Troy Jesen's Blog: Best of 2009: Return of Old Hollywood Glam

Anyone who knows me knows that I love creating old Hollywood glam looks, and this year was no exception. We saw incarnations of old hollywood starlets in movies, in fashion, and on the red carpet. 2009 saw many of them come to life on my own muses. Kim Kardashian, Rachel McAdams, Megan Fox, Monique Zordan, and Haley Bennett all transformed into modern-day Vargas girls. I feel this is a trend that will carry on all through Spring as we see collections such as Dior influence the world with old Hollywood's past.

Troy Jesen's Blog: Best of 2009: Bold, Bright, Acid Color

Nothing defined this year's makeup trends more than bright, bold color did for me. This year, I took more chances than I ever did with color. I've never used such an array of bold acid colors as I did on my clients and muses during 2009. Orange, yellow, classic red, and fuschia dominated my color palette this year and kicked neutral beige and brown's butt. Don't get me wrong, I'll always love a classic smokey eye and beige lip but who says I can't do it with a splash of bright color? It has been a very creative year for me and I'm excited to do more bold makeup in 2010.
