Day 2: Someone you adore – 5 reasons why

I think this topic is very difficult. I think most people will post their friends here. & well the obvious reasons why because they're friends, they support me, they're sweet.. etc. & I guess that's what I am SUPPOSE to post here, cuz these topics are suppose to let the audience know more about ME. But I decided not to do that, because we all have friends and I think it's impossible to understand why we personally adore our friends unless we know the history.. & well, that would be a long ass blog! ( plus, I would have to post too many ppl here... I can't just pick one)

Well, if I post someone who is not my personal friend, it is still difficult.. but let me try.

In the Music world.. I adore...

1) Chopin

Obviously, I adore him for his music. He lived in the Romantic Era, with the piano available as it is today. You can use a lot of pedal with his music, & I love using pedals because it's much less likely to hear a broken phrase. I won't elaborate too much since we all know who he is.

2) Sergei Rachmaninoff (English: Rachmaninov)

He is a Russian Pianist, live in between Late Romantic and 20th century Era of music. I think the blend is great, because a lot of 20th century music include too much dissonance sounds (unpleasant sounds). It is still music but difficult to listen and understand it unless you did the research. For Rachmaninoff, I think he had just enough dissonance but not too much, thus, it is still pretty easy for me to listen. His music is very powerful with lots of strong characters.

3) Christina Aguilera

I know, she's completely different then the two persons above. I am kind of scared that I put them in the same category. I adore Christina, I love her voice. If I have a genie, I would wish to have her voice!

In the Modeling World .. I adore..

Heidi Klum

There are too many beautiful people out there, it would be impossible to say who is the most beautiful. For me, I think a beautiful body definitely needs some curves, so I crossed out all the skinny people! I think Heidi is so beautiful, especially baby after baby, I hope I will be able to do that too!

In the movie world... I adore..

Johnny Depp.

NO I DON"T THINK he's hot. & actually I don't understand why girls would think that way, unless it's because they are truly overpower by his talents. Ok, I don't know anything about acting, but I do feel like he's one of the only actor who truly transforms in to the character that he is playing. Most of the time I don't even recongize that it's Johnny Depp in the movie unless I was told so.

oh... So I guess instead of someONE I adore with Five reasons why, I ended up with Five persons I adore. haha. Well, close enough!.

Emmys 2009 Beauty: Heidi Klum

2009 Emmy Awards nominee Heidi Klum walked the red carpet in a Marchesa gown, Lorraine Schwartz jewels, hair styled by Michel Aleman for Frederic Fekkai and make-up designed by Linda Hay.

Michel created a 50s inspired updo with a modern interpretation – ultra feminine with a bit of volume. To get the look he crafted soft texture with slight waves pulled back to softly frame the face. A strong middle part was accented by a chignon positioned back of the head at ear level. Michel started off by applying Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel to create some texture and then blow-dried the hair. Once dry, he applied Fekkai Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray to create the soft waves. He created a middle part and two pony tails in the back of the head at ear level, making sure the hair in front is smooth but pulled back softly. He teased each ponytail to create the volume and then brought together into one dramatic chignon. Michel finished off with the Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist.

The simplicity of Heidi’s gown inspired Linda Hay to keep her makeup minimal and fresh. She used a palette of pale pinks and apricots for her eyes and cheeks. To begin Hay used Brightener around her eyes, nose, and the corners of the mouth, blending everywhere to even out Heidi’s complexion. She followed this with a very light touch of cream powder blush on the cheeks.

On the eyes Hay used a selection of pale pink and lavender shadow's from Victoria’s Secret, applying the pale pink to the lid using a flat shadow brush, lavender in the crease using a pointed shadow brush and a silver to highlight just under the eyebrow. Under the eye Hay applied a touch of lavender using a small pointed shadow brush and then added a touch of silver to the inside corner of the eye to make it pop. Next she curled the lashes + applied 3 layers of Black Mascara to the top and bottom. Individual lashes were applied to the outside corners to make the eyes pop. The lips were lined with a nude lip liner then painted with a beige lipstick. She finished off Heidi’s look with Victoria’s Secret Body Perfecting Spray to make her skin glow.

Oscars 2009 Beauty: Heidi Klum

The inspiration behind Heidi Klum's Oscar beauty look began with her Roland Mouret gown. The graphic silhouette and bold red color of the dress required a softer, natural face to compliment the design rather than compete with it.

Make-up artist Linda Hay wanted to bring out on Heidi’s dramatic eyes and also incorporate the powder pink color of the coral and diamond Lorraine Schwartz jewelry on the lips and cheeks. Linda sought to create a look that was light and dewy while still modern and sexy.

Eyes:
Linda began by lining the top and bottom lashes with Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Eyeliner in Dark Chocolate and highlighting the inside triangle of the eye with a shimmering nude eye shadow in Champagne. She then used the Victoria Secret Spring Look Eye Shadow Quad to highlight the eyes and make them pop. Using a large shadow brush, Hay applied Rich to the crease, Devoted to the eyelid and Champagne again as a highlighter under the brow and the inside corner of the eye. Using a smaller point shadow brush she blended a soft line under the eye from the outside corner to the tear duct. To finish, Linda applied three coats of Victoria’s Secret High Definition Mascara in Blackest Black.

Cheeks:
On the cheeks, Linda used the new Victoria’s Secret Highlighter/Blush Duo in Fresh to the apple of the cheek to create the allusion of more defined bone structure.

Lips:
Linda lined the lips with the Perfect Lipstick in Whisper followed by Victoria’s Secret Lip Gloss in Blush for subtle pink finish.
