Golden Globes 2012 - Zooey Deschanel

Here we go! It’s your GG beauty coverage—and my goodness, there are a lot of celebs to view and discuss! (Um, 25, to be exact.)

My overall observation? There was a lot more experimentation going on with the hair than the makeup. And of course, as is the case with every awards show, a whole bunch of celebs stuck with the can’t-go-wrong updo and nude makeup combo. It’s boring for beauty editors, but it works.

Shall we do something different this time and start with my least favourite looks first? (You know, the automatic ABORT ABORT ABORTs.) Then, we’ll talk about the mushy middle, and finally get to my favourites of the night. Let’s dig in! Keep reading »

Drew Barrymore hair

Just when we were ready to put Ombré to bed, Drew Barrymore has gone and resurrected it. I’m not sure how I feel about this because as you know, I said it was over months ago (when I ditched my blah brown Ombré for a strawberry blonde-tastic double-process ‘do). Maybe I need to reconsider.

And that’s not all that’s happening in beauty this week. Movember is in full force, the Country Music Awards happened, Adriana Lima revealed how she gets in shape for a Victoria’s Secret fashion show, Gwyneth Paltrow has a makeup tutorial… and I decided there ARE some exceptions to my anti-nail art stance. Let’s discuss! Keep reading »

Elizabeth Olsen - ELLE Women in Hollywood Tribute 2011

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? Of course not, which is why ELLE magazine is only too happy to accommodate with its annual Women in Hollywood tribute in L.A. They’ve been doing this event for 18 years, apparently, and it’s a nice little bridge to get us through until the People’s Choice Awards roll around in early ’12.

If Fashion Week isn’t really your thing and you’ve been hankering for a good celebrity beauty-fest, then you’ll want to dive into this one. It was pretty much all A-list, and even brought out a few faces—Freida Pinto, Katherine Heigl, Naomi Watts—that we really don’t get to see that often. (Some may argue that in the case of Katherine Heigl, that’s a good thing. But I digress.) Anyway, mostly I would like to pay my own tribute to Elizabeth Olsen, who I think has replaced Olivia Wilde, and maybe even Emma Stone before her (!), as the new object of my beauty affection. But let’s take a look at everyone’s hair and makeup choices… Keep reading »
