How-To: Angelina's Makeup at the Golden Globe Awards

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:01:55 -0800

Last night, Angelina Jolie stepped out in a devastating Versace gown and a dazzling smile. Although some of you say you'd like to see Angelina change her look from time to time, the same people admit that she doesn't really have a reason to do so - because she always looks gorgeous on the red carpet.

Makeup artist Mary Burton, working with Lancôme, created last night's look for Angelina. To find out how to recreate it at home, read more.

Face: Apply foundation and concealer where necessary. Use your fingers to dab Lancôme Color Design Blush in Model Mocha on the apples of cheeks.
Eyes: Use a pen eyeliner such as Lancôme Artliner in Noir to define the lash line. Start at the inner corner of the eye, staying close to the lashes, and blend outward. (If you've never used a pen eyeliner, keep the line straight by drawing a series of dots, then connecting them.) Line the outer corner of the lower lash line, too, gently smudging it. Burton used two mascaras - Courbe Virtuôse and Oscillation - to give Angelina's lashes volume and length.
Lips: Angelina's famous lips took center stage with a pale pink, sheer gloss. Burton used Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling.

Trend Alert: Heavily Lined Eyes

BellaSugar — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:37:31 -0700

Heavily lined eyes have been a part of beauty for decades. The trend began in the 60's mod era, and we can see it recreated by Sienna Miller playing Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl. Since then, it's made appearances in the 70's, in bright colors in the 80's and again in black in the 90's. Now in 2007, stars are wearing this look on the red carpet.

Lined eyes make a strong statement and are usually seen in shades of black, gray and slate. You can either create a cat eye with a winged tip, a smoky eye, a smudged rocker look or even create a dramatic and dark lower line with a hint of metallic like we saw for the Fall 2007 Luca Luca Show. Nowadays you can't go wrong with a sexy, heavy eye-and that's the bottom line.

Love It or Hate It: Cannes Angelina Pull Off Red Lipstick?

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 21 May 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Angelina Jolie is back this year at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival looking ravishing as ever. So far we've seen her dolled in a pretty peach gown for the premiere of Inglourious Basterds. I know that she's there supporting Brad, however she's totally stolen the spotlight off of him on the red carpet. Typically, for formal affairs, we see Angelina wearing winged eyeliner in her favourite black kohl shade, with smoky shadow and a nude lip, but last night she opted for daring red lipstick, a defined eye and a neutral face. What do you think of this lipstick look?

BellaSugar — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 16:59:43 -0800

Angelina Jolie doesn't stray too far from her tried-and-true look: black eyeliner, nude lips, and long hair. It's no surprise, then, that she chose her standby look for the Oscars. The earrings, however, add a fun burst of color that makes this look a little more memorable. There's no question that she's beautiful as ever, but do you wish she'd experimented with a different look for the Oscars?

How To: Get Angelina Jolie's Oscars Night Makeup Look

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 07:00:00 -0800

It's been quite the red carpet transformation for Angelina Jolie. Where she once wore jet black vampire-ess hair extensions and harsh, goth makeup, last night she looked like the high profile celebrity, movie star and beauty icon that we've deemed her to be. She wore a gorgeous Elie Saab gown that she paired with beautiful emerald earrings and her hair was coloured a rich brown with touches of golden highlights. Celebrity makeup artist Mary Burton used Lancôme and Shu Uemura cosmetics to create her signature cat-eyes and timeless beauty look.

EYES: To make Angelina's eyes stand out, Mary used Le Crayon Khôl in Noir to her upper and lower lash lines. Next, she added even more eyeliner to the outer corners, to enhance the shape of Angelina’s eyes. Lastly she applied a few coats of Ôscillation Mascara to her upper lashes only.

For even more pictures of Angelina Jolie, and to find out what products were used on her cheeks and lips, read more.

CHEEKS: Mary decided not to overdo Angelina's face with a ton of bronzer or illuminator. Instead, she chose to let her natural radiance shine through and she added a little bit of Shu Uemura's Matte Pink 31 (a soft pink) to her cheekbones for warmth.

