Hair was up and away from the face on many celebrities at this years Oscars, but the makeup was a different story. Rachel McAdam’s decided to go for pastel smoky eyes, and compliment the cool colors of her gown. Not so easy to tell from this photo, but from the red carpet they were gorgeous.
To get the look makeup artist Beth Bender of Beth Bender Beauty suggests blending a light pink, rose gold, and light plum shadow on the eyelids, (try The LOL Beauty Eyeshadow Palette, $36). You can use the smoky eye stencil included in the kit to create the shape in seconds. “Add more color to the lids if you desire a more dramatic look,” says Bender.
Keep the lips neutral with a touch of XXX Luscious Lip Plumping Gloss in Baby Doll, a sheer pink petal shade.
Most of the time Jennifer Aniston’s makeup is simple and chic with a golden glow that needs nothing more than a little lip gloss and eyeliner, but at the London premiere of The Bounty Hunter, she turned up her red carpet look a notch with a soft shimmery shadow.
To get Jen’s new look, celebrity makeup artistBeth Bendersuggests rimming your eyes with a black waterproof liner first, and then topping it with a grayish-silver shadow. This will give you color without covering the entire eyelid for a lush, and unfussed effect. Finish with 2 coats of your favorite lengthening, and thickening mascara in black, and off you go.
A week in the life of reality show celebrity Kate Gosselin……
Earlier in the week Kate Gosselin took out her $7,000 extensions, showing off a new bob with lush, side-swept bangs on Wednesday in New York City, but on Saturday Days after sporting a bob with side-swept bangs, the reality mother of eight, put her extensions back in while speaking Saturday at the Women’s Expo in South Bend, Ind.
Earlier this week, her hair stylist Ted Gibson said that the 34-year-old mother of eight was switching up her ‘do in preparation for her Dancing With the Stars debut on March 22.
“We’re taking them out and we’re not putting them back in until Thursday, so she’ll have short hair for a day,” he told BSW, adding that he planned on using “three different shades of blonde, a caramel, a beige blond and a little bit of a lighter blonde.” All that sounds just great, but 7,000 for hair extensions that don’t even look like real hair?!She may be a celebrity, but she definitely needs to learn a thing or two about hair extensions.
Since she began Dancing With the Stars rehearsals, her children have not been thrilled by their mama’s absence. With five nannies tending to the kids they are still wondering “When is Mommy coming home?’” an insider tells BSW.
Although Gosselin insists her children are “happy and thriving and we’re working together while we figure out the new normal. While they’re in school I’m working hard as a mom, and a working and traveling mom. Balancing both. It’s very difficult.”
Before leaving the event on Saturday she asked attendees to vote for her on Dancing With the Stars, which kicks off next Monday. “I’m dancing everyday,” she said. “It is so out of the ordinary for me. I am counting on your votes, by the way. I don’t even care if I dance horribly. I need them. I need all the help I can get!
This mother of 8 has come a long way from Pennsylvania, hasn’t she…it seems like the in thing is to have a bunch of kids, get a few nips and tucks…voila...YOU ARE A CELEBRITY! What was I thinking??? Having a modeling and acting career first…DA!!! Should have had a liter of kids first then I’d be a celebrity too!!!
Kate Gosselin - The New Generation of Motherhood
But, I’m digressing…maybe a little bitter…lol:) After having a successful reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, free plastic surgery, and newly divorced, this lady is ready to get back into the lime light…Kate Gosselin with her dance partner Tony Dovolani, have been rehearsing the Viennese Waltz, and on March 22, 2010 they will debut it on Dancing With The Stars…Kate was all ready to start filming a cleaner version of Kate Plus 8, but got an offer to dance that she couldn’t refuse. Again tagged as a neglectful mother for leaving her kids on another coast, Kate speaks out on how hurtful the accusations are…“The guilt factor is huge. All the other lies people want to tell, that’s one thing. But these lies about the kind of mother I am, they need to stop. I’m tired of defending myself.”
Well, I can’t say I blame her…So, Kate’s determined to be a better person/mother by showing everyone how she’s worked hard at something she is not good at…dancing…Since her dance transformation began, Kate has been flying back home on Tuesday nights to be with her kids then back to LA on Sundays to rehearse. According to Kate, her new lifestyle has given her blocks of time to be with her children as well as financially provide for them…and let’s not forget…this mom is having some fun for herself…and there is nothing wrong with that!
If you haven’t already heard of these extremely talented girls and their gorgeous shoes then let me personally open up your shoe rack to them…We met Jen and Kim at a Bridal Expo back in September in West Hollywood. Their display had us stopping in our tracks and lingering a little longer than necessary…but how could we help ourselves when our feet started doing a happy dance…
Jen and Kim Shoes at The Bridal Bar in West Hollywood
Jen and Kim Shoes are not only sexy, hot & so very stylish, they are super comfy…All I can say is “where were they when I got married”…I ended up barefoot by the time the band started playing…According to the girls, they hear this quite often from brides…however, their biggest pet peeve is a bride in flip flops…LOL! A definite “NO” in the world of Jen and Kim Shoes…(if you are wearing a pair of their custom designed shoes, this would never be an issue)
