Looking like the perfect portrait of glam, Christina Aguilera took to the Red Carpet at the 2010 Golden Globes wearing NARS makeup. And boy, was she stunning!

Below is Kristofer’s method for snagging Christina’s look:

• Complexion: Use the Balancing Moisture Lotion and apply the Makeup Primer as a base. Apply Firming Foundation and set with Pressed Powder.
• Eyes: Apply the vanilla side of India Song Duo Eyeshadow as a base, over the entire lid and up to eyebrow. Next, use the shimmering walnut shade of India Song Duo Eyeshadow and apply to the outer corner and under the bottom lash line. Then, use the warm rich brown side of Cordura Duo Eyeshadow just under eye rubbing into the lower lash line to create smokey eye. Curl the eyelashes and apply a coat of Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara to top and bottom lashes, following with 2 coats of Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara for full lashes. Take Nuits Blanches Eyeliner Stylo and dot in between individual lashes [Kristofer’s tip: “I used the Push Eyeliner Brush to blend the eyeliner in between the lashes, which helped to apply just enough without looking to heavy.”]
• Lips: Use the Fantasia Lipliner Pencil and Niagara Lipstick. Next, apply Easy Lover Lip Gloss (NEW for Spring 2010) over [Kristofer’s tip:“Applying a sheer pink gloss on top of a nude colored lip provides a nice modern pop of color.”]
• Cheeks: Generously apply Orgasm Illuminator (NEW for Spring 2010) to cheekbones, décolletage, and shoulders for an all over glow. Use Malaysia Multiple Bronzer to contour cheeks by blending under cheekbones. Apply the Mata Hari Blush to the apple of cheeks and lightly tap on browbone [Kristoper’s tip: “Lightly dusting a blush on the browbone gives life to the eye and melds the whole look together.”] Next, with short, back and forth quick strokes use Nico Blush to highlight cheekbones.

Orgasm Illuminator will be available at Sephora on February 1 and all other NARS Cosmetics are available at NARSCosmetics.com.

Looking gorgeous, as per usual, Julianna Margulies wore NARS makeup on the red carpet at the 67th Golden Globe Awards.

NARS expert, Kristofer Buckle offers his step-by-step tips for achieving her look:

• Complexion: Using fingers apply Orgasm Illuminator (NEW for Spring 2010) down the center of the nose, across cheekbones, and on the apples of the cheeks. Apply Firming Foundation all over face, mixing in with the Orgasm Illuminator. Re-apply Orgasm Illuminator over the entire complexion to encourage shine [Kristofer’s tip: “I used the Flat Concealer Brush to apply the Orgasm Illuminator on top of the foundation creating high gleam.”]
• Eyes: Apply both sides of Cordura Duo Eyeshadow into the crease and all over the eyelid. Dab the sooty dark brown side of Cordura Duo Eyeshadow on the outer part of the eye [Kristofer’s tip: “I love the shimmering iridescent in this eyeshadow. A metallic iridescence softens the smokiness of an eye allowing it to look like it is part of the skin rather than looking gothic.”] Next, use the sable shade from Brousse Duo Eyeshadow and lightly dust under lower lash line. Then, lightly tap Orgasm Illuminator (NEW for Spring 2010) on the inside corner of the eye. Curl the eyelashes and apply Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara.
• Lips: Apply Cruising Lipstick (NEW Spring 2010) Next, layer Ophelia Lip Gloss (NEW Spring 2010) over the lipstick. [Kristofer’s tip: “I love this soft pink, it adds just the right amount of color.”]
• Cheeks: Dust Super Orgasm Blush onto the apples of cheeks.
• Body: Blend Orgasm Illuminator (NEW for Spring 2010) all over neck and décolletage.

Orgasm Illuminator will be available at Sephora on February 1 and all other NARS Cosmetics are available at NARSCosmetics.com.

I fell in love with Marion Cotillard’s flawless look after I saw her in Nine. Her appearance at this year’s Golden Globe’s is no exception. To add some subtlety to her pompadour hairstyle, she opted for soft, pretty makeup. And her look is totally achievable.

Check out how to snag her Red Carpet look in a few easy steps with Smashbox:

• Line eyes with a blue liner. I like Smashbox’s Cream Eye Liner in Picasso
• Apply nude or muted shadow. Check out Smashbox’s Eye Shadow Trio in Multi-Flash
• Add a touch of softness with a cheek highlighter like Smashbox’s Soft Lights in Shimmer.
• Top off the look with a pinkish-nude lip. The best for the job? Smashobox’s Photo Finish Lipstick in Captivating.

For every beautiful gown on the Red Carpet, are often found three hideous gowns. Many of them left me asking, “Why, why, why???”
And many of these, I wanted to love because of who is wearing them. (Ahem…Jayma Mays.) Alas! Here are what I consider to be 5 of the most awful creations on this year’s GG Red Carpet:

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s very possible that there are those of us who still don’t have a costume. And heck, maybe like me, you’ve run into a friend who doesn’t have an idea yet either?

Why not go as the iconic smart-mouthed dynamic duo, Laverne & Shirley?

The outfit is simple enough, and can be created incorporating clothing you may already have in your wardrobe. No, you may not turn heads for being a scantily-clad, and dare I so uber-skanky twosome, but you’re guaranteed to get a, “Hey, it’s Laverne and Shirley!” here and there!

As the summer is winding down, and most likely so are your summer vacation plans, it’s time you start planning ahead for cooler days while looking for a way to unwind. (That’s kind of a pun…I’ll explain when you’re older, if you don’t figure it out by the end of the post.)

Why not try knitting?

Before you go out an over-indulge your need for chunky knits at overpriced department stores, consider this: you can make that yourself!

The Cup of Yarn Scarf Knitting Kit in Very Berry comes equipped with all you need to start your first purl stitch – wooden knitting needles, yarn, and instructions.

Best of all, it’s cheap and arrives in delectable packaging!

Unlike a lot of folks, I don’t hate on Hilary Duff. In fact, out of all of the celebs I witnessed pre-catwalk prepping at the Red Dress Heart Truth Show during NYFW Fall 2009, I was most excited to see Hilary.

So, it goes without saying, that I’m actually kind of looking forwarded to the release of her collection for DKNY Jeans called Femme.
