I am a huge fan of Ava and was so thrilled to see her at Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards show. She was by far one of my best dressed that night……everything was working, the navy dress, the makeup and the locs in an updo!

Speaking of makeup, I was thrilled to see that her makeup was done by international makeup artist Uzo and NARS cosmetics. She looked gorgeous!

Here’s a breakdown of the look and an inspiration:

The Inspiration

“The look was about a woman in a position of power. Ava’s statement-making makeup was kept soft and ethereal to balance her bold hairstyle and architectural Zac Posen gown. I created a velvety, smoky chocolate eye and soft neutral shades for her cheeks and lips.”

The Key Makeup Products

All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation (New for Spring 2015; for now try Sheer Matte Foundation)
Fez Shimmer Eyeshadow– Velvety cocoa
Raquel Audacious Lipstick – Pink beige (seriously, check out these Audacious lipsticks, they are amazing! I did a review here)

Her hairstyle was done by celebrity natural hairstylist Felicia Leatherwood and I loved this! Basically, if I had locs, I would want them to look like hers!

I hope that you having an amazing time with family and friends! I have been thoroughly enjoying all the baking and cooking going on! My Mum even made toolum (which is a traditional Trinbagonian candy made of molasses, flaked coconut and sugar). Yum!!

Toolum!

I made oatmeal cookies for the first time in ages! And the drink of the season has been sorrel (which is called hibiscus, bissap or karkadey in other countries). We drink ours like a juice as opposed to a tea.

Anyway, what beauty goodies did you get from Santa this year??

Have a great holiday!!

Feliz Navidad a tod@s, Buon Natale a tutti, Feliz Natal a tod@s, Joyeux Noël a tous!
