Oscars '12

Here are my fave looks from the red carpet. J-Lo and Cameron... wow! Love the nude, mermaid style and how it showed off their figures. Angelina also looked great, a little more vivacious than usual.

orange-lipped

I love when a bold lip colour can be the focus of a fresh make up look. Here is an idea on how to wear orange lips:

1. Start with good skincare and a touch of coverage from something like the new Clinique BB Cream. BB  (Beauty Balm) creams have been huge in Asia and are finally making their way over here. They are much like tinted moisturizers.
2. Apply a creamy shimmer product, like this one from Urban Decay or MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl or Shell. Apply all over eye lids and tops of cheekbones.
3. Apply a cream blush, like Maybelline Dream Bouncy or Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge.
4. Curl lashes, for extra drama place a few individual lashes on and apply a dark brown mascara.
5. Last, apply an lipstick such as MAC Neon Orange or Morange, or Make Up Forever Rouge Intense #40.
