Emmys Makeup
Posted September 19, 2016 | Filed in FASHION & BEAUTY, hair, make-up |

My friend Veronica Sinclair is THE QUEEN of Hollywood makeup. If I had all the money, I would put her on retainer and pay her to do my makeup and hair every day. She's sweet, fun and makes me feel like a million bucks. (I'm not the only one - check out her Instagram for the celebs she styles.) She's dolled me up for every special occasion in my life for the past few years, including our wedding, and I was so happy with my look for the Creative Arts Emmys last weekend, I asked her to share the makeup products she used...View Article

My Eyeshadow Obsession
Posted July 21, 2016 | Filed in FASHION & BEAUTY, make-up |

I am a makeup junkie (which is a polite term for makeup hoarder), and tend to hold onto everything, so I've got a lot of products I dip into every now and then but last way past their expiration date because they're used so infrequently. However, I reach for Laura Mercier's Caviar Sticks so often I find myself having to buy new ones all the time. They're so fast and easy - color on your eye like a crayon, blend it with your finger and you're good to go. And it lasts all day (even through sweat sessions at the gym, or a day at the beach. I know this because I wear makeup to the gym and the beach.) I've been thinking these will be even more precious to me when I'm a mom eventually, because it's so quick to apply and from what I understand, new moms don't have a ton of time to do makeup every AM. I discovered them when my mom gave me a gift set for Christmas a few years ago with a small stick of every color, so I've tried them all (and love them all), but here are the three in my daily rotation...View Article

Violet Grey Makeup MasterClass

The mission statement for Violet Grey is simple: The best in beauty, from those who know best. The company (founded in 2012 and shopable online and at its flagship store on Melrose Place) is curated by the most in-demand makeup artists in Hollywood, and takes the guesswork out of buying beauty products because they only sell a limited number of products that these professionals actually use on their A-list clients. The site operates as both a blog - with everything to tutorials to celebrity makeup artist profiles (like Emily Blunt's) - to a store, where you can shop the recommended products. And over the long weekend, my BFF Katierose and I took a masterclass from Violet Grey makeup artist Kira Nasrat and editorial director Christina Han. Kira has the personality of Amy Adams in "Enchanted" and Christina used to work at Vogue, and Katierose and I decided immediately we would do anything to be a part of their girl/celeb squad. Here's what we learned (and bought)...View Article

1 Lipstick, 13 Girls + 1 Baby

A few months ago, I wrote about giving all the girls who came to my bachelorette party a tube of my favorite lipstick as a party favor, since they all traveled so far and took time away from their families and lives to celebrate me in Ojai. I still haven't gotten around to sorting through all the photos and writing about the mad beautiful hilarious fun of that weekend in a way that will do it justice, but my friend Christie emailed me with the great idea to do a blog with each girl wearing the lipstick. I'd read that this shade looks good on everyone, and as you can see, it really does! Some girls blotted it to go on lightly, others slicked it on for a dramatic effect, some filtered their photos and one even had her tube stolen by her baby daughter...View Article

Makeup Organizer

Are you there, Mom? It’s me, Annie! AND I ORGANIZED MY MAKEUP! In an ongoing effort to get my life together, I purchased a cosmetic organizer. I’m no mathematician, but in doing this I’m pretty sure I added at least a year of free time to my life, as I spend (on average) at least 5 minutes/day tearing through the house trying to find this lipstick or that eyeshadow stick. No more! Now I have this acrylic case, and have officially become an “organized person.” (Sort of. Haven’t tackled the chairdrobe yet. Probably won’t. Ever.)View Article
