I can honestly spend hours looking at the close ups of the makeup from the red carpet. It gives a lot of inspiration! This is why I was very excited to look at all the MET Gala photos.

I actually have details on how to get the look of Mary-Kate Olsen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Bosworth and Kirsten Dunst.

It does not mean that you have to copy their looks but you can use it as your inspiration.

Kate Bosworth

“We created really glowing skin with a strong matte brow, and matte lip. It’s all about the lip!” said Dubroff.

Mary-Kate Olsen

“Mary-Kate wanted her makeup to look tonal, earthy and utterly feminine,” says makeup artist Molly R. Stern. “It’s very modern and matte. The secret to pulling it off is imbuing the cheeks with a spot of color.”

Skin

Molly first hydrated the skin with Natura Bisse C+C Vitamin Cream and primed with Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer to ensure the longevity of her makeup. She followed with Hourglass Veil Fluid Makeup in Ivory for light, sheer coverage and created a matte finish with Oxygen Mineral Powder #2.

 Cheeks

To create contour and warmth in the cheeks, Molly first applied the bronze shade of Hourglass Illume Crème-To-Powder Bronzer Duo in Sunset to the base of the cheek bone. She then used Hourglass Aura Sheer Cheek Stain in Petal on the apples of the cheeks and blended the two products. “With a look as neutral as this you need to give the cheeks some life,” she says.

 Eyes

Molly combined the two shades of Hourglass Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo in Gypsy with the taupe shade from Hourglass Vol. 6 Eye Shadow Palette to add depth and shadow to the eye crease and top and bottom lash line. For more intensity, she lined the inside of the upper lash line with Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner in Cognac, a chocolate shade. For an understated lash look, Molly applied Hourglass Film Noir Lash Lacquer to the bottom lashes only, leaving the top ones bare. “I wanted to subtly tint the lower lashes,” she says, explaining why she used the lash topcoat.

Lips

To create a berry stain, Molly pressed Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick in Nocturnal, a plum wine shade, into the center of her top and bottom lip. “The goal was to make it look like she had been eating berries,” says Molly.  She added, “Mary-Kate is an amazing collaborator who likes to push the boundaries.”

Gwyneth Paltrow

Makeup artist Emma Lovell drew inspiration from Gwyneth Paltrow’s dramatic Prada dress and her tight chignon when devising the star’s luminous look.

Burberry Summer 2012 makeup collection Iconic Nudes includes five products, a limited edition compact for face and four new shades of the sheer lipsticks Lip Mist.

Sheer Summer Glow Natural Highlighting Compact, £34/$50

I really love the idea of the compact with four shades as you can use each one separately or mix them together. It can be used as a highlighter or bronzer depending on your skin tone.

There are so many amazing new nail polish releases. I have picked up three that I caught my attention.

First of all, there is this new butter LONDON Lillibet’s Jubilee Nail Lacquer which is created to celebrate  Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

It is described as a silvery, lavendar metallic foil, heavily infused with holographic glitter.

There is also a new Nails Inc  Arcade collection with four sparkly nail polishes which should look nice on their own and on top of other shade.

• Piccadilly Arcade Nail Jewellery, Emerald nail jewellery
• Burlington Arcade Nail Jewellery, Diamond nail jewellery
• Royal Arcade Nail Jewellery, Sapphire

Yves Saint Laurent is celebrating the cult product Touche Eclat’s 20th year of success this year. And there is actually one more very exciting thing! Touche Eclat foundation which, according to WWD, YSL was working on for ten years. There should be 22 shades which will be available from June.

Here is a preview. Who else is excited?

I was browsing Stila makeup at Feel Unique the other day and found this video which shows the products in action really well.

Unfortunately, most of the products I wanted to get were out of stock including the Stila blush I wanted to get for my friend’s Birthday, as FU had 10 % off so I’ve got only the following things.
