..::Celeb Beauty Buzz: Beyonce'..Get The Look!::..

I love how Beyonce rocks this fresh, yet slightly dramatic look! Not too much going on, but just enough to bring out her features!

How can you achieve this look? Keep reading!

*Start off by making sure you have a well-groomed brow! A good brow sets the tone for any look.

*Apply you favorite foundation! For this look you'll want a fresh looking, light to medium coverage foundation, and be sure to conceal if you need to. I recommend MAC Studio Fix Fluid or Revlon ColorStay Liquid foundations.

*For the eyes, you want a nice deep, plum eyeshadow with a little shimmer, as well as a dark brown shadow. You could apply MAC's "Plum Dressing" eyeshadow on the lid, and smudge CoverGirl's Eye Enhancer shadow in "Brown Smolder" on the bottom lash line and line with a dark brown eyeliner pencil. Apply CoverGirl's Eye Enhancer shadow in "Champagne" to the inner corners of the eye to brighten up the eye area! Accentuate lashes with your favorite mascara. Mine is CoverGirl LashBlast!

*Add a nice peachy, rose blush to the cheeks. Choose your fave! I like to use MAC's "Posey" Blushcreme. It brings a nice, dewy, natural pop of color to the face!

*For this look, the lips are a nice neutral shade of pink with a touch of glossy shimmer. An affordable yet AWESOME product that you could use to achieve this is Milani's "Summer Baby" Crystal Gloss. Line lips with a medium brown pencil prior to applying the gloss if you want =0)

*Last step: Spritz your face with a finishing mist to add a little dewyness to the skin and to also set your makeup! I use MAC's Fix+.

..::NARS Fall 2010 Collection Preview::..

Aaaaaah yes...... The NARS Fall 2010 Collection.....what can I say...absolutely STUNNING!

I can honestly say, I am never really disappointed by NARS products..not saying that I have tried everything, but everything that I have purchased has bought me such joy lol..

NARS offers some of the most beautiful, vibrant, pigmented, high quality products in the cosmetic industry. It's one of my go-to brands for a client and for myself.

The whole fall collection is awesome but I wanted to point out my 3 faves that I have actually tried:

1) I can't even begin to tell you how vibrant and GORGEOUS this shadow is...if you love a nice purple eyeshadow like me..GET THIS NOW!




"Style icon. Designer. Model. Heiress of haute couture. Named after Daphne Guinness, this hypnotizing, deep-violet eyeshadow exudes excitement. Use across lids up to the brow, blending outward." (NARS Website Description)

2) This blush adds just a hint of color that's flirty and soft. Great for contouring!




"A soft pink-brown hue imparts a honeyed brown kiss of innocence on cheeks. Exclusive for Fall, the powder is laser etched with our logo. Use to contour the cheek or warm forehead, jaw line and nose." (NARS website description)







3) This duo is SO pretty and you can do some really soft, romantic looks with it, or you can edge it out and make it smokey. This duo is super versatile and looks great on all skin tones!



"Love, sex and power. Russia’s empresses had it all. Inspired by royalty, the Eyeshadow Duo pairs the majesty of platinum gold infused with silver reflections with a bold, steel grey. Swipe and shadow along the upper lid or smudge along the lower. Positively regal." (NARS website description)

..::Fall 2010 Beauty Trend Alert: "The Statement Lip"::..

As a makeup artist, it's very important for me to keep up with the latest trends so that I can better serve my clients. Therefore I am always looking at magazines, television shows, award shows, fashion shows, etc..to see what trends are in.

This fall I am noticing that the IN thing right now is a subtle eye, and a moody mouth. Berries, mauves, reds, and deep pinks on the lips. Pops of color on the lips makes a BOLD statement...great for this season!

Check out the stars who have owned this look in recent weeks..bringing us right into the fall!

Jessica Alba is stunning with chestnut/golden tones on the eye, light blush and deep red lips. CLASSIC!

Beyonce looks gorgeous in a nude eye color, winged liner, soft pink blush and bold, coral/pink lips! Love this!

This look is soft and romantic. Ashley Greene rocks a soft, mauve color on the eyes, soft blush and a bold fuchsia lip! Since the eyes were toned down..that pop of color on the lips balances out the look.
I adore this look on Whitney Port! This look is classic with a touch a sophistication. She glows with a fresh, flawless face..nude eye, light on the liner, soft blush and bold red lips...LOVE!

Michelle Trachtenberg rocks a fresh, dewy face here..lots of mascara, soft berry blush and dark berry lip. This look is gorgeous and classic.

This look is flirty, fun and SO Rihanna! She sports a touch of bright pink on the eyes, soft pink blush and a bright, bold red lip. FIERCE!!
