 Last nigh at the 87th Academy Awards, Rashida Jones looked stunning at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.  Learn how to get the Look with TEMPTU and celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg,

Jamie said: “It’s all about the beautiful, dewy skin with a pop of color on the cheeks and lip.” We couldn’t be more in love with it, as it was the perfect compliment to her gorgeous Andrew Gn gown. Jamie shared her step-by-step beauty regime and inspiration for the red carpet night.

First I prepped Rashida’s skin with Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentre and TEMPTU BASE Smooth & Matte Primer, the TEMPTU Concealer Wheel and under her eyes with Embryolisse Radiant Eye.

Next I used TEMPTU AIRpod Foundation in Honey to create a flawless, dewy look. I highlighted her skin with a mix of the TEMPTU AIRpod Highlighter in Champagne and a little bit of Gold. I applied the TEMPTU AIRpod Blush in Peony Pink on the cheeks.

On the eyes, I used Colour Pop eye shadow in Mittens as a base on the eyes, with Jouer in Bordeaux over it. I applied MAC eye shadow in Carbon on the corners.

On Rashida’s brows, I used Ardell Brow in Dark Brown, and Ardell Double Flare Eyelashes in short and medium on the ends.

I finished off the look with TEMPTU Color True Lipstick in  Rose Velveteen on Rashida’s lips. A final touch of Pink Hype was added at the end for a little extra pop!

GET JESSICA CHASTAIN’S OSCAR 2015 BEAUTY LOOK

Jessica Chastain‘s skin and makeup looked amazing at the 87th Academy Awards.  I am so lucky to be able to share with you the products and how to get the look that makeup artist Kristofer Buckle created for the evening.

“Before we began, I applied a layer of Kiehl’s Creme De Corps to make sure Jessica’s arms, legs, and décolletage were as flawless as her face.  Applying the lotion first gave it plenty of time to absorb.”

“All makeup application needs a great base, so I prepped Jessica’s skin with Kiehl’s Hydro Plumping Re-texturizing Serum.  It works wonders as a primer and is extremely moisturizing.  I then added a thin layer of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, and applied Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado around her eyes.  This was followed by Kiehl’s BB Cream in Light – Jessica is very fair, so it’s crucial to have both the right amount of coverage and SPF 50 all in one product.”

“I then used my Kristofer Buckle Always Flawless Day to Night Palette and YSL Couture Variation Palette to create a soft brown winged eye.  By using shadow, I was able to create a softer look than liquid liner. YSL Volume Waterproof Mascara was applied to add drama to her eyes.  To finish the look, I used Kristofer Buckle Absolute Nude Lip Crayon in Nude Subdued over Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 for a clean, sophisticated lip.”

Top Home-Based Business Honored in National Annual Ranking

BeFunky_OrtonStyle_1.jpgMakeup Artistry by Tracie Wins Top Honors in StartupNation Home-Based 100 Business Competition

Makeup Artistry by Tracie has been recognized as one of the top home businesses in the nation by StartupNation in its annual Home-Based 100 competition.

Many of the StartupNation Home-Based 100 entries showed that people are leveraging the efficiencies and lower overhead of home-based businesses to pursue their passion and bring in income during these tight economic times.

“The 2014 ranking reveals that home business is serious business – more relevant than ever. It’s a natural response to loss of job opportunities, the need for supplemental income and the sheer passion for blazing your own trail and running your own show,” said Rich Sloan, co-founder of StartupNation.com, one of the leading small business networking and knowledge hubs online. “Home based businesses are the biggest block of all businesses in existence and we expect numbers to grow ever greater as extra bedrooms, kitchen tables, basements and garages increasingly host the innovative thinking and pursuit of success by millions of Americans.”

“It is a huge honor to be recognized as a top home business for creating it from a love.  I could not be happier to be #40 and in the top 100.  I am passionate about makeup and providing excellent service so to be recognized for it, is icing on the cake.” stated Tracie Rosales owner of Makeup Artistry by Tracie

The StartupNation Home-Based 100 highlights 10 top-ten lists making it not just your ordinary business ranking. From the wackiest, to the most innovative, to the best financial performers – this unique and diverse list highlights the home-based businesses that usually go unrecognized, but still play a vital role in the economy today. The ten categories for 2014 include:

  • Most Innovative
  • Boomers Back in Business
  • Greenest
  • Yummiest
  • Wackiest
  • Highest Vote-Getters
  • Recession Busters
  • Most Slacker-Friendly
  • Most Glamorous
  • Savviest in Social Media

The full results of the Home-Based 100 ranking are available on StartupNation’s website .

