1.) Cameron Diaz knows how to pull of simple sophistication.

Normally known for her healthy sunkissed skin, due to her active sporty lifestyle it seems like either she hasn’t been on holidays for a while or she is slathering on the sunscreen. I am loving her gorgeous opalescent skin tone. Keeping it very natural apart from a flash of red lippy, this look screams Hollywood sophistication. If you would like to replicate this look I would recommend the following key products:

Foundation: Vitalumiere from Chanel

Lipstick: Ruby Woo from MAC

Eyeshadow: Ivory Opulence from Lancome

Eyeliner: Double Wear Black from Estee Lauder

Blush: Benetint by Benefit

Mascara: High Impact Curling Mascara by Clinique

2.) Ginnifer Goodwin

Ginnifer is also working a classic look with a striking winged black eyeliner. This look really suits her pixie haircut and gives her a youthful fresh feel. She has kept lips nude which helps to keep us focused on her eyes and that gorgeous Royal Blue dress. If you would like to replicate this look I would recommend the following key products:

Foundation: Diorskin Nude from Dior

Eyeliner: Black Liquid Eyeliner by MAC

Lipstick: Belle de Jour by NARS

3.) January Jones

Strong eyebrows frame January’s features perfectly, I really like her lush berry lip colour which shows off her radiant smile. I read an interview with her Make-Up Artist Rachel Goodwin, who breaks down the look on talkingmakeup.com, which I will share with you here:

Beauty Inspiration & The Look: “January’s Golden Globes makeup was all about taking a fresh approach to the classic red lip.”

Beauty Tip: “I used Le Blanc de Chanel under her base to create luminous ‘glowing from the inside’ porcelain skin, then treated her lips with Chanel Hydramax + Active Lip Treatment before applying Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paris – a gorgeous garnet red from a new lipstick line launching in March. I painted the finest black line on her upper lid with Chanel Automatic Liquid Eyeliner in Noir and shaded under her eyes with Chanel Intense Eye Pencil in Graphite in the outer corners. I finished her look by layering lots of different false eyelashes then added Exceptionnel de Chanel Noir Obscur Mascara over the top for an intense black lash line.”

If like me you were watching the RTE News today and you saw the catastrophic images of Haiti and are wondering what you can do…perhaps you might consider making a donation to the Partners in Health:

They are in Haiti now and wrote the following message from the field:

What’s been on the minds of Partners In Health/Zanmi Lasante staff over the past 24 hours? Below are just a few thoughts selected from the torrent of emails that circulated through our servers:

• From Port-au-Prince: Our team has been designated by the WHO to serve as the coordinators of the public University Hospital (HUEH) alongside Haitian Ministry of Health. In that role, PIH is supporting the administration and staff in restoring services at the city’s central hospital, which will also serve as the base of operations for our emergency triage and surgical teams in Port-au-Prince and for referring patients who need more advanced care for transport to our facilities in the Central Plateau and Lower Artibonite.

• 	A plane of volunteer surgical teams prepares to depart to Port-au-Prince.

  From the Port-au-Prince airport: Planes arrived from Florida, New York, and Montreal, carrying volunteers surgical teams and surgical supplies, blankets, and water. Pulling out the stops to quickly unload and route people and supplies to where they’re needed most.

• From HUEH/Port-au-Prince: Surgical teams slept at the hospital with all their supplies so they could begin surgeries at 6am this morning.
• From St. Marc: Hundreds of patients are in need of surgery. Eagerly awaiting a surgical team—which is now on it’s way from Port-au-Prince.
• From Cange doctor: Planning to host the other surgical teams, and organizing where to station them throughout the Central Plateau.
• From on road from Belladere: Racing from the Dominican Republic—a medical team from Dartmouth flew into Santo Domingo yesterday and are en route to Cange now.
• From Cange hospital: We’ve had a number of severely injured patients trickle in today saying that they’ve been trying for days to get here but transportation/gas prices were too high.
• From Belladere: The mayor asked us for our help to find housing for all the newly homeless people arriving from Port-au-Prince.

I went to see Avatar directed by James Cameroon the other day, all I can say is WOW! I thought that it was absolutely fantastic . They did a really good job of creating an ethereal enchanted world which to be honest I wouldn’t mind living in.

Anyway I have decided that I would like to go as Neytiri for Halloween this year. I know what you are thinking, that I must be mad talking about Halloween…but every year I make a half arsed attempt at a costume on the day, which is a bit ridiculous considering I am a Make-Up Artist. Here are some examples:

So this year it’s going to be different and I am going to pull out all the stops! Myself and my Make-Up Artist friend have agreed to do each other’s make-up for Halloween. The reason for this is it is kinda hard to lifecast and apply character make-up to yourself.

She is going to apply a full prosthetic character make-up to make me look like Neytiri. I will blog the process as we go along with some pictures and instructions for anyone else who would like to know how it is done. I will also be doing a charcter make-up on my friend. She hasn’t decided what she would like to go as yet. I am trying to convince her to go as the borg:

Or if you guys have any other suggestions of characters that she could go as that would involve prosthetics, let me know. Anyway, watch this space as I will let you know how we get on xx

I did the make-up for a shoot a while back with Brian Dowling, John Lovett and Alan Hughs, here are the photographs, which were taken by Jenny McCarthy. Sorry for the delay!
