America Ferrera's Makeup From The 2009 SAG Awards. America Ferrera's makeup breakdown. Linda Hay created America Ferrera’s gorgeous red carpet look for the SAG Awards. She used YSL's Touche Eclat around the eyes, the nose and the corners of the mouth and finished with a light dusting of powder.

Next, Shu Uemura’s "Peche" directly to the apple of the cheek.

For the eyes, she drew a fine line on the top eyelid with Jouer's eye definer "Mure". Using a large flat eye brush, she swept a shimmering white shadow from Cle de Peu's #14 Eye Quad, across the entire lid, up and into the brow. She lined the silver shadow from the same palette to the bottom lid and from the inside corner to the outside corner of the eye. The inside of the eye was lined with Jouer's eye clarifier "Clair". Finally, Linda applied three coats of CHANEL mascara to both top and bottom lashes. The brow was strong and well defined using Anastasia's Brow Kit. She sealed the look with MAC’s Viva Glam on her lips.
