Last week when I heard the fantastic news that the beautiful and talented Afro-Latina actress Zoe Saldana was named the New International Spokesperson for L’OREAL Paris, I was overjoyed. Being that I am Afro-Latina, and a L’OREAL Paris Pro Makeup Artist it was a dream having her join the family. Growing up I didn’t have many beauty messengers that looked like me, being brown skin and spoke Spanish on television, in magazines or on movie screens.
We all know that Zoe is an effortless beauty and on this day it means so much to young afro-latina girls growing up. Being that L’OREAL Paris, a major beauty company, it feels like validation that we (Afro-Latinas) are beautiful. Congratulations on this great accomplishment. I look forward to seeing you and one day possibly doing your makeup.

So how can you achieve Zoe Saldana effoertless makeup look on her new campaign pictures and video? I selected a few products from L’OREAL Paris that Zoe could be wearing that would look great on everyone. Just remember Zoe like the minimal when it comes to her makeup.
I suggest the following makeup tip I would use if I was doing Zoe’s makeup.
1. I would start with using a damp Beauty Blender when applying the Lumi Foundation.
2. Use a fluff brush or your finger when applying your eye shadow.
3. When applying the cream blush use your middle & index finger in pat only on the apple of the cheeks for a sheer look.
4. The same with your lips, pat with your Index/Grooming finger when applying the Extraordinaire to achieve a wash makeup look.
