Serious Primpin'

Rhianna Rouge d'Armani 401

L'Oreal Colour Riche Rendevous

It's days before the biggest night of the year in Film. Nominees are getting prepped, scrubbed, peeled, massaged, botoxed, tweezed, hair dyed, mani-pedi quick color changes to match the look. Clarisonic's Super Sonic Cleansing Brush, leaves the skin squeaky clean, gorgeous and ready for makeup application. L'Oreal's Colour Riche nail in Rendevous, a beautiful, bold red would be my first choice, paired with Rouge d'Armani #401. It's a knockout. Red never goes out of style, makes a bold statement.
This is Hollywood, go big or go bust.

Colour Riche Tangerine

"Hello darhling, I'm Mildred Pierce and I don't need a man to survive. Watch me take over the world." Fierce. Colour Riche Tangerine, a bright coral would look pretty on Viola's toes. This week is a whirlwind, a non-stop blurry haze of press, luncheons, gowns, suits, parties and pictures. Lots and lots of pics. Who do the celebs entrust to look their best?

Dressed To Kill

Only the top Hair and Makeup peeps, of course. It takes a village alright. Armani Beauty will be armed and dangerous. Tim Quinn, Celebrity Face Designer extraordinaire with be there, his top products ready & on display, beautifying all his A LIST clients. I'm sure we'll see Rouge d'Armani Lipstick #401 light up the red carpet. A blinding, coral red, 'a must have,' in his bag of tricks. Glenn Close, one of his regulars, always looks elegant, and impeccably made up. Rest assured, the stars are in great hands. Eyes will pop, volumized and plush in Armani Beauty's Dressed To Kill Mascara. "Two coats, top and bottom, please." To top it off, Tim says, "I'm adding Mary Dolores Hart, a nun and former famous Hollywood starlet from the mid 50's." The documentary God Is the Bigger Elvis, is a 2012 nominee. Ms. Hart gave up fame for her calling. I say, "May the best nun win and amen Tim."

Armani Designer Lift

Luminous Silk and Designer Lift Foundation are a cannot live without beauty product, for flawless, Oscar worthy complexions. An Armani Foundation devotee, I never leave home with out it. Luminous, glowing, even skin makes any application a snap.

MAC Blush Pink Swoon

Aloha
Crushed Metallic Pigment

MAC Cosmetics Glam Squad will be out in full force, painting bewitching bevies, about town. Mac's Pink Swoon Blush is the 'right on' shade of pink for any skin tone and every paparazzi picture. The incomparable, stunning 'MC' turned me on to Pink Swoon. Thank you, beautiful lady. Mac Cosmetics Paint Pots are perfect for smoky eyes. Precise application, water-proof crease, lasting from lunch well into the night. Add a bit of Aloha Crushed Metallic Pigment, Textile designer Vera Neumann's on top, brilliant colour palette is translated into a limited edition set of four stackable jars. Highlights eyes or skin with a striking colour wave of gold reflective metallic sparkle.

Elle MacPherson by Troy Jensen

The Sunset Tower, Beverly Hilton, and the Chateau will leave your head spinning with celeb sightings.The soiree lists endless, Elton John's Viewing Party, Women in Film, Paramount, Vanity Fair, Essence's Black Women in Film Luncheon.
