Halloween Face of the Day

Even though I don't have fun plans this Halloween (aside from cheering on my Phillies in Game 3 of the World Series), I decided to have a little fun with my makeup. Here's the recipe:

1) Apply Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation Primer to moisturized face
2) Apply Make Up For Ever HD Foundation using the Beautyblender sponge
3) Using short strokes, use Diorshow Brow Styler to fill in brows
4) Apply Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Original) to entire lid and to under lower lash line
5) Using MAC 242 Shader Brush, apply a nude, matte eyeshadow (one that matches your eyelid) to lid - from lash line to brow bone; I used MAC Soft Brown
6) Line the top inner rim of the eye with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero
7) Using Zero Eye Pencil, line the upper lash line - curving the line at the outer corner - to create a "cat eye"
8) Using Stila #7 Precision Crease Brush, apply the darker shade from MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Midnight Madness to the crease and outer corner of the eye
9) Blend the eyelid using MAC 217 Blending Brush
10) Using MAC 266 Small Angle Brush, line the lower lash line with MAC Paint Pot in Delft
11) Apply MAC Pigment in Teal on top of the Paint Pot line, using MAC 219 Pencil Brush
12) Blend the lower lash line using MAC 217 Blending Brush
13) Coat upper lashes with Lancome Hypnôse Drama Mascara in Excessive Black

14) Apply MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Cheeky Bronze to cheekbones using EcoTools Bamboo Powder Brush
15) Apply Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss Stick in Nude Almond to lips
16) Apply MAC Dazzleglass in Phiff! on top of lipstick

Happy Halloween! Go Phillies!

PS - Just in case you were wondering...yes, I'm wearing the H&M beret I raved about the other day.

PPS - If you have a pic of your Halloween makeup, I'd love to see it and , possibly, post it. Email me.

Alicia Keys World Series Makeup

To get the ball rolling for Game Two of the World Series in the Bronx, Alicia Keys stepped up to the plate with Jay-Z, hitting it out of the park with an "Empire State of Mind" tribute to New York and the Yankees.

Ashunta says, "The inspiration behind Alicia’s look was retro 1980s hip hop Harlem meets Brooklyn – when matching lip color to clothing color was very popular. The eyes were smoldering and the skin bronzed to accent the amazing lip color."

Celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff created a glam look for the superstar which she achieved with the help of some favorite Mary Kay products. To create Alicia’s all-star look, Ashunta Sheriff used:

* Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer in Beige 2 and Mary Kay Concealer in Beige 2 to get Alicia’s beautiful face looking flawless
* Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Bold Berry and Mary Kay Mineral Bronzing Powder in Dessert Sun to give Alicia’s cheeks a glowing, natural look
* Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Pink Melon and Mary Kay NouriShine Lip Gloss in Pink Diamonds to attain the desired effect on the focal point of the entire look – Alicia’s lips
* Mary Kay Mineral Eye Color in Raisin on Alicia’s eyes to help accentuate Alicia’s stunning features and natural beauty

The overall affect was a hip hop beauty home run.

Taraji P. Henson Should Fire Her Makeup Artist

It's rare that I see Taraji P. Henson looking less than on point. So I was befuddled when I saw this recent photo from the 13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala.

Taraji needs to fire her makeup artist, stat, for letting her leave the house without wiping away the excess powder under her eyes. Of course, some of the blame lies with Taraji, for not consulting a mirror before walking the red carpet.

Lipstick on your teeth, I can understand. But there is no excuse for a makeup mistake like this.

Best Beret

Every time it gets just a little bit chilly, I rock this knit beret. And every time it's on my head, I get stopped by strangers - asking me where they can go buy their own.

Since I'm sharing my shopping secrets with just about everyone who crosses my path, I thought I might as well post on here too. The hat is from H&M, it comes in black and magenta, and it cost around $6.

I own about 20 berets (Mama Spoiled Pretty is a fan too, and introduced me to them at age 4) - and this one is, by far, my favorite. Its chic slouchiness instantly transforms me into a hipper version of myself.

Required Reading: People Style Watch

Have I told you lately that I love People Style Watch?

At the end of every month, I anxiously scour bookstores and newsstands in search of the latest issue. Don't get me wrong, I love Vogue and Elle...but once in a while, I want to flip through the pages of a magazine and see some clothes that I can actually afford.

People Style Watch is, basically, a shopping guide to beauty, fashion and celebrity style. They spotlight the trends that celebrities are wearing, buying and loving right now and make it easy for readers to get the looks.

The November 2009 issue is so chock full of zippers, leopard print, grommets, chains and studs that I almost lost my damn mind. I'm seriously considering hiding my Visa card from myself, in a feeble attempt to protect my bank account.

