It may have only been Thanksgiving Day, but at an event to celebrate the re-opening of Hotel La Momounia in Morocco, Jennifer Aniston sported a beautiful midsummer’s glow.

Jennifer does this look so well it doesn’t really matter what time of the year it is. “To create this golden glow is simple” say beth bender, of beth bender beauty. Rather than applying your bronzer just on the apples of your cheeks, like so many of us do, try dusting it over the highest points of your face, like the center of your forehead, bridge of your nose, and middle of your chin.

Because this is where the sun hits your face naturally, it’s the best way to re-create what the sun would do if you spent some time sunbathing, but this is much easier, and much healthier for your beautiful face.

When applying the bronzing powder, make sure to shake off the brush after sweeping across your powder, and then going to the face. Too much color will overpower the look. For an added pop of color, try using an apricot, or pale pink blush and just applying to the apple of cheeks.

This Holiday Season Beth and I wanted to create a “holiday look” featuring Styli-Style Cosmetics.  The look had to be beautiful, natural and easy to recreate for all of our viewers.  While chatting over bagels at Panera Bakery in Studio City we came across Marcie Basso, celebrity mother of 3, who was looking for a makeover.  So, this is how our “Celebrity Mother/Daughter Holiday Make Over” was born…

Marcie Basso before Beth did her "Holiday Look"

The first thing Marcie needed was a good moisturizer so we used Ling Skincare which has the most amazing products to brighten any neglected face.  Her eye brows were groomed…(one of Beth’s specialties) followed by  “brow tint” by styli-style in taupe to fill in Marcie’s brows.  Then Beth used the lightest color from her “get happy” palette and pressed it into Marcie’s lids to cover up the redness.  She mixed the 2 darker colors and applied them into Marcie’s crease.  Styli-Style’s smokey eye pencil in charcoal charbon was put just above her lashes and their “Hideaway” concealer in light was used to even out her skin tone as well as cover any unwanted imperfections.

Beth added some Blackest Black Colorlash mascara, Luna Bronzer Blush in apricot and finished off Marcie’s lips with Champagne Plastique LipGloss all by Styli~Style.

Marcie absolutely glowing after her makeover!

Alexandria, her daughter, is 18 and has appeared in several print ads and television shows like Nickelodeon’s

“ICarly.”  These 2 gals are more like sisters and love to pal around Hollywood.

Alexandria Basso before her makeover

Being so young Alexandria’s skin was pretty flawless but she told the Bender Sisters that she wasn’t consistent with wearing SPF.  With her extremely fair skin she needs to wear an SPF of at least 30 every day to protect her skin!  We suggested Obagi Medical Products or Bioelements.

Beth filled in her brows with Brow Tint in taupe and plucked a few strays.  Her lids were dusted with a light ivory color from Beth Bender Beauty’s original “get in line” kit.  She then applied her SGB palette using the smoky stencil to ensure perfection.  She used the smokey eye pencil from Styli~Style above Alex’s lashes followed by Blackest Black Colorlash mascara and apricot Luna bronzer/blush to her cheeks. For added fun Beth applied one of my favorites…“liquid glitter” in gold on top of  Alexandra’s smoky eye.  Definitely festive for the holidays!

And now…introducing the “new” Marcie & Alexandria Basso ready for their Holiday Adventures…

Celebrity Mother and Daughter looking gorgeous after Beth worked her magic!

When Marcie’s husband got a look at the “new Marcie” he couldn’t keep his hands off her!  Her son Gabriel who is now shooting “The Middle” playing Brooke Shields son, wasn’t quite sure what to say…needless to say I think he didn’t like his mother looking like a “hottie.” Well, the Bender Sisters said “he needs to get over that…like yesterday…”

A big thanks to the girls@Gale Branding, Styli~Style, and The Basso Girls!
