She’s Got the Look: Golden Globes -Tina Fey goes for French Beauty

Beauty line Votre Vu glammed up her royal bossypants for the awards

Celebrity Makeup Artist Gita Bass created Tina Fey’s stunning look for the 2012 Golden Globe Awards tonight, using Votre Vu makeup and skincare.

“We were inspired by Tina’s Oscar de la Renta dress, which was a gorgeous purple shade, so we decided to create a rich, sexy but low-key look that wouldn’t compete with the gown.” said Gita.

Here’s how to get the look for yourself:

  1. Started by prepping the face with skin-soothing Votre Vu Tragic Magic Rescue Creme. “It calms the complexion making it the perfect canvas for makeup” claims Bass.
  2. Pat on Votre Vu Tout le Monde Antioxidant Eye Gelée under eyes and brow bone.  Bass used it to “…decreases puffiness instantly which helps since Tina doesn’t get much sleep with a new baby at home!”
  3. Next, she applied Votre Vu Sensational Eyes Eye Primer in Medium on lids for a flawless eye makeup base.
  4. Create a well-defined brow using the “amazing” Votre Vu Wonder Brow in Ev,a which helped to emphasize Tina’s natural arch.
  5. Smooth on Votre Vu Champagne Kisses Lip Enhancing Balm to hydrate and prevent lipstick from bleeding and feathering.
  6. To set the look and create a silky finish, Gita dusted on Votre Vu Mineral Powder in Light all over the face.

Gita finished by applying the deliciously scented Votre Vu Tarte D’Amande Body Creme to décolletage, arms and legs for a gorgeous, well moisturized sheen.

Jason Wu for Target will be sold online and in stores with a collection of scarves and totes.  The designer is also knocking off his signature pet Miss Wu, an owl that graces many of his high end accessories.  In her place comes MiLu, a curious curled up cat.

While nothing is like the real deal, this Jason Wu line is definitely the look for less.  This 53 piece collection inspired by An American in Paris is sure to be a sellout like Missoni, so plan your shopping accordingly.

Event, Chicago: Chanel SS 2012 Trunk Show Today, Newly Designed Space

The Neiman Marcus redesigned Chanel shop on Magnificent Mile holds first trunk show for ss 2012 season

Today from 10am – 4pm, explore the new Chanel space inside Neiman Marcus and get first view of the SS 2012 collection.  Three months in the making, the new shop was designed by architect Peter Marino who designs for all Chanel locations worldwide.  The revamped space boasts a multi-panel video column which features current season runway video, gilded bamboo-like textured wallpaper, and crimson seating with gold accent pillows.

A  focal point that is unique to the Chicago location is the inclusion of a distinct arched window.  Wendy Krimins, vice president and general manager of Neiman Marcus said she knew that the windows overlooking the city were on the other side of the wall and was pleased when the decision was made to expose the view.  Tearing down the wall and fitting new glass panes was a challenge, but the end result is a dramatic backdrop to shop.

The new space also showcases select accessories such as jewelry, shoes and handbags.  Chanel is redesigning their handbag area on the first floor of the store with square footage equaling the boutique.  The new look should be completed by April.

Chanel SS 2012 trunk show will be held from 10am – 4pm,  Wednesday January 11

  • 737 North Michigan
  • Chicago, IL 60611

Project Runway All Stars Kicks off January 5 on Lifetime

Second shot at stardom, contestants vie for winning collection to be sold in five Neiman Marcus locations and online at NeimanMarcus.com

Neiman Marcus Fashion Director Ken Downing as guest judge | Lifetime, Thursday January 5th at 8pm. Check local listings

Project Runway and the highly anticipated All Stars season is about to begin!  What do you think about these 13 designers battling out for a second round?  None of the All Stars include any season winners, so it will be a chance to let new talent shine.  The spotlight certainly is on the entertaining Scarlett, no?  Will we see as many ball gowns as we did Season 1?

Project Runway has upped the ante for this “fan favorite” based season and partnered with Neiman Marcus on several counts:

  • Second, the famous Project Runway wall?  Neiman Marcus is known for fabulous accessories, and the wall will be adorned with selections for the designers .  When the designers get the call to style-out their looks, they’ll be selecting pieces from NM to complete the look.
  • Last but not least: The All Stars victor will see his or her collection in five Neiman Marcus locations as well as online at NeimanMarcus.com (Can you imagine seeing your own line in a shopping destination like Neiman Marcus? Dream come true!)

The show will provide tension, angst and textile eye candy for 12 weeks and is hosted by Angela Lindvall.  Judges include Joanna Coles (Editor of Marie Claire), Georgina Chapman and Isaac Mizrahi.

Project Runway: All Stars lineup includes – Kenley Collins ( season five), Michael Costello (season eight), Gordana Gehlhausen (season six), Mondo Guerra (season eight), Mila Hermanovski (season seven), Kara Janx (season two), Elisa Jimenez (season four), April Johnston (season eight), Rami Kashou (season four), Austin Scarlett (season one), Jerell Scott (season five), Sweet P/Kathleen Vaughn (season four) and Anthony Williams (season seven).
