Make-up took center stage at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday evening. As we beauty pros know, you can dress a star in the finest finery, but if your face isn’t beat, you may as well stay home.
I often get asked by aspiring make-up artists for that one piece of information that will not only help their careers, but make them better artists. —David Maderich
Wow—what a thrill it was to be nominated for 2010 NAHA Makeup Artist of the Year! Since this was my first nomination, I was a nervous wreck—so many parties and events. I was honored, but the main thing on my mind was: I didn’t have a thing to wear.
Prom and wedding season is right around the corner, my darlings. As
makeup artists, we need to give our clients that extra dose of glamor
for these special events.
I loved the Oscars – the dresses, the hairstyles – but most importantly, the makeup. Sandra
Bullock channeled old Hollywood glamour in a gold sheath that she had
to be sewn into – how glam is that! She kept her hair simple and wowed
the crowds with bright red lips that perfectly complimented her winning
smile.
