Zoe Saldana “Star Trek Into Darkness” Los Angeles Premiere May 14, 2013

Makeup artist Vera Steimberg created a “chic, French-inspired” makeup look on actress Zoe Saldana for the “Star Trek Into Darkness” movie premiere in Los Angeles.

LIPS: Deep red lips provided an elegant contrast to the actress’ sheer, nude gown

·         Steimberg applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Hollywood ($26) to Saldana’s lips. “As soon as I saw the dress, I knew we had to go with a red lip,” she stated.

EYES: Soft browns and metallic golds balanced bold lips

·         First, Steimberg mixed Laura Mercier Metallic Crème Eye Colour in Gold and Burnished Copper ($23 each) and applied the combination to Saldana’s eyelids and along the bottom of the star’s lash lines.

·         She then lined the inside rims of the eyes using Laura Mercier Eye Pencil in Special Brown ($20).

·         Next, she applied Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Colour in Earth Glow ($24) under Saldana’s eyes, close to her lashes.

·         For added definition, Steimberg applied a combination of Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour inCoffee Ground and Truffle ($23 each) to the outer corners of Saldana’s eyes.

·         She added the final touch of glamour by applying multiple coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara in Black ($24) to the actress’ top and bottom lashes.

FLAWLESS FACE: Illuminated, flawless skin

·         Steimberg covered minor imperfections using Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-6 ($30). 

·         Next, she lightly dusted Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating Powder in Candlelight ($32) over the star’s face to create a natural glow.

·         Lastly, Steimberg applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Blaze ($24) to the apples of Saldana’s cheeks to create a natural flush of colour.
