Amy Tagliamonti The Head Makeup Artist For The Gossip Girl Cast Shares Beauty Secrets

Allure Magazine spoke with Gossip Girl head makeup artist Amy Tagliamonti at a Make Up For Ever event and phoned her a few days later to get the scoop on the products she uses most often on the show. Lively's said her favorite products are: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils and Chanel Glossimer lip glosses. As for the Gossip Girl cast on and off the set the following below:

• Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation. "It evens the skin tone and covers redness, but it's not heavy and it doesn't cake."
• Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow palettes in Dunes and Spices. "I use these two palettes all the time on Blake—they're both a mix of golds and warm, natural shades. They're great for the daytime looks on the show because they add a little depth without looking over the top."
• Nars Duo Eye Shadow in Cordura. "I use these for nighttime looks on the show. Black can sometimes read as too heavy, especially on someone like Blake who has light eyes. Shimmery browns are great for a smoky look that's not too intense."
• Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner. "It goes on so smoothly, but you can also smudge it. Out of all the gel and cream eyeliners I've tried, this one stays on the longest and doesn't flake or run, so it's great for long days on the set."
• Lancôme L'Extrême Lengthening Mascara. "It gives the lashes amazing length without clumping or making them look spidery."
• Cargo Blush in Catalina. "It's a cool-toned pink, but it's more of a doll-like pink than fuchsia, so I can use it on any skin tone. A soft sweep of color is great on someone with fair skin, or you can add a few more layers on olive-y skin. I've tried a lot of other blush shades, but I always end up coming back to this one."
• Make Up For Ever Glossy Full Couleur lip glosses. "Even the intense colors are sheer, so they allow you to wear a bright color without it looking obnoxious. Or if you want a bold look, fill in your lipswith a bright lip liner that closely matches the gloss color, then apply the gloss on top." -Allure Magazine
