FACE
apply your foundation very well. make sure to blend really well at the jaw and hair lines. Your foundation must be flawless so spend a considerable amount of time on it. It is a very important part of your look. the add powder to the problem areas (T-zone, chin). Add a medium bronzer to your temples, cheek bones and jaw line.

EYES
After applying your primer, apply a gold shadow to your eyelid and blend the colour upwards, but only slightly. Then using a thinner brush, apply a dark brown colour to the socket and across the lash line. Then using a lighter brown, line your lower lash lid. Use a white eyeshadow to highlight below the brow bone. then using a black eyeliner line your top lid only in a thin line, getting as close to the lash line as possible. Don't apply the liner to the inner corner, just stop short of the inner corner. Then apply your mascara in a thick layer to your top lid and a regular layer to the bottom lashes.

Brush out your brows and fill them in. Make them look natural, thick and strong. Then using a clear mascara fix them in place.

LIPS
apply a nude/pink colour to your lips over foundation.

That's the look done! Hope you enjoyed it.

Gemma Arterton in Isabel Marant Fall 2010

*Blogged by Kiki*

Gemma Arterton chose to wear a striped version of this Isabel Marant Fall 2010 grey dress with draped skirt to the screening of ‘The Disappearance of Alice Creed’ in New York. I happen to love this entire look, the updo and dark eyes compliment the whole look perfectly.

Marriage suits Gemma….

Mischa Barton is a disaster in Miu Miu

*Blogged by Kiki*

Disaster.

That’s the first thing that springs to mind looking at these pictures. From the ill fitting dress to the disgusting yellow (that’s not blonde) extensions i have no idea where is a safe place to avert my eyes to. Mischa is by no means a weighty woman, she gets far too much hassle for her weight in my opinion but i have no idea why she though this dress was a good idea.

The dress is part of the Miu Miu Spring 2010 Collection, i happen to like the dress on the model but Mischa manages to make the whole look tacky. This dress belongs on someone like Kirsten Dunst who wears Miu Miu perfectly.

Kate Moss for Vogue September 2010 in Burberry Prorsum Fall 2010

*Blogged by Kiki*

Kate Moss covers the UK September issue of Vogue, the model has graced the cover several times throughout the years and she never disappoints. I love the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2010 navy military coat she is wearing on the front cover. The spread is stunning, check it out here you will not be disappointed.

Eva Mendes in Oscar de la Renta Resort 2011

*Blogged by Kiki*

Actress Eva Mendes attended the NYC premiere of her latest flick ‘The Other Guys’ wearing an Oscar de la Renta grey pencil dress with detachable skirt from the Resort 2011 Collection. I neither liked nor disliked this look. I had some troubles with the skirt but if Eva had chosen to wear it without the detachable skirt the dress would have simply been plain. The skirt should have had more volume to make an impact, it almost sits flatter on Eva that it is supposed to. Eva completed her look with some black Sergio Rossi slingback pumps.

Neither a hit or miss…..

Ashley Greene in PureDKNY

*Blogged by Kiki*

Ashley Greene attended Super Saturday 13 wearing a white ruffle hem dress by PureDKNY. For once i never rolled my eyes, the whole look is sweet flirty and feminine. For the record this is the Ashley i like, looking natural and without her hideous extensions. Ashley completed her look with some Kyla Sandals by Sam Edelman and a Luminous Rectangle Cuff Bracelet by Sandy Leong.

Alicia Keys Marries Swizz Beatz in Vera Wang

*Blogged by Kiki*

Alicia Keys married music producer Swizz Beatz in a stunning Vera Wang Fall 2010 asymmetrical Grecian style wedding gown. I love her look right down to her hair and headband. Alicia who is pregnant with the couples first child together shows pregnant women can rock a wedding dress just as good as any other bride. She absolutely glows.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Lady GaGa for Vanity Fair

*Blogged by Kiki*

I love Lady GaGa. She brings with her some originality and the wow factor. I love her fearless view on fashion, she’s never afraid to push the limits and try something new. Her ever changing looks have me both in awe and amazed at how one woman can rock so many styles of hair and clothing.

I anticipate every look, every new song and i anticipate Lady GaGa for Vanity Fair. She is the September issue cover girl and the already released photos leave with no doubt the full spread will be stunning. I love the feminine look she has here with the lilac tint to her hair, yet she exuberates the fierceness that i personally love about her. The fierceness that takes her from Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta to Lady GaGa without effort, to a woman who could take on the world.

Anna Kendrick Attends the "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" L.A Premiere in Marchesa Resort 2011

*Blogged by Kiki*

I’m never usually a fan of what Anna Kendrick wears on the red carpet, her style doesn’t appeal to me however i love this look she wore to the L.A premiere of her latest flick ‘Scott Pilgrim vs the World’.

Anna opted for a navy strapless leopard print dress with an embroidered bodice from the Marchesa Resort 2011 Collection. This is Anna’s second Marchesa look in just over a month, she also chose a dress from this collection for the Eclipse L.A premiere. Whilst many people were not keen on her choice of heels, i for one am loving her yellow Jimmy Choo ‘Mendez’ heels. The only negative i have on this look is her posture and hair which is always the same. Other than that she nailed it.

Blake Lively In Chanel Resort 2011

*Blogged by Kiki*

Blake Lively isn’t boring me as much with this look, i wouldn’t stretch as far as saying i liked it but i didn’t roll my eyes at the sight of it. Definite improvement on my part.

Blake attended the ‘Twelve’ New York Premiere wearing a navy blue tweed dress with sheer panels and an open back. This dress comes from the Chanel Resort 2011 collection. She finished off her look with some Christian Louboutin ‘Bianca’ slingback pumps.
