“I travel a lot and I meet different people, so I like to experiment with different kinds of styles,” Tabasco says. “For makeup, I also like to experiment with different vibes, different looks. I don’t have a specific inspiration — I like to trust the makeup artist who is there at the moment, and when you find people like Allan, it’s very easy to trust.”
The 29-year-old actress, who attended the Film Festival as a guest of the beauty brand, believes makeup is used to “enhance the natural look of a person.” “I love a natural base, luminous and very simple with an enhanced look to bring out the beauty of my dress.”
With the help of Avendaño, Tabasco’s makeup looks did just that.

Avendaño shares that the inspiration was Audrey Hepburn: “fresh and effervescent.” “She has [Hepburn’s] brows and bangs and she has a similar vibe, very sophisticated and classy and not overdone. And I feel like when I see Simona, that’s how I think of her,” he says.
For her first look, the pro focused on “perfect glowy skin, a little tiny wing, and a natural lip. She’s already beautiful, [the makeup] just accentuated that.”
To get a lit-from-within look he mixed the brand’sRevitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid SerumwithTrue Match Lumi Glotion.

Lastly, Avendaño enhanced Tabasco’s natural lip color withColour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick in Le Nude.
He says, “it was just a perfect match for her lip. It’s a matte finish but her lips look moisturized because [the formula] has a hyaluronic acid in it.”
