When you’re nominated for a Golden Globe, you’ve got to bring you’re A-game, and Tina Fey, who was nominated for Best Actress in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical last night, certainly did just that. The actress rocked the Golden Globes red carpet in a glam purple Oscar de la Renta gown and fresh faced makeup. Want to get her look? Celebrity makeup artist Gita Bass created Fey’s stunning look using Votre Vu skin care, and we got her expert tips for recreating the look!

Inspiration: “We were inspired by Tina’s Oscar de la Renta dress, which was a gorgeous purple shade, so we decided to create a rich, sexy but low-key look that wouldn’t compete with the gown,” Bass said.

Get the look:

1. Start by prepping the face with skin-soothing Votre Vu Tragic Magic Rescue Creme. “It calms the complexion, making it the perfect canvas for makeup,” Bass said.
2. Next, rub on Votre Vu Tout le Monde Antioxidant Eye Gelée under the eyes and brow bone: “It decreases puffiness instantly!”
3. Apply Sensational Eyes Eye Primer in Medium on lids for a flawless eye makeup base.
4. To create a well-defined brow and emphasize your natural arch, use Wonder Brow in Eva.
5. Smoothe on Votre Vu Champagne Kisses Lip Enhancing Balm to hydrate and prevent lipstick from bleeding and feathering.
6. To set the look and create a silky finish, dust on Mineral Powder in Light all over the face.
7. Finish by applying Votre Vu Tarte D’Amande Body Creme to décolletage, arms and legs for a gorgeous, well moisturized sheen.

And here are the Top 3 Makeup Tips from Celebrity makeup Artist Gita Bass:

1) Take really good care of your skin! If your skin is glowing, your makeup is halfway done!

2) Don’t pile on the foundation. Keep it light and blend it in, especially along the jaw line. Check it out in the mirror by your window — clearly, I am a tad obsessed with skin!

3) Have fun and experiment. Take note of trends but don’t be a slave to them. Makeup is all about self expression. Use it to make yourself feel good!

Introducing My New Skin Care line: Votre Vu!

As some of you may or may not know, besides being a color analyst, I am also a licensed Esthetician. Skin care has always been a passion of mine. I’ve been researching skin care lines for over a year now to add to my line of amazing beauty tools for my business. I am super excited to say that I have found what I feel is the PERFECT line to offer my PYW clients.

Introducing:




Votre Vu (pronounced “voh-truh-voo") is a luxury skin and hair care company, offering the finest French-crafted formulas for women and men. Vu’s premium line is botanically based with the freshest and most potent ingredients used in skin care – far exceeding what consumers typically find at the retail level – as the formulas and products are handcrafted in small, artisan batches with tight production controls. An American company, Votre Vu creates more than 50 botanically based skin and hair care products for women and men and two proprietary benefit beverages. Votre Vu’s prestige line – with the exception of the beverages – is handcrafted just outside Paris in a privately owned lab that has been custom blending award-winning formulas for some 80 years for upscale destination spas and dermatologists abroad. These professional-grade formulas now are available in the U.S., exclusively through Votre Vu brand ambassadors, such as myself. Votre Vu formulas have garnered several awards, including Victoires Beaute in Europe, the Redbook Most Valuable Product Award 2010, and the Shecky’s Beauty at its Best Award.

If you read my site and blog often, you’ve probably read somewhere that I am a thrifty person (i.e. I don’t like to spend any more money than necessary for beauty products-or anything for that matter). I won’t recommend any products that are not worth the money. I’ve personally tried the products and they make my skin feel amazing. I am not one for hyperbolic statements and claims. All I will say is that I am POSITIVE that you will see a difference in your skin from the first time you try it. Contact me via my Votre Vu website and ask for a sample so you can see for yourself.

Votre Vu is a new company and currently only ships within the USA (but they will no doubt be expanding soon). If you are outside of the USA, you can still purchase products directly from me and I will ship them anywhere in the world.

You can read more about the company, its history, the products (including ingredient lists) at my site: www.votrevu.com/loraalexander.

Also for today and tomorrow only, get FREE shipping with guaranteed delivery by Christmas!

I’m am such a believer in this company and its products that I am looking to build a team of brand ambassadors myself. If you are an image consultant, esthetician, someone with a passion for skin care or are simply looking to great financial opportunity, please contact me.

In a few weeks I will also be looking for independent representatives for my makeup line as well! I’m looking forward to 2012 being a beautiful year everyone!
