2010 Golden Globes Beauty: Sofia Vergara

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara was gorgeous at the Golden Globes, dressed in a gown by Carolina Herrera. her hairstyle (created to evoke a Greek goddess with natural ethereal waves ) was created by the one and only celebrity stylist, Oscar Blandi, and i have the scoop on how it was done.



Oscar primed Sofia's wet hair with Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray then blow-dried it, pinning pieces around the crown of her head and the nape of her neck. using a medium barrel curling iron, Oscar created soft waves and finished the look with Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray.

simple, huh? i love it! you can find Oscar Blandi products at sephora.com

2010 Golden Globes Beauty: Jane Krakowski

actress Jane Krakowski looked nothing short of amazing at sunday night's Golden Globes ceremony. her purple one-shoulder gown is one i'd love to wear myself, though i have no clue where i'd wear it, LOL!

here's the breakdown of Jane's look, created by Rebecca Restrepo:

the overall inspiration was old hollywood with a modern twist. she (Jane) wanted a chic and modern beauty look to match the look of her dress. i started by prepping the skin with a light moisturizer, then lightly applied Covergirl Simply Ageless concealer under the eyes using my ring finger followed by Covergirl Simply Ageless Foundation all over the skin with a wet sponge.

i then applied Covergirl Simply Ageless Blush in Plush Peach with my fingers to the apples of her cheeks for a healthy glow and defined cheekbones. to finish the face, i lightly dusted Covergirl Microminerals FInishing Veil to set the look and create a soft shimmer look.

on her eyes, i used Covergirl Eye Enhancers 4-kit in Sheerly Nudes, applying the taupe shade all over the lid and along the lash line to the crease. i then added a touch of the lightest cream shade to the inner corner of the eye for a subtle pop. to add a bit of definition, i applied a gray matte shadow to the crease. for added drama, i lined her eyes with Covergirl Line Exact in black. to finish the eyes, i applied two coats of Covergirl LashBlast Volume followed by two coats of Covergirl LashBlast Length for dramatic, long lashes.

on her lips i applied a shear coat of Covergirl Lipstain in Teasing Blush followed by Covergirl Amazemint Lip Gloss in No Care Bare to soften the lip color and add just a hint of shine.

thanks Rebecca!

2010 Golden Globes Beauty: Drew Barrymore

the 2010 golden Globes were held this past sunday, and while the stars had to battle the rain, they still managed to look gorgeous. Drew Barrymore, who took home the award for best actress in a tv miniseries or movie for her role in Grey Gardens, looked incredibly elegant and oh-so movie star-esque.

makeup artist Debra Ferullo created a makeup look that was simple, yet complimented Drew's dress beautifully.



Debra shares how the look was created:

first, i prepped the skin with moisturizer and then applied Dior Skinflash Primer to set the skin. Drew's skin is so gorgeous that she doesn't need a full face of foundation so i applied DiorSkin Nude Foundation on the cheeks to give her a dewy look and on select spots for natural illumination. lastly, i applied Covergirl Simply Ageless Blush in Plush Peach with my fingers to add a healthy glow and defined cheekbones.

the look for her eyes was a pearly, iridescent, shimmer with just a touch of color. i used Covergirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire. first, i applied the lighter shade to the inner corner of the eye, then the darker shade to the lid for a colorful smoky eye look. tip: use your finger to blend the cream formula for the most control. Drew wanted her lashes to stand out, so i curled them, then applied three coats of Covergirl LashBlast Length Mascara to the top lashes and one coat to the bottom lashes for definition.

For Drew's classic red lip look, i applied Dior Addict Lipstick in Hollywood Rose #753.

she looked fab! thanks Debra!

Salma Hayek at the Golden Globes

Salma Hayek’s makeup look was directly inspired by her dress, and NARS Makeup Artist Matthew Vanleeuwen says, "she chose a very neutral colored dress and wanted to make sure her makeup look would pop. i made her eyes the focus and added a lot of rich, jewel skin tones and fresh color to her cheeks and lips. her look was very classic and chic, with some modern textures."

here's how he created her red-carpet look:

on Salma's eyes:

*China Blue Single Eyeshadow was applied to top and bottom lash line. (Matthew says: "i love using navy colors because they make the whites of the eyes pop.")

*next, using the Corfu Cream Eyeshadow as a base, all over eyelid, the golden champagne side of the Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow was added to the lid. Bengali Single Eyeshadow was used all along the lash line, rubbing it into the lash line, and deepening the outer corner of the eye, creating shading.

*Mathew then curled the eyelashes and applied 2 coats of Black Orchid Mascara on lashes. he then went over top lash line with the Night Clubbing Eyeshadow and used what was left on the brush under the eye to define it. (Matthew says: "this shade is perfect to create a smokey eye-– it gives a rich sparkle at the lash line with undertones of green and gold.")



to give Salma a glowing complexion:

*Mathew used the Brightening Serum on her skin to add a glow and applied Makeup Primer. Firming Foundation was applied and set with Loose Powder.




on Salma's lips:

*Marnie Lipliner Pencil and Tutti Fruity Lipstick were used first, then Boogie Nights and Greek Holiday Lipglosses were mixed and applied over the lipstick.


on Salma's cheeks:

*Desire Blush was applied to the apple of Salma's cheeks (Matthew says, "i use a powder brush to apply blush. i find that a bigger brush makes a much softer wash of color."), then Laguna Bronzer was used with short, back and forth stokes from the back of cheekbone forward, to blend.

2009 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Looks

the Golden Globes red carpet was full of amazing glamorous gowns, beautiful hairstyles and gorgeous makeup. i was so excited to see the looks as i watched from home, and these are a few of my favorite looks of the night...



January Jones stepped out of the 60's and into the 40's with her Golden Globes look. inspired by her dress, her hair was done in fabulous soft waves and her makeup was created to keep the focus on her lips, a pretty tangerine-red.



America Ferrera was nothing close to Ugly in her Oscar De La Renta dress (love...). her makeup was fresh and pretty, showing off her gorgeous skin. loose curls complimented this sweet style.



Kate Beckinsale showed off an amazing figure in this body-hugging gown by J. Mendel. with her hair in a sleek updo, her makeup was kept fresh and glowing. i love her big, bold chandelier earrings that are a huge trend right now.



Tarji P. Henson, also in J.Mendel, took a risk with this gown, and in my humble opinion, looked great! the GG's are a bit less serious than the Oscar's, so it worked. her skin was given a glowing look with soft, skin-complimenting hues and rose-toned lips.




Eva Mendes dazzled in her white Dior gown, loose updo and classic makeup.



Olivia Wilde, in a Reem Acra gown, looked stunning in more of a bold eye makeup look and simple, parted hair that she left down.



Evan Rachel Wood wore a gown by Elie Saab. i love the classic red nails and soft, old hollywood look of her makeup.



Anne Hathaway is already a fashion powerhouse, and she kept her place in my style book with this look. in a gown by Armani Prive, Anne looked ever the part of glamorous movie star, from her Grace Kelly-inspired updo to her elegant and classic makeup.



Jennifer Morrison in Oscar De La Renta was one of the best looks of the night. just look at that amazing dress in that amazing color! nothing about her makeup and hair is overwhelming or trying to compete with her dress, it only compliments it.



Amy Adams also wore Oscar De La Renta and couldn't have looked better. she opted to wear her hair a bit more loose and down her back.
