Lindsey — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:36:17 +0000

The Teen Choice Awards were filmed yesterday and the blue carpet was smokin’ with some hot (and some not so hot) looks! Check out my favorites of the night and be sure to tune in tonight (Aug 9) to watch the show!!

Khloe Kardashian looked amazing yesterday! My favorite look out of all the Kardashian sisters. Her makeup is gorgeous.

Selena Gomez always looks great on the red carpet! Yesterday was no exception; I loved her whole look, from her dress, to her hair and makeup.

I’m a sucker for clean, simple and pretty makeup like Ashley Greene’s!

Katarina Grahm had jewels glued to her eyelid which kinda killed her whole look for me. I just really love her neon pink lipstick.

San Diego’s Comic Con 2010 is finally over! For the past week, the city was jam-packed with celebs promoting their new films. Out of all the “looks,” I love Eva Mendes’ makeup on the red carpet for “The Other Guys” press conference on July 23rd! Her skin and eyebrows look amazing (as usual) and the pop of royal blue eyeliner on her upper lid is hot!! I’m also loving the peachy nude nail polish..

Scarlett Johansson and Cate Blanchett at the Tony Awards 2010

I LOVE Cate Blanchett! I think she is soo stunning and her skin is flawless!! Can you believe she’s 41?! Her makeup at the Tony Awards last night was so complimentary to her face, she looks like she is glowing!

I’ve really been liking Scarlett Johansson’s makeup lately! Even though purple and pink eyeshadow can be really difficult to pull off, I think it worked on her last night. Super fun and fresh.

Katy Perry at the MTV Movie Awards

Lindsey — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:14:36 +0000

Everyone was looking at Katy Perry last night during the 2010 MTV Movie Awards! Her bright blue wig had everyone talking but I was looking at her makeup!! Her skin looks flawless and the whole look is very clean and classy. I love how it balances out the crazy wig.

Makeup Artist Jake Bailey Created Katy’s Look for the Night.

She changed up her look during the show adding Barbie pink lipstick and an extra blue line on her upper eyelid.

I love her bright yellow nails!!

Wow, Kristen Stewart actually looks semi-happy, and less like she’s about to commit suicide!! Could it be because her makeup is flawless?? Love the eyes.

Taylor Swift needs to try a different red carpet look pretty soon… I feel like we’ve seen her wear blood red lips and winged liner one too many times. Fortunately for her, it looks incredible… but how could it not? Makeup artist extraordinaire, Pat McGrath created the look!

Pretend for a minute that Vera Farmiga is not wearing this dress… Now, look at her face and appreciate how gorgeous her makeup looks! Stunning.

2010 Oscars: Red Carpet Makeup

Lindsey — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:16:35 +0000

Best Makeup Looks From the 2010 Academy Awards

I am usually not a huge fan of Vera Farmiga’s makeup on past red carpets. Usually, she wears a dark eye and a nude lip, but this look is sooo much prettier on her!! I love the bright fuchsia lip (even though I wish it were not the exact same shade as her dress), rosy cheeks and light eye makeup. She may not have won the Oscar but she looked fabulous anyway!

Mo’Nique’s red carpet makeup was all about the contouring! She looked exquisite last night, and her sculpted brows and soft smokey eyes are to die for. Mo’Nique’s makeup artist, Derrick Rutledge, gave her a winning face that complimented her golden statue nicely ;)!

LOVE Zoe Saldana’s makeup last night!! Unfortunately, the still photos were not able to capture just how gorgeous she actually looked, but you get the idea. She was glowing. Want to re-create her nude, glossy lip? Zoe’s makeup artist, Vera Steimberg, used Smashbox’s Ophelia lip gloss!

Rachel McAdams looked gorgeous on the red carpet! Her makeup was a lot more subdued than other stars, but she looked stunning! Rachel’s sister Kayleen McAdams was her makeup artist for yesterday’s event. She used rose-golds and greys on her eyes, and Chanel’s Rouge Coco Lipstick in Rose Comete on her lips, with a little bit of Chanel’s Glossimer lip gloss in Futile dabbed on top for added shine.

Ok, first of all, why was Miley Cyrus at the Oscars???

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, as much as I hate to admit it, Miley looked amazing last night!! While I wasn’t too impressed with the hair, her makeup was my favorite of the night. She looked so sophisticated and pretty.

Lady Gaga at the Grammys

The Transformation of Gaga at the Grammys

Makeup Artist genius, Billy B, was the mastermind behind Lady Gaga’s four different looks last night at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. She was killing it all night long! Check out her transformation as the night went on..

Look One: Red Carpet

Gaga’s red carpet look was a dark greenish gold smokey eye. Her bold, flawlessly filled in eyebrows shaped her face and her skin looked amazing. Gaga’s lipstick is Viva Glam Gaga, from her new MAC Campaign with Cyndi Lauper, “From Our Lips.”

Look Two: Performance

Gaga opened the Grammy’s by singing a duet with Elton John! She wore two upside-down pink rhinestone triangles around her eyes, and the same pink lipstick as her red carpet look. It doesn’t look like rinestones were attached to her skin individually, but rather the entire shape was fixated around her eyes. During the performance, she disappears and re-appears with covered in soot, sans triangles.

Look Three: Audience

Lady Gaga’s 3rd look is very similar to the one she wore while performing. The pink triangles are back around her eyes, but this time without eyebrows or rhinestones! These triangles definitely look painted on. Her eyes are rimmed with jet black liner and her lips are a darker, hot pink.

Look Four: Press Room

Gaga’s final look of the night was a simple, yet dramatic, black smokey eye and nude lip.

Red Carpet Trend: Colorful Eyeshadow!

A Look into the Colorful Makeup on the 52nd Annual Grammy’s Red Carpet

Unlike the Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Grammys are an place where celebrities get a little more creative with their makeup! Bright colors were all over the red carpet yesterday, from eyes and lips, to Gaga’s yellow hair! It’s time to take a (short) trip down memory lane, into the best and worst colorful looks of the night.

Spanish singer-songwriter, Shaila Durcal, wore a vivid purple (looks like MUFE #92 eyeshadow?) smokey eye at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards last night. She looks fabulous, and her makeup is gorgeous.

Katy Perry wore yellow and purple eyeshadow, a bright pink lip and a golden bindi on the red carpet. I’m all for bindis, but I think she should have kept her makeup more neutral for this look to work. The bright makeup looks a little bit garish with her nude dress.

Melody Thorton from The Pussycat Dolls kept her look pretty natural, with just a wash of mauve eyeshadow on her upper and lower lid, and glossy pink lips.

Purple was definitely the color of the night! Singer, Kaya Jones, matched her eyes to her dress, which to be honest, is a huge pet peeve of mine. This look would be pretty if there were a little bit less purple. The bright color travels all the way around her eye making them look more bruised than glamorous.

Hillary Scott did this colorful trend justice last night! With just a hint of teal shimmer on the inner corner of her eyes, her look is sexy and fun. She keeps her blush and lips neutral, letting her eyes take all the focus. A+

Just because it’s a trend, it doesn’t mean that everyone automatically executes it flawlessly, lol. “Tick-Tok” singer, Ke$ha, showed up with this blue, bronze and yellow glittery mess all over her eyes. Sorry girl, but this look is not working for you.
