The makeup in this short film was beautiful; how did it represent the woman you were portraying?
The woman I was portraying is modern, free, and independent. She has to seduce a man. So my makeup was strong, modern, and sexy at the same time.

What type of makeup do you prefer?
I don't have any favourite colours. It depends on the time of day. For evening, I like to have strong makeup. I trust the makeup artist. And during the day, I like to be with no makeup.

The secret to your flawless skin?
To be happy and in love.

Who would be your favourite hair stylist and makeup artist?
The hair artist I like is Odile Gilbert, who did my haircut recently, and for makeup I prefer Kate Lee, or Christophe Danchaud who did the look for the Coco Mademoiselle ad campaign.

Isla has been on a plane more times the past few months than most women are in 10 years. Recirculated airplane air is incredibly dehydrating! I always start each makeup application with a face oil massage, but this time I really focused on pushing a lot of the product into her skin: Ila Face Oil for glowing radiance.

Once it had fully absorbed, I massaged in Soleil Organique 100% mineral sunblock for face, SPF 45 so that her fair skin wouldn’t burn during our long shoot in the sun. It’s very emollient and easy to spread, and the ever-so-slight white sheen inherent in all mineral sun blocks fades quickly.

I applied Vapour Organic Beauty Atmosphere Luminous Foundation Stick with a foundation brush very sparingly to create a flawless complexion, and then gently pressed a slightly damp beauty blender all over her face to ensure the perfect, natural texture.

To give her a beautiful rose bronze glow, I tapped Alima Pure Bronzer in Belize which as a slight reflective quality, and Alima Pure Satin Matte Blush in Pink onto the apples of her cheeks, and fully buffed it into the entirety of her cheek using a big soft brush.

Known for her roles on “Dexter” and “Chuck,” Yvonne Strahovski, 31, plays a scientist in the film “I, Frankenstein,” opening next year. Raised in Sydney, Australia, she lives in Los Angeles and maintains her blond good looks with a beauty routine that emphasizes natural products, notwithstanding highlights and the occasional spritz of Chanel. She explains here.

SKIN CARE

My morning routine is pretty basic and simple. I try to use natural products. I’m superconscious of not putting chemicals on my skin, like parabens and sulfates. I love MyChelle products. It’s this organic line that a friend, who is a makeup artist and facialist, introduced me to. I use the fruit and enzyme cleanser and then I moisturize with the pumpkin cream. They also have a couple of serums that I sort of go between, like this morning, I put on the G2 one, which is a firming serum.

I use a foundation by Koh Gen Do. I put it on with my hands. I think it spreads a more even layer. I’ll also do mascara, but I’m always changing up which brand. I’m still trying to find a really great natural one. I’ve used the Josie Maran one before, which is O.K. But one of my favorites is the pomegranate tinted lip balm by Burt’s Bees. I have them everywhere: one at home, one in my pocket, one in my purse. That’s pretty much it and then I’m out the door.

At night, I’ll follow the same routine as in the morning. I don’t use makeup remover, but just the same MyChelle cleanser. But I will use an exfoliator — they have a great one with enzymes — after a day of working in heavy makeup. Also, I’m very much into oils. Sometimes, I’ll put on this great 100 percent pure vitamin E oil. If my skin is irritated or it’s been a long work day, I like to put on a little lavender oil or maybe eucalyptus, which is really good for healing. And there’s this great Australian product called Papaw. It comes in a red tube and it’s a fermented fruit product that most people probably use as a lip balm, but I put it around my eyes and let it soak in overnight. It’s very moisturizing and you wouldn’t want to put it all over because it’d be too oily.
