The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

Besides being a beautiful actress and a new mom, Keri Russell has a hidden talent as a makeup artist! Lucky magazine stylist Liz McClean decided to have a fashion show with pieces from her clothing line and friend Keri Russell was invited to help pitch in. Keri brought along her own makeup bag and went to work on the models. “I didn’t do too much – it was about keeping the focus on Liz’s clothes,” Keri explained.

She continued, “A litle mineral powder to smooth out my skin, mascara, and lip gloss, and that was it!”

I guess if her acting career doesn’t work out she can always find work as a makeup artist. I’m betting she learned a lot too from being a Cover Girl, and most likely does her own makeup for events.

Kim Kardashian wants to know how you think she looks with no makeup, or her ‘natural’ look. It looks like she’s wearing much less makeup then she usually does on the red carpet and on her show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

I think she is naturally beautiful, but everyone looks good with a little makeup on.

** Yes, I know I’ve been writing lots of posts on Kim Kardashian, I promise I’ll take a break **
