This Week's Spotlight: Emma Stone


Miss Emma Stone, January 2012

It's Award Season in Hollywood! Yes it's that time of year again where the red carpet rolls out, and the fashion police will be able to meet their quota! Among all the stars that were present at the Golden Globes a couple of weeks ago, was this fiery gem, Emma Stone. The first time I saw Emma was in Superbad, where she played the super cool crush of Jonah Hill. Emma's career has really skyrocketed since then, and her fashion and makeup gets more and more glamorous throughout the years!

Here's how to give yourself Emma's Golden Globe look.

Step 1- Keep it very light on your face. Don't smother your skin with layers of foundation and concealer. If I wanted to do this look myself, I would use my new Stila One Step Correct underneath some tinted moisturizer and highlighter in the corners of my eyes, tip of my nose, chin and eyebrow bones. If you don't have a pronounced nose use the highlighter on the bridge of your nose all the way down to the tip to define its shape.

Step 2- Grab some silver liquid eyeshadow and apply it all over your lid and just to the crease bone. Next you'll need a really dark gray, almost purple eyeshadow for the crease and the corners. I would use an angled eyeshadow brush for the creases. Start at the inner corner, and work your way outwards. With a small eyeshadow brush, apply a nice upside 'V' the same height as the silver eyeshadow and all the way down to your lash line. Use what's left on the angled brush and sweep a small amount on the outer corners upwards to the top lid. Then you're going to grab a blending brush and soften any hard lines between the silver and the dark gray on your lids.

Step 3- Using the same silver eyeshadow, or an identically-coloured eyeliner, smudge some colour on the lower lid, blending it in with the dark gray. Don't use too much or you'll end up looking like a clown.

Step 4- Line your top and bottom lid with black eyeliner pencil from end to end. This is to define the shape and make your eyes pop!

Step 5- Curl your lashes and apply black mascara to the top and bottom. I would use a thinner wand like Revlon PhotoReady 3D Volume Mascara.



Step 6- Almost done! Now you've got to blush! Emma's wearing a powder blush by Chanel in Orchid Rose, but you can find yourself something similar that won't break the bank. ( Like L'Oreal True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Blush in Soft Rose)



Step 7- And last but not least, her perfectly pink lips! Emma's wearing Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Lollipop. Easy enough, you can get this at the drugstore!

Hope you have fun creating this look! Let me know how it goes!
