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

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.

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!

C

The Globes Are Coming!!

I'm so excited!
My favorite season is here.
Award Show Season!

That means all the fabulous fun of the red carpet.
This year I'm not in Hollywood working on the shows,
but I will be watching every moment,
checking out every dress,
every accessory,
and all the makeup and hair.

This weekend I am excited to see what Penelope Cruz will be wearing.
She has been rocking the red carpet at the Nine premieres (and everything else she goes to)

Here she is at the LA Premiere


London, freeeezing in Dec!
yet oh so beautiful



I hope she gets best supporting actress.
I also want Marion Cotillard to win
Rob Marshall
Jeff Bridges
Robert Downey Jr

Oh!

I. Can't. Wait.

9 Essential Pieces For Your Makeup Wardrobe

New year, new decade. We've been cleaning out all the old, icky makeup that we have no more use for...
So now its time to make a list of the basic products a girls needs to build her makeup wardrobe from the ground up. Most of you wont need all new products. Use this list as a guide to fill in the missing links.

Look at building your makeup wardrobe the same way as you build a really fabulous clothing wardrobe.
Select great quality, well made products that will serve you well for a long time, not just a season.
A few key pieces can take you beautifully through any event.
The following list makes up the staples for your collection. Think of them as the LBD and black high heels of makeup...

1) Primer.
This is going to give you a pre-makeup base for your foundation to adhere to, to help it stay even, keep it matte, and in general will make your makeup look beautiful, longer.

2) Concealer.
I'm loving Makeup Forever's HD concealers and Julie Hewett's Omit concealers.
I wear one of these two brands every day.
Make sure the concealer you buy can be applied super sheer, so you don't have creasy, gooey or crepey looking concealer showing through your makeup.
Not a good look.

3) Foundation.
Buy the best that you can afford. If you can do a flawless base your makeup will always look great. Try to buy quality.



I normally have a slightly fuller coverage foundation for going out at night, and a lovely sheer, fresh base for day to day.
Be aware too that most of us are a different color during the winter than we are mid summer, so be prepared to have a couple of different shades as well as formulations in your makeup arsenal.

4) Powder.
You need two powders, one loose to set your foundation, and one pressed to do touch ups with.
Ideally get a powder that is colorless and translucent.
When buying powder one of the most significant factors is how finely milled it is.
The smaller the particles, the less you will see on the surface of the skin.
A good powder will be colorless and very finely milled, and will disappear into the skin when applied.

5) Highlighter.
Somewhere along the line its nice to add a highlighter to your product list.
Create a little sheen to the upper cheekbone, keep the skin looking dewey and healthy.


6) Blush.
Invest in a beautiful, soft blush.
This year we will be seeing a lot of soft, beautiful cheeks, so look for gentle hues rather than intense colors that deliver a more angular, defined cheek.

7) Brows.
The look for brows right now is soft, natural and unstructured.
Put brow pencils aside and move into a soft shadow for your brows.

8) Mascara.
I'm not a fan of drug store mascaras.
You dont have to spend a lot of money on mascara, but do get a quality one.
MAC has several that are inexpensive and good.
If you're not going to be swimming or crying, avoid waterproof.


9) Lip Balm.
Every night, every morning, keep your lips luscious.



Eyeshadows and lip colors are more seasonal, so I'll be showing you different products as they come along, but this list should get you started on building a makeup wardrobe that will take you through any season, to any event, or just day to day wear.
