Get The Look: Bryce Dallas Howard at Hereafter Premiere


On Sunday night, Bryce Dallas Howard stepped out at the Toronto Film Festival for the premiere of Hereafter looking effortlessly gorgeous. Her secret? A natural, flawless look created by star makeup artist Jeanine Lobell. Using Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, Lobell accentuated Bryce’s eyes and completed the look with a natural flush and peachy nude lips. Get Bryce’s red carpet beauty with Lobell’s expert tips:

EYES
Start by using the nude tones in The Essential Eye Shadow Set in Palette #1 to create a subtle sweep of shimmery color. Add contrast by rimming eyes with The Eye Pencil Primatif in Basic Black and coating lashes with The Mascara. Finish the effect by defining brows with The Precision Brow Pencil in Auburn.
FACE
Use fingers to blend The Creamy Glow in Bliss from the apples of cheeks toward the temples, imparting a natural, peachy flush to Bryce’s ivory complexion.
LIPS
Line lips with The Flesh Tone Lip Pencil in Bare, shading inward to give lipstick staying power. Finish by applying the Rouge Hommage in Guilty, a pretty nude to complement Bryce’s deep red hair and accentuated eyes.

Lady Gaga is launching her own fragrance!

Probably picked the wrong week to announce that you’re launching your own fragrance…but whatever works! In the same week that Lady Gaga hit the stage wearing an outfit entirely of meat (on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards), Lady Gaga has announced plans to launch her own fragrance. Let’s hope it smells a bit fresher than she normally looks!

WWD has announced that Lady Gaga has signed a deal with Coty, Inc.. The fragrance, which will be named after the singer, should launch sometime in 2012.

Can’t wait to smell it!

Introducing Kerastase’s New Line, Bain Nutri-Thermique!

Karastase has launched a new line of haircare products, and they are amazing! Introducing their new line, Bain-Nutri-Thermique! I tried these products, and I absolutely adore them.

The purpose of this line is to provide dry or damaged hair with intense nourishment. My hair is definitely on the dry and damaged side, because I dye my hair about every two months. I found that my hair really responded well to these products, and is visibly softer/smoother.

Benefits:

  • Under the effect of heat, dry hair is intensely nourished, durably soft and shiny.
  • Hair is protected from the recurring drying-out process and the harmful effects of heat-styling tools.

Technology:

Step 1: Deep Nutrition. An exclusive complex of nourishing agents operates in the most sensitised areas of the fibre, offering intense nutrition to the hair. Cleanse your hair with Bain Nutri-Thermique’s intense nutrition shampoo. $34.00 Follow with the intense conditioner. $38.00

Step 2: Heat Activation. Heat activates the thermo-reactive formula, trapping the nourishing elements deep inside the hair fibre.

Step 3: Thermic Protection. The heat-activated formula creates a protective film all around the fibre to help prevent dryness.

I have to take some time here to talk about my favorite product of the line. The thermo-reactive intense nutrition masque is out-of-this-world amazing. I’ve used this twice now, and I can literally feel the difference for almost a week. It’s pricey – but let me just say, you get A LOT for your money, and it doesn’t take a lot when you use it. I guess this would last you 6 months. LOOOOVE IT! $60.00
