I SPY BETH BENDER BEAUTY

THE GRAMMYS

Seen…Carrie Underwood with an award winning look and another Grammy to add to her collection for “Best Female Country Performance”. Looking gorgeous in her rosy cheeks, strawberry pink lips and smoky eyes.

Our good friend and makeup artist E-jay was backstage doing touch ups and had the pleasure of touching up Miss Underwood. Using his new favorite glam gloss Tallulah from beth bender beauty and Carries too. She was wearing it when she won her Grammy. She told E-Jay she had her smoky eye stencils and eye dust in Ambra with her just in case she needed a quick touch up.

Seen…Beyonce Knowles getting some lip loving backstage with some Chasing the cash Liquid Lip Color. E-Jay was very busy that night and doing what he does best, making women look beautiful. Beyonce was one of the very first celebrities to use the Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil Kit. Her gorgeous Cat eyes are why so many women are using the kit. Also used on Beyonce backstage was some Just Peachy Bronzer which looked absolutely gorgeous, Seen… on camera and in photographs.

Grammy winner Amy Winehouse’s famous Cat eyes made even more famous thanks to her thumbs up on the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit singing via satellite in London. Our friend Carla was on hand for powder and touch ups and left a few extra kits for Amy to have for her purse, house and on the road. She used Reddy Freddy Glam Gloss on Amy’s Lips and a touch of Onyx Gel Eyeliner to set her cat eyes before going on stage. Congratulations to Amy for winning all of those Grammys!! We are so happy for your success and wish you years more.

Seen…Nicole Richie, boyfriend and new daddy Joel Madden and brother Benji at The Entertainment Weekly party. Those two could pass for twins. This new mommy looked just beautiful and glowing from head to toe the way a new mother does when she is as happy as Nicole. Our beauty spies found her in the ladies lounge touching her lips up with some Tallulah high shine gloss. This color has been on everyone’s wish list since we introduced it two weeks ago for spring. Also in her tiny clutch, some Brown Sugar eye dust and Cocoa Gel Eyeliner.

Proenza Schouler Fall 2008

The look at Proenza Schouler was long hair and colbalt blue eyes.  The ever amazing Dick Page led his team of artists who helped to create this very bold and beautiful look.

To get the look, Page first covered the lids with a shimmer cream shadow in gray, then brushed a colbalt blue shadow on top. He then surrounded the eyes with teal shadow and added a touch of silver and gold highlights under each eye.

The lips were done in a beige lip color using Shiseido Automatic Lip Crayon in LC1 and the cheeks and lashes were not touched.

Fantastic!

Doo. Ri Fall 2008

GET THE LOOK: I love this look so much! Makeup Artist Jeff Roose from Nars used a sheer blue shadow on the eyes. Roose wanted the eyes to pop and pop they did. They looked colorful and fresh, without looking overdone. A great color that flatters any skin tone.
INSIDER TIP: To create the eyes yourself make sure to only apply color from the inner corner of eye to the center of the eyelid. Then finish by sweeping a soft gray shade to the outer edge of the eye as seen here on the model. Try Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Island Fever, $32 at Narscosmetics.com.

Need help with your smoky eyes? Beth suggests using the Get in Line Eyeliner Kit, or the Get in Line Travel Stencil Set . Each come with a set of stencils and step by step instructions that show you how to get a smoky eye as seen here.

Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2008 Collection

GET THE LOOK: The makeup for the show was beautiful and who better than Dick Page to create this gorgeous face. Healthy, nourished skin as seen here can take ten years from your face. Page added luminosity and a youthful sheen to the skin by patting a rosy cream stick and focusing on the cheeks. “It catches the light and adds an ephemeral transparency,” says Page.

INSIDER TIP: Page emphasized the importance of only powdering where you really need it, like your forehead and chin and suggested sweeping a translucent powder which is lighter in weight and will let the rest of your face glow.

You can purchase the color stick blush in Rouge Flush used at the show at Sephora.com.

It is a gorgeous color any time of the year.
