Get Reba’s glam look
Who noticed Reba McEntire’s glam and polished makeup during the Academy of Country Music Awards television show?
The man responsible was celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman, who shares how he created the Oklahoma singer’s “hi-fi” look.
“I really wanted to do something glamorous on Reba that would give pop to her look for her hosting duties and her performance (duet with Kelly Clarkson),” he said. “Generally I do a cleaner, more subtle look for her when she does TV… saving something with more drama for print shoots. The response was great Everyone loved the glammed Reba.”
All the products were MAC.
For the face: Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation and Skinfinish Powder to give her skin a dewy, youthful glow.
On the lips: Lip pencil in Stripdown on the entire lip and tinted Lipglass in First Bloom. “Since her eyes were the focus, I wanted something that gave definition with a hint of warmth and sweetness.”
For the eyes: The goal: smoked eyes with a bit of winged cat-eye. Eye Kohl in Smolder, eye shadow in Scene, smudged all over, and eye shadow in Knight Devine. The goal: smoked eyes with a bit of winged cat-eye.
“I wet this shimmering shadow and used on her lids only to catch light and give some depth,” Freedman said.
On the cheeks: Powder blush in Peaches, for an all-over color. Powder blush in Springsheen applied from apples to temples to “modernize” her cheekbones and balance her dramatic eyes.
Busting out with Jessica Simpson
If Jessica Simpson’s goal was to get attention at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York, she succeeded BIG time.
Everyone’s talking about her dress — or to be more exact, what was not in the dress.
Got any thoughts on her look?

Gisele spreads her wings
Perhaps you’ve seen Gisele Bundchen, the world’s top model, on the runway for Victoria’s Secret or in the chain’s catalogs.
Well, no more. The model has parted ways with Victoria’s Secret, according to The Daily, an online source for all things fashion and beauty.
Word is Victoria’s Secret was unable to meet Gisele’s financial terms.
Gisele signed a multi-year contract with Victoria’s Secret in 2000 and became the star for its lingerie, beauty and hosiery campaigns in print, TV and online. She also was featured prominently in the yearly televised runway shows.
In 2006, Forbes magazine named the Brazilian the highest-paid model in the industry.
