Hollywood Film Awards 2014- It's All In The Eyes

Once again the awards season is underway! As a makeup artist I LOVE keeping up with the red carpet makeup trends.  Kristen Stewart looked absolutely stunning and I loved her entire look.  Her eyes were the main focus of her ensemble using metallic silver, blues and green which made her eyes pop. Her skin looked flawless and her lip color was simple and neutral. 

Jenna Dewan Tatum is a natural beauty and honestly looks good without a drop of makeup.  For the Hollywood Film Awards she played up her eyes with a smokey bronzes and golds and a rose pink lip color.
 
Reese Witherspoon is a classic beauty.  Her look has matured and it seems that she's playing around more with different makeup looks which I love! For this event, her eyes were the main focus with a thick dark liner and a light smokey eye.  

I would love to know the beauty routines of some of these celebrities.  I'm sure it includes a regular skin care regimen in addition to monthly facials, manicures, pedicures etc.  After all, their image is part of their careers and they have to maintain that image.  In some ways I'm jealous, but on the other hand I wouldn't want the pressure that they must feel on a daily basis to live up to certain expectations.  

I think I'm content with my mommy, wife, makeup artist status.  If I want to go to the store without makeup I will! And guess what? Nobody will care...although I will say that as a makeup artist I do feel like I at least have to put on some lip gloss and fancy sunglasses;)

It's All About The Lips

LORAC PRO Matte Lip Color
Lorac's Pro Matte Lip Pencil in Fuschia  


Lipstick is such an easy and inexpensive way to change up your makeup look! Bright pinks are sticking around this winter which I'm happy about.  One of my favorite new lipsticks are the Lorac Pro Matte Lip Pencils. Don't be fooled by the appearance because this is actually a very pigmented lipstick that goes on creamy and doesn't dry your lips out.  It has some serious staying power as well. Put it on in the morning and you'll be good through lunch.  It you want to change up the look for a more glossy finish then just add some gloss over top.  They come in a wide range of colors from a nude, to a pink and all the way to a deep red.  I want all of them!
