How To Achieve my FAVORITE Oscar Makeup Looks!

Here are my FAVORITE Oscar Makeup Looks, and some Tips on How to Achieve them yourself. 

#3 Charlize Theron- In my eyes, Charlize can never do wrong!! She is gorgeous and so very classy. I loved her flawless and natural makeup look, with bold lips. What I love most about his look, is that I feel like it is a pretty simple look for you to be able to do at home. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start off with a foundation and set it with powder, then follow with a rosy/reddish blush. Use a soft gold eyeshadow all over your eyelid and a little under your eyes. Then curl your eyelashes and apply 2 coats of black mascara to your top lashes. Complete your look with a pink red lipstick.  Try using: MAC Russian Red Lipstick, and Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara

 

#2 Jennifer Lopez-  Jennifer always looks amazing! I love that she has a natural look, yet made her eyes pop. Very elegant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start off with a natural foundation. Avoid powder to get that glowy JLo look. Use a brow powder or eyeshadow to define your eyebrows without them looking too painted on. Use a neutral color all over your eyes, and then follow with a grey/purple eyeshadow in your crease and under your eyes.  Make sure to blend! Use a liquid eyeliner and black mascara on your top and bottom lashes. Use a neutral pink lipliner and fill in your lips with concealer. Then follow with a neutral lipgloss. Try using: Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid, Loreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner, and MAC C-Thru Lipglass.

 

#1 Queen Latifah- Ooooooh Yes!! My favorite makeup look of the night. Her foundation is smooth and flawless, and this is the perfect example of how to give yourself smokey eyes, without looking like a clown!! lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start by doing your eyes first. Smudge black eyeliner on your eyelid  and under your eye, then blend a deep purple eyeshadow over it to soften it up. Also use the black eyeliner in your waterline for more definition. Follow with Black Mascara. Use a liquid foundation to give yourself a natural, flawless glow. Use a soft pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. Finish the look by lining your lips with a neutral pink lipliner, and follow with a pink/purple lipstick. Try using: Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid, MAC Smolder Eyeliner, and Nars Lulu eyeshadow

Hope I made it easier for you to achieve one of these looks for your next night out!

Tips on How to Achieve some of my Favorite Grammy Makeup Looks

From Fuchsia lips, to dark defined Eyebrows, and Bold eyes, the Grammys was a night for celebrities to express themselves!! As always, there was many good, and  many bad. I will let you be the judge of that. Here are my Favorite Makeup Looks, and some tips on how to achieve them!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To achieve Rihanna’s look, apply  concealer to your eyelids and then apply a silvery green eyeshadow by dabbing it onto your eyelids and under your eyes. Apply a neutral eyeshadow on your browbone, and blend a neutral brown eyeshadow into your crease.  Apply eyeliner on the inner rim of your eyes, and finish the look off with nice sparse false eyelashes. 

Try: Nars eyeshadow in Night Rider, #7 Mac eyelashes, and Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid in N7 Beverly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To achieve Heidi Klum’s look, apply a neutral shimmery eyeshadow on your eyelids, and then an orangey bronze color under your eyes and into your crease. Add a dark brown color to the corners of your eyes, and then use a dark brown eyeliner to the top and bottom of your eyes. Follow with black Mascara.

Try: Mac Eyeshadows in Amber Lights and Embark, and Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid in N3 Cindy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To achieve Lady Gaga’s look, apply concealer to your eyelids, and follow with a green eyeshadow. Use a neutral peach eyeshadow in your crease to blend the green. Use a black gel eyeliner on top and bottom, and then follow with black mascara. Use a peachy-pink blush and a Fuschia Pink lipstick.

Try: Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black, Nars Orgasm Blush, and Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid in N2 Heidi

How to Achieve Flawless Makeup Looks from the Golden Globe Awards

From Halle Berry to Christina Aguilera and Nicole Kidman, these women had one thing in common: They had Flawless Red Carpet Makeup!! Here are a couple of the Top Makeup Trends at the Golden Globes, and how to achieve them!! Try it out and remember, makeup is not permanent, so experiment and have fun with it!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Natural, Glowy, Flawless Skin-  Flawless Skin is always in! Achieve this by using a Liquid or Cream Foundation. Liquid Foundation will usually give you a more natural finish dewy finish, while Cream Foundation will allow for a fuller coverage. After applying your foundation of choice, use a translucent powder to set the foundation and take away excess shine. Make sure you don’t use a heavy powder as it will probably make your foundation look cakey.

I recommend :

Liquid Foundation: Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid…Cream Foundation: Bobbi Brown Stick Foundation…Translucent Powder: Makeup Forever HD Powder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sexy Defined Eyes- A big trend at the Golden Globes was Sexy Defined Eyes. They were made up, without being over-done. You can achieve this smokin look with Neutral Shimmery Eyeshadows, a good Pencil Eyeliner, and a Thickening Mascara. Use a shimmery Brown eyeshadow all over your eyelid, and blend into the crease. Then, apply eyeliner to the top and bottom of your eyes, then smudge to give it a soft smokey effect. Go over the eyeliner with a darker shimmery eyeshadow to blend out the eyeliner even more. Finish your eyes off with a couple coats of Black mascara.

I recommend:

Eyeshadows: Nars Eyeshadow Duo in Isolde…Eyeliner: Loreal Hip Color Chrome Eyeliner… Mascara: Mac Zoom Lash

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pinky/Peachy Blush- Blush is a must!! Always!! It brightens up your face, and puts color back onto your face after you have evened it up with your foundation. To apply your blush and naturally contour your cheeks, start at the apples of your cheeks and blend in an upward motion toward the top of your ears. A blush with a soft shimmer will further help you achieve glowy skin. 

I recommend:

Blush: Nars Blush in Orgasm or Laura Mercier Bronzing Duo in Coral Bronze

Hot off the Runway-The Hottest Makeup Trends for Fall ‘09

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have brought these photos to you from a recent photoshoot I did. Here are two of the hottest Makeup Trends for Fall ‘09!!

The first hot look is a very dark Smokey Eye, make sure to wing out the eyeshadow to elongate your eyes! Very Cleopatra-like!!  Keep the lips a very soft nude color, and define and darken your eyebrows.

The second look is a natural eye, no eyeliner and natural mascara. The main focus for this look will be your bold red lips!! Make sure to use a nude lipliner before the lipstick to stop the red lipstick from bleeding throughout the day.

And of course, Picture Perfect Skin is never out of style! To achieve that Flawless Finish, I used Daniel Chinchilla Cream Foundation on her!

Backstage at LA Fashion Week ‘09

I was backstage at all the hottest shows at LA Fashion Week this October ‘09 including the biggest show in Fashion Week, The Vintage Valentino Show. Makeup looks consisted of a Natural Dewey Face, to Smokey eyes with Red Lips. And everything in between!! The excitement never ended and models were coming in and out of the makeup and hair area all day long!!  The Backstage was crowded with Photographers who were there capturing the latest trends in makeup and hair, and of course all the Chaos that came with it!! Back to back shows, 3 days in a row! I even got my hands on one of the models from this season Project Runway! Here are a few images of my work on the Runway!!
