Audrina Patridge at the Los Premios MTV 2009

Audrina Patridge looks smashing at the Los Premios MTV 2009 at the Gibson Amphitheatre last night. I love how she went for these super sexy thigh high boots (which by the way are Marta’s new obsession), but toned it down with an updo. Hair away from Audrina’s face makes the whole look softer and more sophisticated. The Hills star is turning into a gorgeous superstar!

Healthy-looking skin never goes out of style; though darker makeup and matte complexions appeared on the fall 2009 runways clean, glowing faces made their mark too.

Fight Back Against Flakes: Wearing a liquid foundation is a great way to achieve a dewy glow—but if you apply it over dry, flaky skin the results can be less than satisfactory.
