So, today we are going to have another quick look at some racing stuff from this past weekend, and we're going to have ourselves a fun giveaway. A racing related giveaway. Perfect for race fans and for girls who don't follow racing at all...
First up, if you didn't check in yesterday, 12 of my favorite drivers from the NHRA had a little video chat with my blog readers.
That's you!
I don't know if that's ever been done before for someones blog? You should feel a bit special round about now... If you didn't see it yesterday, or if you want to see it again (and again and again) I've put it at the bottom of today's post. You have to check it out. Its very cool. There's a list of the drivers and links to their websites on yesterdays blog post Weekend At The Races.
I have to congratulate 2 of the drivers on the video for winning this weekend. Cory Mac won Top Fuel Fast Jack Beckman won Funny Car. Congratulations guys! And congratulations Don Schumacher Racing.

Anyway I'll be back to makeup videos in the next couple of days, but today I've got one more for the race fans. If you've never been to an NHRA race before you need to beware of the warmup. Its quite something. If you're walking through the pit area and you hear them fire up one of the cars, get upwind as quickly as you can. Its super loud (earplugs!!) And the fumes will make your eyes pour tears, your nose, throat and lungs burn.
Here's a video I took from inside the DSR Hospitality suite, looking into Jack Beckman's pit. On my handy dandy FlipCam UltraHD from The Flip.com Check out the folks at the fumey end of the car! Crazy!!
And now for our spectacular giveaway!

So this weekend the NHRA rolled into Firebird International Raceway.
Once again we were taken care of by Don Schumacher Racing, who not only have amazing hospitality, but really do seem to enjoy being fantastic hosts.
They take an already fun situation and really raise the bar. Love it!
Courtesy of the fine folks at TheFlip.com I was armed with a flipcam ultraHD so I could get you the goods from behind the scenes.
I decided it might be fun to have you meet some of my favorite drivers. So on Saturday we made you a little movie. You'll see how cool and fun these guys and girls are. Check it out:
Aren't they cool? There were a couple more I was planning on getting for you, but fun, racing and socializing all got me distracted...
Anyway, here are the stars of this little video, (in order of appearance) and I've linked their websites so that you can go check them out.
NHRA races are really fast, exciting, and so loud you can "feel the noise". Here is another clip I got with the FlipCam UltraHD. It shows John Force and Cruz Pedregon racing their Nitro Funny Cars.
Each run starts out with a burnout. Now I'm sure there's some technical thing going on, getting traction for the tires or something, but it always looks like big old macho man posturing, pre race psyching the opponent out . Its brilliant! I looove it!
Tomorrow I'll have some more fun stuff to show you, and who knows, maybe a giveaway too.
Actually, we will do a giveaway. See you tomorrow!
I'm always talking about Julie Hewett's fabulous Cheekie in the shade Vampie. Basically because I wear it everyday and L.O.V.E it!
Anyway, people often tell me that they don't know how to put on cream blushes, or they see how deep the color of Vampie is in the pot, and think they're going to have dark purple cheeks. Not so lovies! Its really easy to apply this beautiful cheek color, and this is how you do it:
I beyond loved and adored the fantastic eye at Venexiana (above). Bare/nude face, enormous lashes, and exquisitely blended chocolate brown shadow. Fantastic!!

Devi Kroell (above) and Philosophy both showed bare face and big liner. Good for a show, but maybe a bit too fashion victim-ish for street level. I'd add a little more love to translate this to regular gal wear.
At Marc Jacobs Francois Nars gave a very soft blue and lavender eye, with black liner and clumpy lashes, evoking that Kate Moss feel of the morning after the night before.
At Thakoon Diane Kendal gave us luminous, fresh skin, enhanced with Nars Lovejoy on the cheekbones, and newbie Medusa on the apples (due fro release fall 2010). Many of the bare faced looks are very ho hum, but I thought this one was lovely.

I love this Carolina Herrera LBD. Love, Want, Need.

The makeup at Carolina Herrera is perhaps my favorite to date. Largely because it translates beautifully to street wear, and is gorgeous on most, if not all, skins. Makeup genius Diane Kendal, this time in for MAC used Indian Ink and Fig shadows, offset by Subtle Romance lip shine. This look is forever.
Back when I was doing runway shows things were pretty different. The lead makeup artist created the look using products he or she loved and used. Now it is mostly paid for by MAC. Ho hum. Not as much fun.
Anyhoo, along with one of my best friends, Nashville Makeup Artist Lisa Johnson, I've been watching the makeup at fashion week in NYC. And here is some of what we're seeing:

At Nicole Miller the concept was Bright Lights, Big City - the woman who wants to conquer the urban Jungle. Makeup Artist Tom Pecheux decided to do a smudgy, somewhat greasy looking eye. Pretty cool really. He used MAC gray lip gloss in Meow, and applied it to the entire eyelid up to the brow, then smoldered in MAC Smolder eye pencil along the lids and crease as well as the lashline. He then smudged MAC Fearless lipstick under the lashline as a liner.
Although fierce on the runway, the greasy lip products would no doubt be tricky to wear at street level, but its easy enough to copy this cool look with shadows.
Getty images At Nicole Miller MAC Makeup artist James Kaliardos went for a look that was hazy, sweet and really beautiful. He did a gray smoky eye, rosy cheeks, and a stained mouth (using MAC lipstick in Plum Dandy)
This pretty look will be huge for fall/winter, and will look fabulous on most.

Woo hoo! Love this one! Diane Von Furstenburg. MAC Makeup Artist James Kaliardos did this one too. Mac black cream shadow with blue and green powder shadows over top and some sparkle in the inner corner.
