As we mentioned in the last post on the Golden Globe Awards, there is much more to be found when focusing on the closeups rather than just the wide angle dress shot. Last post we looked at accessories, and in this post we look at hair and makeup. The reoccuring theme this year was soft updos, subdued shades of lipstick, upper-lid eyeliner with eyebrows often the biggest statement maker on the face.  Earrings were usually lightweight and small and necklaces were often absent altogether.

On this page we featured Evan Rachel Wood who we think epitomized this year’s biggest makeup trends, working a look that was simplistically stunning. See Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum, Charlize Theron, Debra Messing, Dianna Agron, Helen Mirren, Kelly Osbourne, Mila Kunis, Paula Patten, Madonna, Rooney Mara and many more on the next page.

Glitzy, glam and futuristic, the make- up of Anne Staunsager  is worthy of praise, as illustrated by her work in the January issue of Elle Danemark. More images on the flip via V.O. 

Fashion vlogger Taren Guy dedicates an episode to showcasing some of accessory designer Melody Ehsani’s big bold earrings. Hard to believe I am just now discovering the ultra-adorable Guy, who has been vlogging on Youtube as Taren916 for two years! (People, you gotta let us know!) According to a bio featured on beauty company Carol’s Daughter, she started out “dedicated to documenting her own natural hair journey,” and now covers the gamut in beauty and fashion trends.

A gorgeous shot from T Magazine’s most recent issue–love the blue shadow under the eyes against the taupe above it. Details–model, Ashley Smith with makeup applied by James Kaliardos, shot by Richard Burbridge.

A lover of all things vintage, fashion blogger Jasmin Rodriguez of Vintage Vandalizm fame puts it all together for the Thanksgiving Day holiday with a golden era of Hollywood-inspired look that is thoroughly modern. Nails, hair and makeup–all 100 percent did and on point.

This week we were very excited to attend  the Elements Showcase , a scents focused trade show exhibiting some of the finest in scents  and skincare.  A true delight of the senses for those in search of  the unique  and luxurious . Immaculate presentation, conceptual art, gourmet catering, we walked away floating… On the next page a peek at a few of our favorites.

Hello Kitty links up with Liberty of London on a makeup collection, which so far includes gloss, eye shadow and a makeup bag.

 Enjoy a look at the latest La Chanelphile editorial featuring  the Illusions d’Ombres de Chanel Autumn  2011 cosmetics, accessorized with slick Chanel 80s and 90s jewellery.
