AWARD WINNING BEAUTY

Hey dolls, 

How was your weekend. The NYC weather was amazing. Gorgeous, beautiful, and just plain perfect. I had to be at work so I wasn't that happy, but watching the Oscars always lifts up my mood. Anyway, here were my top 3 in overall looks. 

Zoe Saldana

You girlies know about my love for Zoe, but honestly I really thought she looked flawless yesterday. Makeup artist Vera Steinberg did an amazing job on her makeup (as she always does). We're going to get the full deets on her makup look by Vera herself, but until then, Nars posted what Vera used. 



“We wanted to achieve a sexy and sophisticated look while keeping it balanced with her dress. With luminous skin and neutral-glossed lips, I was able to really focus on her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.” 

Zoe Saldana wore the following products to achieve a fresh and luminous effect:

*Orgasm Illuminator
*Enchanted Cream Blush (NEW for Summer 2010; try Gueule de Nuit Cream Blush for a similar effect)
*Lamu Multiple (NEW for Summer 2010; try South Beach Multiple for a similar effect)
*Brousse Duo Eyeshadow
*Nuits Blanches Eyeliner Stylo
*Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
*Love Devotion Lipstick (NEW for Summer 2010; try Casablanca Lipstick for a similar effect)
*Ophelia Lip Gloss


JLO

Funny story about when I saw JLO. I was watching the oscars on my computer screen, and couldn't see the full beauty of her dress so I immediately thought it was very unflattering. But when I watched the oscars on TV,  I couldn't believe that was the same dress. It was probably my favorite dress of the night.  Surprisingly Jlo's makeup was not done by Scott Barnes this time but by Mathew Vanleeuween.


Based on her dress, I wanted to create an ethereal movie-star look. I kept the cheekbones high and highlighted with the NARS Enchanted Cream Blush for a soft and supportive look.” –Matthew Vanleeuween for NARS Cosmetics

Jennifer Lopez wore the following products to achieve a soft, yet radiant look:

*Orgasm Illuminator
*Enchanted Cream Blush (NEW for Summer 2010; try Gueule de Nuit Cream Blush for a similar effect)
*Desire Blush
*Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (NEW for Summer 2010, Available May 1st)
*D. Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow
*Brousse Duo Eyeshadow
*Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
*Cruising Lipstick
*Sweet Dreams Lip Gloss 

Demi Moore
I love Demi since the movie "Ghost." Yesterday she was simply a vision. I guess her young husband does her body good, because I don't ever remember her looking more beautiful. 
Lancome worked their magic on her. 



Products used were:
Celebrity makeup artist Jo Strettell did the beauty honors for  Demi.
For Demi’s complexion, Jo mixed two Giorgio Armani foundations—Luminous Silk Foundation andLasting Silk UV SPF 34 Compact Foundation—and swept YSL Touche Éclat under the eyes and around the nose. 
Lancôme’s Blush Subtil in Rose Fresque, just on the apples of the cheeks, brightened her complexion.Jo created the soft, smoky eye with Lancôme Color Design Eye in Ciel du Soir on the lid and Color Design Eye in Honeymoon as a highlight from right above the lid to the brow bone and on the inner corner of the eyes.
Lancôme’s Le Crayon Khôl in Gris Noir lined the eyes and Jo softened the look by smudging the line.The lashes were curled with a Shu Uemura lash curler, followed by several coats of Lancôme Hypnôse Drama in Excessive Black on the top lashes and Ôscillation Mascara in Black to the lower lashes. 
For Demi’s lips, the combination of Lancôme’s L'Absolu Rouge in Rich Cashmere and Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling created a pretty, nude lip that had just enough pop.

KATE WINSLETT

Kate’s long-time makeup artist, Jillian Dempsey, topped off the look with soft, ethereal makeup. Both the eyes and the lips got equal attention on this Oscar winner. Shimmering, champagne-pewter shades highlighted the eyes, while very saturated mascara delivered that extra definition. A pop of pink blush on her cheeks gave Kate just a hint of a natural flush. Jillian topped off the look with nude-pink lips.
