Love It or Hate It? Julianne Moore in Paris

BellaSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 06:00:16 -0800

Thankfully, Julianne Moore's blond dye job was just for a role, and she's back to her red-headed glory. Yesterday, at an event celebrating the 150th anniversary of Boucheron, she showed off her red hair and paired it with an intense smoky eye-a look she doesn't wear too often. What do you think of this look on her?

Fab Flash: Julianne Supports Charity at Fashion Week

BellaSugar — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 12:46:33 -0800

Although the lovely Julianne Moore was not planning on going to any shows for Fall 2007 Fashion Week, she did make one exception.

Both the brand and the creative head of the French fashion company Lacoste, Christophe Lemaire, support her charity Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance. On February 3rd, decked out in cute Lacoste gear, Julianne made her way to the Bryant Park tents to support the cause which she so strongly believes in.

She says,

“Lacoste is a major corporate sponsor of the Giant Steps to the Cure gala I’m co-chairing with Tiki Barber on April 12. Attending their show was the least I could do. My kids wear Lacoste-I never did when I was young because I didn’t have enough money-and now I can go home and tell them what will be in for fall. But if anyone wants to buy a table for April, call me!”

Do You Have a Nickname Based on a Beauty Feature?

BellaSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:00:12 -0700

Kids (and sometimes adults) can be so cruel. In fact, Julianne Moore even wrote two books in regards to her childhood nickname, Freckleface Strawberry, which she despised. As for me, I didn't really have a nickname growing up, other than simple variations of my first name. But of course, there were a select few who had to badger me about those freckles: freckle face, freckle juice, or simply a very pre-Sawyeresque "freckles," were all the norm. What about you? Whether you were a red-headed "carrot top," a light-haired "blondie," or a spectacle-wearing "four-eyes," did you have - or do you currently have - a nickname based on a beauty feature?

New Makeup Alert: Hourglass Cosmetics

BellaSugar — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 11:04:44 -0700

Introducing LA's newest makeup brand, Hourglass Cosmetics. This new line of luxury makeup is hip, chic and loaded with skincare benefits. It's also on the down low. Currently Hourglass does not do any advertising, yet has a star studded fab following with clients such as: Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Naomi Watts.

The line consists of: liquid VEIL foundation, powder, concealer, bronzing powder, blush, lipstick, lip gloss, eye liner, lip liner, mascara and many brushes.

My favorite items are the eye and cheek Hourglass Passage and Color Link Palettes. These palettes contain six eye shadows and two silky powder blushes which all contain Vitamin E to fight aging.

There are five versions of the Color Link Palette ($55) and they come in a beautiful Passage Leather Case ($75). Once you buy the case, you can pop the other palettes in and out for versatility!

Also, did I mention that their powder is made with caffeine to help reduce puffiness? Now that you're in the know - shop away. Prices range from $15-$145.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Jackie Rogers

BellaSugar — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 17:05:55 -0800

Jackie Rogers began her career as an original model for Coco Chanel, a singer, a movie starlet and eventually an owner of a NYC boutique. She made it a point to work with the exciting "Mademoiselle" on some of her collections all the while absorbing her technique. Jackie now has her own line which is no doubt inspired by her mentor. They are classy, creative and extremely elegant.

On Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of attending her show - and at a rather unexpected location. The setting was at Scores West (yes, the strip club) and the theme, "After The Deluge" was influenced by the 30's Bauhaus Movement in Berlin, Paris and New York around the time of WWII.

The clothing was delivered in three phases. The first was black, white, grey and silver fabrics adorned with ruffles, patent leather bow belts, fetish bustiers and silk flowers. The second introduced both bright and muted fall colored day wear in softer fabrics accented with sable and silver-fox hoods and trim. The third displayed evening wear in flowy satin jewel tones as well as ethereal silver/gold lame gowns. The collection consisted of an array of suits, cocktail dresses, formal dresses, skirts and tops for both chic young women as well as the older seductress.

Although there were a team of hair and makeup artists behind the show, Maria Ashe was the lady with the vision. As the president of beauty ADDICTS Makeup Company, she collaborated with Jackie Rogers to come up with the strong and confident beauty look.

There was no color applied to the face; only foundation and contouring. This made the splash of red on the lips the show stopper. There was also sealant added to the lips to keep them shiny as well as ensure they wouldn't feather, fade or bleed during clothing changes.

The eyes were something really special. They were created with the solutionEYES Seduce Palette with heavy eyeliner and no false eyelashes - just gobs and gobs of mascara, reminiscent of the 30's style of makeup. Next, to create a lacquered effect, white gold lip gloss was applied over the dark shadow as well as below the brow bone as a highlighter.

Overall, I was very impressed with the collection, it is definitely for a woman looking to make a statement. It is no surprise that Jackie has dressed so many recognizable women such as: Lee Radziwell, Jackie Onassis, Diana Ross, Nicoke Kidman, Condaleeza Rice, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, and Salma Hayek.