Get Emily Blunt’s Golden Globe 2015 Beauty Look

The 2015 72nd Annual Golden Globe’s took place last night in Los Angeles.  I have the distinct pleasure of getting all of the beauty details of one of the hottest nominees; Emily Blunt.  Makeup Artist Jenn Streicher for Kiehl’s and Dior Beauty tells us how she created the look.

“Emily is wearing a gorgeous white Michael Kors dress with to-die-for jewels by Lorraine Schwartz – both the dress and jewels were custom made just for Emily. I can’t remember the last time Emily wore white on the red carpet! Because she just returned from a sunny get-away, her skin was perfectly bronzed for a white gown. And because we decided to have her hair loosely back I wanted her makeup to be soft and ethereal and just a pop of color on the lips to bring out the jewels.

“The first and most important step is prepping the skin. I started with Kiehls’ Ultra Facial Cream and Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado. And because I knew Emily would wear a matte lip, I slathered her lips in the Kiehls Lip Balm #1. I then started on Emily’s eye makeup so her skin treatments could properly absorb.”

“For her eyes, I dabbed on Dior’s Backstage Eye Prime over the entire lid and then mixed 2 of the lightest shades of Dior’s eye palette “Cuir Cannage” #796 over the lid. I also mixed two of the darker shades of the same palette in her crease, concentrating on the outside corners and a bit on the lower lash line. I also brushed a bit of her blush (Cocktail Peach #553) on her lids. I dabbed on Dior’s long wearing cream shadow in Chimere over the entire lid to give it a little shimmer. And, of course, tons of Dior Show Mascara.

“Before I started on the foundation, I used a bit of the Kiehls Micro-Blur Skin Perfector in the T-zone and then applied the Diorskin Star makeup followed by the Diorskin Star brightening concealer to cover any little imperfections or redness.”

“And then, for my favorite part of the look, Dior lipstick #169 Grege with just a bit of the new Rouge Dior Lipshine in #808 over the top. Emily told me it might be her favorite look I’ve ever done on her!”

DisneySide @Home Celebration 2015

A little Pixie Dust was sent my way in an email from Disney Parks today stating that I had been chosen to host a #DisneySide  @Home Celebration in the next few months.  I am so elated to be chosen again to host as I was lucky last year to have a fabulous box full of party goodies sent to me in an American Tourister suitcase.

The surprise box will be coming soon, the only thing I do know is that our party is geared toward preschoolers and the Theme is CARS!  Which of course is perfect as my 4 year old is all about Disney and cars.  Let the coordinating begin!

Just in case you are wondering.  A party that is for my little one and friends but not his birthday?  Do I have that much free time?  Why did Disney send me a huge box of goodies?  What is #DisneySide?

Every year Disney Parks launch a marketing campaign that is seen on social media, in the parks and national advertising.  Many may remember the”Year of a Million Dreams”, as it was a very popular and memorable campaign.  The year of 2015 is “Show Your Disney Side”, it’s the side that makes adults and children embrace their fun and giddy side.  On social media everyone is encouraged to share their love of Disney and use #DisneySide (hashtag).  Whether you are at a park, at the movies, at home  enjoying Disney.

To take the excitement even further Disney invited selected families to be hosts of a Disney Side Home Celebration, a party held end of January to the end of February.  By agreeing to be a part of the #DisneySide @Home Celebration the hosts will receive a box full of goodies to host their party.

Whether you were lucky to be chosen Disney wants everyone to show their #DisneySide, host a party or share a photo of themselves or family and friends getting into the spirit.  Disney has a website created to help with ideas and for you to showcase your spirit!unnamed

Kiehl’s Will Appear in Rose Parade on New Year’s Day

Kiehl’s will be the first beauty company in over 30 years to appear in the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year’s Day.

The theme of Kiehl’s float is “Inspiring a Beautiful World” and will showcase their original apothecary in New York’s East Village and represent their three philanthropic endeavors: HIV/AIDS Awareness, The Environment and Children’s Causes.

Kiehl’s fits right in with the Rose Parade as Kiehl’s uses natural ingredients powered by by science in their skincare products, and quite a few of those ingredients will be represented in their float; sunflowers, roses, pear blossoms, pears and peonies.

Another first will be that Kiehl’s is the first company to have motorcycles ride along side of the float and with that two very special guests.  In the vintage sidecar motorcycle, Timothy Brown, the Berlin Patient and an advocate for the rights of those living with HIV and AIDS around the world.  The second guest is seventeen year old Evan Dumas, of Culver City Unified School District who represents Kiehl’s commitment to improving the environment through Recycle Across America.

Riding on the float will be  Kiehl’s President, Chris Salgardo, Kiehl’s Senior Vice President of Global Communications, Rob Imig, and eight of Kiehl’s West Coast Kiehl’s Customer Representatives.

Be on the watch for the float and follow the team along on  social media at #KiehlsxRoseParade!
