I’m a big fan of gold eye makeup. It just goes so well with a summer tan. But I was surprised to hear that for the MTV Movie Awards, MAX Factor celebrity makeup artist, Jake Bailey, only used gold to line Lo Bosworth’s bottom lashes (pictured on top). I usually dust gold eyeshadow on my lids. I never thought of using it to line my eyes.
Bailey wanted to create a simple eye to go with the reality star’s bright lips. I followed Bailey’s advice and gave it a try myself (pictured on bottom). I didn’t have the same products as he used for Lo so I substituted Chanel eye shadow in Slate with Stila eyeshadow in Cloud to swipe on my lids. I then wet a brush and lined my lower Lashes with the gold from my Stila Gold Glow eyeshadow trio since I didn’t have MAX Factor MAXeye Liner in Gilt Complex. I topped it all off with two coats of mascara as recommended. I think this is going to be my new day eye. It’s subtle but the stripe of gold adds a glam factor, perfect for days when I have to go straight from work to an event.
Want the same bright pink lips as Lo Bosworth? Pucker up with MAX Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor in Sweet Tart. Bailey also recommends Rose Rage and Ms. Terious for light, bright shades to keep your look fresh.
I must say I’m pretty disappointed with the fashion—or lack there of—at this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Aside from Vanessa Hudgens’ Max Azria maxi and hot Jimmy Choos, Sienna Miller’s sparkly Twenty8Twelve mini and Ashley Greene’s retro Dolce & Gabbana getup, nothing wowed me in a good way (there were plenty of looks, ahem Megan Fox’s mullet, that made me shudder). If I had attended tonight, I would have worn my new Elizabeth and James maxi dress I bought yesterday during a super fun shopping spree with Amber Katz. So I decided to stage my own little photo shoot (my cousin was dying to see my new dress, anyway). What do you guys think, should I keep it? Or is too MTV Movie Awards to wear for a girl’s night out? I’m still undecided.
Yesterday I had a phenom shopping spree with my New York beauty pal, Amber Katz, aka the Beatuy Blogging Junkie. She’s in L.A. to cover the red carpet at tonight’s MTV Movie Awards for Gilette. While most reporters will be dishing about gossip and fashion, Amber is going to rate which stars have the most glam gams on the carpet. My money is on Vanessa Hudgens (nominated for “Best Kiss” with Zac Efron in High School Musical 3: Senior Year), Kate Hudson and Anne Hathway (nominated for “Best Fight” in Bride Wars), Miley Cyrus (nominated for “Breakthrough Performance” in Hannah Montana: The Movie) and Kate Winselt (nominated for “Best Female Perfomance” in The Reader).
