Sunday was a crazy day! I had three clients attending different Oscar night fetes. First, Nicole Richie who was walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards with the official DJ of the ceremony, fiance Joel Madden. Then, my two lovlies Emma Stone and Kat Dennings were both attending Graydon Carter’s famous Vanity Fair party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

I had a wild week filled with tons of last minute schedule changes and lots of racing around L.A. like a lunatic. In the end I couldn’t have been happier with how gorgeous each girl looked. Each make up really reflected their own unique sense of style which is my greatest goal as a make up artist. I had a really great time but let’s just say I’m happy the Oscars are only once a year!

On Nicole Richie I created a super dramatic Verushka inspired ’60s eye to go with her beautiful floor length beaded Reem Acra dress. I used soft blues and greys and some MAJOR liquid eyeliner for a totally mod look.

On Emma Stone I went for a bold coral red lip-Chanel Rouge Coco in Cambon, AMAZING! Paired with a perfectly drawn Lauren Bacall brow, she was transformed into a full on modern starlet!

On Kat Dennings it was all about bronzed eyes and cocoa lips.

I admit, I’m slightly obsessed with Kat Dennings. To me, she is a total modern beauty. Did I mention that working with her is a dream? This girl is funny, smart and happens to be the epitome of unconventional GORGEOUSNESS! (Is that a word?) Oh well, I digress…

For the premiere of her new movie “Defendor” last night Kat decided to wear this beautiful, sleek Stella McCartney Tux jacket paired with the most incredible Brian Atwood taupe patent heels. What else to do but a serious cat eye and muted beige lips right? Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in Beige Felin to be exact.

She looked amazing as usual, watch out for this beauty because 2010 just may turn out to be the year of the Kat.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were yesterday and I had the greatest morning working with one of the most genius comediennes in the world Tina Fey. Tina ended up winning (I had a pretty good feeling she might) for her role as the totally hilarious Liz Lemon on 30 Rock which has to be the funniest show on television! I can’t tell you how much I adore this woman in every way. I kept the make up cool and refined and I thought she looked absolutely stunning in her royal purple Alberta Ferretti dress and 40’s waves.

Here we are again at the Golden Globes, the first of the big award shows of the season. I can’t believe it’s already been a year! I was thrilled to once again be working with the incredibly chic January Jones who was nominated for best actress for her role on MAD MEN.

January’s fashion sense is bold and intuitive. She also happens to have the most impeccable taste, so working with her over the years has been a make up artists dream come true. She’s a major risk taker and never lets anyone dictate her sense of style and this year was no exception.

Her deceptively simple black Lanvin dress was definitely more understated than last years blue Versace number but equally beautiful in my opinion. A richly painted garnet mouth, porcelain skin and lots of lashes were my contribution to her look while hair stylist extraodinaire Mark Townsend tied a black satin ribbon she’d saved from a gift as a headband over a simple french twist. We had way too much fun as usual. She makes me grateful to call this work.
