Teen Beauty: Ashley Greene at theTeen Choice Awards!

/

Celebrity makeup artist, Vanessa Scali, made “Twilight” hottie Ashley Greene sizzle on the red carpet last night at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.

Since Ashley was wearing a light blue bustier top and flowery skirt by Dolce & Gabbana, Scali wanted to create a look that was sweet, summery and sexy.

“I wanted Ashley to have radiant skin, so I used shu uemura’s new red:juvenus skincare line first using the Vitalizing Refining Lotion followed by the Intense Revitalizing Concentrate,” said Scali. “These products feel weightless and penetrate quickly leaving the skin energized, refined and radiant.”

To complete the look, Scali gave Ashley, the winner of Teen Choice’s “Fresh Face”, a beautiful shimmery taupe eye and a well-blushed cheek. To recreate Ashley’s look, Scali suggests you take the following steps:

SKIN PREP: Two shu uemura red:juvenus products were used: Vitalizing Refining Lotion followed by Intense Revitalizing Concentrate. These products really made Ashley’s skin glow, creating the perfect canvas for makeup.

UNDEREYE: Lancôme’s Effacernes in Light Bisque. It gives clean, fresh coverage.

FOUNDATION: shu uemura Nobara Cream

Teen Beauty: Hot at the Teen Choice Awards.

Hey, it's Caci. My Mom runs Beautiful Makeup Search and she is going to let me start writing a few teen related posts for her now and then. We both think today is a great time to start as they just taped the Teen Choice Awards and I need to talk about beauty. Who was hot... who was not. Unfortunately, it doesn't air until later tonight, but we can look through a few pictures now and dish a bit, can't we?

I think that Miranda Cosgrove looked adorable. I love the soft curls in her hair. Her makeup was natural and perfect for a girl her age.


Emily Osmet looked beautiful. She really looks prettier than I ever saw her before. I love her hair pulled to one side and flipped back a bit. Her eyes are smoking hot. I can't wait until I can wear eye makeup like that. Her dress was really cute too.

 

Hayden Panettiere looked pretty in her pink dress. I liked her soft tan and pink lipstick to accent her look. Close-up, I think her eyebrows were too angular (is that a word?) and her eye liner and eyelashes were a bit over the top. Besides that, she still gets the hot vote from me.

Kim Kardashian - love her show - shocked with her new heavily highlighted blonder hair. It looks like her whole hair color is a bit lighter all over too. I wonder if it is for real this time or only temporary. It really looks beautiful on her. She never looks bad no matter what she does. But she really looks like a true California girl with her blonder hair.

Her darker hair is really growing on me. Ashley Tisdale always looks cute. I really like her smoky eye too and I like that it's done up a bit darker now that her hair is much darker.

Last, one of my favorite teen girls is Selena Gomez. She looked really pretty in this soft purple with really pretty lavender eye makeup. Her lip color looked like a really natural pink too. So pretty. She has such a cute face and it was nice to see her wear her hair curly then pulled back. Her dress might be a little over dressy for the Teen Choice Awards, but she still rocked it.

I will be back tomorrow with my "NOT" version of the girls that didn't look so hot.

Who was your "HOT" choice at the Teen Choice Awards?

Elizabeth Banks Joins Beyoncé Knowles and Eva Longoria Parker for her First L’Oréal Paris TV Ad.

L’Oréal Paris recently debuted its first television commercial featuring its newest spokesperson, actress Elizabeth Banks. Banks was on hand to promote the brand’s new True Match Super-Blendable Compact Makeup. Elizabeth recently signed an exclusive worldwide contract as a spokesperson for the beauty company and its brands. This new television advertising features Banks alongside longtime L’Oréal Paris spokespeople, Beyoncé Knowles and Eva Longoria Parker. The full commercial just began airing this week.

I think that Elizabeth is a super choice to represent L’Oréal Paris along side the other women.

Here is a little behind the scenes look at the making of the commercial.

 

 

I have yet to see it all come together on TV, but it sure will be fun to watch it now that I saw a bit about it in the making. Have you seen the commercial yet? More importantly, have you tried the new True Match Super-Blendable Compact Makeup yet?
