..::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+.

..::Celeb Beauty Buzz: Lea Michele (Look Recreated)::..

So i did a post last week giving a step by step guide on how to create a look that I saw on "Glee" actress Lea Michele. I absolutely LOVED her makeup! It's such a simple, and fresh looking, yet glamourous look. I decided to try this look out on myself!

Here is the pic of Lea Michele.

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

Today's Celeb Beauty Buzz will be featuring Lea Michele of FOX's hit TV show "Glee". This look is fresh, flawless and seemingly effortless!

How can you achieve this look? Keep reading!

Step 1: Start of with a light to medium coverage foundation like MAC's Studio Fix Fluid or Revlon ColorStay (either the Combination/Oily formula or the Dry Skin formula, depending on your skin type). Apply with your choice of brush or cosmetic sponge (Tip: Be careful with sponges and liquid foundations. The sponge will sometimes absorb too much of the product!)

Step 2: Apply just a sweep of neutral eyeshadow to the lid. With a fluffy shader brush or blending brush apply a shadow like CoverGirl's Eye Enhancer in "Tapestry Taupe" to the lid and a little of a lighter shadow to the inner tear duct area to brighten up the eye. CoverGirl's Eye Enhancer in "Champagne" would be great for that!

Step 3: LOTS of Mascara!! Apply 2 or 3 coats or Dark Brown or Black mascara to the top and bottom lashes. For this simple look, bold lashes would look great! Try CoverGirl's LashBlast Fusion Mascara or Dior DiorShow Mascara for good length and volume. (Tip: If you choose you can also apply a little eyeliner with this look, but since this is a more natural look, the mascara may be enough!)

Step 4: For the cheeks, a warm, natural bronzer would do the trick! Try CoverGirl's TRUblend Mineral Bronzer in "Natural Bronze". WIth a blush brush, sweep the bronzer from the apples of the cheeks and upward to the temples.

Step 5: Add just a pinch of natural color to the lips. A pale pink, light peach or nude color would be ideal. Line lips with your choice of neutral lip liners. I suggest MAC's "Subculture" Lip Pencil or NYX's Lip Pencil is "Latte", "Natural" or "Nude Beige". Then add your lip color. Try a lipstick or gloss with a more of a lustre or matte finish. MAC's "Half 'n Half", "Jubilee", or "Ramblin' Rose" lipsticks are all great shades. For a more affordable alternative, Wet 'n Wild's "Bare it all", "Sand Storm" or "Just Peachy" lipsticks are awesome (and they're only like 2 bucks!). Just add your fave nude gloss on top!

Step 6: To pretty up the eye brows, add your fave brow gel. My favorite is Ardell Brow Scultping Gel in Clear. This really defines and contours the brows and gives a great finish to your look!

Try this look out yourself! Send me pics and a list of products you used to achieve your look! I will post the top 3 on my blog! Send here... NitaJ.MUA@gmail.com
