It’s Friday (yay!) and that means it’s time to think about what kind of a makeup look you’ll be doing this weekend. When the temps rise, I know I’m all about wearing less obvious makeup. That’s why I love Charlize Theron’s beautifully understated makeup she wore to the Dior and Vogue event to celebrate her Africa Outreach Project in LA on Apr. 27. “I wanted her to feel soft and comfortable,” says celebrity makeup artist Shane Paish who created Charlize’s look for the evening. “I didn’t want it to feel too heavy.” Shane is also a huge fan of lighter color palettes this spring too. “I am liking a balance of fresh, more casual looks for evening as long as there is color to flush the face and eyes that pop,” Shane says. “It’s chic, modern and young. It’s just a refreshing change for those nights that are more on the casual side than full fledged high glam and drama.”
