Full On 80's Make Up

With all the new color collections that have come out recently nothing has really knocked my socks off, but I love the full-face makeup that designers are leaning towards. Dark eyes and lips? It's nearly scandalous after the beachy, carefree look that's been around the past few years. I'm excited about this trend. It's the only 80's look that I'm really embracing. I am totally going to be rocking the Robert Palmer Girl look on weekends this fall. Can't wait!

5 Worst Looks At The 2009 MTV Movie Awards

Here's my list of complete beauty mistakes from the MTV Movie Awards, in no particular order.

#1: Does Rumer Willis really think it's okay to roll out of bed, pull your hair into a messy ponytail, and then go walk the red carpet? Ugh!

#2: The usually fabulous Megan Fox was sporting a funky hairstyle that look like a slicked back mullet and too-orange foundation. What was she thinking?

#3: The first lipstick I ever wore was an unflattering shade of brick red that looked eerily similar to the one worn by Lauren Conrad. Did I mention I was 10 at the time? What's her excuse?

#4: Has Kristen Stewart ever heard of a brush? I have never seen her without her touseled, unkempt waves. It would be nice to see a sleeker style every once in a while.

#5: It's not the Audrina Patridge looks bad, she just looks so old--she looks like she's in her 40s!

Top 5 at the MTV Movie Awards 2009

I have to admit that I was not overly impressed with the effort some stars put into their look at last night's MTV Movie Awards; however, there were five lovely ladies that really stood out from the rest.

#1: Paris Hilton finally pulled off a glamorous vintage look without appearing like an over-the-top cartoon character. I was very impressed. Let's hope she keeps this up!



#2: I have yet to see Leighton Meester look bad. She has amazing style and beautiful features, and her smokey eyes and bronze cheeks look great with her new highlights.


#3: Vanessa Hudgens usually has the same look--monochromatic skin and lips paired with smokey eyes. Somehow she always manages to keep it looking fresh and young. I love it, though I wouldn't mind seeing her try something new every now and again.


#4: Ashley Tisdale had never looked so beautiful. My jaw literally dropped when I saw her. She's not trying to hard, but still looks pulled together and chic. And how does she get her hair that shiny? I'm so jealous!


#5: I'm not a Sienna Miller fan, but she really hit this one out of the ballpark. Her understated look plays up her dewy skin, and the loose waves are the perfect compliment for her Southern California glamour.

Drew Barrymore's Hitchcock Appeal

Drew Barrymore's look last night at the Grey Gardens premiere is both a Hit and a Miss for me. I love her makeup--very Hitchcock-esque. Her smooth, glowy skin makes the cat-eyed eyeliner really pop. Even her hair is going to for the cool, Ice Queen blonde Hitchcock's heroines were famous for, a la Tippi Hedren in The Birds, but falls short as far as I'm concerned. It seems a little too contrived, as if she's trying too hard. Her hairstylist went completely overboard on the hairspray--that hair wouldn't move in a windstorm.
