Lauren Conrad Book Signing:How To Get The Look

mark spokeswoman Lauren Conrad has made her mark on the world, and this time she’s doing it with the launch of her new book LA Candy! Lauren looked fresh at her first book signing at the Grove in LA for the 1,000 plus fans that waited over 8 hours for the chance to see her! Her celebrity makeup artist Amy Nadine tells us how she achieved Lauren’s radiant look for this exciting event for her fans.

 Amy Nadine Explains How She Created Lauren’s Glowing look:

Eyes: “For Lauren’s fresh look, I swept mark I-Glimmer Illuminating Eye Color in Polished across her entire eye lid, then lined her top lash line with mark On the Edge Hook-Up Liquid Liner in Cleo and finished by coating her lashes in mark Scanda-Lash Hook-Up Mascara in Blacklash.”

Face: “Lauren and I wanted to create a look that was still her signature style with even more sophistication as an author. We applied mark Get A Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion in Buff/Natural and highlighted under her eyes and above her cheekbones with mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter in Light/Medium. To create her California glow, I used mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Glow under her cheekbones, temples, along her hairline and under her jawline, then dusted the apples of her cheeks with mark Good Glowing Mosaic Blush in Chica.”

Lips: “I finished the look with mark Chic Duet Color and Shine Lip Gloss in Halo Baby.”

To see Lauren in action in NYC, come to her next book signing tomorrow, June 18th at the Barnes & Noble in Tribeca from 7:00 – 9:00 PM!

Lancôme Inside Scoop: 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards!

Who was wearing Lancôme at the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards last night? Here is the inside scoop on last night’s makeup looks straight from the makeup artists themselves.

Celebrity makeup artist Sandy Linter worked with Michelle Trachtenberg. She accentuated the eyes by first applying Effacernes Waterproof Concealer in Porcelaine I as a shadow base, under eye base and skin corrector giving Michelle a silky soft complexion. Sandy then lined her eyes with Le Crayon Khôl in Black Coffee giving it a smudged effect for a soft contour. To accentuate her eyes even more, Sandy applied Color Design Eyeshadow in Click for a smoky look and Bikini Golden on the inside. She then coated Michelle’s eyelashes with Ôscillation vibrating mascara to give them an extended effect and finish the look.

Blake Lively at 2009 CFDA Awards in Neon Pink Dress

Blake Lively was spotted at the 2009 CFDA Awards last night wearing a pink neon dress. I suspect neon is the latest style trend. My family from England visited me with neon green shirts, which made me laugh hysterically when I saw them. They told me that neon was quite in-style back home. Looks like fashion travels quicker in the UK. Who knew? lol.

Pop Beauty Lid Neon: The kit contains six super bright neon eye shades in Pretty Pink, Ripe Orange, Juicy Yellow, Bright Blue, Pastel Turquoise, and Apple Green and a duo applicator to make your eyes POP! Instructions and application tips and tricks are printed on the inside lid to make it easy to use.

Catherine Zeta-Jones: How to Get the Look

David Babaii’s Hair How-To: Catherine Zeta-Jones at 37th AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards!

After gently towel-drying her hair to remove excess water, I warmed a small amount of Hair Polish in the palms of my hands before applying it through the hair. I’ve found warming this product actually boosts its ability to seal the cuticle, while repairing and strengthening each strand. Not to mention the shine!

Next, I dried her hair using my David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment and a large round brush to smooth hair straight. Try to avoid any metal coated brushes. These brushes only generate unnecessary heat and will cause hair to be baked not dried. I sectioned her hair first: top, sides and back. To begin, I started by drying the nape area first and then proceeded until her entire head was dry.

How To Transform Your Look by Marta Walsh

I have two beauty tips that will save you money and also will transform your look.

1. Lighten your eyebrows: Lightening your eyebrows whether with a light eyebrow pencil 2 shades lighter than your natural eyebrows or even using a bleach can make a huge difference to your look. When I say huge, I mean an instant makeover. Lighter eyebrows give you a much softer look and accentuate your eyes. 

 Celebrities that I suspect to lighten their eyebrows include: Oprah, Tyra Banks, IMAN, Jennifer Lopez, Vanessa Williams, and recently I’ve even noticed Rachel Rey. Yup:)


Blonde highlights and lighter eyebrows transformed Jennifer Lopez into a superstar

Anastasia Beverly Hills is amazing for anything to do with brows, so look out for their tinted brow gels and brow pencils. I love  Anastasia Beverly Hills Duo Brow Wand (a new powder featuring a dual-sided applicator with Brunette and Ash Blonde Brow Powders).

Hair Trends: Masculine Feminine

According to Redken: One of the hair trends for Fall/Winter 2009 is a Masculine Feminine, a chic pairing of tough and soft. Think of it as dual personality hair: Classically feminine styles toughened up with a silk finish, or a mixture of sleek and soft textures on the same head of hair.

The Masculine Feminine hair style was seen on the runway at: Alberta Ferretti. Jean Paul Gaultier. Lanvin. Marc Jacobs. Miu Miu. Roberto Cavalli. Versace.

Celebrity that comes in mind with this Masculine Feminine hair trend is Rihanna and her style at the MET Costume Institute Gala Benefit 2009.

Summer Hair: Think Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston’s hair should be in the hall of fame of hair of all time.

I love the way Jennifer’s hair is styled in this photo taken at Hyatt Regency Hotel Friday night for Women in Film’s Annual Crystal and Lucy Awards.

In the summer time think Jennifer Aniston, lighten up! Add some blonde highlights, and get cool beachy waves.
