Get the Look: Kerry Washington's Day to Night Scandal Premiere Makeup

Most of you are probably just as obsessed with Scandal as I am with Kerry Washington's NYC premiere makeup.   Truth is, I've never seen an episode, but can spot a flawless face when I see one.  NARS makeup artist, Brigitte Reiss-Andersen, took the actress from day to night building upon one foundation.  Here's how:

“I am always inspired by the clothing. When I saw Kerry’s white dress, it was easy to see what I needed to do: sheer, fresh and light. The new Radiant Cream Compact Foundations worked perfectly for this look.”

Other products included: Mambo Eyeliner Pencil, Kalahari Duo Eyeshadow, Suriname Brow Perfector & Falbala Lipstick

“This was the perfect transition for nighttime. Kerry wanted a matte lip and we balanced it by building on her look from earlier, creating a wide-eyed, true, smokey brown eye.”

Products used were: Dark Rite Eyeshadow Pencil, Mambo Eyeliner Pencil, Coconut Grove Eyeshadow & Belle de Jour Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

5 Golden Globes Hairstyles to Steal

This summer I have eight weddings to attend.  Eight!  I'm sure you have your fair share of formal events too, or if you don't, you'll find excuses to cop these styles.  I rounded up my favorite hairstyles from the Golden Globes from top knots to sexy loose waves and everything in between for your viewing pleasure.

A sex kitten blowout with volume.

A glamourous ponytail with face framing pieces.

A texturized top knot.

Old hollywood inspired side swept waves.

Sleek with fringe.

The Perfect Nude Nail Polish

As of late I've been obsessed with having perfectly manicured, clean looking nails.  Not that my nails weren't clean before, but I normally painted them dark colors, which looked dirty as soon as they chipped (which for me only took about two days).  Now I'm all about the perfect neutral. My perfect neutral still hasn't been found and it's driving me insane!  I've been layering different shades like a classic blush, Essie in Mademoiselle with a beige like Iced Chai Latte and have done a ton of other combos.  Depending on how tan I am, I mix and match each week.

Cutting edge nail polish brand, RGB, came to the rescque and took all of the guess work out of finding the perfect nude.  They partnered with manicurist, Jenna Hipp, to created the Hipp X RGB collection, a perfect nude for four different skin tones.  Her inspiration was her celebrity clientele – Lauren Conrad, Jennifer Hudson, Kerry Washington and Rachel McAdams.  Check out the collection online.

L'Oreal Honors Women of Worth

Last week I had the pleasure of eating dinner on the 44th floor at the Hearst Tower overlooking NYC with Hoda Kotb, Kerry Washington, Giada De Laurentiis, Viola Davis and Trisha Yearwood in honor of L'Oreal's 5th annual Women of Worth awards. I have to admit I was most excited to see Hoda because her and Kathie Lee are drunk in my living room every morning and I adore their talk show.  Once again, it was an honor to be invited by L'Oreal and as I looked around the room around the other outstanding women and beauty editors, I was proud and appreciative to be there to support the initiative.

L'Oreal awarded $5,000 to each of the ten nominees' charities and matched the $5,000 award in the nominees name as a donation to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.  This years National Honoree, Taryn Davis, was awarded a bonus of $25,000 towards her charity, The American Widow Project, which when explained, brought me to tears.  Each of the nominees were definitely 'women of worth,' but this project really touched me.  The woman was 21 when she found out her husband who was serving in Iraq was killed.  She then founded an organization to connect with other war widows as a support organization.
