Anna Kendrick may be new to the big screen, but her flawless beauty and style sense shot her straight to the top. The actress was nominated for Best Supporting Role for Up in the Air- opposite George Clooney.

For her look at the 82nd Academy Awards, Kendrick opted for a naturally enhanced fresh face. Make-up artist, Sara Glick prepped the actress’ skin and said, ”For a natural flush, I accented Anna’s cheek bones with a coral shade.” She used eco-cheek by Tarte Cosmetics, a non-toxic natural cheek stain. To get Kendrick’s look, dab and blend the cheek stain on the apples of your cheeks.

Looks like the vampire craze has spread to the runways! However, the porcelain skin with clean fresh eyes balances the bold lip. This color will be great for transitioning into Spring with a slight orange under-hue.

For a rich red lipstick that packs a punch try Bare Escentuals Red Delicious. The color is bold and opaque, so you really get the statement effect. If you have a coral lip color, brush a bit over top to create a new color that is more playful.

It is that time of year again- the time when you want to enrich your looks to feel glamourous at holiday parties. Start with your hair color. By using a natural color enhancer, you can add depth and shine to get that luster you are after.

Pick up a box of Longona Herbal Henna Hair Color Kits. They are 100% natural and come in a range of colors from golden blonde to mahogany red, and coffee brown or black. Unlike normal hair dyes, they don’t actually penetrate the inner layer of the hair shaft- thereby causing damage, but instead create an outer coat on the surface level which blends with your natural color to produce a unique and enhanced color.

LUSH also carries a small collection of very raw Henna where you can DIY at home and play with the results. Their bricks of Henna are mixes of the various hues and thus when you let it air dry you obtain a different color than if you wrap it in plastic to process.

Feels like we are dangerously close to that blue eye shadow trend women sported in the 50s, but with a modern twist teal eyeshadow is one of the hottest looks this fall.

Think of teal as the new smokey black- the trick is to blend it and soften the edges. Start with a darker teal near the lash line and then blend upwards and outwards to achieve a seamless smokey effect. To take the look a little bit deeper, line the inside of the eyes all the way around with a grey or black eyeliner. Finish with mascara. Because the eyes are the focus, keep the rest of the look neutral with a slightly pink or nude lip and softly brushed on blush.

Try Tarte’s eco-friendly lash hugger mascara and Nvey Makeup’s organic eye shadow in Teal Shimmer and Gold Deep Green Shimmer.

Rich navy blue nails are all the rage this fall. I love the this trend- it is sophisticated and trendy without being overdone or goth. Perfect.

Get the non-toxic version from Acquarella called Incognito. ;)
