I know it’s been a while since I have done a celebrity inspired look for you so I wanted to share one with you today. I have been loving Scarlet Johansson’s look lately as she has been using a lot of colors without it being to much. This is one of my favorites that Scarlet wears as the pink and purple shades are the most girly to me. This look is perfect for prom, a date night, or anytime you want to add some fun and color to your look. So pull out all your girly colors and lets get started on this fun and eye-catching look.

Get the Look

While others wait the Oscar winners, I wait the dresses, hair-do’s and makeup of the celebrities.

Most of the looks were either “no-makeup”-makeup either with neutral lips or bold lips, or basic smokey eyes. The one that caught my attention was Jennifer Lopez’s look:

Here’s what the makeup artist used:

Celebrity Makeup Artist: Mary Phillips

• FACE – First, Mary highlighted Jennifer’s natural glow by mixing L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Makeup in Sun Beige ($10.95) with LaMer The Reparative Body Lotion ($180) to create a dewy but even and smooth canvas
• CHEEKS – Mary dabbed L’Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé Blush in Cherubic on her cheeks for a subtle flush of color ($12.95)
• EYESHADOW – Mary used two shadows to achieve Jennifer’s sultry eye: L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Eye Shadow in Eternal Black and Iced Latte ($7.95 each)
• EYELINER – Mary created a winged cat eye with L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in Brown ($8.95)
• MASCARA – Mary completed the high drama effect of the eye with two coats of L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in Carbon Black ($8.95)
• LIPS – Jennifer’s lip color was the final glamorous touch; L’Oreal Paris Infallible 8HR Le Gloss in Coral sands ($9.99)

If you wish to re-create the original, you can easily change Gold Digger to White Lies, Vanilla Beam or even to Shimma Shimma.

Products Used:

• Palladio eyeshadow primer (Makeup Geek Store)
• Makeup Geek Gold Digger – lid (Makeup Geek Store)

• Makeup Geek White Lies – highlight (Makeup Geek Store)
• NYX Jumbo Pencil Milk (MakeupGeek Store)
• MAC Blitz & Glitz fluidline

Start with priming your eye with your favourite primer:

Then apply Gold Digger (or lighter color) to whole lid:

Then I did the shape with Mocha:

I darkened and defined it with Bada Bing:

Then I blended it a bit and applied White Lies to highlight:

Then I applied a hint of NYX Jumbo pencil Milk under the “wing”:

..and blended it with White Lies:

Then I used MAC Blitz & Glitz fluidline to line my eye:

I blended the liner with Bada Bing, and used Bada BIng also to line my lower lashline:

Then I applied Isadora Inline Kajal Blonde to waterline, and added mascara:

And finally I added falsies (cheap ones from Ebay):

And the look is done!

For my cheeks I used MUD Glow blush, Make Up For Ever Matte Bronze in shade 20, and for my lips I used Palladio Paris Pink lipstick with MAC Fresh Air lipglass:

Carrie Underwood is mostly known for her amazing voice and chart topping hits. However, she is becoming widely renowned for her stunning look.

Perfect for you green/hazel eyed gals, this cranberry smokey eye is a ideal example of a colorful smokey eye. This is will also enhance your brown and blued eyed girls as well. Perfect for the fall weather or for a night our with friends or that special someone when you want to look extra special.