Jennifer Aniston's rep bestreitet sie Gastgeber einer Talkshow für Netzwerk Oprah's

Der Geist des kreativen Journalismus noch am Leben ist und gut in der britischen Boulevardpresse. Gestern London Express Zeitung berichtete, dass Jennifer Aniston werde ihre eigene wöchentliche Talk-Show auf neue Netzwerk Oprah's host. Warum in der Welt würde eine einigermaßen erfolgreiche Schauspielerin do something like that? Nun, weil sie unbedingt will, war die kreative natürliche Reaktion. Ich meine, wer würde das nicht wollen, ihre Karriere nach unten mehrere Kerben zu ergreifen? Oh, und das Geld war keine Rolle, da sie nicht brauchen.



Aniston hat zugestimmt, eine wöchentliche Show für neue Kabel Oprah's Channel, PWN, wenn es endlich startet irgendwann im nächsten Jahr zu tun, nach einem Bericht über das Wochenende. Während die Idee der ehemaligen "Friends"-Star legte ihre berufliche Laufbahn zu halten, um eine wöchentliche Show-Host-Kabel unwahrscheinlich erscheint auf den ersten Blick, so der Bericht im Express Londoner Zeitung, dass Aniston mit der Idee der Darsteller auf ihre eigene Talk-Show getragen wird.



Gehalt wäre nicht ein Faktor für die Schauspielerin, die $ 5-7 Millionen einen Film verdient, so der Bericht. "Sie tut dies aus einem einzigen Grund: sie will unbedingt zu tun haben", zitiert die Zeitung eine Quelle "in der Nähe des umzugehen." Es scheint, dass Aniston, 40, zu duplizieren, was sie letzten Monat konnte man als Gast auf die Bedürfnisse Chelsea Handler Show "Chelsea Lately", auf der E! Kanal.

[Von Fox News]

Ein kleiner Fehler im Plan: es ist alles Humbug ist. Ich werde warten, während Sie Ihre gemeinsame Backen Abholung vom Boden ab. Ich kann nicht glauben, Jennifer Aniston vergehen, bis so ein lukratives Angebot peinlich. Wie kurzsichtig. [Bitte beachten Sie die sarkastisch].

Jennifer Aniston ist wieder in TV, ihr tellsUsmagazine.com rep.

Berichte behauptet der Stern, 40, vereinbart, eine wöchentliche Talk-Show für neue Kabel Oprah Winfrey's Channel-Host sind "absolut falsch", sie sagt uns, rep.

Ein Sprecher für eigene, den Oprah Winfrey Network, bestritt auch den Bericht.

"Allein ist nicht in Gesprächen mit Jennifer Aniston auf eine wöchentliche Talkshow-Moderator, sagte der Sprecher sagt.



[Von Us Weekly]

Unter Berücksichtigung aller Wiederholungen zu tun ist, dementieren (muss der bequemste Job überhaupt, du bist zu zahlen überhöhte Gebühren zu sagen "nein"), kann ich normalerweise nicht viel gebracht hat, was sie zu sagen. Aber da war ein absolut unglaubwürdig - und etwas peinlich - Geschichte aus dem get-go, bin ich mit rep Jen's go. So viel wie ich bin sicher, dass sie danach strebt, ist der nächste Bonnie Hunt, wird ihre Träume zu warten.

Weil er kümmert sich um die Gesundheit seiner Tochter so sehr, er will immer noch dafür sorgen, dass ihr "Tod" in einem Atemzug genannt wird wie Heath Ledger ist.

Poor Indien. Im Ernst, sind die Indianer nicht gehen zu wissen, was ihnen als Hurrikan Crackhead kommt in die Stadt. Sie werden wollen, Jessica Simpson und ihr BFF Ken Paves noch herum. Und was in Gottes Namen geschieht bei der BBC? Was geknackt-out-Produzent dachte, es wäre eine gute Idee zu haben, Lindsay, ein Teil eines Projektes über ein so ernstes Thema?

Mario Dedivanovic's TWIPs of the Day

My pal, celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, has a great new column over on his blog. Every day, he takes readers to beauty school - sharing ingenious beauty tips and product recommendations.

For a precise and very defined crease, Mario suggests using Sephora's Nano Eyeliner to draw a line right on or under the crease. With a small brush, blend the line going up and/or out. Keep it in place with a touch of translucent powder.

To steal the sexy nude lip Mario gave Kim Kardashian for her birthday, use MAC Ravishing Lipstick, topped with MAC Lipglass in Florabundance.

For natural looking skin, Mario recommends Smashbox Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer.
