Celebrity makeup artist Sandy Linter worked with Michelle Trachtenberg. She accentuated the actress' eyes by first applying Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer 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 Kohl in Black Coffee giving it a smudged effect for a soft contour. To accentuate her eyes even more, Sandy applied Color Design Eye Shadow 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. More after the Jump!

This year's Met Ball was all about the models (the theme was "Model as Muse"),  and we got the low-down on how to get the look of two of the big-name models that attended this year's star-studded affair -- Vanessa Traina and Michelle Aalves. Celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin did supermodel Michelle Alves' pretty, natural makeup. He accentuated her eyes with Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Quad in Haute Sunset, a palette of neutral, peachy and beige shades. To create definition, he lined Alves' eyes with Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl in Noir and added a few coats of Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara in Black. A dusting of Lancôme Blush Subtil in Miel Glace was applied to the apples of her cheeks and Daniel used Color Design Lipstick in Love It and Color Fever Gloss in Rose Jolie to create her high-shine, pink pout. Jump for what went into Vanessa Traina's look! 

Red Carpet Beauty: Jennifer Aniston at the Oscars 2009

by Makeup Artist Angela Levin for CHANEL

Beauty Inspiration:
"When I spoke to Jen before the Oscars, we decided we wanted to create a look that exuded modern glamour. She had just returned from vacation, and she had that relaxed, glowing feeling, which we wanted to display on the red carpet. She is the quintessential California glamour girl, and she was radiant as always on Oscar night." Angela tells us.

Beauty Tip: Angela prepped Jennifer's skin with CHANEL Hydramax + Active Moisture Boost Cream. She then used a foundation brush to apply CHANEL Lift Lumiere Firming and Smoothing Fluid Makeup in Beige all over the face. Under Jennifer's eyes, Angela applied CHANEL Lift Lumiere Smooth and Rejuvinating Eye Contour in Beige Lumiere. Instead of a traditional blush, Angela dabbed a bit of CHANEL Hydrabase Lipstick in Coco Red on the apples of Jennifer's cheeks. She then applied CHANEL Sheer Brilliance in Sunkissed around the tops of her cheekbones, closer to the eye, for a bit of shimmer.

Jennifer's eyes were a combination of LORAC eye shadows in Jade, Black, and Serenity, and a Tina Earnshaw shadow in Aubergine. Her lashes looked extra glamorous thanks to CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir-Black. On Jennifer's lips, Angela used CHANEL Aqualumiere Lipshine in Panarea, available in April. To complete the look, she dusted Soleil Tan de CHANEL Bronzer on Jennifer's skin, an exclusive creation product from CHANEL also launching in April.

Red Carpet Beauty: Lisa Rinna

Is this Raquel Welch?

Why does Lisa Renna look so strange? Her face is as stiff as her hair. And her lips, let's not discuss the lips that she says are natural. Um, yeah, okay.

I don't know why people do this to themselves, do they not own a mirror or have a best friend to say, "stop it, you look crazy!?"?

What do you think, snob or slob?

Red Carpet Beauty: Jessical Biel

| 1 Comment
jessicabielhair.jpgI am so glad Jessica kept her hair youthful and romantic on the red carpet (though I am not sure what she is hiding in her dress). Nothing worse than old lady hair on a hot young star!

To get the look, Frederic Fekkai's Adir Abergel gave us the scoop--

INSPIRATION: A very romantic almost victorian look, sexy and feminine.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK: Start out by applying FEKKAI COIFF BOUFFANT LIFTING & TEXTURIZING SPRAY GEL at the roots combined with some FEKKAI ALL DAY HAIR PLUMP on ends.

After applying the products take the blow drier and hand dry the hair completely getting all of the natural texture to come out.

Follow this by taking a 1" curling iron and curling random pieces. Once finished, pull up half of the hair allowing a few pieces to fall down and frame the face.

Braid two small braids on either side of the temples and pull them back.
To finish the look spray hair with FEKKAI GLOSSING SHEER MISTand FEKKAI SHEER HOLD HAIRSPRAY. THE PRODUCTS ALL BY FEKKAI:
Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel ($23), All Day Hair Plump ($95), Glossing Sheer Shine Mist ($23), Sheer Hold Hairspray ($23)

Crooked Hair

I absolutely loved Marisa Tomei's Versace frock but the crooked hair to match the asymmetry of the dress? Not so good. What do you think-- Snob or Slob?

Red Carpet Beauty: Amy Adams

I am a bit disappointed in Amy Adams' hair tonight, she is so cute and young but her hair is a too pulled back for her face which makes her look pinched.  I do love her make up though, fresh and peachy tones with just a bit of drama in her eyes.  What do you think?
