Like foundation, it evens out your skin tone and masks imperfections in a warm veil of luminosity. Find out how to create a natural bronzy glow, and how to pick your perfect color in the gallery.

Anna Faris Reveals the Secret to Her Enviable Glow

Mar 29, 2012 @ 4:35 pm

Anna Faris‘s complexion gives us serious skin envy, so when we caught up with the actress, who recently partnered with Jergens for their Places You Glow campaign, we had to get the details on her skincare routine. Her first step? A good SPF! “I wish I had started using sun protection earlier! I always forget, so moisturizers with SPF are perfect for me,” the actress told InStyle.com. I used to tan, but started using the Jergens Natural Glow & Protect lotion ($9; drugstore.com). An actress I worked with turned me on to the original product years ago.” While she begins the day layering her products, she’s equally dedicated to stripping them away after a long day. “I’m really diligent about taking off my makeup at night, especially after filming. I use a light cleanser followed by Lancome’s Bi-Facil ($27; lancome-usa.com) over my eyes,” Faris said. Click through the gallery for more celebrity-inspired skincare tips!

How to Get Elizabeth Banks’s Smooth Skin

Mar 13, 2012 @ 5:30 pm

Elizabeth Banks shined at the Los Angeles premiere of The Hunger Games, and not just because of her blood orange Atelier Versace dress. Thanks to makeup artist Fiona Stiles, the Effie Trinket actress got a dose of glowing skin. “I have always thought that Elizabeth looked like a young Jane Fonda, so I used Barbarella as a reference for the makeup,” Stiles told InStyle.com. To achieve the fantasy look, Stiles swept Benefit’s Sun Beam ($26 at benefitcosmetics.com) over the bridge of Banks’s nose after applying foundation, then used the NARS Cap VertBronzer ($38 at narscosmetics.com) to define her cheekbones. She set her complexion with loose powder, and finished with a generous sweep of peach blush. Now that’s a look we love!
