Get the Look - Entourage's Emmanuelle Chriqui
Thursday, August 26, 2010
And ladies today is your lucky day! Emmanuelle's gorgeous glow is courtesy her makeup artist Spencer Barnes, and below, he gives us the step-by-step scoop on achieving her natural 'lit from within' look from the photo shoot!
- Foundation – Spencer loves Armani Luminous Silk foundation for its weightless, sheer coverage. If you’ve got olive skin like Emmanuelle, try shades 4.5 and 6 mixed together. (nordstrom.com)
- Eyes – To highlight her dark eyes and brows, Spencer used a quad of DermaMinerals Pressed Treatment Minerals eye shadows:
- Stratum, an off-white shimmer shadow under the arch of the brow and on the inner corner of the eye to brighten and open the area.
- Ion, a matte pink beige in the crease of the eyelid to lighten up and even out the eyelid.
- Element, an iridescent taupe shade on the outer part of the lid to add depth and sheen.
- Alloy, a matte smoky grey is a great liner. Apply with a flat liner brush and smolder into the lash line and extend out slightly beyond the corner of the eye. You can also use Alloy on top of traditional eyeliner for a darker, smoky eye look. (dermaminerals.com)
- Lashes – Emmanuelle has dark, long lashes and Spencer wanted to make sure he accentuated every single one! Lancôme's vibrating Oscillation mascara grabs and coats every lash for a dramatic effect. (sephora.com)
- Cheeks – Applied with a soft, angled brush, DermaMinerals Pressed Treatment Minerals blush in Amino, a muted peachy pink added the perfect hint of color to Emmanuelle’s cheeks. (dermaminerals.com)
- Lips – Spencer wanted Emmanuelle to have a natural ‘girl next door’ look, so he used MAC lipstick in Smash Hit, a bronzy nude shade. (maccosmetics.com)
- Finishing Touches – A dusting of NARS Casino bronzer on the forehead, nose and jaw line added light reflection and a hint of tan. Spencer then set the look with Korres Wild Rose Powder, a brightening compact powder. Those with Emmanuelle’s skin tone should try WRP2. (sephora.com)

A "Truly" Amazing Experience at True Skin Care Center
Monday, August 9, 2010
In need of a little pampering? Well Chicagoland (and visitors from near and far), I've got the place for you!
True Skin Care Center, perched atop the 9th floor of The Water Tower Place on Michigan Avenue, just might become your new "hot-spot" when craving a little spoiling. The extensive list of treatments serve up something for everyone with any need, and probably needs you didn't even know you had. The location is actually a 2-for-1 as the center is actually a part of Dr. Steven Dayan's Advanced Facial and Plastic Surgery Center.
The atmosphere is undeniably spa-like, yet unpretentious, with cush seating and beds, lighting that calms not blinds, and little touches of whimsy, like welcoming Starburst candies in paper cupcake cups.
My session, with esthetician-extraordinaire Terri Wojak (her actual title is Esthetics Director/Educator, and although my description might not be as professional sounding, it is accurate), began with the "traditional" getting-to-know-you-questions - my skin-care regimen and concerns. My experience however was far from the "traditional" facials I've had in the past. The types that are "ok" but impersonal...where the estheticians applied what they said they were going to, but left me wondering if I really got anything out of it.
My treatment started with Dermaplaning, something I'd heard of but never had done. This manual exfoliation treatment is actually done with a scalpel and gently removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). I can't quite put into words the exact feeling, but somehow when the scraping ceded, without a single touch I could actually sense my skin was the softest it had probably ever been....and my constant touching afterwords proved that sense accurate. I couldn't take my hands off me!
A brand new treatment was next on my line-up card, a Stemcell Glycolic Peel, and as Wojak explained, it's very similar to a Glycolic Peel but "infused with stem cells to regenerate new and healthy cells, which gives a rejuvenated appearance and helps fight the signs of aging." As the process began, Terri was thorough not just in explaining the process, but everything I'd feel - I was struck by her accuracy...the woman knows what she's doing! The lavender mask and neck and shoulder massage that ensued left me without a care in the world...utter relaxation is the only term to come close to my experience, yet I'm not sure the words give it justice.
Prices are quite reasonable for the area, ranging from $15 for a lip or chin wax, to $250 for a TCA/Retinol Peel.
The next time you're shopping on the Magnificent Mile, plan a stop to relax and unwind at True Skin Care Center, a decision you won't regret!
