CHANEL Introduces Fall 2009 Venice Makeup Collection
CHANEL Introduces Fall 2009 Venice Makeup Collection:
As a city built on water, Venice was a source of great intrigue for Gabrielle Chanel. She saw it as simultaneously dramatic and fragile – qualities she herself possessed. With the imagination of the CHANEL Makeup Studio, Venice comes to life in a palette reflective of the city’s shimmering facades and mosaics, and the sparkling aquatic colours of its lagoons. As seen in the runway looks created by Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, at the 2009/10 Cruise Collection show, held on the beaches of Venice, Italy, rich sienna and deep rose tones, and dusky greys and greens combine for a modern look that can be softened for day or emboldened come evening.
EXCLUSIVE CREATION:
EYE GLOSS LUMINOUS CREAM QUADRA EYE SHADOW Limited Edition

Bobbi Brown interview with Marta Walsh
A year or so ago, I was given an amazing opportunity to interview Bobbi Brown, founder of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. I would love to share my interview with Bobbi with you, just in case you’ve missed it:)
Bobbi Brown is the queen of makeup. Not only has she worked with an endless list of celebrities as a makeup artist, she is also the brilliant mind behind the ever popular Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. Find out what it takes to be Bobbi Brown!
Bobbi Brown
Marta Walsh: When did your interest in makeup begin?
Bobbi Brown: Ever since I was a little girl I was interested in makeup. I used to watch my mother put on her white eye shadow and pale pink lipstick in amazement. When I was young I would paint all of my dolls’ faces with makeup, pretending they were real people.
MW: What was your biggest break as a professional makeup artist?
BB: Landing my first Vogue cover with Naomi Campbell.
MW: How was the concept for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics born?
BB: I wanted to create brown-based lipsticks (10) that actually flattered women’s lips, rather than looking fake and garish.
Jennifer Lopez My Glow Perfume
Created during her pregnancy, Jennifer Lopez’s My Glow fragrance revolves around the angelic dimension of motherhood. Because “Every baby is an angel”, Jennifer Lopez My Glow has an angelic bottle cap: a classic winged angel torso.
The Jennifer Lopez My Glow Perfume ad campaign was shot in September last year by legendary photographer Carter Smith, who also shot her last editorial for ELLE magazine.

Richard Ward Summer 09 Hair Trends
Richard says there’s a soft austerity for Spring Summer 09:
“The Cruise Cut is here. Hair this season is sporty, understated yet confidant, sleek, healthy and ultra-groomed. But this look is also organic and natural. These are statement cuts; preened and perfected, and glossy with health and vibrant and rich with shimmering colour. Feminine and versatile, yet light on product, this is a styled look – with natural movement and refined texture.”
Short hair will be the massive look for 2009, reflecting the challenging economy and the new, more austere climate of the year. There are 2 key looks:
The choppy, textured crop is the ultimate in gamine: As worn by: Victoria Beckham.
An updated 80’s Pixie look, worn layered short all over, hair is cropped short at the nape and around the ears and textured throughout. Product use is light, giving a soft, natural effect – Richard Ward Style Revive Smoothing Polish (£5.49) is perfect; apply by rubbing though palms to warm and patting evenly on to the hair to separate and define.
Long sweeping layers worn with asymmetric fringes over one eye and undercut at the nape and sides: As worn by: Rhianna.
Blake Lively & Evan Rachel Wood:Summer Beauties
Blake Lively is looking effortlessly beautiful at the Swarovski Crystallized Concept store opening in New York City on Thursday (June 25). Blake’s look is also perfect for the summer: blonde highlights-check. Light makeup-check. Tousled wavy hair and not overly straightened-check.
Evan Rachel Wood also attended Swarovski Crystallized Concept store opening in New York City on Thursday (June 25) and passed Talking Makeup’s summer beauty test. Here is why & how: Rachel’s hair is pulled up in the back and is left almost undone for a relaxed summer look. Humidity and heat levels rise in the summer, so it’s OK to pull your hair up for a cool, ‘not trying too hard’ chic look.
NIVEA “Good-bye Cellulite, Hello Bikini Challenge” with Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian, start of E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and Disaster Movie, recently confessed on the cover of a national magazine that she, like millions of women across the country, has cellulite. Although she loves her curves, Kardashian admits, “cellulite is not cute,” so she decided to do something about it.
Kim Kardashian enrolled in the NIVEA “Good-bye Cellulite, Hello Bikini Challenge,” a four-week, holistic program that combines fitness, nutrition, style and skincare with NIVEA Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream and Patches to help women visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite and feel better in their bikinis.
“After taking the four week challenge, I’ve noticed an improvement in the appearance of my cellulite. My energy is up and I feel more confident in my bikini than ever before,” Kardashian said. “It’s been a great way to re-commit myself to my fitness and nutrition goals. I’ve also really enjoyed using the gel-cream and patches. I’m very picky about my creams and this one goes on smoothly and smells great.”
