Musings of a City Girl

Christina Aguilera

2010 MTV Movie Awards – Performance

Chritina’s makeup changed from warm to cold when she took the stage at the awards show.  She swapped golden brown lids for a silvery ones paired with a gray cut crease.  Check out how celebrity makeup artist, Kristopher Buckle, achieved the look:

For Christina’s eyes, Kristopher defined the crease and around the lash line with Armani Maestro Eye Shadow in #38, a charcoal shade. The intense silver shine topping Christina’s lids was Ombre Magnétique in Urban Silver, a brand new gel-like shimmer shadow coming from Lancôme this fall. (Stay tuned for more details!) Lancôme’s Artliner in Noir and mega coats of Hypnôse Drama Mascara in Excessive Black finished the dramatic eye look.

Christina’s lips—already a gorgeous red, thanks to Lancôme’s Color Design Matte in Red Haute—got a dramatic coat of shine with Color Fever Gloss in Mercury Rising, a sumptuous red shade.

2010 MTV Movie Awards – Red Carpet

Christina Aguilera rocked a glamorous fresh-faced look at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.  Warm golden lids paired with a pop of red on the lips is one of my go-to looks for special occasions, especially during the spring and summer seasons.  Celebrity makeup artist, Kristopher Buckle, shared how he created the look:

The mission, says Kristofer, was to give Christina “perfect ivory skin and strong bone structure” to highlight her bold and classic red lip. To start, Kristofer prepped the skin with Lancôme’s new Teint Idole Fresh Wear Foundation in Bisque and Maquicomplet Complete Coverage Concealer in Ivoire (a makeup artist favorite). For the eyes, Kristofer swept YSL Ombre Solo Smoothing Effect Eyeshadow in #2 Cashmere Brown along the crease. Three coats of Hypnôse Drama Mascara in Excessive Black topped the upper lashes and one light coat coated the lower lashes.

For Christina’s glam red pout, Kristofer first lined with Lancôme’s Le Lipstique Lipcolouring Stick in Rougelle, a sheer red liner. Color Design Matte Lipstick in Red Haute delivered the rich dose of red—perfect for the iconic pop star.

Had lunch at Schnippers again with the bf this time. I had some yummy mac and cheese and he had a bacon cheeseburger with a side of mac and cheese. I know, crazy, like the bacon cheeseburger isn’t one heart attack, but he is one of those people that can eat anything and not gain a pound.

Someone on Twitter asked me today what kind of diet I was on and I replied (more…)

So you may be wondering why I am including music in my blog.

There are 3 reasons:

1. In a fashion show its not just about the clothes, the shoes, the accessories, the makeup and the hair. There is also music. Its the soundtrack. Its the context. They all have to click.
2. YouTube won’t let me put music in my videos so I need some place to share my favorite jams.
3. Its my prerogative.

And speaking of my prerogative check out one of my favorite songs. I have to throw it down in the club when this comes on. Its a throwback (hint: its a song by a group sanz Bobby Brown). (more…)

I don’t know about your city but I can’t go anywhere in New York without hearing this song about 5 times. It is this years “Umbrella” over here. New York radio stations: I love this song, please don’t make me hate it. lol

Feel free to let us know what your answer was in the comments with the city that you’re from.

Listen to the song after the jump…  (more…)
