BellaSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:00:23 -0800

Nicole Kidman turns up on the red carpet with a flawless hair and makeup combo each and every time. Last night, she showed up at the Oscars in soft, feminine makeup and a pretty sideswept bun.

Her makeup artist for the evening, Angela Levin, created Nicole's look with Chanel products. To find out how to get this look for yourself, read more.

Face: Nicole's skin was given a light layer of foundation and a touch of concealer to even out her skin tone.
Eyes: Angela wanted to give Nicole a dramatic, smoky eye. To do this, she used Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadows in Silvery and Ebony on the lids, and then lined the eyes with Chanel Le Crayon Khol Intense Eye Pencil in Graphite and Noir to make Nicole's sky-blue eyes really pop. She finished off the eyes with a generous coating of Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Noir.
Lips: Angela painted Nicole's pout in a soft, pretty shade of pink by using Chanel Rouge Allure in Darling.

At the 2007 Country Music Awards, Sheryl Crow wowed the red carpet. Her hair was soft and wavy, her outfit was classy, and her makeup was polished.

I especially like the way her nude lips sparkle, taking years off of her face. Clearly there's more than just talent that makes this lady a shining country music star! The magic behind her makeup is none other than Chanel's secret weapon, makeup artist Angela Levin.

FACE: Angela actually stopped over to see Sheryl the night before to prep her skin with some Chanel Sublimage Cream so that it would be nice and hydrated for the event. The day of the event, she applied some Hydramax Plus Tinted Moisturizer in Sand to her face and then added some Cle de Peau Cream Foundation on top for more coverage.
CHEEKS: Then, to warm up the apples of her cheeks a little bit, she added a dusting of Senna Cosmetics bronzer and highlighter combo in Radiance Face Color Trio and blended along her cheekbones.
EYES: The goal was to create a natural, yet polished and defined eye. Angela began by blending the colors in the Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Golden Eyes together and then adding in some of Senna Cosmetics Double Effect Creamline Powder Duo in Midnight Magic. She finished the look with two coats of Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Noir.
LIPS: Lastly to create Sheryl's shiny, nude mouth, Angela applied a little bit of Herbal Lip Therapy in Cherry Almond and then topped them off with a special, sparkly Chanel Glossimer Lip Gloss in Sunset Gold.

FACE: Angela began by priming Jennifer's skin with Benefit's Dr. Feelgood. She then added a little bit of Chanel's gorgeous Teint Innocence Fluide in Wheat mixed with some Cle de Peau Teint Naturel Powder Creme in O30 as a base.
CHEEKS: Next, she applied some of Stila Convertible Cheek Color in Orchid (which is discontinued now, FYI) to the apples of her cheeks and blended outward. And so that her skin didn't look too shiny, she added a touch of Chanel Silky Cheek Colour in In Love to her cheekbones. This is also a great contour color.
EYES: To create this clean, smoldering look that makes Jen's blue eyes pop, Angela used Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Ebony, to the crease and then blended in the colors from the Les Divines Mattes Quadra Eyeshadow, also by Chanel. Next, she applied some of Nars Cream Shadow in Demon Lover. As a final touch, Angela layered on two coats of Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Noir.
LIPS: For this perfect pink shimmery lip, Angela applied Chanel Glossimer Lip Gloss in Bel-Air to Jennifer's lips.

How-To: Jennifer Connelly's Makeup From The Hollywood Film Festival

BellaSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 16:00:40 -0700

At the Hollywood Film Festival, Jennifer Connelly arrived on the red carpet with flawless makeup and the hocus-pocus bob. As usual, her skin looked amazing and her green eyes shined.

If you are interested in finding out just how Chanel makeup artist Angela Levin created this red carpet look for Jennifer Connelly, read more

FACE: Angela began her work on Jennifer after her face was washed and moisturized. While it was still a little bit dewy, she added some Cle de Peau Pre Makeup Emulsion, rubbed it in well and then applied a light coat of Chanel Teint Innocence Fluide in Cameo as a base.
CHEEKS: Next, she applied a little bit of Chanel Joues Contrast Powder Blush in Nude to the apples of her cheeks and blended outward toward her hairline. This is a very light blush used to create a warmth and is often paired with red lipstick, since it won't overpower the skin.
EYES: Since Jennifer has such gorgeous eyes, Angela decided to keep the color simple-but she wanted to make them bright, too. She created this look by beginning with a light layer of Sublimage Eye Cream to prep the skin and then she added some Chanel Ultra Correction Total Eye Revitalizer. The only shadow used was a little bit of Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Lotus in the crease, and the look was complete with two coats of Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Noir.
LIPS: Jennifer is wearing Chanel's gorgeous new holiday 2007 lipstick, Rouge Allure in Dazzling. It's a deep red that looks great on most skin tones since it's got a slight berry tint and an ultra-creamy texture.

Skin: After moisturizing Jennifer's skin, Levin applied Chanel Lift Lumiere foundation in Beige, concealing undereye circles with the matching concealer. Instead of blush, she dabbed Hydrabase lipstick in Coco Red on the apples of Jennifer's cheeks. After that, she dotted Sheer Brilliance in Sunkissed around the tops of Jen's cheekbones. (This captures light with a slight shimmer.) A bit of powder bronzer gave Jen a sunny glow.
Eyes: Jen wore Lorac eye shadows in Jade (green) and Serenity (bronze), along with Tina Earnshaw shadow in Aubergine. She closely lined the top and bottom lashes with black eye shadow. A coat of Chanel Inimitable mascara in black finished the look.

How-To: Blake Lively's Makeup at the Golden Globe Awards

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:45:35 -0800

Last night, Blake Lively stepped out in a gown (that most of you hated) and very casual hair for the red carpet. However, her makeup's spot on. She typically chooses similar beauty looks for the red carpet and on the set of Gossip Girl. As the saying goes: "If it's not broken . . ."

Makeup artist Angela Levin, working with Chanel, created last night's look for Blake. To find out how to recreate it at home, read more.

Face: Apply foundation and concealer where necessary. Follow up with Chanel Les Tissages De Chanel in Tweed Rose on the apples of cheeks. To add a bit of bronze shimmer, apply just a touch of Sheer Brillance in Sunkissed after that.
Eyes: Blend all four shades from Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes on the lids. To make eyes pop, continue with several layers of Exceptionnel De Chanel Mascara in Smoky Noir on your lashes.
Lips: With more makeup on your eyes, choose a natural color like Blake's Chanel Glossimer in Beige Guitare to keep your lips simple.
