Kelly Ripa is sharing some of her makeup and beauty tips on her new Beauty Blog. Kelly shares everything from what skincare products she uses to what color shadows and glosses she wears.

Kelly’s makeup artist, Michelle Champagne, gives details on what colors she applies on Kelly day to day.

Michelle says, “I use smokey earthy tones to contour the eyes. The brow bone is usually highlighted in a bisque with the slightest shimmer. The lid of the eye, usually shaded with a hit of copper or ginger to accentuate her blue eyes and make the white of the eyes brighter. Under the eye is shaded with MAC paint pot in Constructivist.”

Michelle goes on to list some of her favorite shadow sets that she uses on Kelly, “Nars India Song, Isolde, and Surbaya, Longo shadow trio in Topaz Dulux, MAC shadows Omega, Wedge, Era, Vapor, Nylon, Bisque and Jest.”

For lips Kelly’s makeup artist lines in a neutral skin tone like MAC Spice or Bobbi Brown Brownie liner.

“We use Scott Barnes Lipslicks, all of them are gorgeous, especially Suggestive. MAC MidiMave lipstick is one of my favorites, along with MAC Tinted Lipglass in C-Thru, LycheeLux, Florabundance, and Underage.”
