Beauty Tips from Blue Crush

How do those Blue Crush gals, KATE BOSWORTH (middle) and MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ (left, she's so cool), go from soaked to stylin'? It's all thanks to the expert cosmetic prowess of make-up artist Tarra Day.

For Tarra, who's painted many well-known Hollywood beauties (including DENISE RICHARDS, AMANDA PEET, and JAIME PRESSLEY), prettifying the Blue Crush girls was a day at the beach. All she had to remember was that, like surfing, looking good is all in the technique. Lucky for us, she shared some of her very own tips...

• Go 'au naturel.' In order to fulfill her look-good goal of giving both Kate and Michelle a natural, sun-kissed glow, she didn't use tons of make-up. Rather, she turned to her beauty caboodle and reached for jane's Glow Goddess in Sunny to enhance the girls' tans and add a touch of shimmer.

• Protect your prettiness. Remembering that looking good means nothing if you're not also healthy, Tarra made sure the girls' lip color was anti-chap, with SPF 15.

Be a daytime dynamo. For Kate's daytime look, Tarra brushed jane's Blushing Blossom lightly over the apples of her cheeks, then mixed two subtle-hued, iridescent jane eyeshadows, Radiation and Plutonium. "It adds a bit of pop when the sun would hit." On her lips, Tarra chose jane's fabulizer for lips in Pout or Mouthy.

Make a glamorous splash. When they were shooting Kate's big date, Tarra pumped up the shimmer but kept the tones neutral. "I used bronzing liquid all over her body, and mixed jane eyeshadows in Bashful and Sugared on her eyes." To perfect her hottie-ready pizzazz, Tarra defined Kate's lashes with jane fan club waterproof mascara in Blackest Curl, added a glimmer of green liner accents, and a nude lip shine.

Become a mix master. Mixing several colors together, as Tarra did with Kate's eyes, is fun and cool. "I'm a big mixer," she explains. "Experimentation is a great thing."

• Get to finger-painting. "Using your fingers is a great way to apply your foundation. I like applying cream blush with my fingertips -- dab it and blend it a bit. It helps give you a natural look."

Blue Crush is now available on DVD. Find out more about jane cosmetics.

 

 

Wait... we've got MORE Blue Crush tidbits...

Actress MIKA BOOREM, who plays Penny in Blue Crush, has shared the screen with some pretty big names. But before she rubbed elbows with MEL GIBSON, ANTHONY HOPKINS, DREW BARRYMORE, MORGAN FREEMAN, and JULIA STILES, she has made her mark at the prestigous Le Lycee Francais School in Los Angeles and recently received the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence.
   
Before writing lines for MARK WAHLBERG and JENNIFER ANISTON in Rock Star, director/screenwriter JOHN STOCKWELL (whose latest project is Blue Crush) was penning term papers for professors at Harvard.
   
He may have studied law Harvard-style in LEGALLY BLONDE, but Matthew Davis (who plays Matt in Blue Crush) really got his acting start on the stages of the University of Utah.
