Rosario Dawson and America Ferrera teamed up for Voto Latino’s Purple Carpet Bash held at All American Pub on Wednesday, September 5th, 2012 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The ladies were joined by Voto Latino president Maria Teresa Kumar, comedian Al Madrigal, and singer Gabe Saporta who posed their fingers in a letter “V” and “L” shape to represent Voto Latino!

I’m so proud of my Latina sista’s who are working overtime to ensure the community exercises their right, this election year, and votes! I don’t really like to get political on Accidental Sexiness because I love all our readers, republicans, democrats, independents and everyone else in between. I just hope that no matter who you vote for, you realize how important YOU are to the election process.

Voto Latino is a next-generation, constituency based organization that empowers American Latinos to claim a better future by voting. United by the belief that Latino issues are American issues and American issues are Latino issues, Voto Latino is dedicated to bringing new and diverse voices into the political process by engaging youth, media, technology and celebrities to shake up the political process.

Hot Make-Up Trends: Anna Paquin and Rosario Dawson

The spring/summer season is bringing in a hot new beauty trend: glowing skin, sultry eyes and nude, natural lips. Both Anna Paquin and Rosario Dawson were spotted rocking this trend on the red carpet at the 98th Annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on April 28, 2012 in Washington, DC.

Our friends at L’Oreal Paris help us recreate their look with some of their hottest products including the Magic Lumi Primer, True Match Super-Blendable Foundation, and Magic Lumi Highlighter to achieve glowing skin. For the sultry eyes you will need, L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow and their Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara.

To finish the look, you will need L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Balm to achieve the nude, natural lip. This if a fabulous palette for a fancy night out, hot date or any special occasion.

Here is the breakdown on how to do it for yourself. (Note: All products are available via their website here and chain drug, food and mass market retailers)

GET THE LOOK: GLOWING SKIN

To achieve glowing skin, L’Oréal Paris brings a new level of luminosity to the mass market with the launch of the Magic Lumi collection. Formulated with unique Liquid Light technology, the products are designed to blend into skin for a subtle glow and flawless complexion. The Magic Lumi Primer (above right) smooths skin texture and provides a perfect canvas for makeup application. It can be mixed with foundation or worn alone to simply give skin a fresh, dewy look. The universal shade works on all skin tones and textures and adds an instant layer of luminosity.

Price: $12.95

Next to apply foundation, get the perfect match for your skin with L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Makeup, which now offers 33 lab-developed formulations. These are guaranteed to match 100% of all skin tones. The foundation’s beloved texture blends seamlessly, mimicking skin’s texture to provide a flawless canvas.

This is literally one of my favorite foundations to use because of how many different shades are available.  I use Honey Beige most of the year though I go a shade darker during the summer when I get a little sun or I use a bit of bronzer.

Price: $10.95

L’Oréal Paris Magic Lumi Highlighter (below, far right)

To give your skin the final glow, use the Magic Lumi Highlighter, available in three shades (Fair, Light & Medium). It covers and minimizes skin imperfections and instantly brightens facial shadows and dark under-eye circles, giving brows a wide-awake effect. The formula is infused with chamomile extract, glycerin and goji berry to promote radiant skin and illuminate the face.

I haven’t personally tried this product out yet but I do use a similar product from YSL.  At this price point though, I am definitely going to give it a try!

Price: $12.95

GET THE LOOK: SULTRY EYES

L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow (above, top left)

Get smoky, seductive eyes with the irresistible L’Oreal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow, the first 24-hour formula in the mass marketplace. Available in a range of 12 luxurious and wearable shades, the velvet-soft shadow blends easily and provides a pop of luminous color with a smooth finish that won’t settle into eyelid creases and lines. Eye shadow-wearers can now experience the colors they crave with the long-wearing benefits like the stars that walk the red carpet.

The pigment from these shadows are amazing! They definitely compete with brands at a higher price point without sacrificing on quality.

Price: $7.95

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara (above, far left)

To add the finishing Hollywood glam touch, extend your lashes with the breakthrough in fiber mascara technology—L’Oréal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes. The mascara reinvents the false eyelash look, making it possible to achieve the clean impact of professionally-applied false lashes. A combination of super-fine nylon and rayon fibers perfectly adhere to natural lashes, enveloping them from root to tip thanks to an exclusive polymer in the formula. Meanwhile, an architectural precision brush with a 40-degree angle and reverse twist bristles ensure optimal application, making lashes appear fuller, longer, curled and sculpted. Available in Black, Blackest Black, Black Brown, Waterproof Black and Waterproof Blackest Black.

I love trying out mascaras to see which can survive my high demands.  I have this one ready for trial, stay tuned for a review soon!

Price: $9.95

GET THE LOOK: NATURAL LIPS

The new tinted lip balm from L’Oreal Paris delivers care and comfort to lips while providing the shine and sheer color that women crave. Thanks to its nurturing formula with Shea butter, Argan Oil, Vitamin E, Rose Canina Oil and SPF 15, Colour Riche Balm delivers eight hours of continuous hydration. Lips feel soft and supple all day long and conditioned for up to 2.5 hours after the balm is removed. Available in eight wearable shades, Colour Riche Balm leaves lips with a healthy hint of beautiful color.

Rosario Dawson is red hot in Washington

Latina’s are known for their spicy personalities, so I find it extremely apropos that Rosario Dawson rocked a red gown to the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner! The big soiree was held at the Washington Hilton on Saturday, April 30th, 2011 in Washington, DC.

Dawson will begin promotions in a couple of months for her new film, Zookeeper alongside Kevin James and Ken Jeong. The romantic comedy follows the story of Griffin Keyes (James), lovable zookeper who gets help from animals at a zoo after they decide to break their code of silence in order to help him win back the affection of Kate (Dawson), the woman of his dreams.

Look out for that on July 8th, 2011.
