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

Get Alicia Key’s Red Carpet Look from the 2009 BET Awards
Wonder which makeup Alicia Key was wearing on Red Carpet Look from the 2009 BET Awards and how to get the look? Talking Makeup has the details!
At the 2009 BET Awards, celebrity makeup artist, Ashunta Sheriff, created a Moroccan inspired look for Alicia Keys based on her recent trip for the Mawaline Festival. Ashunta gave Alicia flawless skin and coral lips reminiscent of a Moroccan Paradise.
Ashunta prepped Alicia’s skin with Laura Mercier Mineral Primer, a superfine, lightweight and translucent powder that primes the skin prior to foundation application for an even, mistake-proof surface ($30, available at www.lauramercier.com ).
Madonna in Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Ad Campaign
Just came across Madonna’s latest photo from her Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Ad Campaign. It doesn’t look like Madonna and she appears a bit lifeless, a dall maybe. The only thing that suggests she is somewhat normal is her makeup. And where are Madonna’s nails (Can you see them?) I say, and I take Borat’s words, “Not So Much…”:)
What do you think? Am I right or not? Do you relate to this ad?

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.
Bobbi Brown Nude Collection
I love wearing nude makeup all year around and especially in summer. This is why I’m so excited about Bobbi Brown’s latest nude makeup collection. What’s so great about nude makeup? Well, I can wear it during the day at work all the way into dinner time. It looks clean, soft, and neutral (goes with any outfit). I can’t never get tired of the nude makeup look!
Here the highlights:
Bobbi Brown Nude Eye Palette: Bobbi Brown’s newest take on nude makeup—a concept she created. ‘Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for your skin,’ says Bobbi.
Fall’s must-have eye palette takes you effortlessly from day to night with a sophisticated and universally flattering selection of nude shadows in three different textures: soft matte, lightly pearlized and metallic high-shimmer. Three eyeshadow duos come in a customizable 3-Pan Palette, which can also be filled with your choice of any Bobbi Brown eyeshadow or blush shades. Color duos included are Navajo/Pebble, Chino/Beige Linen Wash and Maple Sugar/Caviar. All shades exclusive to this set. SRP: $60.

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.
