Whitney PortApparently Whitney Port doesn’t use a makeup artist for The City.  As a result she got really good at applying her makeup.  It only takes her five minutes!  Whit isn’t a fan of heavy makeup, so she sticks with the basics.  Here’s her routine:

Step 1: mix Fresh High Noon Freshface Glow with Fresh Soy Face Cream for a base and sun-kissed glow

Step 2: even out skin with Bare Minerals Powder with SPF 15

Step 3: dust Guerlain Number One for Blondes onto the cheeks, hairline, and jawline

Step 4: brush NARS Blush in Orgasm to the cheekbones, forehead, nose and chin

Step 5: define brows with Anastasia Brow Gel

Step 6: highlight the brow bone with Benefit Cosmetics Eye Bright

Step 7: curl lashes with Sephora eyelash curler and add swipes of Maybelline mascara

To take the look from day to night:

Step 8: line eyes with Stila Smudge Pots using a slanted brush

Step 9: Fresh Sugar Lip Stain with SPF 15

You know if I had an extra $200 lying around, I would definitely head right over to Saks and pick up the Marc Jacobs Polished Face Kit.  But alas, this poor starving student does not.  All I can do is dream.  The kit has practically everything that a makeup aficionado could wish for.  For $198, you get full size versions of Dior Five-Color Eyeshadow Compact, Yves Saint Laurent Touche Blush, Nars The Multiple, Guerlain Le 2 Two-Brush Mascara, Giorgio Armani Lip Gloss, and a deluxe sample of Chanel Sublimage, all enclosed in a luxurious Marc Jacobs cluth.  Wow, right?  It’s well worth its price tag.  Now you can see why I want it so badly?
