The Look of the Oscars

I love watching the Oscars and the main reason is to see all of the latest hair and makeup trends. This year, I had some of my faves and I want to share them with you!

I've always thought Angelina is stunning (eventhough I think she's gotten way too skinny). However, her makeup and hair always looks simple but oh, so classy. This year again, she had her signature cat eye and she added those red lips for glamour. Well done!

I just love Emma Stone. She seems like the kind of girl you want to have as your friend.  Since her dress was  high on the neck, she made the right choice by doing a slick updo. Again, we see the cat eye with the winged eyeliner. 

I thought Gwenyth Paltrow looked very beautiful this year. She always has very simple hair and makeup, but I think it really works for her. 

Loved J.Lo's glam makeup and hair! She often does the high bun on top of her head, but the makeup was a bit different than usual. Interesting white shadow on top of the black liner... 

Here we see the winged cat eye eyeliner again... LOVE her hair. However, I would've chosen a different color dress fro her with that beautiful red hair.

I loved Penelope's look! Vintage but classic

I just love the combo of black hair, pale skin, blue eyes and red lips! What a transformation from  her character in the 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'

Help with Puffy Eyes

I hate puffy eyes in the morning and I'm sure you do too! My clients always ask me how they can get rid of puffiness. Well, there's no way to get rid of it, but here are some ways you can make it better.

1. Find an eye cream that has caffeine in it and store it in the fridge. Origins and MAC make a great one.The caffeine and the coolness will help constrict blood vessles , which can alleviate swelling.

2. You can also massage the are with a roller ball which manually pushes the liquid out. Sephora and Olay make nice ones.

3. If you want a natural remedy, try making ice cubes out of chamomile tea and put them on the eye to de-puff. You can also use the good old trick of putting cucumbers.
