No Masks Makeup is Back With Glass Skin
Welcome back to the Oscars® everyone! Blessed to be back and without the masks. I am ready to share with you my behind the scenes techniques to achieve that glass skin look. As a makeup artist & skin educator my focus is all about the skin baby. So let’s win with some of my must have products ladies. Get ready to take notes because I am going to let you in on all the secrets to achieve that glass skin. Let’s go!

Achieving Glass Skin
Achieving glass skin is hard to achieve, so here’s my tips on how to make your skin look flawless, smooth, and yes “like” glass. First step for my queens is skin prep! Exfoliate the skin, then apply Peach & Lily Glass Skin Serum all over (rated 5 stars for top refining serum). Step 2- Apply Clarins Extra Firming Serum, this is spanx for the face ladies, it instantly firms & visibly tightens. I am obsessed! Step 3- Our goal is to keep the skin natural in order to achieve that “glass skin”. So we need to go in with a tinted moisturizer (CC cream or BB cream) if you have clear skin, or for a full coverage foundation we want to aim for Dewy finish, matte has got to go. Many have heard of the term “baking” the skin that is a term used for applying powder to create a more mattified look. In this case, dewy skin and powder do not mix. In fact the goal is to plump the skin and give it that sun kissed natural glow. To set the look, we are going to add the Peach and Lily Glass Veil Mist. This product will drown in your skin in hydration like a big glass of water.. It’s that good ladies.
Last Step to Glass Skin
The last step ladies is very important so stay with me! This is the home run to glass skin, apply 2-3 drops of Josie Maran Argan Oil – rub it into your hands to warm up the product then gently pat it on your cheeks and forehead two times and you’re done, and don’t forget the plump lips ladies. My favorite product for lip plumping is by Too Faced Cosmetics, they are available in multi-shades rated five stars . These are all my hidden gems and techniques to achieve the “Glass Skin” look. Thank you with all my heart to 4Chion Lifestyle for another year at the Oscars®.

Halloween Kills is a generational affair. Jamie Lee Curtis attends the red carpet in Los Angeles as her mother’s Psycho character, Marion Crane. The Halloween films spans three generations (more than 40 years) of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.
Jamie Lee Curtis Halloween Kills Red Carpet
Halloween Series Synopsis
Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again (IMBD).
Series Synopsis
Halloween Killsis the continuing saga of Myers and Strode in the next thrilling chapter of the Halloween Series. It is recommended to watch Halloween 2018 before heading to the theatre, Sean James (Hairstylist to the Stars).
Halloween Kills brings Curtis’ character, Laurie Strode, three generations together for a final confrontation with Myers (masked figure who has haunted Strode for four decades) on Halloween night.
Curtis states regarding the film, “It’s going to be very exciting. People will be shocked. People are going to be agitated by this movie, in a way that I think they’re not expecting. That to me makes a great sequel. . . To all those people that love these movies, Happy Halloween.” (EPK.TV)
Daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis and Mother, Janet Leigh SEAN JAMES PHOTO
Halloween Kills Styling (EXCLUSIVE)
Creating Curtis into Strode takes a team. Sean James, hairstylist for Curtis, takes this powerful beautiful woman from her strong representation of being “true to herself” to Strode, traumatized by Myers for decades.

Red Carpet Styling
Halloween Kills U.S. film screening, at the TCL Chinese Theatre is a costume party. Curtis dresses like her mother, Janet Leigh, in her famous character, Marion Crane, from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film, Psycho. The styling did not miss a beat down to the wig created by James, using FHI products (see discount below). The struggle was real as wigs are in short supply because of the pandemic.
The search for Scarlett Johansson’s wig from the film Hitchcock was not located. The high and low search turns to a golden blonde colored wig. James states, “I could not find a golden wig anywhere. They kept showing me Marilyn Monroe wigs and platinum blonde wigs. Finally one was located that was as close as possible during this time.”
The wig was the wrong cut and texture. The next process was to cut and style the wig into the bubble (even Barbie has a wig that is the bubble style) style of her mother. James did his magic on the wig with FHI Heat Stylus High Altitude and FHI HEAT Platform Bounce Pro Curler to create the perfect look that Janet Leigh inspired in the 1960s.
The red carpet creation is completed with a bloody shower curtain.

Past Movie Styling
James has been doing Curtis’ hair since 1995. Curtis brought her daughter into Fred Segal Salon. She asked for James to do her daughter’s hair. Soon Curtis asked James, “What would you do with my hair?” James states, “I suggested we chop it all off. Then we had different versions of her hair.”
Halloween H2O we brought hair color to the shorter style. This change was a concern for Curtis. She was doing Activia Yogurt at the same time. It is important to stay true and honest to her audience and fans. Curtis was honest about her hair color. She was on Oprah stating the way Hollywood distorts imperfect beauty. The More Magazine article shows all the secrets of styling, stylus, and hairstyles as well as what Hollywood is and the falsification of people’s image.
The color change was a turn from her natural hair color. Making coloring difficult Curtis does not sit still for more than 20 minutes. The concept of processing color every three weeks to cover the natural gray was absurd to her. She hates having her hair colored.
Sean James Hair Stylist to the Celebrities
Halloween Kills Press
James says, “It is so exciting doing all of the press for the movie. Going to Venice Film Festival with Curtis for the world premiere, James Corden, Kelly Clarkson, and Rachel Ray Show. It is wonderful watching Curtis shine with this new movie. I cannot wait for everyone to see it. It is a fantastic horror film. It is really a wonderful reveal of the town of Haddonefield, Illinois. I can hardly wait for the third part, Halloween Kills.“
Excited to see this movie this weekend. You see your local theatre listings or go to Peacock TV for streaming options. Post your movie review here.

There is a lot of large puffy sleeves on the red carpet fashion. This is such a joyous time after a year of very little fashion shows and red carpet. The looks are personal and styled for a dramatic look. This was a great time to get dressed up in glam after a year of leisure wear and masks. Yeah for the lipstick, missed seeing lipstick this last year.

Heavenly bodies walk the red carpet for Met Gala. The celebrities gather for the annual Met Gala (Met Ball) hosted by Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor. The yearly event is held the first Monday in May. This event is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Art’s Costume Institute. It is rumored that this may be the last one hosted by Wintour.

Wintour’s galas are the top social event in New York City. Guests are invited personally by Wintour and staff at Vogue assist with the evening preparation. This year was one filled with some controversy, but gorgeous fashion.
Gigi Hadid Versace Met Gala
Celebrities Walk the Red Carpet Heavenly Bodies
The theme for the evening was one that brought creativity and exceptional fashion. The costume exhibit this season examines how fashion designers have been influenced by Catholic aesthetics. The theme went from religious influences in fashion to focus on Catholicism. This was adjusted when the curator decided that focusing on religious influences was too much for one show. The Catholic church not unhappy with the art collection and has donated pieces for the art show. The annual show at the museum dictates the theme and dress code for the evening.
The celebrities hit the red carpet with great creations of fashion, style, and makeup. Versace was popular fashion. Donatella Versace wore a design of her own that is sexy and gorgeous in a beautiful ornately embroidered coat and dress navy and gold boots. This was perfect for the evening. Her boots were fabulous. There were many celebrities wearing Versace at the Met Gala. This is appropriate because the fashion house being in Italy and often includes catholic religion in their fashion. The celebrities wearing Versace include:
Kim Kardashian in a full-length gold gown with a gold cross on the front.
Mingos wore matching print bold suits. They are very fitting for evening’s theme. (Best Dressed men)
Gigi Hadid in a gorgeous blue embellish wings with a high slit. (Best Dressed woman)

Mary J Blige in an elegant light mint green gold gown, thigh-high boots (it is an evening for boots) and L’ Dezen by Payal Shah jewels.

Katy Perry brings the wings the Met Gala theme with sexy gold thigh-high boots.
Blake Lively in a regal elegant red and gold ornate detailed gown with a beautiful tiara and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
Migos Met Gala
Rihanna brought some controversy with her dress like the Pope. She wore a gem-encrusted Margiela mini-dress and matching coat, and a giant mitre. Amal Clooney one of the best dressed of the night. She wore cigarette pants with a strapless foil top and a train that flowed from the waist. This is a modern take on the mother Mary. The fashion continued with the theme throughout the evening. The inspiration for the Met Gala includes Cardinals, Mother Mary, art, and elegant embellishments. The evening was full of crosses and other religious symbols. The evening was awe-inspiring.
