The SAG AWards

So this weekend we had the SAG Awards.
There were a few fabulous and noteworthy moments on the red carpet. More so for the dresses than for the makeup.
But here are my faves:

Kate Hudson In Pucci.
This dress really showcased her phenominal body - check out her back!
And I really did like that sunkissed, neutral toned makeup.

Fox 10 Golden Globes Recap

Were you watching the Golden Globes segment we did this morning on Fox?
I think only the Arizona crowd could access it.

We were duplicating my favorite makeup looks from Sunday's red carpet,
so that you can pull them off yourself, and wear them out this weekend.
Fun!

So here's what I used:




My favorite look of the night was the gorgeous Christina Hendricks from MadMen.

Her makeup artist, Vanessa Scali, used the new Depsea and Egerie collection from Shu Uemura.

I used Julie Hewett eye palette in Soiree, applied with an Oval Shadow brush, a Chisel Fluff brush, and lined her upper eyelid with Makeup Forever Aqualiner in black, using a Bent Liner brush.
Then I added some Star Powder from Makeup Forever to make it glisten.

To create that gorgeous, perfect red lip I used my favorite red of all time, Julie Hewett's amazing Rouge Noir lipliner and lipstick and the CorinnaB Lip brush.







Sandra Bullock's makeup artist, Angela Levin used an assortment of Chanel shadows and Beige Felin lips to get this look.

To recreate this beautiful violet eye, I used Dolce by Julie Hewett, with an Oval Shadow brush, then Nars shadows Barbuda with the Chisel Fluff brush and Night Fever with the Angle Blender brush.
Using the Taklon Liner brush I ran some of the slightly sparkly Night fever through her lash line to get a shimmery liner.
I finished her eye with a touch of Julie Hewett Pixie, applied with my finger.

For her cheeks I used Julie Hewett cheekie in Vampie.

On her lips, Chanel's Beige Felin applied with the CorinnaB Lip brush.










To recreate Marion Cotillard's exquisite look, I used the Julie Hewett eye palette in Petite Four. I used the Oval Shadow brush to apply soft pinky Beurre all over, then the Chisel Fluff brush to run Mica over the eyelid.
I lined her eye with MAC Slate pencil liner, then using the Smudger brush I buffed the line out with a soft gray shadow.

That perfect, sexy, soft lip I used Julie Hewett lipstick in Simone









All makeup brushes are from CorinnaB.com

Here is some of the fun from this morning

NV Perricone Advanced Eye Area Therapy

Back to the glorious skin!

We've talked about cleansing, we've talked about your daytime moisturizer.
Now we are going to talk about eye care.
They say that your eyes are the windows to the soul.
Turns out they are also the windows to premature aging.
Great big windows with flashing neon lights above them.
There's no hiding it.

Using a high quality eye cream is one of the most important things you can do.
The skin around your eyes is actually the thinnest, most delicate skin on your body.
It needs its own special moisturizer.
And plenty of tender loving care.

Eye cream every morning and every night.
No excuses.

If you give your eye area the love, and keep it hydrated
it will love you right back.

I am in love with Perricone MD's Advanced Eye Area Therapy.
N V Perricone is a world renowned anti agin expert, award winning inventor and board certified dermatologist.
He gets written up everywhere.

And oh so close to my heart, he has devoted his career to keeping us youthful.
His skin care philosophy and products have revolutionized the industry.

His products are spectacular.

Just so happens I've been using his Advanced Eye Area Therapy for quite some time.
Religiously.
And I love it.
This one works on several things at once.
Fine lines and wrinkles and discoloration,
its tones and firms the skin around the eye area,
and it gives the skin a luminous, smooth appearance.
Magic in a bottle.
Love!

Breakfast TV With Fox

So last week I taped a segment with Fox for their breakfast programming.
We shot it at the gorgeous Arizona Biltmore,
which is hosting a Bridal Bootcamp with the ever amazing Victoria Canada at the end of the month.

This is a fabulous opportunity for brides to get up close and personal with all the vendors,
and get to talk weddings without being crushed in a bridal fair crowd scene
where everyone is trying to sell you something.

It's actually a super fun, super fab event.
Will and I will be there talking hair and makeup, and doing demo's etc.



Here we are doing some final touches on my model, the lovely Jennifer.
She is fantastic fun to work with - just how I like it!


We talked about beautiful radiant skin, and soft glowing cheeks.

Here we are at the end.
What fun!

If you are in the Arizona area, or are thinking about getting married out here, you can check out the Bridal Bootcamp on The Arizona Biltmore's page

Makeup Trends 2010

Oh dear!
Not quite sure that it is humanly possible to have
a more unflattering camera angle.
Or a worse hairdo.

The info is spot on though.

I apologize if these shots of me make your eyes bleed.

But here are the big new makeup trends for spring/summer 2010

Golden Globe Love!!!

I so loved the red carpet for the Globes last night!
Some year's the fashions aren't so fab, but the 67th Annual Golden Globes,
despite the pouring rain, were sensational!

I'm a little late getting today's post up, but between flying back from LA and racing to a magazine cover shoot, we're just gonna roll with it...

Today we're talking makeup, so lets look at the hottest looks from last night.


My absolute, most favorite moment on the red carpet was Christina Hendricks from Mad Men.
She absolutely
rocked it!
I love a red head in a red lip at the best of times, but this was so completely fabulous.
She stood out the moment she stepped onto the carpet.
Fresh, modern, beautiful and alive!
Loved it!

And so bold to pair a red lip with a peachy champagne dress, but so completely perfect!

My favorite color showed up this year, and looked totally spectacular.
Beautiful, vivid purple.

Sandra Bullock pulled it off to perfection with her violet eye makeup.


Makeup artist Angela Levin created this gorgeous look with a combination of Chanel eyeshadows
Silky Eye Duo in Orient Express, and Soft Touch Eye Shadow in Trace. She lined the eye with Chanel's Long Lasting Eyeliner in Violine, and used the lovely Rouge Coco lip colour in Beige Felin.
All of which I am sure will have sold out nationwide before today is over.


I am always excited to see the exquisitely beautiful Marion Cotillard.
She is consistently sensational on the red carpet.
This event was no exception.
She was magnificent.
Clear, radiant skin, a soft blue/gray liner, and I loved the lip color.
It looks like Bibo from Julie Hewett.



I could be mistaken, but it looks like Mr Jimmy Choo peeping out from her hemline too...


And then, of course, always perfection, the divine Miss Penelope Cruz.
She never, ever lets us down!
I loved the deep berry tones in her eye makeup.
She never looks less than stunning.
Love her!



The two themes that I most enjoyed at this year's Golden Globes were the soft, feminine hairstyles, and the slightly elongated eye.
Both looks are lovely on everyone, you and me included!

Have a gorgeous day!
