Brush It Off

Fact: Bobbi Brown can vouch that a make-up application is only as good as the brush you use to apply it.

Essentials: Foundation, Blush, Bronzer, Eye-Shadow, Blending, and Eye-brow brush

Investment: A majority of make-up brushes will be anywhere between $30-65, but I will say it's worth every penny and your results are priceless.



MAC Cosmetics: Foundation brush is amazing and provides a flawless finish.

Be kind: Clean it every day or depending on usage - any shampoo will suffice and be sure to let the brush dry on a flat surface.

An Eye for an Eye

Emphasize: False lashes and liquid liner are key players in accentuating the beauty of Asian eyes.

Advantage: The more space on your lid, the better options you have to play with fun colors!

Designer Face

Award shows are an opportune time to let your inner diva shine with not only a designer gown, but a designer face!

Hollywood's leading ladies have access to the world's most talented make-up artists, so I'm especially interested in how styles are applied based on the dress, and how it all comes together when they are strutting down the red carpet...

Kate: Classy, natural, and flawless.

Tip: When wearing a bold color, keep your make-up natural!

Drew: Love her transformation in the last few years!

Love: Her color choices in a berry lip, dark brows, and rosy cheeks.

Hayden: Navy blue is super sexy.
Must: A smokey eye with a natural lip an ideal look when you are wearing a dark color.

Cameron: Red is a bold color that can be worn year round in my opinion
Avoid: Wearing a red dress, with red lipstick? Negative.
