I've been following Hillary Duff's career for many years and I really love how she is being styled nowadays. Her look shows that the smoky eye is still in fashion and can be done in a glamorous yet alluring style.

I was really excited to hear Vanessa Paradis would be the new face for Miu Miu's autumn/winter campaign. I wasn't sure what to expect after Kirsten Dunst's ads appeared for the spring. Dunst wasn't the type of spokesperson I would think could carry of a great handbag. Her images though were absolutely stunning. Koodos to the stylists that transformed her into a supermodel.

One of my favorite vintage looks is the classic pinup girl. This trend spanned many decades but my favorite are the beauties of the 1940's. As old things are new again, I pick up trends from long ago styles that still hold up today.

Fast approaching 50 Madonna still shows that she can reinvent her look and make it work. I've really been inspired by her Vanity Fair and H&M ads lately. Aging hasn't stopped her from not only setting trends but defining them.

I see many clients who want to achieve the flawless complexions of the many famous faces gracing covers of today's magazines. Reluctant to say most are the result of excellent retouching techniques, rather than the skills of a celebrity makeup artist. I still believe flawless skin can be achieved with proper makeup techniques.
