Adele won her first ever Golden Globe for best original song for the James Bond film "Skyfall" last night at the Golden Globes. Her look was signature Adele, with a vintage 1960's flare. She wore Burberry (of which she is the new ambassador for) and had a gorgeous beehive updo. Her classic winged eyeliner, big lashes and neutral lip were perfect in every way. After just having a baby 12 weeks ago, the songstress was glowing. Congrats to Adele on her win! Xoxo

With all the glamour on the red carpet, it was hard not to notice Zooey Deschanel! Here signature vintage hair and flawless look stunned on the red carpet. She wore one of several gorgeous red gowns that graced the red carpet of the Beverly Hilton hotel last night in a custom Prada dress. It looked beautiful and complimented her 60's style updo beautifully. Her makeup was radiant and flawless as created by MUA Jorjee Douglas for Tarte Cosmetics. Here is all the scoop on her look:

• She prepped Zooey's skin the night before with tarte's pure maracuja oil to keep her skin soft and glowy.
• To even out her complexion and ensure her foundation lasted she applied BB tinted treatment primer in fair.
• Next, she blended tarte’s maracuja miracle 12-hr foundation to add extra radiance to her complexion. To conceal any uneven skin she used tarte’s maracuja creaseless concealer underneath her eyes. 
• She added a pop of color with tarte's Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in frisky to the apples of her cheeks.
• For a touch of shimmer, she applied maracuja blush & glow brightening lumiziner and cheek tint in candlelight to the tops of her cheekbones and set her t-zone with a light dusting of Amazonian clay finishing powder.

• For a strong and defined brow, she used a mixture of tarte's Amazonian clay waterproof brow pencil in taupe and medium brown.
• To make Zooey’s blue eyes pop, she started by blending the bronze shadows from tarte's beauty & the box Amazonian clay eyeshadow quad in “in the buff” all over her lids.
• To create a cat-eye shape, she drew tarte's multiplEYE lash enhancing liquid liner over her top lashline, with a dip at the outer corner.
• Inspired by Twiggy's lashes, she painted on tiny lashes underneath her bottom lashes with the precise tip of multiplEYE lash enhancing liquid liner. 
• She finished by applying two coats of lights, camera, lashes! 4-in-1 mascara to add major volume and drama to her lashes.

• Jorjee patted tarte's glamazon pure performance 12-hour lipstick in bold over Zooey’s lips with her fingers to create a light stain and then went over it with LipSurgence lip luster in delighted to add extra shine.

At last night's Golden Globes, Amy Adams was glowing with a beautiful Marchesa gown in pale pink. She caused a stir with her vintage style and beauty look. Her hair was gorgeous and glamorous in old hollywood fashion. As for her makeup, MUA Stephen Sollitto created a stunning look for her. Here is all the info:

Last night at the Golden Globes, all of Hollywood was a buzz with fashion and beauty. After recently having a baby, Claire Danes stole the show in a gorgeous red Versace gown with a plunging neckline. Her makeup was flawless with a smokey eye and nude lip. Here's all the scoop from the Global Artistry Director for Laura Mercier, Matin Maulawizada:



EYES:  Maulawizada determined that a sultry, smoky eye would perfectly complement the star’s glamorous, red Versace dress. “I decided to go with a smoky eye and not a red lip since the dress was so red,” stated Maulawizada.
•       Maulawizada accomplished this by applying Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Liner in Black ($22) on Danes’ top lids and under her eyes “to create depth and shape.”
•       Next he applied Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye Liner in Black Ebony ($22) with Laura Mercier Flat Eye Liner Brush ($25) to “deepen the lash line.” He then rimmed the inside of the eyes using Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil in Black Gold ($20) to “intensify the depth and to create a contrast with Claire’s blue eyes.”
•       Maulawizada added the final touch of glamour by applying multiple coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara ($24) to Claire’s upper lashes.

LIPS:  Maulawizada used neutral colours to “contour the lips” and make them appear “pouty, à la an early ‘90s supermodel pout.”
•       He first defined the lips using Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Hazelnut ($20).
•       Then he contoured and shaded in the lips with Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Praline ($20).
•       Lastly he applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Angelic ($26) to make the colour a “bit more beige and quiet.”

FLAWLESS FACE:  Maulawizada determined that “glowy, warm skin” would be the perfect canvas for Danes’ sultry makeup look.
•       First, he applied Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact SPF 20 in Almond ($45) to warm up Claire’s skin tone.
•       Next he sparingly used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage #3 ($30) to “cover up little imperfections and darkness under the eyes, which she really doesn’t have.”
•       On her cheeks, Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Blaze ($24) followed by Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Palette ($48) to “highlight, bronze and make her even more glowy.”
•       Lastly he used a combination of Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder in Translucent ($35) and Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder ($22) to set Claire’s makeup and concealer.
•       To ensure Danes glowed from head to toe, Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating Powder in Candlelight ($32) over Laura Mercier Repair Eye Serum ($80) on Claire’s shoulders and arms.

This past Sunday, the stars were glowing at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. This was due to the amazing sight of Hollywood's bold and brightest coming out to attend the 2013 Golden Globe awards honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press. With all the fabulous fun and awards came the gorgeous fashion and beauty! Stars were beaming with gorgeous looks that were timeless. One of the beauties of the night was Colombian actress Sofia Vergara who looked stunning in her Michael Cinco gown and Lorraine Shwartz jewelry. Wanna know how she got that flawless makeup? Check out the info below:

• Quote from MUA: “I wanted to do a brick red lip on Sofia – something a little deeper and more interesting than a classic red lip.”  
• Quote from MUA: “Old Hollywood glamour is a trend for awards season, so Sofia and I did our own twist on the look!”
• I started by applying Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation in Classic Tan (#860) all over and set it with COVERGIRL + Olay Pressed Powder in Medium.  
• Then, I applied a light dusting of Queen Collection Natural Hue Bronzer in Brown Bronze and Cheekers Blush in Sierra Sands, a warm blush, on the apples of the cheeks. 
• I wanted to give the eye a wash of shadow, so I used only one shade, Eye Enhancers 1-Kit in Brown Smolder, and softly blended it over the entire lid.  
• I applied LiqulineBlast Liner in Brown Blaze along the bottom lash line and extended it past the lash line to give a slight wing.
• I finished off the look with three coats of Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara on top to really emphasize the lashes, followed by one coat on the bottom.
• On the lips, I applied Queen Collection Lipcolor in Into the Red straight from the tube, blotted and added another coat to make it last all night. I gave Sofia the lipstick to keep in her clutch so she could touch herself up throughout the night.
• Sofia was nominated for Best Actress in a TV Comedy Series and her show ‘Modern Family’ was also nominated for Best TV Comedy Series.
• Sofia is wearing an up-and-coming designer and is bedazzled in Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and was accompanied on the red carpet by her son Manolo, owner of Nuevon on YouTube.
