Cle de Peau Beaute Goes Mod

The latest look by Cle de Peau Beaute reminds me of Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde. I love it! For a new take on the 60s cat-eye look you MUST try the Intensifying Cream Eyeliner--it's fabulous!

How To Do It:

Face-
-Apply Smoothing Base for Line over whole face.
-Apply Cream Foundation over whole face and blending in from the center of the face outward in several circular motions.
-Apply Concealer to dark circles or any imperfections. With the Brilliant Enhancer, two clicks should release enough formula to draw a line from the cheek bone to the temple, draw a line down the bridge of the nose and dot the tip of the chin. Blend in. Apply excess to the inner corner of the eye.
-Apply Cheek Color Duo in Shade 5 to the apples of the cheeks and blend upwards towards the hairline.
-Highlight the cheekbone with the lightest shade of the Cheek Duo by applying the highlight to the top of the cheekbone near the eye.

Eyes-
-Using Eye Color Quad 20 apply shade C, the lightest shade, to the entire eyelid to create a base.
-Apply shade B from the lash line to the crease of the eyelid.
-Apply shade A, the darkest shade, across the lash line.
-For accents, apply shade D, to the crease at the inner corner and to the crease at the outer corner of the eye. Also try Shade 10 or Shade 19.
-Line the eye subtly or dramatically with the Intensifying Cream Eyeliner. Draw a line along the upper lash line from the outer corner to the inner corner of the eye.
-Complete the look by generously applying Volume Mascara in Shade 1 to both upper and lower lashes.

Lips-
-Apply Extra Silky Lipstick 119. Other options are 114 for a berry tint or 112 for a barely there nude.

Jennifer Aniston's Oscar Look

I was not a fan of Jennifer Aniston's funky braid and minimalist make-up; it's cute, but she looked like she was going to the beach, not the Oscars. Aniston's make-up artist, Angela Levin, says "she is the quintessential California glamour girl...She was radiant as always on Oscar night."

How To Do It:

-After moisturizing Jennifer's skin, Levin applied Chanel Lift Lumiere foundation in Beige, concealing undereye circles with the matching concealer.
-Instead of blush, she dabbed Hydrabase lipstick in Coco Red on the apples of Jennifer's cheeks.
-After that, she dotted Sheer Brilliance in Sunkissed around the tops of Jen's cheekbones. (This captures light with a slight shimmer.)
-A bit of powder bronzer gave Jen a sunny glow.
-Levin used Lorac eye shadows in Jade (green) and Serenity (bronze), along with Tina Earnshaw shadow in Aubergine. She closely lined the top and bottom lashes with black eye shadow.
-A coat of Chanel Inimitable mascara in black finished the look.
-On her lips were Chanel's forthcoming Aqualumiere Lipshine in Panarea. Get a similar look with a deep rose, creamy lipstick or Chanel's Aqualumiere in Yucatan.

Kate Winslet's Oscar Look

Kate Winslet looked stunning at the Oscars last night. Make-Up artist Jillian Dempsey did an amazing job keeping her radiant and classic looking. She reminded me of Grace Kelly!

How to do it:
To frame Kate's eyes, Dempsey used Lancôme Modèle Sourcils Brow Groomer in Naturel ($21), playing up their natural shape. Next, Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Eyeshadow Trio in Ice Shimmer ($9) was used on the eyes, and Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Mascara in Black ($9.50) was swept on the lashes. For a neutral, sheer lip, Lancôme Color Fever Shine Lipstick in Old Flame ($25) was applied.

Vanessa Hudgens' Oscar Look

Can you believe how smooth and flawless Vanessa Hudgen's skin was? And I loved her eye make-up. This was one of my favorite looks of the evening. Make-Up artist Karan Mitchell is responsible for her va-va-voom look.

Make-Up How To:
-Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers in Light to Medium to Vanessa’s already radiant skin.
-To set the look and add a hint of shimmer, she then applied Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Blush in in Natural Apricot to the apples of her cheeks, followed by a touch of Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Illuminator.
-To create Vanessa’s soft-smoky eye, Mitchell began by applying Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer for Eyes in Medium underneath the eye to rid of any dark circles, and on the eyelid as an eye-shadow base.
-She then used Nourishing Eye Duo in Fairy Dust, applying the darker shade to the crease and then brushing the accent shade over the entire lid up to the brow bone.
-Finish by applying two coats of Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Carbon Black.
-To complement Vanessa’s darker eye, Mitchell applied a mixture of two pink moisture-infused lip colors – Neutrogena MoistureShine Lipstick SPF 20 in Angel’s Blush and Sheer Luck.

Hair How To:
-Take 2 x 2 inch triangles, lightly saturate the hair with your favorite aerosol hairspray. Comb through the section to make sure hair is evenly distributed. With one hand, take entire section and twist to base.
-Place the FHI Heat 3/4″ Curling iron underneath the section. Take the hair and wind around the FHI Heat 3/4″ Curling iron. Hold for approximately 15 seconds - slide iron out and secure with the FHI Heat T-Rex Clips.
-Complete the entire head in this fashion. Let it all cool and remove clips. Apply approximately 1/2 a dime size of FHI Heat Hot Sauce to hands to emulsify - work through sections gently.
