Abbie Cornish in CHANEL Beauté

CHANEL worked with makeup artist Jeanine Lobell and starlet Abbie Cornish last night for the CHANEL Tribeca Film Festival Dinner at The Odeon in NYC.

This is how Jeanine created Abbie’s fresh, pretty red carpet look:

“I used CHANEL Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Magic Night, a deep brownish plum, on Abbie’s lids. I lined the top and bottom lashes with CHANEL Eye Definer in Violet Smoke to bring out her gorgeous green eyes. Finally, I applied two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir to really make her eyes pop. I used CHANEL Rose Dust Powder Blush on the apples of her cheeks, and on her lips, CHANEL Rouge Coco in Organdi Rose.”

MAC Opulash

Introducing MAC Opulash mascara ($14 U.S/$16.50 CDN) MAC Cosmetics’ most exciting mascara launch to date! MAC Opulash delivers the sexy, shouldering, fat-lashed volume and curl of the runway to every woman’s realway. A new system delivers extreme root-to-tip volume with a stylish, bouffant-style twist-lots of curl.

Opulash’s extra-large mascara brush gives lashes every opportunity to go fatter. By marrying Opulash’s curling, volumizing formula with a supersize brush, this mascara creates the lash-lover’s dream: intense lay down of product matched with unheard-of root-to tip separation. Its efficiency lies in having a full brush surface with no lash-omitting gaps-and two distinct application modes.

Scarlett Johansson at the Iron Man 2 Premiere

Scarlett Johansson at the Iron Man 2 premiere. Hair by Stylist David Babaii using Morocccanoil hair care products.

Scarlett Johansson’ fresh, softly textured updo, created by leading celebrity stylist David Babaii for the International Premiere of her new film Iron Man 2 looked extraordinary. A perfect complement to the flowing waves and graceful lines of her ice blue Armani Prive dress, the look emphasized a flowing cascade of smooth, well-conditioned waves pulled back into a graceful bun.

Babaii used Argan Oil-infused Moroccanoil products to create the fabulous effect. “I started with wet hair, working in Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream for gentle hold and to create a texture that was soft and smooth. With my hands, I then scrunched her hair and manipulated it to get the desired shape that I was looking for. I also used a diffuser to help shape the curls.

MAC Superglass

These two fabulous lip glosses (seen in image below) are from the NEW MAC Superglass collection. The MAC lip gloss, in general, is probably one of the best lip gloss in the world of makeup. And this new addition called Superglass is like the Bentley of lip glosses. Marta LOVE:)

Jennifer Lopez at the UK Premiere of The Back-Up Plan

Red Carpet Hair: Jennifer Lopez proves to me here that even with a ‘bird’s nest sitting on her hair’ like hairdo she still looks gorgeous. Mind you, I love the look and would love to try this very  “Breakfast at Tifanny’s Audrey Hepburn-esqe” inspired hairstyle myself. I suspect, Jennifer’s hairdo is a more exaggerated version of it and no short bangs.

Jennifer Lopez’s hairdo at the UK premiere of The Back-Up Plan. Do you love?

I also notice that JLO is literally dresses for the occasion and in her press junket trips she is well dressed for the country. In her Paris premiere she was looking very Bridget Bardot and very French.
