2009 Beauty Awards: Make Up

This was a tough category. I mean so many stars get glammed up by some of the best make up artist in the industry for every red carpet event and basically any time they are in front of the camera. So I tried to think of whose make up is always on point every time I see them. There were still a few ladies in the running, but one stood out above the rest. When you hear her name, you think of her powerful voice. And just like her music her make up is always a hit.

And the winner is…Deborah Cox. Never over done or undone her look is classic, yet still fresh and youthful. Ms. Cox’s preferred make up artist is one of my favorites also–Sam Fine. She was featured in his book Fine Beauty. There were other names that I had at the ready as runner ups, but when I look at pictures of Deborah and then I look at the blank space on my screen waiting for a runner up…well, what can I say? Actually, she said it best: Nobody’s supposed to be here. I couldn’t help it. That was the song.

Now I know what some of you are thinking: “but so and so’s make up looks really nice.” Well, that may be true, but compare for yourselves. Those three you’re thinking of…I love them, but they aren’t doing this… check out these pics.

Oh, I almost forgot. Congratulations to Deborah Cox and her husband on the birth of their daughter. This is the third child for the couple.
