New York makeup artist Tina Turnbow for NYX Cosmetics created the striking look seen at the Imitation by Tara Subkoff presentation
“The makeup for the Imitation presentation was inspired by designer, Tara Subkoff’s love of YSL, Helmut Newton and Debbie Harry,” said Tina Turnbow, Makeup Artist for NYX Cosmetics. “We collaborated together to create a look by NYX Cosmetics that was bold, yet distinctly feminine. I used dark shades of brown and taupe to give the eye dimension and then rimmed with black, kohl liner to enhance it and make it really pop. Because the eyes had a lot of shine and dimension, I wanted to keep the lip matte, but create something slightly different than the flat, bold color we’re seeing all over the runway. Therefore, I used a mixture of rust and grape colors that melded together for a unique finish and then blurred the edges for a modern 70s feel.”

Rashida Jones stepped onto the red carpet at the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards looking striking and elegant. Her red carpet look was created with the help of Makeup Artist Jo Strettell for Maybelline New York. Jo was inspired by Rashida’s vivacious personality and created a look using Maybelline New York’s latest products. To complement her dusty pink dress, Jo kept Rashida’s makeup classic and pretty. A dramatic eye and vibrant lip added unexpected edge and modernized the look.
I just love Rashida Jones. When I found out her makeup look for the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards consisted of Maybelline products, I knew I had to share with you all. I just love it when celebrities use drugstore products for big events!

Whether you’re planning a walk down the aisle or just a walk down the red-or blue!-carpet, take a cue from a few of the gorgeous gals at the Something Borrowed premiere and go neutral with your nails!


Try a sandy neutral hue like Ginnifer Goodwin with Better Together from the new Wedding Collection from Essie.


If you prefer your neutral with a touch of pink like newly engaged Kristin Cavallari, try Made To Honor from the new Wedding Collection from Essie.

Willow Smith whips her hair up into a funky updo and I love it. I was getting tired of her long braids.

I always love Selena Gomez’s look. She always looks so pretty and put together. By the way, is it me or do her legs get longer and longer? Or maybe her hem line gets shorter and shorter?