LIPS: Lastly, for a shiny and nude pout, Mary applied a generous amount of Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss in Spring Fling to Angelina's famously lush lips.

Six Lipstick Tips From Jillian Dempsey

BellaSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 09:00:11 -0700

You'll know from my So I Married a Makeup Artist quiz that Grey's Anatomy's Patrick Dempsey is married to none other than celebrity makeup artist and Avon Global Creative Director Jillian Dempsey. And yesterday, I sat in on a call featuring the talented lady, who has worked with Kate Winslet on her cherry-lipped Golden Globes look, along with her shimmery-eyed Oscars style, too.

Over the next few months, Avon will be coming out with a few new lip products (more on those later), but first, I've got some tips from Jillian for making your lips stand out. Find out what they are when you read more.

The "it" color: For Spring and Summer, you can't go wrong with a coral shade, or variations of coral, like pink and orange tones. Of course, nudes and naturals are always excellent choices, too.
Follow the line: One of the biggest mistakes women make is creating a hard line with their lip products. "For best results, blend your lip liner with a touch of lip gloss so there are no hard edges showing under your gloss," she says.
Consider the shape: If you have thinner lips, a dark berry tone will only make them look smaller. Go with a neutral tone for fuller looking lips à la Angelina Jolie.
Play up the pout: When applying a lip plumping product, like Avon's new Utra Color Rich Extra Plump Lipstick ($6), "To complement the look, go for wide eyes with lots of black mascara and keep cheeks neutral so lips stand out," advises Jillian.
Sheer genius: Create a sheer effect by using your fingers to dab on your lipstick.
Choosing a shade: When selecting a shade to wear, Jillian looks at both eye color and what the person is wearing as her guide. She also mentions that it's important to wear what makes you feel comfortable, and that most women easily gravitate toward what colors naturally work for them. Call it women's intuition, if you will.

What Red Lipstick Means to Men (and Other Relationshippy Thoughts on Makeup)

BellaSugar — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:02:31 -0800

For Matt Titus and Tamsen Fadal, love is all in a day's work. The married couple offers relationship advice on TV, through their books, and through their Dating Boot Camp. They say that we send romantic signals - or not-so-romantic ones - through our personal style. Read on for their opinions on what your hair and makeup choices might be saying this Valentine's Day.

On a first date, do you recommend lip gloss or lipstick - or neither?
We definitely recommend lipstick, especially Le Metier de Beaute's Colour Core Moisture Stain Lipstick in shades Castello, Paris, and Cannes. Men are drawn to a woman’s mouth, not only because this is where their fantasies start, but hopefully they will also be listening to what the woman has to say. Ever since Angelina Jolie came on the scene, lips have received the lip service they deserve. It sends the signals that you are a true woman, proud of your femininity and confident, especially when a woman wears bright, vibrant colors like red.

Want to know what red lipstick says about you? Just read more.

Can you talk about what messages red lipstick projects?
Red lipstick will definitely make you a man magnet! Lips make all of us think of kissing and since men are such visual creatures, sexy red lips can almost do as much for a man as the kiss itself. It also subconsciously sends the message that you are open to a romantic and passionate relationship.

Any thoughts on makeup choices/signals for women who date women?
Makeup choices can be very much the same, as long the woman is comfortable with it. No matter the sexual preference.

In your work and research, what discoveries regarding beauty/makeup/hair have surprised you with regard to relationships?
With regard to relationships, men love long hair, but not the traditional perfectly coiffed hair so many try to have. Men actually love the tousled, rolled-out-of-bed look, and it’s no wonder that’s the way you look after a long sexy night. Men can’t identify the components of makeup that create the lips that they want to kiss, bite, and touch, they just are drawn to them. The more naturally glamorous a woman can look, the more sensual she becomes to the male eye.

Do you find their observations line up with your experience? (For what it's worth, I definitely get more looks when I wear red lipstick.)
