Met Gala Approved Beauty Trend: Vampy Lipstick

Tonight at the Met Gala, perhaps one of the most high fashion events of the year, the biggest names in the industry along with Hollywood's most talented walked the red carpet donning their most glamorous attire.  One beauty trend that couldn't go unnoticed was the plethora of dark lipstick that coated the pouts of Jessica Alba, Camilla Belle and Lana Del Rey.  They were all sporting a vampy lip look to compliment their metallic gowns.  Here's how to get the look. Jessica Alba in Michael Kors

Jessica wore a deep red lip that reminded me of one of my favorite color combos from Nars.  To get the look, try Nars Lipstick in Fire Down Below layered over Nars Lipliner in African Queen.

Camilla Belle in Ralph Lauren

Camilla reportedly blended her lip look herself creating a deep burgundy glossy shade that  reads almost black.  Into it?  Try Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Cassis and top it with an even vampier gloss like YSL Black Lip Gloss.

Lana Del Rey in Altuzarra

The mission was to represent her music.  Mission accomplished.  The singer wore a matte, deep, velvet red lip.  Check out Illamasqua Lipstick in Matte Deep Scarlet Red.

5 Questions with Whitney Port

There are a few reality stars I admire, and  Bethenny Frankel and Whitney Port are two of them. They've used their reality TV audience to help them build an empire and pursue their dreams as business women.  After her stints on The Hills and The City, Whitney launched her sassy clothing line, Whitney Eve, and now the designer has a new gig as a judge on Britian's Next Top Model, works as a Spokesperson with Crest and is about to launch a jewelry line.  I got the scoop on all of that and and of course, her fave beauty products.  Check it out. What are your must-have beauty products and why?

- Lucas Papaw ointment for its moisturizing lip balm actions

- Moroccan oil for moisturizing my ends

- The new Crest 3D White Glamorous White Toothpaste and Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips to get my smile white and bright, and to keep it that way

- Fresh high noon tinted moisture for a sheer cover on my face

- Illamasqua cream blush for a dewy peachy cheek on my apples

Congratulations on your gig on Britain's Next Top Model. What do you think of the modeling industry in the UK compared to the US?  

I think the modeling industry there is exactly the same. There is the pressure to be thin, unique looking, have a mix of a commercial and a high fashion look, a great personality, be easy to work with and motivated.

How is it to work with Tyson Beckford?  

He was like my big brother. He looked after me and made sure I was always taken care of and protected. He loves a good night out which was fun to be a part of.

You've also just launched a jewelry line!  Who or what were you inspired by? I was inspired by various pieces of costume jewelry I have picked up along the way on my travels. When I am with my mom we will visit little flea markets and find so much cool stuff, so I did a mix of metals and chains and golds.

When you're not working, what's your guiltiest pleasure? Manicures and pedicures!
