Christina Aguilera Wears NARS Makeup at 2010 Golden Globes!

Beka — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:19:45 +0000

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.

Julianna Margulies in NARS at the 2010 Golden Globes!

Beka — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:13:07 +0000

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.

Get the Look: Marion Cotillard at the 2010 Golden Globes

Beka — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:32:33 +0000

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.

Red Carpet Worst Dressed (So far): 2010 Golden Globes

Beka — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:50:26 +0000

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:

Maria Menounos:

Perrey Reeves:

Jayma Mays:

Diane Kruger:

Carrie Ann Inaba:

Thoughts???

Zac Posen for Target Lookbook Preview

Beka — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 14:07:37 +0000

I don’t know what it is about Zac Posen that I love so much. Maybe it’s how flawlessly he takes classic staples, and roughs them up a bit, without losing any of the pretty. Quite a feat, if you ask me. Unfortunately for my closet, lacking a little magic, ZP has never been within my budget. Until now!

The Zac Posen for Target First Lookbook is now available, thanks to the Fashionista who was among the first to see it and share it.

(Hate to tell you this, but you’ll have to wait until April 25 to get a hold of this drool-worthy collection!)

Want to see the lookbook for yourself? Check out Fashionista’s post here.

More Makeup Mileage!

Beka — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 04:55:22 +0000

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to pamper myself–treat myself like a queen, if you will. (And you’ll probably see me mention my queendom a lot in the future.) Quite frankly, this girl woke up one day and realized she can’t let herself fall by the wayside any longer.

As the saying goes, “When you look good, you feel good.” Well, then one of the best ways to feel like a queen is to look like one. All day! That’s why, I’m making sure my makeup bag is stocked with these essential, long-lasting, won’t-melt-off-even-if-my-day-at-work-did-suck cosmetics:

Givenchy Printed Lips Tinted Look Lip Stainer, $24.50

Why I love it? The felt tip marker makes for a simple and klutz-proof application, and it ensures that my pout is perfectly pink for hours! Plus, and maybe this is a bit of hyperbole here, but I felt like I was having a total out of body experience, catching myself in the mirror to see that it was still ever-present several hours later.

Benefit Stay Don’t Stray, $24

Why I love it? It’s a light-weight primer spray that makes your makeup–eye makeup, concealer, foundation–stay in place! And, it’s jam-packed with vitamins! Vitamins on my face is definitely more fun, then big, horse-pill sized vitamins any day of the week.

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, $20

Why I love it? OK, I was afraid of the concept of waterproof liquid eye liner, too. My hands have a classic case of the shakes, but I found that the tip of this little beauty makes for such a flawless application, and the promise of non-meltdown, was well worth the risk of a little trial and error. Definitely a must-have!

MAKEUP FOREVER HD Microfinish Powder To Go, $15

Why I love it? This talc-free powder makes the perfect topping to the masterpiece that is your face. It’s not heavy or drying. Don’t be fooled, though…this makeup really can pack a punch by holding up to its name. You know, because it’s called…oh, you get it!

All That Glittens is Gold

Beka — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:15:47 +0000

On chilly days, it’s often essential to keep your hands warm, while still being able to function. You know, selecting the right key on your key ring, checking your iPhone, giving the bird to someone who cuts you off in traffic, the usual.

One of the sure fire ways to keep your paws toasty is with glittens, a glove/mitten hybrid. They’re nothing new, but after wearing off the fingers on my old gloves, and feeling like a dejected bear in my mittens, I’ve decided to for a pair of merinos from J Crew:

And if $25 for a pair of gloves is a bit out of your price range, because believe me, it’s more than likely out of mine, you can try an adorably colorful and thrifty alternative, like these from Forever 21:

Now, go grab yourself a hot chocolate!
