oscar predictions 2010: Beauty and Makeup

red-carpet-womanMy predictions for the Oscars:  What types of makeup will eveyone be wearing?  What will the trends be???  Find out here!!!

Eyes:  Of course, the smoky look will be big, it always is for the red carpet.  It is the “go to” look for celebrities when they want to look glamorous and dramatic.  However, this year, I predict the smoky look will be accented with a lot of shimmery metals:  bronze, gold, and silver.  This will be a reflection of the past year’s bad economic state, and our hopes for more “riches” in the near future…(I know, I’m getting a little in depth, but this is how trends are started and followed, right????)

Also on the eyes:  a focus on luxurious lashes, and liner focused on the top on the eyes. 

Color will also be predominant on the eyes, but not heavy color.  Light whimsical shades such as pale blue, lavender and peach will all be used generously.

The skin, of course, will be a main component of the overall look for celebrities.  It’s always a pre requisite for celebrities to have glowing radiant skin, and the Oscars are certainly no exception.  Luminizers and shimmer will be used on the eyes and cheeks to help give that “healthy” look.

Lips:  There will be two looks:  Matte  bright  red or nude and glossy.  Peach lips will also be a part of the look for many.  Peach is always a great “go to” color for makeup artists.

Under Eye Bumps

milia_924_lgQ:
Hi Christopher. how can i get rid of milia tiny little unereye bumps?
A:
I wouldn’t try removing them myself. Milia under the eyes are are actually small protein deposits (gross, huh???)…
Milia, are little balls of protein beneath the skin that do not have a pore, or hole in the skin through which to escape.
Comedones or whiteheads are excess fats and wastes that are trapped in a hair follicle and so they clog up the pore. In short, milia are proteins trapped within the skin, while comedones are fats and skin debris trapped within the pore.
To reduce creating milia around the eyes, use eye creams with the least amount of ingredients possible to avoid irritating the delicately thin eye area. Also, gently touch the eyes and avoid rubbing the eyes vigorously so as not to damage the skin.
I would go to an esthetician and have them lanced. Don’t do it yourself!!!
