I absolutely love Scarlett Johansson’s look at the Moet & Chandon “Tribute To Cinema”. The hairdo is old Hollywood glamour done to perfection (yet looks so effortless).

Interview With Tayaba Zehra Jafri The Lead Makeup Artist For Laura Mercier

I met Tayaba Zehra Jafri the lead makeup artist for Laura Mercier backstage at the Pamella Roland Spring 2010 during New York Fashion Week last month. Tayaba was kind enough to give us a sneak peek to the makeup look and to some of her Laura Mercier must-have products she used on models at the Pamella Roland show.

The Show: Pamella Roland Spring 2010 Collection.
The Trend: A luxurious spring time look that is eye focused. There is definitely a strong amount  of smoky eye, but it is a smoldering smoke. A reminiscent of the cat eye bit a little softer.
The Inspiration: The luxury glam makeup of the 50’s and 60’s and the paintings of Georgia Totto O’Keeffe.


 
Tayaba touch up the lids with a highlight of a special product called the VIP to give a little texture. A little bit of corner lashes are added to lift up the eyes. And as the look is eye focused Tayaba kept the cheeks and lips subdued. On cheeks she used Second Skin Cheek Colour in Barely Pink by Laura Mercier. To highlight the cheeks she used Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer by Laura Mercier. To add intensity inside the lashes Tayaba applied Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Liner with a brush. On the lips: HydraTint SPF 15 by Laura Mercier was applied.

Monica Cruz In Elle Spain Magazine October 2009

How hot is Monica Cruz? No, that’s not Penelope Cruz, it’s Monica, her sister. Don’t they look alike? It took me few minutes to realize it wasn’t Penelope. Monica is the ultimate brunette beauty. She almost makes me want to dye my hair brown again! I also love her very black smoky eye, the classic.  Any Thoughts guys?

To get Monica Cruz’ black smoky eye try Magic Kajal Eye Pencil by Givenchy, $21.50. This eye pencil allows you to apply a precise line or a create a smudge or smoky eye effect.

And, what do you think about Monica smoking in photo below? Maybe it’s a cultural thing. It was shot for Spanish Elle, maybe smoking it’s not as big a deal as in the U.S.

Giorgio Armani Beauty’s NEW Smoky Eye

“What is attractive in a woman is a certain self-assuredness… it is in her eyes that one senses her strength” –Giorgio Armani

Fashion and beauty synonymously influence each other. While Spring fashion will be in full swing under the tents in Bryant Park come September, the runways of Fall 2009/Winter 2010 will soon be coming to life! While the beloved black smoky eye is coveted by all women, a new twist was added this year to give it a fresh and just-as-chic look – royal purple! As seen on various runways, the purple smoky eye was paired with both nude and intense lips. For Giorgio Armani’s Fall 2009/Winter 2010 fashion shows, feminine, yet intense smoky eyes with hints of purple and bold red lips ruled the catwalk.

Right on trend, Giorgio Armani Beauty introduces the Eyes to Kill eye shadow palettes in four shades, including Gun Metal Grey – a daring grey center surrounded by gun metal grey wrapped in a royal purple. Tim Quinn, Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Celebrity Makeup Artist, says “Purple is the new black when it comes to smoky eye. It is just as intense as black, but in a more subtle and daring way that still creates the allure of the sexy, smoky eye.”
