Kate Hudson Golden Globes Inspired MAC All Races Look

One of the make up looks I liked the best last night was Kate Hudson's exagerated cat's eyes make up look. It is basically a pale shimmery eye color all over the lid, and an elongated black eye pencil into the tear duct. Here's Kate, and here's me. Hmmm, maybe this wasn't my best idea after all!

Sorry I didn't do a full face, but I was heading to Bobbi Brown to go and get a new foundation to test, so wanted to go bare skinned.

Anyway, I used:

Elf Shadow Primer

MAC All Races all over the lid

MAC Shroom lightly over the lid and up into the browbone

UD Zero pencil in the tear duct following the slant of the eye

MAC All Races and Shroom along the lower lash line.

Maybelline Colossal Mascara

I loved this! It felt like a chic, understated alternative to the smoky eye. What do you think? Who did a good Golden Globes look?

Carey Mulligan in Vogue Looks Like a Cheeky Angel

I first started to pay attention to Carey Mulligan when An Education was released. She got a lot of press, and seemed to be genuinely intriguing. Her screen presence in An Education was literally mesmerizing. You could not take your eyes off her extremely expressive face. When I came across this spread in the January issue of Vogue (apart from Carey, completely disappointing. I could actually write a whole post on why the January 2010 Vogue is an embarrassment to Anna Wintour and Conde Nast, starting with that terrible cover), it was like a little ray of joy and light in an otherwise disappointing read. Anyway, these pictures display the fabulous quixotic nature of her beautiful, timeless face, how she is always and never herself. This shoot is a gorgeous display of fashion and art, and I love how Carey has thrown herself into it, rather than, as so many young female actresses are wont to do, staying safe and pretty. Love love love.

 

Ps. That hat! Those nude lips!
