Lara Bingle's new show: Being Lara Bingle has sparked interest all around the world! A show which gives us an insight into Lara's life and reveals to us that her life isn't just all black and white! The show brings out Lara's bubbly personality and shows her in her best times and her worst!

But on to her makeup... I love Lara's minimal approach to makeup because she always looks so tan, dewy and natural! Her bleach blonde hair and blue eyes gives her a perfect 'beachy' look, especially when her hair is wavy! Overall, her makeup is always looking good! And have you ever noticed that she wears makeup to bed on her show?? haha





So what's in her beauty bag?

1. NARS bronzing powder in Laguna $55

This bronzing powder is extremely popular among celebrities and is perfect for contouring! If you want her glow, definitely purchase this product! I love NARS bronzing powder as well, take my word for it, or even Lara's, because it's A-mazing!!

2. Dove Essential Nutrients Tinted Moisturiser in Honey $10

Lara loves using this tinted moisturiser because its a three in one: a moisturiser, light foundation and SPF15 protection! I definitely recommend purchasing this tinted moisturiser as well because it's only $10! I don't have it yet, but it's on my list!!

3. Becca Luminous Skin Colour $54.40

This moisturiser is perfect for people who have problem skin because it contains anti-oxidant vitamins, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic ingredients — all saviours for breakout or problematic areas. This must be one of the reason's why Lara's skin is absolutely perfect!

Lara Bingle has an amazing makeup look which is so natural, and now that you know how she achieves such a gorgeous glow, you can try it out yourself! Good luck!

Miley Cyrus' Makeup

Everyone knows who Miley Cyrus is, international pop star and tv personality, aka Hannah Montana.

image from imdb.com

 But have you ever wanted to know who applys her makeup, what makeup she uses and what makeup she loves??

Let's take an exclusive look into her makeup life...

Mai Quynh is Miley Cyrus' go-to makeup artist and was interviewed by ELLE magazine to find out everything about Miley Cyrus' makeup! I think Mai Quynh does an exceptional job at making Miley Cyrus look so natural, yet beautiful, no matter where she is!

What's Miley's Typical Makeup?

Miley's usual makeup look is 'natural' because the few times she's experimented with dramatic makeup, people have commented that she is too young to be wearing that sort of makeup! Quynh has tried a smokey eye look on Miley a couple of times, but she only uses greys, nothing too dark.

What's Miley's Favourite Facial Features to Accentuate?

Miley loves to accentuate her cheeks and eyes because she has naturally beautiful lashes, hence not having to use falsies! Such a lucky girl!! Quynh starts by using Mark Make It Big Plumping Mascara in Raven for a nice base and then uses YSL mascara for volume!

Quynh uses pinkish-brown creme blush and sets it with a powder blush in a lighter golden-bronze colour. This gives a lovely glow and ensures Miley's makeup lasts even longer!

What Does Miley Use On Her Lips?

Miley loves to have nude coloured lip gloss or lipstick on because she loves the 'natural' look. Her favourite lip product is a Mark lip gloss called Glow Baby Glow in Secret.

As you can see Miley has an awesome look going for her here and Mai Quynh does an exceptional job at applying Miley's makeup!!

Ashley Tisdale Versatile Looks!

Ashley Tisdale

We all know who Ashley Tisdale is don't we!?
In my opinion, the STAR of High School Musical!

Brunette, or blonde, she is always looking fabulous!

But since when was she brunette!?

I loved her blonde hair, as seen on high school musical!

But seriously, I'm also loving this brunette look! So chic and sophisticated. She's had blonde hair for so long, that I think this change of colour is exactly what she needed to change it up!

Ashley has changed her hair colour so many times over the years, that I guess I'm used to this change. I know now that she suites any colour. Personally, I think her light brown/blonde colour is perfect for Summer; but on the other hand, her brunette look is so Winter/Autumn!

Ashley Tisdale

But what makeup does she use??

Foundation: Channel!! She comments, 'It's just so soft, silky and smooth.'

Pencil liner: Channel again!

Liquid liner: M.A.C liquid liner. She comments, 'I use it if I'm going for the more natural look.'

Bronzer: ...Channel (her favourite brand) Ashley loves it because, 'It's very natural and I don't like the orange look at all. I just like to have a little bit of a sunkist look.'

Favourite Lipstick: Channel #67 because, 'It's very glossy and I like peach colours. I'm not a big fan on bright colours, so I switch lipsticks a lot.'

Mascara: Channel or Clinique and she's a big fan of mascara :)

Powder: Giorgio Armani which she uses to set her makeup.

 Why does she love Channel?? 'I love Channel because it has nail polish as well, great lipstick, powder and foundation.'

Where'd her love of Channel come from?? Surprisingly her grandma! Because, 'She'd actually let me go into her draw and USE her makeup!'

Interesting fact on her makeup habits? Add coloured eye liner on her bottom lash line.

