We clamor over beauty secrets from those who paint the faces and coif the curls of our favorite stars. Makeup artist, Katey Denno, is just one of those beauty pros, spending most of her days on-set or on-location getting pretty faces gorgeous. Katey, however, has taken the whole process to the next level, using only natural and organic products on her clients!

Obviously, this is one beauty maven who is ahead of her time – and we’re thrilled to share insights like hers on The Chalkboard. We love knowing that the natural beauty industry is creating lipsticks and highlighters that a pro like Katey can count on to hold their own at A-list photo shoots! If you don’t believe us check out this look on the gorgeous (and hilarious) Isla Fisher. Here’s Katey…

Isla always makes me laugh. She’s definitely one of  the funniest woman I’ve ever worked with, and I love that she can crack up the room with a joke, a story – or simply a look!

During the many days of press for one of the recent films in which she stars (The Great Gatsby) I convinced her that she needed to branch out from her usual nude lip color because she looks fantastic in a bold lip. From that day forward, she let me experiment, painting her mouth with bright pinks, deep berries, and bold reds. Since then, every time I arrive to get her ready to walk a red carpet, shoot a picture for a magazine or make an appearance on TV, she points to the outfit she’ll be wearing and asks with an excited smile: ‘What do you think? Should we do a lip?’.

For the shoot below, we opted for a more neutral palette, one that every woman can feel beautiful wearing, and easily accomplish on herself!
