Tomorrow is the birthday of famous actress Ava Gardner, who rose to the status of Hollywood starlet after her delightful performance in
Mogambo that earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the Academy Awards. Her innumerable years in the limelight were filled with beautiful parties and intriguing relationships. Ava was married not only Mickey Rooney (1942-1943), Artie Shaw (1945-1946), and Frank Sinatra (1951-1957). Her stunning elegance and natural good looks made her a beauty icon for many years to come.
Ava Gardner's simple beauty is arresting to the eye and her makeup routine is fairly simple to copy. It focuses on highlighting your good features and making everything look effortless. This look is perfect for Christmas parties and Christmas Eve services. It is understated and refreshing in this often ostentatious season. Start out by washing your face and making sure to scrub any dry skin off, top with a face lotion with SPF. Smooth your complexion out with some concealer to cover any imperfections then lightly brush a mineral foundation to further even out your skin tone. To your cheekbones, add a peach cream blush to bring a hint of warmth. If you have thinner eyebrows, fill them in with a eyebrow pencil one shade lighter than your hair. With an eyeshadow brush add a light gold shadow to the inner corners of your eyes and your eyebrow bones. Finally coat your eyelashes with black mascara. If you want to give your beauty look an extra punch add a bright lipstick like an orange-red or bright pink. It will pop against the natural makeup.
