Celebrities Without Makeup

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

We all look a little wretched in the morning. I mean, come on. You get up, you need coffe, need to brush your teeth, comb you hair and spiff up a bit. Some of us put on makeup before we hit the door because of work etc. As a makeup artist, I see women at their WORST! You know, the before and after thing. So, I was browsing some blogs the other day, and found these pictures that I just had to share. Several famous celebrity women without having their makeup artist guru work their magic on them. I’m sure you will be surprised. Check Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Halle Berry, Britney Spears and more.

Hot Halle Walks the Red Carpet for Perfect Stranger Premier

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Halle arrived at the Premier of Perfect stranger April 10, 2007 at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City looking stunning as usual. A form fitting black minidress complimented her curves and I’m sure she was wearing the requisite Christian Louboutin red soled shoes that celebrities seem to prefer for red carpet appearances. Halle is on a professional role this month, having just received her star just a week ago.

In Honor of Silver and Black

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Well, most of you who read my blog know that I’m so girlie it’s really sick. I’m into the whole makeup, skincare, big hair thing. BUT, I happen to be a huge football fan. Raised on it. With that being said, I’m all Silver & Black. For those of you who are NFL newbies, that spells Raiders. I even got to write a piece for a fellow blogger about my favorite losers. Check out Talking NFL. Now mind you, we really stunk last year. I needed extra therapy coming off of that season. I mean, even my silver and black game day shoes and Raider thong didn’t even help. But this year, I’m optimistic all over again. New day right?

So with that in mind, I’d thought I’d talk about of my few favorite HOT silver and black things.

Makeup

Silver Lining Powder Pencil by Laura Geller is smokin HOT! If you want to look sultry without the drama, this is the pencil to use. It gives depth and definition and brightens the eyes at the same time. I love it.

When I do go for black, it’s Shu Uemura Liquid Eye Liner. Intensely black eye liner with a precise, pointed felt tip. Refillable liquid ink. An industry favorite.

Jewelry
Let me just say anything by David Yurman. Beautiful Silver Ice. His jewelery is comtemporary classic.

Last but not least — Shoes!
All black. Christian Louboutin grown up Mary Jane. Sexy, sexy, sexy. Just like me.

And I’m going on record with saying that I WANTED these shoes loooong before I saw Halle with them on this week.

Silver and Black — HOT! Go Raiders!

Halle Gets Banged!

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I’m a 40+ woman and I think Halle is the bomb. In my book she’s the sexiest woman in Hollywood, hands down. Her body is perfection, her skin is flawless and she is a NATURAL beauty. She definitely hit the jackpot on the gene pool. (Have you seen her mom? YUCK!) Halle hit Hollywood with a cute face, slamming body and short hair. Today she wears her hair longer and most recently added bangs to her look. However, her short hair evolved into a signature look that we all grew to love. Her face matured and her cheek bones became even more prominent. Those beautiful eyes and bright smile are what makes Halle the ideal candidate for short hair. That short pixie hair was at it’s shining best when she won her Oscar in 2002. (She was also married to that idiot Eric Benet at the time.)

And who can forget that signature hair when she emerged on the beach as Jinx in her Bond Girl moment. Or was anyone actually thinking about the hair? I remember my cousin, “OH MY GOD, when that Halle came out of the water, all I could think was DAMN! And I was sitting there with my wife.” Do you think he loved that hair? Maybe it had to to with the fact that plastic surgeons report that she has the number one most requested body. Umm, put me on that list.

Who’s hotter, Halle or Carmen

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Halle Berry and Carmen Electra both graced the red carpet at The 33rd Annual People’s Choice Awards - ArrivalsJanuary 9, 2007 - Shrine Auditorium Los Angeles, California United States.

Halle’s 40, she no longer sports her signature short hari look. Her hair is longer but lord knows she still got it. I’m sure no photo op can compare to her arrival on the beach as Jinx in the James Bond franchise, but this is a woman who has iconic beauty no matter what her style.

Carmen is younger, relies heavily on makeup and artifice to complete her look. But she’s viable for a beauty crown.

So what do you think? Carmen or Halle?
