How To: Jennifer Aniston’s Makeup on the Cover of the January GQ…

Whether you love or hate Ms. Jennifer Aniston, there is no denying that at nearly 40 she looks smoking.  When I saw her up close in L.A. in October at a party at the infamous Chateau Marmont, her skin was flawless and she had that California girl glow about her (it was October people…LOL)

Fast forward to the January cover of GQ magazine, our Jen is on the cover BUT in nothing but a Black Fleece Brooks Brothers tie and some pretty feminine beachy makeup. Her makeup is sunny and fresh and you know what?  She looks happy…which is more than I can say for most actresses in Hollywood.

The Beauty Counter Blog over at Vogue’s Style.com caught up with makeup artist Angela Levin recently.  Levin, who readied Ms. Aniston for the Marley & Me premiere in L.A., says the actress’ all-natural look is 100 percent intentional: “She just wants to look and feel great and happy.”Us too—she is so relatable! See below for Levin’s tips on how to put it all together:

The Face

To prep Aniston’s face, Levin used By Terry Lift and Stretch antioxidant serum around her eyes to smooth skin before applying just a touch of Lorac Natural Performance Foundation in NP6. To add a bit of sun-kissed contour, Levin used Rimmel’s Sun Shimmer in medium matte and brushed Bobbi Brown’s Bronzing Powder from Aniston’s temples along her cheekbones. For a rosy glow on the apples of Aniston’s cheeks, Levin mixed a Chanel Crème Lipstick in Coco Red with a hydrating lip treatment and a dab of Sephora Blush Me! in Rose Rebelle.
