The Oscar for Best Red Carpet Beauty....

 The Oscars! The only event known to bring on a world wide shortage of faux lashes.

 A glamourous event where all leading, supporting, chaperoning, carpet crashing etc.. ladies ( and some men? ) required minimum 2 pairs per eye.

Here are my top pics for best Red Carpet beauty ( clearly the lashes win best supporting role ;) )

MILLA JOVOVICH: Soft sultry smokey eye paired with a bold red lip and vintage inspired up do

ANNA FARIS: Gasp! When did this happen? Clean fresh khol rimmed eyes and a cute blonde bob

MERYL STREEP: Glowed! focus was all about skin

NATALIE PORTMAN: Chocolaty Smokey eyes with soft lip

SANDRA BULLOCK: Pop of sparkle on the eyes with a neutral lip. I'm not super sold on the lip shade, but it works

7 Days of Makeup Love: Day 7 Glossy Red Lips

The classic look of love! A romantic Red Lip.

Choose any type of red to suit your complexion, wear it creamy or glossy.

Important to remember is to line the lips first with a matching red lip liner filling the lips in, then add lip colour on top.

Pair your red lips with a soft earth toned smokey eye, a simple winged liner and a hint of shimmery white eyeshadow.

The Best of Grammy Beauty 2012

On Sunday 12th Feb the Stars took to the Red Carpet once more for the Annual Grammy Awards.

Yes the show is about awarding the music industries finest....and not so finest.... but for those of us (like myself) who watch solely for the Red Carpet arrivals, here are my top beauty looks on the Red Carpet.

ADELE: You see that face? the lip? the hair?  NUFF SAID.

KELLY OSBOURNE: Kelly has been giving me life as of lately Her makeup is Fresh and FLAWLESS as always. Lavender blonde? WANT!

KELLY ROWLAND: Pretty Makeup! Love that she isn't wearing bangs, but the Center part looks a little to school girl for my preference, I still give it win cause the bangs are gone!

RIHANNA's boobies: Flawless Makeup as always! Love the shaggy doo. 

JESSIE J: Gorgeous Smokey eye love the soft sculpting and neutral lip..I really like her lip. She works those bangs too!

MELANIE FIONA: Skin was flawless, glowing, sculpted with a perfect winged liner. I think the lashes had gold gems along the lash line also

LADY GAGA: Mother Monster I couldn't see your makeup but you WERK that stone netting!

And who ever thinks that Nicki Minaj's face was "beat to the gods" clearly doesn't go to church.

7 Days of Makeup Love: Day 6 Chocolate Kisses

Why not give him chocolate this year? ......Chocolate Kisses that is :)

A smouldering smokey eye in golds, copper and burgundy would be a perfect match with this decadent pout.

Choose a red based brown for a rich chocolaty look or mix in a little red lipstick to increase richness. Add a gold gloss on top for an extra treat!

This look would be great in creamy or glossy texture.

Remember to take with you to dinner for touch ups before "dessert" ;)

7 Days of Makeup Love: Day 5 Matte Red

Day 5 Takes it to the official colour of Valentines, Red :)

If you're not a glossy girl a matte lip would be perfect.

Since the lip is sans glow, pair it with a shimmery white/silver eye to balance the look and textures.

Keep cheeks subtle with just a wash of bronzer or go bold with a wash of red toned blush.

7 Days of Makeup Love: Day 4 Midas Eyes

Day 4's look is a Metallic Gold Smokey eye.

Subtle yet intense, use cream shadows with powder shadows to play with texture for a look that would be gorgeous in the candle light ;)

A great thing about this eye is that you can pair it with any lip a soft nude, deep plum or cherry red!

Pair this look with gold accessories to make it pop even more!

7 Days of Makeup Love: Day 3 Amethyst Eyes

Roses are Red, Violets are blue make great smokey eyes for you!

LOL

I'm sorry *hangs head*

A rich purple smokey eye would be an amazingly sexy and smouldering look for valentines. 

It gives you the same rich, vixen intensity as a black smokey eye but keeping it softer in this jewel tone.

Pair it with soft pinky nude lips and cheeks, but be careful to still define the lips and cheeks so that the overall look has balance and no feature disappears.

7 Days of Makeup Love: Day 2 Bright Pink Pout

Day 2 of Valentines Day Makeup Inspiration brings us a fun Pink Lip.

For the girl that wants to do a bold colour but not necessarily red!

Pair with a natural eye or winged liner for a little more drama. 

Play with texture also.  Choose a creamy lipstick, stain or gloss. Remember a matching liner to help colour last throughout the evening's smooches :D

And don't worry! it would make a cute colour block contrast with a little red dress ;)

7 Days of Makeup Love: Day 1 Dreamy Lashes

Welcome to 7 days of Makeup Love!

  I will post Makeup Ideas for Valentines day every day until V. Day.

Our first look is for the Natural No Makeup Look Ladies. You've all heard "Try something new!" especially for occasions like Valentines but many end up feeling uncomfortable.

You don't have to go out of your own skin to look and feel amazing.

One of the easiest but super dramatic changes that you can make are false lashes.

Choose a full strip with wispy hairs that flare off to the outer corners and add them to your natural makeup look for sexy come hither eyes.

Your date won't be able to look away ;)
