Best /Worst Dressed at the AMA 2009 (My List)

Hi Beauties!

Here's a quick round up of my favorite and not-so-favorite celebrity looks from the the red carpet at the American Music Awards 2009.

Best Dressed

The award goes to Rihanna for her willingness to take major fashion risks. She is definitely the right person for this dress.

Dress by Marchesa

Jennifer Lopez 

Jenny from the Block definitely redeemed herself from a recent catastrophic "velour" number.

Dress by Marchesa

Fergie

Fergie to me screams Rock N Roll and this ensemble was very befitting.

WORST

Kelly and Leona need new stylist. Both of these are dreadful.

Let me know who your favorites/Dislikes were!

XOXO,

Awilda

FOTD: Smokey Green Eyes et Bold Lips (Inspired by Troy Jensen)

Hi Beauties!

Yes, it's true! A green look from me! I loved the Troy Jensen Look so much that I had to break out my Nars Misfit Duo and do it!

This looks is so elevated, I felt like a million dollars wearing it. I think I'll be wearing this look for Thanksgiving dinner with a little black ensemble. My Tip if you try this: This look should not compete with your hair or your outfit, keep the rest of you subdued because it looks way chic-er.

Products:

EYES

Nars Misfit Eyeshadow Duo

MAC Smolder eyeliner

YSL Faux Cils Mascara

CHEEKS

Nars Desire Blush

Nars Albatross Highlight

LIPS

Inglot #175 lipstick

MAC Clear Lipgloss

Tell me what you think of my attempt.

XOXO,

Awilda

FOTD: Green Eyes By Troy Jensen

Hi Beauties!

I have a confession, I am not a huge fan of green eyeshadows. However, I really loved the 3 different looks created by Celebrity Makeup Artist Troy Jensen using green.

My favorite is the one look with the dark lips! I think it screams sexy in an elevated (I-know-how-to-wear-makeup) kind of way.

Products Used:

Shu Uemura #550 Iridescent Green Eyeshadow

Shu Uemura #906 Metallic White Eyeshadow

Blush: Shu Uemura #30 Matte Pink

Let me know what you think!

XOXO,

Awilda

FOTD: Kim Kardashian's Birthday Makeup in Vegas By Mario Dedivanovic

Hi Beauties!


The wait is over! Mario Dedivanovic has finally posted the"get the face" look from Kim Kardashian's Birthday in Vegas. Without further ado.....

Skin – I used Sheer Glow Foundation by NARS all over the skin. Under the eyes and to highlight I used YSL’s Touch Eclat. To set everything use a touch of Translucent Loose Powder by Shiseido.


Eyebrows are softly filled in with MAC’s eyebrow pencil in Lingering.


Eyes – Urban Decay eyeshadow in Eldorado on eye lids and browbone. Smog eyeshadow also by Urban Decay on the crease of the eye and outter corners of the lids. Smolder Eye Kohl by MAC rimming the entire eye and on the inner rims. Use more liner towards the outter corners. Using a clean brush, blend along the lashlines, moving up and out. Apply more liner for intensity if needed. Finish the eyes with two coats of Lancome’s Hynose Drama Mascara on top and bottom lashes.

Cheeks – On the apples of the cheeks, use Passion blush by Josie Maran. Skin is bronzed with Josie Maran Bronzing Powder. Brush it along the hairline, jawline and hollows of cheeks. To highlight the cheek bones, use Trace Gold blush by MAC.

Lips are lined with MAC’s Cremestick Liner in Summerfruit followed by Lipgelee in Saplicious, also by MAC.


 
I think I will try to duplicate this look! I love it!
 
XOXO,
Awilda
