Okay, I may not have been kind with coverage of our last red carpet event. But either I am in a better mood today or the stars at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards last night really did pull it together beauty-wise.
It was a very A-list affair, with attendees like the Jennifers (Aniston and Lopez) and a Jessica (Alba), plus Kerry Washington and my beauty crush Emma Stone. Somehow Lea Michele snuck into the party (one of these things is not like the others), but surprisingly she had one of my favourite beauty looks of the night! Come check ‘em all out… Keep reading »
We all know awards season in Hollywood runs January through March—but is it really realistic to expect celebs to go the rest of the year without celebrating themselves?

And then there is the not insignificant fact that you are unable to actually see, which further complicates the matter of makeup application.
Reader Melissa knows exactly what I’m talking about. She writes:
