Nick and I also got a chance to work together outside of The Victory Project when we were asked to appear on the Reelz Channel show Hollywood Dailies to give the lovely host of the show, Naibe Reynoso, the Oscar treatment and to contribute our Oscar Fashion & Beauty red carpet forecasts.

I watched the Oscars and wanted to see if my Beauty predictions would come true and I was surprised……most of the actresses played it really safe. I wanted to see more Neo-Retro, Mad Men inspired “classic Hollywood” looks on the red carpet but a few actresses stood out to me.

Sleek, sophisticated hair, flawless skin and bright pink lips on Sandra Bullock. I loved everything about how she looked.

Cameron Diaz played with a Neo Retro look….Rita Hayworth side-part classic Hollywood waves, gorgeous skin, pink cheek and coral-orange lipstick. Gorgeous.

And Charlize Theron looked amazing- sleek updo, flawless matte skin, fresh coral pink cheek with an orange red satin creamy lip.

Clean, classic beauty played up with a pop of color on the lips will never go out of style.

For the most part, a lot of actresses played it safe with beiges, golds and bronze-neutral makeup looks. Noticably and thankfully absent from the Oscar red carpet were the overdone, orange spray tans we have seen for so many years in a row. The result: a lot of actresses looked fresher, younger and more sophisticated than we’ve seen in years…….

Beauty Trends from the Fall/Winter 2010 runway…..

Perhaps most of the actresses were looking ahead to the Fall/Winter 2010 fashion shows which showcased a lot of nude, neutral makeup looks. It’s all about beautiful, satiny and light matte skin on the runways….the nude look…with it’s monochrome simplicity and minimalism…were accented by a light coral-pink lip at Marc Jacobs. Neutral, sheer nude lips finished a palette of caramels, and toffees with a light gray smokey eye at Chloe. One thing is for sure- get that skin in top shape. It’s about seeing clean, natural untanned skin.

The Victory Project – Seattle

The Victory Project – Seattle

I recently returned from one of my favorite places on the planet-Seattle-where we shot the Beauty segment for The Victory Project Seattle. By this time, the amazing Ladies of Seattle had already met with my esteemed colleagues-Katherine Brooking for Nutrition, Kacy Duke for Fitness and Nick Verreos for Fashion- and now it was my turn to do my part and bring the Beauty concepts to life. I met Jocelyn, Rebecca, Heather and Sonja at Seattle’s Gene Juarez Salon & Spa where we met up with the talented artists there that would translate my visions for each of the women’s hair into reality. After their time getting cut and colored and coiffed, it was time for me to do their makeup and target specific needs/ looks the women had expressed interest in achieving. The cameras rolled the entire time and caught all of the moment to moment excitement- so log on to www.thevictoryproject.msn.com for the Seattle episode in its entirety to see all of the fun we had. Thank you to the Gene Juarez Salon & Spa- you guys rock. Thank you to our amazing crew and thank you Jocelyn, Rebecca, Heather and Sonja- you were so wonderful and so inspirational.
