Well another show has come and gone and I have to say I was a little disappointed with the hair and makeup this year. Many of the women attending played it safe with hairstyles that were either pulled back in a loose bun or off the face and held back with lots of bobby pins and hairspray.

How does Jennifer Aniston keep her skin glowing? Well a great make-up artist and facialist don’t hurt, but this is a girl who pampers her skin and it shows!

As a make-up artist I have been called many things over the years, from mom, to beauty expert, to “I don’t know, do what you think” and just recently my friends Matt Titus and Tamsen Fadel of Whyhasnthe called me a beauty guru.

“Uma Thurman has said she doesn’t care about ending up on the worst dressed list because she only wears what makes her happy.
The ‘Pulp Fiction’ star made the worst dressed list at the 2004 Oscars, but she says she enjoys being different and doesn’t care what people think.”
And I say good for her. That’s the way we should be going. If we are happy with our chosen style, then who cares what anyone else thinks. Actually, I think she looks pretty good!!
