The Girls from “The Hills” walked the red carpet in NYC for the finale of Season 4 on MTV. Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port, Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, and Lo Bosworth all arrived looking very pretty and grown up: Lauren’s makeup was classic, Whitney and Lo’s makeup was minimalist, and both Heidi and Audrina pulled off the sexy siren look.
Each girl wore their signature beauty look but my favorite of them all was LC… her makeup was flawless and perfect even for the runway. Lauren Conrad’s personal makeup artist Amy Nadine, who is also the lead makeup artist for Mark Cosmetics, decided to add some color to Lauren makeup palette;
Amy gave Lauren her signature eyes using mark On the Edge’ Hook up liquid liner in black on the top and bottom eye. Next, it looked like she used mark I-Glimmer Creamy Eye Shadow Palette in Bronzed which highlights and brightens the eyes and is long lasting. For those great lashes, she used the mark Scandal-Lash Hook Up Mascara in Black which thickens and gives length. On the lips, it looks like Lauren was wearing Mark Cosmetics top seller lip gloss, Hook Ups. Thisitem is a two part step, the Pro Glimmer first, followed by the Pro Gloss to pump and add shine to the lips. Because Lauren is not big on wearing blush, I am sure that Amy pulled out the mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder to give her that healthy glow and then dust the new mark Twinkle belle for a pearlized shimmer on her face.
I think tonight was the best I have ever seen all the girls, can’t wait to see where Whitney Port’s (“The City”) makeup artist takes her look. New York Post’s Page 6 did question whether she is the next Carrie Bradshaw?!?
There is a hidden gem located in “The Big Easy”. Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis. Brandy may not be a native New Orleanian, but this tough skinned east coaster has always loved makeup. She flirted with makeup, hair, and fashion as a young girl and this was something that kept her occupied being an only child. Because her parents are from Honduras she felt that they didn’t understand her hunger for beauty and fashion She watched old classic Hollywood movies and read fashion magazines (with Vogue being her favorite) and what she loved was seeing women looking beautiful, polished, perfectly combed hair, lots of lashes with red lip stick, and lots of gorgeous gaudy jewelry. Many days Brandy would go to the thrift stores and then walk to Mood Designer Fabrics go home, lock herself in her room to redesign the items she purchase. She would take all of her ideas and sketch figures and faces. Her favorite looks made it to her walls. Her walls were covered in collages of drawings, tear sheets, and articles not knowing that she was creating a personal look book.
