Sofia Vergara hits the SAG Awards red carpet in Marchesa!

The red carpet is already heating up at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards! My girl Sofia Vergara has become the one to look out for and she didn’t let me down in this stunning Marchesa gown and Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry.

Joining her at the coveted awards show held at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California was boyfriend of two years Nick Loeb. While chatting with Giuliana Racic about her relationship, Sofia mentioned how much she loved Nick because he was so supportive of her booming acting career.

ahhh…..

Sofia is up for the Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Comedy Series for her work on Modern Family. The show is up for a total of seven awards this evening!

Good luck!

Steal My Look: Sofia Vergara and Paula Patton rock CoverGirl at Golden Globes

Check out just about any of the “Best Dressed” lists from the Golden Globes and you will find Sofia Vergara and Paula Patton somewhere at the top! Both women dared to be different, walking out in bold colors showing off their amazing personalities that sets them apart from the rest.

As part of Make-up Monday, I have an amazing treat that will help you “Steal their Look” using the same products from CoverGirl that their make-up artists used on them!

Sofia Vergara, who is a spokesperson for the brand, dazzled on the red carpet in a deep blue Vera Wang gown.She also dripped in diamonds, $5 million dollars worth from Harry Winston!

Kayleen McAdams took care of all her make-up for the event and here she breaks it down for you, please try this at home!

Inspiration/Dress: This look is all about the lips. We chose a bright plum lip and kept the eyes soft with bronze shadow and multiple coats of mascara. The dress is a gorgeous Vera Wang in a shade of teal and the hair is very sleek and youthful so we wanted the makeup to stand out and look youthful as well.

Face: I started by applying COVERGIRL TRUconceal Concealer #4 under the eyes and around the nose. I then applied COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Nutmeg with a sponge and set that with COVERGIRL Clean Pressed Powder in Soft Honey. I chose a plum toned blush (COVERGIRL Cheekers Blush in Plumberry Glow) and applied it along the cheekbones and apples of the cheeks.

Eyes: I applied COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 3-kit Shadow in Golden Sunsetall over the lid and into the crease and then applied three coats of NEW COVERGIRL LashBlast 24HR Mascara to the top lashes and one coat on the bottom.

Lips: I applied COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor in Everlastingfirst and then applied COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipliner in Beloved.

Application Tip: This keeps the lipstick from bleeding, but makes it easier to apply the line with the moisture of the lipstick.

What’s in the clutch?: When she was ready to hit the red carpet, I sent Sofia on her way with powder, lip pencil and lipstick for reapplication.

Paula Patton was a personal favorite in a bright yellow Monique Lhuillier gown which complemented her skin tone perfectly! Paula, the newest ambassador for COVERGIRL’s Queen Collection, worked with make-up artist Fiona Stiles who hooked her up with some of the lines’ hottest products.

Inspiration/Dress: Paula was wearing a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown, a beautiful sunny yellow. We wanted to keep the look light and pretty, focusing on lashes and cheeks, playing up the happy element of the color.

Face: After prepping the skin, I used a flat synthetic foundation brush to swipe on COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Liquid Makeup in Rich Sand, applying it to the bridge of the nose, the cheeks, the forehand and the chin. Then I used the brush to blend the color out towards the jaw and hairline, going over the base with a criss-cross motion to ensure that it was well blended and there were no lines.

I used a little COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Concealer in Light to cover any darkness under the eye or redness along the side of the nose, feathering it out so it blended perfectly with the foundation. Before I powdered with COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Pressed Powder in Light Bronze, I used a dual fiber brush to apply a bit of COVERIGRL + Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry onto the apples of the cheeks and then after I powdered, I used a touch of COVERGIRL Cheekers Blush in Classic Pink to brighten the face a bit more.

Application Tip: I like to combine cream and powder blush – just make sure you apply “like to like,” so use the cream blush before you powder and the powder blush after the makeup is set.

Eyebrows: Next I focused on the brows. I gave them a nice full look by adding a little to the shape with COVERGIRL Brow & Eyemakers Pencil in Midnight Brown. The key to making it not look too heavy is to run a clean spooly through the brows after you fill in with pencil. This softens the lines and blends the color in, making it undetectable. Set the brows with a clear gel, brushing the hairs into the desired shape.

Eyes: For the eyes, I started by sweeping COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Bronzer in Light Bronzeover the lid, giving the eye a wash of warmth and a little depth, while still looking like her skin. Then I took COVERGIRL Queen Collection Eyeliner in Black Onyxand drew a black line all along the upper lash line, pushing it into the lashes. Taking a small synthetic brush, I smudged the line, softening the edge, making it less severe. I used a little black liner on the bottom as well, pushing it deep into the lashes so that when I applied NEW COVERGIRL LashBlast 24HR Mascara, the illusion was thicker, darker lashes.

