From Self:
True Blood-fever has definitely hit the SELF office (we can’t wait for our July cover to hit stands this week…wink wink), and last night’s premiere left two questions lingering in the beauty department: How amazing is Anna Paquin’s skin? And, how can we get our skin to look that flawless?
Since we’re sure you’re asking the same question, we tracked down some behind-the-scenes info from the set of True Blood. Hint: It’s REALLY easy.
Apparently, Brigitte A. Myre, Anna P’s makeup artist, relies on Cover FX Powder FX M40 and Cover FX Matte FX Oil Absorbing Powder in Light.
Here’s how you can get the look in three simple steps:
1. 1. Prep with a primer to smooth skin and keep the foundation in place longer.
2. 2. Use a dense kabuki brush to apply Powder FX, starting in the center of your face and working outwards. Make sure to use a small, circular motion to help polish the minerals and give that signature Sookie-radiance to your skin.
3. 3. Apply Matte FX Oil Absorbing Powder to finish (and throughout the day) to keep skin looking fresh.
From Zap2It:
“True Blood” star Anna Paquin shrugs off the suggestion that she did anything remarkable when she came out as a bisexual earlier this year in a PSA.
“I’m not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life for no reason, but obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about — and frankly, I don’t see why everyone doesn’t care about them,” Paquin, who is engaged to co-star Stephen Moyer, tells Zap2it. “So when I was asked to participate in that PSA (for True Colors First, a gay rights organization), it was just an obvious, ‘Well, of course I will.’
“It wasn’t like it was a big secret. It was just a cause I cared about and privately supported, but not one that I had ever had an opportunity to speak out about in a way that would be useful. Obviously I know that one person’s voice doesn’t necessarily do that much, but I just wanted to do my bit.”
Her announcement didn’t come as a surprise to her “True Blood” boss, Alan Ball, who is openly gay himself.
“I thought that was really brave, and I say ‘good for her,’” Ball says. “I like the fact that she doesn’t feel the need to keep that hidden, and she was sort of saying, ‘This is who I am and I am doing this because I want to make a stand for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people, and equal rights for all.’
“But I don’t think it’s that big a deal, really. I was aware of this before, but when I heard that she had made that announcement, I just said, ‘Good for you.’ “
