Hot Makeup Alert: Eva Mendes at Comic Con 2010
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
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.

The Iron Man 2 World Premiere was held in Hollywood on April 28th and Scarlett Johansson was looking hot! I have to admit that I’m not her biggest fan but her makeup was flawless!! The look was clean but still super glamorous, my favorite:) Her cheekbones and eyebrows are sculpted to perfection and the highlights on her cheekbone are gorgeous. Love it!
What Do You Think? Love it? Hate it?
2010 Oscars: Red Carpet Makeup
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.

Academy Awards 2010 Best Makeup Nominees
IL Divo, Star Trek and The Young Victoria Compete for Best Makeup
So many important awards are easily overlooked each year at the Oscars. We all want to know who is going to win Best Actress, or which film earns the coveted title of Best Picture. While I do understand it’s easiest for us to relate to the celebrities on screen, there would be no movie without the crew, costumers and of course makeup artists behind the scenes. Naturally, the “Best Achievement in Makeup” has always been the award I look forward to the most.
Tomorrow, three Makeup Departments will be up for the golden statue. Take a minute to learn a little about each one before the big show!!
The Young Victoria starring Emily Blunt is one of the three films nominated for Best Makeup Already a BAFTA winner, this film appears to be the one to beat. Jenny Shircore, the film’s Makeup Department Head, has also won an Academy Award for the movie Elizabeth in 1998. She seems to be a master of period films and always keeps the makeup very authentic to it’s time.
.
Barney Burman, Joel Harlow and Mindy Hall are nominated for their makeup in last year’s Star Trek. This is the first Oscar nomination for all three artists! I must say, Spock’s skin and eyebrows (above) look divine 
.
Makeup artists Aldo Signoretti and Vittorio Sodano transformed actor Toni Servillo into former Italian Prime Minister, Giulio Andreotti in Il Divo. Both makeup artists were nominated in 2006 for Apocalypto and Vittorio Sodano was nominated in 2001′s Moulin Rouge.
So who will the Academy Award go to? Be sure to watch tomorrow, March 7, 2010 on ABC.

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.
Golden Globes Beauty Round-up
A Look Into the Makeup At the Globes
Courtney Cox looked amazing last night at the Golden Globes! Her makeup artist, Genevieve, gave the Cougar Town actress a grey and black smoky eye paired with nude lips. She used Lancome’s Color Design Lip Color in “Pale Lip” to create Courtney’s neutral pout. Can you believe she’s 45??
Kate Hudson never needs much makeup in order to look gorgeous! For this look, her makeup artist, Leslie Lopez, kept the eyes and lips very clean which looked amazing against her white Marchesa gown. Her waterline is rimmed with black pencil and her frosty peach lips are Chanel’s Aqualumiere Sheer Lipcolor in Malta.
Olivia Wilde wore one of the smokiest eyes of the night but it totally worked with her metallic Calvin Klein dress. Her eyeshadow is an earthy sand color, brought out into a sharp cat eye. Her eyes are rimmed all the way around with black pencil and the look is topped of with a hot set of false lashes.
Didn’t Jennifer Aniston look fabulous last night!? I love her bronzed skin, and peach lips; the whole look compliments her so well! She is wearing a little bit more of a smokey eye than she usually does, and she pulls it off perfectly!
When Christina Aguilera hits the red carpet, you never know what to expect! She definitely is not shy when it comes to makeup, but her look last night was surprisingly subdued. Her makeup artist for the night was Kristofer Buckle for NARS. Her eyes were a shimmery walnut brown, smokey but still soft. Her mauve lips are lined with NARS’ Fantasia lipliner, filled in with Niagara lipstick and topped off with Easy Lover lipgloss.
Mo’Nique’s makeup was so clean and glowy last night, she definitely looked like a Golden Globe winner! Her makeup artist, Sam Fine, kept the whole look very neutral but still beautiful and fresh. She was given long wispy false lashes (#747L from Image Exclusives in LA) and a blush colored, nude lip.
Kate Winslet always looks phenomenal at these award shows! Her makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, created a super clean, flawless look for the actress. She carefully contoured Kate’s cheekbones, and used a navy eyeliner on her eyes. Kate’s flushed cheeks are Avon’s Blushing Nude and her lips are Lancome’s L’Absolu Rouge in Rich Cashmere.
Scott Barnes is the makeup artist that put Jennifer Lopez’ bronzed, glowy skin on the map, so it’s no suprise that he was responsible for Penelope Cruz’ beautiful golden glow last night! He used a burgundy eyeshadow, jet black liner and mascara, a nude lip, and of course loads of bronzer! Her body was coated in Barnes’ own product, Body Bling.