Get Kendall Kardashian's look

Hey everyone,

It seems like forever since I've last posted (lol only this morning). I've been shopping, worked for 6 hours and even hosted a birthday party today!! Talk about having a busy day...

Anyway, time to talk about Kendall Kardashian. Well, words cannot even begin to describe just how beautiful Kendall is!

Makeup by Lori Taylor

She rocked this awesome look at the Hollywood Style Awards in November 2011.
Now on to her makeup...

Lori Taylor did a fantastic job at making Kendall's makeup look natural, but defining all her features at the same time. Kendall's loose curls gives her perfect makeup an edge and frames her face so well.

What Lori did...

Face:

• Apply Photo Finish Hydrating Foundation Primer as a base for foundation. Apply High Definition Healthy FX Foundation SPF 15 as a sheer wash to even out complexion. For added coverage, apply High Definition Liquid Concealer to cover imperfections and under-eye circles.
• To add radiance, apply Halo Highlighting Wand in Pearl to the high planes of the face. Add definition and dimension with Step-by-Step Contour Kit: define by using the deepest shade to contour cheeks, nose and jaw line; add a subtle natural flush by applying the medium shade to the apples of the cheeks; and then highlight with the lightest shade.

Eyes:

• Apply Photo Op Eye Shadow Trio in Multi-Flash using the lightest shade as the base from lashline to brow bone. Then apply the pearl pink shade and softly blend to crease.
• Apply Artificial Light Powder to the inner corners of eyes to widen and brighten. Apply Limitless Eye Liner in Smoke across upper and lower lashlines. A generous coat of Full Exposure Mascara completes the look.

Cheeks:

• Apply Blush Rush in Bare to the cheekbones.

Lips:

• Apply Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss SPF 15 in For Keeps.

Can't get enough of Kendall?  Go to http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2011/11/15/kendall-jenner-hollywood-style-awards-beauty/ for even more of Kendall and many other celbrities' awesome looks!

That's all for this post,

p.s. Love Kim Kardashian aswell?? Check out my blog on how to achieve her gorgeous smokey eye look... http://themakeupcentral.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/smokey-eye-tutorial.html

Kim Kardashian Smokey Eye Tutorial

Good morning everyone!

I feel like changing it up today!! Instead of reviewing a specific makeup brand, I feel like its time to share with you a makeup look that I absolutely love!

Introducing Kim Kardashian's smokey eye look:

Makeup by Mario Dedivanovic

Makeup by Mario Dedivanovic

As you can see Kim Kardashian is rocking this smokey eye look. Mario Dedivanovic has done a fantastic job at applying her makeup for the Three Olive's Bubble Flavoured Vodka Party. It was the first time ever he had done an all-black smokey eye on her and honestly, this look is my favourite look she's ever worn! The dramatic darkness engulfing her eyes accentuates the almond shape of her eyes and really makes the chocolate in her eyes 'pop'. The contrast of the black in her dress, her dark hair and the dark smokey eye ties her whole look together. I'm loving her blue clutch as well, so bold!

Now onto how anyone could achieve such an amazing look! ....
(Don't underestimate the smokey eye.. it involves having many makeup wipes close at hand!)

Mario Dedivanovic explains in his blog exactly how he achieved this look!http://blog.makeupbymario.com/2009/07/get-the-face-kim-kardashians-sexy-smokey-eye/  ...

Skin – I prepped her skin with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer first. I let her skin absorb that for a couple of minutes before applying Mat Velvet + Matyfying Foundation by Make Up For Ever. I use this foundation from time to time. It gives a very velvety and pore-less look to the skin. For powder, I used very little of Subliminal Purity Mineral Based Loose Powder by Calvin Klein to set the foundation with a powder puff.

I used Dior’s DiorSkin Sculpt Lifting Smoothing Concealer under the eyes after all of the eye makeup was complete. (When working with black eye shadow, it will almost always fall down a bit and make a mess so clean the under eye area with a makeup wipe, then apply concealer.)
Her eyebrow’s are filled in softly with MAC’s Cork eyeshadow – with more of the focus on the outer corners of the brow.

Eyes – Apply Shu Uemuras Painting Liner Eye Liner in MBlack all over the eye lids and on the lower lash line as well. This is a long-lasting and highly pigmented black cream liner. To set that eyeliner and blend it up and out towards the crease, I used Lorac’s Eye Shadow in Black. The inner rim of the eye is lined with MAC’s white eye pencil in Fascinating. Using all black on the eyes can sometimes make them appear smaller so the white pencil on the inner rim is a great trick for opening your eyes. Finish off with two or three coats of L’oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black.

Cheeks – Apply Desire by NARS ( the perfect pink) on the apples of cheeks and blend well. The face is framed in Casino Bronzer by NARS.

Lips – I lined her lips with MAC’s lip pencil in Subculutre and used Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Pink Protege. 

And that's that! But if your overwhelmed at the difficulty of achieving this look, DON'T BE! All it takes is practice, practice, practice!! I'm sure you'll get there in time :)
