Lanvin Loveliness

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.

January got nominated!

I was driving to work yesterday morning when I got the news that my client January Jones was nominated for a 2nd Golden Globe for her amazing performance on Mad Men! Last season was incredible and I’m SO thrilled for her! (No, I’m not a fan of that show or anything.)

I’ve been working with Jan for close to 5 years now and I just adore her. We’ve always bonded over our deep appreciation of all things fashion. Her trust in me inspires me so much and when we work together I have the best time coming up with new creative make-up ideas to compliment her vision. I can’t wait to find out what dress she chooses this year so I can start dreaming…

We’ve had many fun red carpet moments over the years but I think this bold orange lip and blue Versace number from last years Golden Globes is truly one of my all time fav’s.
