And the winner is...

Ashlee Simpson for best makeup at the SAG awards. This sort of look was pretty much the standard at the award show but Ashlee just jumped out at me. Maybe a different color on the lips but I still love it.

What's on trend

Vampy. With America's recent obsession with all things vampire and werewolf Bella #TeamEdward or #TeamJacob we've seen some new fashions come out and that includes makeup. Vampy is the look for the winter season dark eyes and/or deep berry lips. I've always been a fan of a good smokey eye and the darker lips are growing on me. It's a look that can be done by everyone from the cat walk to the sidewalk.

Because EVERYONE is doing it...

Unfortunately Hollywood usually sets the tone for what is hot and what's not. Celebs will always have some sort of influence on what millions of Americans choose to wear. So with the minimalist trend making it's way back around, many of our favorite style icons have been seen rocking much less make-up than usual. Lately the make-up trend is less is more, with everyone wearing a winged liner with dramatic lashes, a nude eye and a red or pink lip. I don't try to follow every wild trend but there are some days where lashes and a little lipstick will do just fine.
