Beauty411 Weekend Digest for Jan. 30-31, 2010

Weekends are a busy time, so here's the news that made my radar this week at Beauty411:

• Is there anything Beyoncé can't do?  Singer, actor, fashion designer, superstar--now add "perfumer" to the mix.  To celebrate the launch of her debut fragrance, Beyoncé Heat, on Tuesday, February 2nd, New Yorkers will catch the fever as Beyoncé turns up the heat in Union Square.  The area will be lit up from 6:00 pm til midnight with fiery red light and smoky fog, infusing the winter landscape with a steamy, sexy aura that embodies Beyoncé’s unique appeal.  Sounds like fun!

Primetime Emmy Style with Stylist Phillip Bloch

I had the opportunity to interview Phillip Bloch, stylist to some of Hollywood's biggest stars, about what we might to see on tonight's Red Carpet at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. 

According to Phillip, he expects to see color in the form of hot pink, citrus green and lemon yellow dresses on the red carpet.  One way that we can incorporate that look into our own daily style would be to use pops of color as accents with our accessories.  Animal prints are another major trend right now and the way to wear them is in a belt, shoe or purse. 

Fitted silhouettes with flowing skirts are another trend and Phillip advises that celebrities will be wearing shapewear to hide lumps and bumps. He recommends Flexees Fat Free Dressing shapeware. 

Makeup for the Emmy's will be very natural looking and matte--similar to what I saw at Fashion Week for Spring 2010.  Phillip expects hair to be more natural, too and not about the elaborate up-dos we've seen in the past.

I'll be watching (and Twittering) the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards tonight on CBS to find out if Phillip is right!
