The icons – the celebrities and stars of Hollywood are among the main sources of ideas and notions as far as beauty and fashion is concerned. The runway is the generator but the celebrities are the marketers of these looks and style. Wrap your 2010 up with the New Year’s ravishing mixtures of colors, designs, hairstyles and fashion statements. Pair up your individualistic ideas with that of the glamour under the limelight.


What makes the celebrities looks most notable? Notable makeup is one look which settles in within the boundaries of the average. Meaning, there is no going overboard or going under board. Additionally, the makeup perfectly complements the facial features and the skin tone of the wearer making it more of a part of the face rather than an add-on.
Variations in makeup products have come in trends and are widely available in forms suitable to almost all skin types. To guide you through looking fabulous without going beyond what is expected; here are some inspirational thoughts from loved and critiqued styles of some famous stars.
makeup 2011 Kim Kardashian
The star, Kim Kardashian, has always looked glamorous as a public figure. Her markedly good body and chic get-ups make her a good prospect to investigate. Her makeup has always showed the feminine side of a woman – gentle, sophisticated and elegant. If you thing the bold colors will suit you best, don’t hesitate – jump for it. In relation to the New Year’s new trends in makeup set-ups, Kim have chosen favorable colors and hues during a red carpet even which specially emphasized beautiful features of her face without having one overpowering the other. She took the liberty of enhancing her eyes and bon structure. Use of foundation is particularly important here as it will serve as a base for flawless look. Plum eye shadows, false eyelashes and a finish of bronzer blush and nude colored lipstick wrap the whole thing up. It’s a good getaway from the too conventional bold and too conservative neutral.
Carrie Underwood looks fresh all the time regardless of the hectic schedules. Hers is a good example of natural beauty. She is the perfect muse for women at all age brackets. The fresh look is perfect for both a day’s work and a night’s out because of the fact that only the right features are brought out. Creating a flawless complexion using a foundation or a translucent powder can do the trick. Tints of blush on the cheeks with subtle eye liner pencils and black mascara bring about a good façade for the eyes. Finish the makeup with a coral lip gloss and you are good to go for a day or a night’s out.

Spotlight is on Lala during the Critics Choice Award just this 2011. The vintage and retro panorama she brought in a formal event came to be apt by that time. The glam and the chic veneer she put up is one thing to note. The makeup placed accents on the best focal features – lips, cheeks and eyes. The cheekbones were tinted with bronze blush and shimmering eye shadow captured the eyes best set-up. Finishing the look is a glossy lip shimmer.
Sheer beauty defined Keri Hilson’s makeup choice during the 2011 Critic’s Choice Awards. The makeup was purely discreet being available for both daytime and night time activities. It gives women a chance to stand out using their natural beauties. The delicate, radiant look made using shimmering makeup sets gave Keri a youthful and standout look. It creates a flawless look which gives the cheeks a healthy flush and a soft pink blush. Liquid eyeliner and mascara outlined the eyes and added elegance to the makeup. The pink nude lipstick adds flawlessness to the features. If you think this makeup is perfect for you, then, head on to the nearest cosmetic shop and buy the things you will need.
