I almost didn't recognize Desperate Housewives star Andrea Bowen, who made a red carpet appearance last night in support of Eva Longoria's new film. Typically, Andrea's makeup is minimal, fresh, and young, but this is all out. Her skin looks flawless, however the bold lipstick paired with heavy eyes is just more apparent than I am used to. Which lip look do you like better on Ms. Bowen?

What Color Lipstick Do You Like Better on Nicollette Sheridan?

Nicollette Sheridan is a good friend to her coworkers. Last night in Los Angeles, she stepped out to enjoy some Spanish grub and support the opening of Beso, her pal Eva Longoria's restaurant. She wore a flirty red dress that she matched with her lipstick - a big change compared to the platinum dress and nude lips she sported for Eva's Over Her Dead Body Premiere last month. Changing your lipstick color can do so much for your eyes. Which shade do you prefer on Nicollette?

Inside the International Makeup Artist Trade Show

Over the weekend, I attended the 2008 International Makeup Artist Trade Show, an event that showcases products, educators, and speakers who are involved in the makeup and skin-care world for television and film. It's also a place where makeup artists can purchase products and tools at a discount.

I didn't know what to expect from the show, but seeing a naked man wearing nothing but a flesh-colored thong and body paint was certainly a shock. I was also surprised to see so many zombies and ghouls walking around in broad daylight - I guess I just never really thought about special-effects makeup as part of the cosmetics genre.

Some of the brands in attendance were MAC Pro (a division of MAC for makeup professionals), Dermalogica, Fuse FX, Dead Sea Premiere, and several air-brush companies. I also checked out offerings from Eve Pearl, a five-time Emmy-winning TV makeup artist who is about to launch her own line of products. Another new discovery was Hakuhodo, a manufacturer of high-quality cosmetic brushes (they make MAC brushes).

Throughout the week I'll be sharing all the insights about new collections, techniques, products, brands, and even an interview from one of MAC Pro's top artists with you. But for now, check out photos from the event below including painted bodies and skin effects!
