This time of the year all the award shows are out and the best part of the whole affair is seeing what everyone is wearing and how they choose to wear their hair and make-up to the fancy event. I thought that it would be totally fun to pick out several of my favorite hair styles and make-up applications, and of course, a couple big failures!
GiNNiFER GOODWiN, one of the stars from HBO’s BiG LOVE, wins my favorite over all look — from head to toe she was stellar! i am in love with her cute short pixie cut. the best part of her hair is the rich shiny deep brown color. the dark shade really brings out her luminous light eyes and her gorgeous glowing light skin. i also think that her clean fresh make-up is such a sensational look. i adore when you pick one dramatic part of your face (for GiNNiFER she choose her eyeliner to enhance her eyes) and really play it up while leaving the rest of your make-up pretty simple and light. her lip color is so subtle yet beautiful.
my favorite up-style was worn by the gorgeous OLiViA WiLDE from HOUSE M.D. i enjoy that it’s a non-up-style up-style. her hair is pulled back from her face and has volume right where needed (forehead and crown areas) but she still has the length of her hair. i appreciate the simplicity of the hair and truly love when hair styles look as though they took no time at all to do. it’s such a great look because it isn’t OVER WORKED. it truly is a style that is classy and yet youthful at the same time.
big bold red lips scare away many ladies…but the beautiful JANUARY JONES, from MAD MEN, shows that anyone can wear a beautiful bright red lip. like i stated before it’s all about playing up one feature, your lips, and keeping the rest of your make-up very natural and pale/light-colored. JANUARY’S make-up is one of my favorite from the big night, her skin looks absolutely perfect and porcelain. i think that old hollywood glamour is making a major come back. the head band was another thing that i loved about her, a simple ribbon really dressed up a simple up-style.
OMG!!! did PENELOPE CRUZ really walk the red carpet with a hair piece that DOES NOT match her actual hair color? oh yes she did! as you can see in the picture attached…her hairline is her natural dark brown/black while the piece they plopped a top her head to make her hair appear longer and fuller is light brown! bad bad bad, if you don’t have hair extensions to match your natural locks DON”T wear them — at least in public. you look ridiculous!
unfortunately i think that PATRiCiA ARQUETTE from MEDiUM recieved my over all “girl you are a mess” award. her blonde locks looked crazy with their un-kept frizzy curls and an “interesting” part. not only did it look like she needed to do a deep conditioner before she stepped onto the red carpet but there was no shape to her up-do. i like a mess but it needs to be a controlled mess! as for her make-up i feel that it looked half-hearted. the lashes and eye liner were too defined on the outer eyes and should have been brought in towards the nose a little. the eye shadow was a little too colorless and i think it could have been blended out towards the brows for a little more pizazz. her skin also looked way too pink for me, i would have liked it to be more of a pale porcelain color or something more bronzish.
