Gwenyth Paltrow hit the red carpet in a simple white Tom Ford number which was simply…chic!  My 2nd best dressed of the night.

 
Makeup artist Leslie Lopez for NARS Cosmetics said:
“It’s elegantly bronzed,” said celebrity makeup artist Leslie Lopez for NARS Cosmetics about the red carpet look she created for Gwyneth Paltrow. “The dress makes such a statement, but it also has no color, so we needed to create a makeup look that complemented the dress and was still sophisticated enough for the red carpet. I really loved the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer …

FACE
On her skin I applied Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation blended with a bit of moisturizer, and used LaMer concealer under her eyes. I then set her face with Shu Uemura loose powder.
For a subtle glow, I sweep EYE M GLAM highlighter by Giella Cosmetics onto the cheekbones, bridge of nose and cupids bow, and applied Hot Mama blush by The …

Penelope Cruz

My pick for the night’s best makeup and hair.  Her romantic look was so pretty.  Makeup was simple, a subtle smokey eye and neutral lips.  Her full brows and soft, loose curls just add to the whole look.

Halle Berry

Need I say more?  I mean wow, if I could look like this at 43!  I’m always amazed at her flawless, glowing skin and those amazing cheekbones and no one can work a short pixie cut like Halle.

And look at that back!!!!!!!
Christina Aguilera

It’s nice too see Christina, well, less made up.  …

I’m just not a fan of matching your makeup to your clothes.  Blue shadow, pink lips to match the hues in her dress?  Me no likey.  I think she should’ve lost the eyeshadow, kept the lip color and had her hair in a nice sleek bun would’ve complemented the dress better.

Thoughts?

Dontcha just love Fergie’s darker hair?  Nothing much to her makeup, peachy cheecks and lips and a very subtle smokey eye.

Last night Rihanna hit up the AMAs with some FIERCE eyemakeup.  The focus was all on her eyes while the rest of her face was simple.   She rocked what looks like a reddish shadow smudged on the top and lower lash lines, black winged eyeliner and web-like lashes.  Her lips were a nude color while her cheeks appeared to be lightly buffed with a rosey blush.  I’m assuming her regular makeup artist Mylah Morales created this fabulousness…LUVs it! 

Would you rock colored eyeliner/shadow?

If you’re anything like me, you love a good makeup palette to play with and create different looks.  Most often, my favs are the shadows:  cream ones, sparkly ones, matte ones, sooo much fun.  Holiday limited edition palettes can satisfy any makeup junkie and make great gifts too.  Check out the latest all for under $60.
