #219 Pencil Brush to apply the Satin Taupe eyeshadow onto the crease and blended it with MAC #217 Blending Brush
* Small eyeshadow brush by Sonia Kashuk to apply the Violet pigment under the eye
You can check out the following entries on reviews of some of my eye makeup brushes:

As for foundation and concealer, I use both a brush and my fingers. Please refer to this entry for more details:

Bec,
Yes I use #10 Limpide for the Pro Lumiere. I’m normally a #20 Clair for Chanel foundations but the Pro Lumiere runs slightly darker.
01/13/2009 at 11:47 am
Thank you so much Phyllis! You answered exactly what I wanted to know
01/14/2009 at 9:19 pm
wow, this is so gorgeous!!!
01/22/2009 at 7:42 pm
u look stunning. i am trying this look tomorrow night
do you think i should wet the purple eyeshadow before applying it?
01/23/2009 at 11:14 am
Yes Tina, you should definitely apply the pigment wet so the color stays vibrant.
01/27/2009 at 5:46 pm
yeah…gosh…you might as well be on the mag yourself XDDDD…i think the purple looks better on you…
01/30/2009 at 4:37 pm
Thanks again. You guys are too kind =)