Lips: A soft pale, peachy lip achieved using COVERGIRL Queen Collection Lip Gloss in Starlet Sand, made Paula look radiant without distracting too much from the eyes, and the wash of warm pink on the cheeks gave her a fresh, healthy flush.

Focus: The eyes–soft liner and strong lashes–were the focus of the look, so the lips and cheeks were just meant to compliment them.

What’s in the clutch?: I gave Paula her lip gloss, a few cotton buds, and some blotting papers for her to take with her on the red carpet. I wish I could be there to touch up my clients when they get to the red carpet, but once I leave them they are on their own. The challenge is fitting all of those touch up supplies in those teeny tiny clutches!

Both women were stunning and I hope to recreate the look at home soon! Who was your favorite?

Make-Up Monday: CoverGirl BlastFlipstick and LashBlast 24HR Mascara

Ever since CoverGirl announced Sofia Vergara as their newest spokesperson, I was excited to see what fun products she would represent. I was given an early preview of two items from the collection, the BlastFlipstick and the LashBlast 24HR Mascara before it hits stores in January 2012 and I’m loving them!

My favorite product for 2012 is CoverGirls BlastFlipstic ($8.49), a double-ended lipstick with shades you can blend to create different looks. The brands’ Global Creative Design Director and makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath mentioned why this technique is so fantastic.

• “Lip color blending is key backstage because it gives me the power to design unique, high-fashion looks to complement any style. I love that COVERGIRL BlastFlipstick empowers everyone to create their own signature look every day.”

Mascara is not a favorite beauty of mine, I much prefer playing with eye shadows and lipsticks since its tough to get my eyelashes to curl. But LashBlast 24HR ($8.95) has this fabulous brush that gave my lashes amazing volume! The true test for me is that the mascara doesn’t irritate my eyes since I wear contact lenses.

I also really enjoyed the fact that it didn’t clump and that I didn’t have to re-apply.

Both items are set to hit stores next month. To stay up-to-date with all the latest news from Covergirl, make sure to follow their Facebook page here.

While many of us were preparing our Thanksgiving dinners for our family, friends and loved ones, Sofia Vergara and Sienna Miller partied it up in Europe.

The beautiful Modern Family star was spotted by photographers as she departed Claridge’s Hotel with a group of friends on Thursday, November 24th, 2011 in London, England. Despite the chilly weather, Sofia managed to show off her curves in a low-cut black top, sparkly mini skirt and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Sienna Miller played hostess at the Lancel ’135 Years Of French Legerete’ last night in Paris, France. The 29-year-old was on-trend in a black Emilio Pucci dress which featured a delicate lace overlay.

Salma Hayek, Sofia Vergara and Eva Mendes: 3 stylish chicas take on Europe

I feel bad for the folks in Europe who had no warning that these three Latina bombshells would hit their shores at the same time! Salma Hayek, Sofia Vergara, and Eva Mendes were all spotted across the continent on Monday, November 21st, 2011.

Mexican beauty Salma Hayek was photographed as she departed from the Hotel George V in Paris, France while en route to a press conference in support of her latest film, Puss in Boots. She looked beautiful in a matching skirt and blouse ensemble with a black camisole underneath.

Sofia Vergara smiled pretty for photographers upon her arrival at ITV studios in London, England this morning. She is also promoting a new animated movie, Happy Feet Two.

Even though temperatures are a bit chilly across the pond, this Colombian beauty was rocking a dress, stockings, and sky high heels!

Eva Mendes kept a much lower profile hiding behind an umbrella on the set of her latest movie, Leos Carax’s Holly Motors, at Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France. Though details about her character are non-existant, we do know the film tells the story of a man who travels between different versions of his life, which see him cast as a murderer, beggar, CEO, monstrous creature and family man.

Mendes, along with pop singer Kylie Minogue, will star as people from his past.

Looking good chicas!

Sofia Vergara and Elijah Wood heat up the red carpet in London

If I was in front of Sofia Vergara, Elijah Wood, and this adorable penguin, I’m not sure who I would hug first! The trio attended the UK premiere of Happy Feet Two held at the Empire Cinema Leicester Square in London, England on Sunday, November 20th, 2011.

I have no idea how Sofia is walking that red carpet and not freezing her booty off but it might have a little to do with her being such a fiery Latina! Represent us across the pond chica!

Fans must have been kept equally warm seeing the Modern Family beauty in a strapless burgundy dress that subtly featured the popular animal print everyone is rockin’ this fall. She finished her look with a pair of stockings and black Mary Jane heels by Christian Louboutin.

Happy Feet Two is in theaters now!

Joining them on the red carpet were vocal co-stars Hank Azaria, Common, Robin Williams and his new bride Susan Schneider as well as his daughter Zelda, and Pink who was joined by husband Carey Hart.

Speaking of Pink and Carey, I believe this might be their daughters first formal red carpet event! Little Willow Sage is absolutely adorable!
