Sad news: Paul Starr, the influential makeup artist to celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Madonna and Bjork, was found dead at his Los Angeles apartment Tuesday. Starr was the first in-house makeup artist for Estee Lauder, the founding Beauty Editor of Flaunt magazine, and the author of On Beauty: Conversations with Thirty Celebrated Women (which includes original interviews with Lindsay Lohan, Pam Grier, Britney Spears, and Joni Mitchell, among others).

Who's Your Favorite Celebrity Makeup Artist?

BellaSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:00:10 PDT

Celebrity makeup artists can command upwards of $10,000 a day for their services. Multiply that by all the days in the year, plus double-duty when it comes time for awards seasons, and you've got yourself one outrageous salary. All of these artists have loyal celebrity clients that request their company across the globe, wherever it is they may be working. Can you guess who some of their famous-faced clients are? I think that Paul Starr is a genius, and I love the natural effect that Nick Barose achieves. Who is your favorite celebrity makeup artist?

Bella Book: Paul Starr on Beauty

BellaSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:00:22 PST

Last week I picked up a copy of Paul Starr on Beauty: Conversations with Thirty Celebrated Women ($22.76) and I've already read it cover to cover. Paul Starr is a celebrity makeup artist whose hands have touched dozens of star studded faces including Pamela Anderson, Salma Hayek, Michelle Pfeiffer, Angelina Jolie, Meg Ryan and one of his personal favorites Jennifer Garner. In the early 80s, he moved to Los Angeles without having any formal makeup training and by 2002 he became so successful that he collaborated with Estee Lauder on a collection.

The book contains oodles of flawless close-up shots, a blurb about each celebrity and a series of interview questions. The topics include everything from what the celebs carry in their makeup bag, how they feel about plastic surgery, how they define beauty, and their personal fountain of youth.

In addition, celebrity looks from the book have been broken down and are accompanied by highlighted diagrams so you are clear about which part of the face he is referencing.

Since the book contains 30 separate interviews, you can pick it up and put it down without losing your place. It's an easy and entertaining read that anyone who loves beauty and beautiful famous women would enjoy reading.

How-To: Jennifer Garner's Glamour Girl Makeup Look

BellaSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 08:00:00 PST

Jennifer Garner looked radiant at the 2007 Glamour Women of the Year Event Monday evening in New York City. Her beauty looks peaceful and serene in these photos - the sign of a woman who is truly glowing from the inside out!

But as happy as I'd like to believe that Jennifer is, the magical hands of famous celebrity makeup artist Paul Starr have also helped (just a little bit) create this fresh faced, ethereal look.

For a full list of products used on Jennifer and tips and techniques on how Paul Starr created this polished look, read more

FACE: Paul began by applying a light layer of Teint Innocence Naturally Luminous Fluid Makeup in Natural Beige all over Jennifer's face and the retouching any dark, red or uneven spots with Chanel Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Creme Concealer in Candlelight . He believes that the essence of a woman should come through on her makeup. Since Jennifer is so down to earth, he didn't want to use anything too dark or heavy on her skin.
CHEEKS : Next, Paul blended a touch of nude-peach Nars Penny Lane Cream Blush onto the apples of her cheeks and blended outward toward her hair line. This creates a warm and natural-looking effect.
EYES: Jennifer's eyes glistened from Chanel's Quadra Eyeshadow in Shimmering Dunes and a smidgen of Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Gold smudged gently under the lower lash line. Next, Paul lined her top and bottom lash lines with Chanel Intense Eye Pencil in Noir and finished off the look with two mascaras; Inimitable Mascara in Noir on the top lashes and a bright colored Chanel Lash Building Mascara in Violet on the bottom lashes. Aw, even Paul couldn't resist using some violet somewhere. I am sure Jennifer appreciated this little nod to her little bundle of joy.
LIPS: Lastly, Paul brightened up Jennifer's lips with one of the world's most famous colors - Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick and topped them off with a little bit of Chanel Glossimer in Glaze for shine.

Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell Are Married - See the Pictures!

Molly Goodson — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 06:34:53 PDT

Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell got married at the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London on Sunday. Nancy wore a knee-length white dress with flowers in her hair. Both the bride's dress and Paul's suit were custom pieces made especially for the event by his daughter, designer Stella McCartney. Paul and Nancy have been together since 2007 and got engaged in May. His youngest daughter, 7-year-old Beatrice, served as the flower girl for the ceremony. It was a relatively low-key affair, attended by about 30 of their closest friends and family. Some of the guests included Barbara Walters as well as fellow Beatle Ringo Star and his wife Barbara Bach, and George Harrison's widow Olivia. Congrats to the newlyweds Paul and Nancy!
