Debra Messing looked stunning at the Golden Globes Sunday evening and her makeup look was created by Jeannia Robinette for tarte cosmetics. Â The overall inspiration was “Debra said she wanted knock-em-dead eyes. She wanted a super smoky dramatic look, so we made it all about glamorous eyes, and accented them with a shiny, natural nude gloss on the lips.”
Here’s how Jeannia created the look:
Makeup-complexion
- To begin, Jeannia used tarte’s Amazonian clay 12-hour full coverage foundation with Broad Spectrum SPF 15, applied with tarte’s new airbrush finish bamboo foundation brush.
- She added a touch of sheen with tarte’s new maracuja blush & glow brightening luminizer and cheek tint in candlelight on the tops of her cheekbones and around her temples.
- She then used Amazonian clay bronzer in park ave princess to contour on the hollows of the cheek.
Makeup-cheeks
- To make her cheekbones pop, she used tarte’s new Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in buff a warm nude with a touch of shimmer, on the apples of her cheeks and along her cheekbones.
Makeup-eyes
- She lined the inner rims of the eyes with tarte’s emphasEYESâ„¢ high-definition inner rim eyeliner black pencil.
- Then she smudged smolderEYES Amazonian clay waterproof liner in golden black along the lash line, followed by smolderEYES Amazonian clay waterproof liner in olive, which added the perfect hint of green to complement her earrings.

I know some of Tarte’s makeup is really fab, but this picture looks terrible of Debra, wonder if it’s the makeup, or just the picture?
I agree – to me it’s not the makeup so much as it is the photography. I noticed that on a lot of the women this year.
