2012 Golden Globes Recap!

Well, one of the years most anticipated red-carpet nights arrived last night and I have to say, I was not all that impressed. There seemed to be two re-occurring themes of the night...red lips and old Hollywood Glamour. Two looks in which I admire very much, but a.) not everyone can pull it off and b.) come on people, gives us something new to fall in love with!

Some stunners of the night to me included Charlize Theron (does she ever disspoint?), Salma Hayek, Claire Danes, Sophia Vargera, and Reese Witherspoon. All had very different looks from one another, but stood out to me the most.

Charlize Theron dazzled in a light pinkish almost nude color gown, but definitely took the crown for best nude lips and natural eyes. I doubt this look was hard to achieve for Charlize considering how drop dead gorgeous she is.

Speaking of another naturally nude beauty; Modern Family's- Julie Brown looked AHH-Mazing in her old Hollywood Glamour hairstyle and nude lips. To achieve that perfect nude lip you want to make sure you have that just kissed by the sun tan and put the dazzle elsewhere as Charlize and Julie both did. Julie, created a nice subtly smokey-eye while Charlize kept her entire look pretty simple but added an accessory headband as the finishing touch.

But the one who won best overall everything to me was Reese Witherspoon...

Besides the fact that she's just so freakin cute...Her gown, her hair, her makeup, her accessories...PERFECTION! You can't ever go wrong with a crimson red Zac Posen gown, natural waves and naturally flawless makeup. She totally pulled off an effortless look...Gorgeous!



Best Hair definitely went to Salma Hayek!

She always looks beautiful to me but lastnight she was a complete BOMBSHELL! That hair full of loose waves was perfect for her fitted almost Cleopatra-like black and gold gown.

Two looks that I was not so crazy about was Angelina Jolie and Sarah Michelle Geller.

I read that Sarah Michelle had her two year old daughter, Charlotte pick out her gown....well, that explains it. It looks as if her daughter went crazy with splattering blue paint all over it. Not a good choice on her part.

Angelina...the red lips were OK, but I was not digging her gown. I don't know if its because she is so thin and frail looking but white was absolutely not her color.

The ones who did however stun with those fiery hot red lips, were Claire Danes and Sophia Vergara.

Sophias hair was elegantly pin straight and swept to one side over her shoulder, while Claire looked amazing in her slightly tight up-do and backless gown. Well done ladies.

The best smokey eye, hands down...went to Emma Stone.

When you have piercing green eyes and that awesome shade of red hair, you can easily overdo your look...but the silvery gray hues her makeup artist used on her were perfect and made her eyes look killer.

Well, that completes my Golden Globe recap. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and make sure to check back this week when I post some tutorials on how to get some of what I think, were the hottest looks from this years Golden Globes.

Enjoy your Monday night everyone!
Love,
