MAC Cosmetics and LAMB at New York Fashion Week (Milk Studios)

Fashion week has began! I love LAMB and always rush first to see what Gwen Stefani has new for us. For fall 2010 LAMB has some lovely pieces in various fall shades of gray, brown and black. Just in the first day’s material so far I have seen a trend among the shows toward mixing brown with gray and utilizing thigh high boots and stockings—a look that I really like.

I think the below combo of leather pants and interesting shirt is my favorite from the collection. I also love the dress and high boots.

Here is a group shot that gives a good look at much of the LAMB fall collection as a whole:

MAC Cosmetics did the makeup for the LAMB fashion show. The look featured heavy, smoky eyes with a bright fuchsia red lip. The look was very dramatic. I’m a fan! the face chart for the makeup look is below:

Julia Roberts at the Golden Globes. Makeup by Lancome

Julia Roberts had a fresh and pretty makeup look for the Golden Globes.

67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

Celebrity makeup artist Genevieve created her look:

First, Genevieve applied Lancôme Bienfait Multi Vital Teinté to Julia’s flawless complexion. Just a hint of color was applied to the cheeks with Lancôme Color Design Cream Blush in Petticoat Pink. Genevieve used her finger to apply and pressed the color on to Julia’s cheeks. To create a dramatic eye, Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony was used. Several coats of Lancôme Définicils Pro Mascara in Black created lush, dark lashes. Genevieve opted for a soft natural-looking pout. She applied Lancôme Le Lipstique lip liner in Natural Mauve then coated the lips with Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge in Coquette and topped with Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Hallucination for a high-shine finish.

You can order Lancome at Nordstrom.

Kate Winslet at the Golden Globes: Makeup By Lancome, Hair by Fekkai

Kate Winslet looked a beautiful as ever at the Golden Globes.

Celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey did Lancôme ambassador Kate Winslet’s makeup. Here is how:

Kate’s look was clean and luminous. Armani Luminous Silk Foundation showed off Kate’s naturally beautiful complexion. To create contoured cheekbones, Jillian used Avon Be Blushed in Blushing Nude and highlighted the cheeks with a brightener. Jillian Dempsey For Avon Professional Kohl Eye Liner in Navy played off the midnight hues of Kate’s dress. Several coats of Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara in Excessive Black really made Kate’s eyes pop. For Kate’s matte lip, which she requested, Jillian topped lip liner with Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge in Rich Cashmere for a soft, pretty finish.

For Kate Winslet’s hair, Renato Campora for Frederic Fekkai was inspired by the idea of a glamorous woman leaving her hotel room in a rush. He created a sexy, low chignon with an undone feel and lots of texture. Here is how to get the look:

On wet hair Renato applied FEKKAI COIFF™ STRONG HOLD VOLUME MOUSSE mixed with FEKKAI ADVANCED™ BRILLIANT GLOSSING™ CREAM. These two products together provide the right balance to create a texture that leaves the hair hydrated. With the hair still wet, he created a side part and placed pins curls throughout the entire head and dried the hair with a diffuser. Once the hair was 80 percent dry, he removed the pin curls. Renato used his fingers to produce texture and finished drying the hair with the diffuser. He then applied FEKKAI Salon Technician Color Care™ Anti-Fade Top Coat throughout the hair for shine. Next, he softened the ends by using a curling iron. He then applied the FEKKAI Au Naturel Dry Shampoo all over the head to give the final look some modernity and volume. After that, Renato formed the chignon, by pulling the hair down into a low pony tail; he wrapped the rubber band around once and created a loop with the hair when you take it through the pony tail the second time. Campora used long hair pins to secure the pieces to the side and played with the texture to make the chignon. He left loose pieces in the front to frame and soften the face. This allows the hair in the front to blend with the chignon in the back perfectly, so there is no contrast. Finally, he finished with FEKKAI Full Blown Volume™ Lifting Hairspray and dried with a diffuser to maintain the look.

By the way, Armani foundation is incredible, I can’t recommend it enough. Look for it, along with Lancome and Fekkai items, at Sephora.com.

Tina Fey’s Golden Globe Look By Lancome

Lancome did the Golden Globe makeup for Tina Fey. I love this look, and by the way, I also really appreciate the stars who carried their own umbrellas!

Tina Fey Golden Globes, Photo by: Galaxy/starmaxinc.com 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1/17/10 Tina Fey at the 67th Annu

Here is how to get the look:

Tina Fey was made up by celebrity makeup artist Ana Marie. The inspiration, she says, was Old Hollywood/1950’s with a twist.

Tina’s skin was prepped with Lancôme Secret de Vie Toner (Ana Marie’s favorite!) and moisturized with Bienfait Multi Vital, a combination that keeps the skin looking vibrant all day. Lancôme Absolue Foundation in Pearl evened out Tina’s complexion. Ana Marie applied it with a foundation brush and blended with a damp sponge to make the foundation more transparent. To create a sun-kissed look, Ana Marie layered a cream blush (Lancôme Color Design Creme Blush in Petticoat Pink) with a powder blush (YSL Blush Variation in #18 Coral Sand). Layering the different textures allows for long-lasting color. For the eyes, Ana Marie lined the top and bottom lash line with Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl in Black Coffee and curled the lashes using a Shu Uemura eye lash curler. Lancôme Défincils Waterproof Mascara in Black was applied to create separated, dark lashes. Lips were lined and defined with Le Lipstique in Sheer Natural and filled in with Lancôme Color Fever Shine Lipstick in Tempt Me. For a fresh, glossy finish, Ana Marie used Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Cherry Burst.

I like the soft, yet still glamorous look. Need to shop? Head to Sephora.com.

Daily Beauty Bytes: Stars Without Makeup

It can be nice to know that they look fairly normal sometimes! I’m actually surprised a the number of celebrities with melasma. I notice them from time to time.

Stars without Makeup

See celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Madonna and Jessica Alba au naturale — you won’t even recognize them!

Most of the time when celebrities are photographed, it’s after a team of hairstylists and makeup artists have groomed every inch of them, making them appear flawless (photo retouching helps too). But sometimes we get a snapshot of them without their hair and makeup done and the results are, well, a relief. They’re not perfect, as this gallery shows; in fact, they struggle with the same skin issues — acne, wrinkles — that we all do. Hallelujah! …More
