Who's a CoverGirl?

Lipstick Nation

The entryway to Los Angeles restaurant Boa was decorated in all sorts of fun and sparkly CoverGirl paraphernalia. Along with a few other lucky editors, I got primped and pampered by my own hair stylist and makeup artist before heading inside. In fact, that lipstick almost matched the one I was wearing.

Makeup Royalty

Even though she came straight from hosting duties at the People's Choice Awards, Queen Latifah was one of the first to arrive. I was most impressed by her dope shades and shiny sneaks ... and the way she commanded the room from the minute she walked in.

Country Strong

Confession: It made me pretty excited that Taylor Swift and I were wearing the same lipstick shade that night, CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Flame. Taylor's makeup artist Lorrie Turk tells us, "We decided to go for a fresh, pretty beauty look for Taylor. She opted for a slight departure from her signature bright-red lip for more of an orangy-red."

Pretty Pair

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia both looked amazing. I absolutely want to wear Portia's party ponytail for my next big event. Perhaps paired with Ellen's smoky eye, which makeup artist Heather Currie picked because "I wanted Ellen to have a classic, clean and beautiful look. At the same time, because she has such vibrant eyes, I wanted to do something sexy and smoky to add a little glamour." Try CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky.

Sexy Siren

"Dania’s makeup inspiration was a twist on a classic beauty look," says makeup artist Matthew VanLeeuwen. "She called me earlier that day to tell me she was in love with her dress and thought she wanted a red lip, which I totally agreed with once I saw her outfit." I also especially loved Dania's skin, which was literally glowing. Try CoverGirl NatureLuxe Foundation in Nutmeg.

Tangerine Dream

"It all started obviously with her [Jil Sander] dress," says Drew's makeup artist, Debra Ferullo. "It was a gorgeous orange color that reminded us of the French Riviera, so I wanted to create a fresh, dewy look." And what's more important for a look like that than blush? Not much. Drew's wearing CoverGirl Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry.

Patio Paradise

The outdoor space was filled with banquets for partygoers. And yes, that is foundation hanging from the tree. More than a few guests were spotted grabbing a few for the road. There was also a photo booth where guests could take shots and get printouts of their very own CoverGirl ads.

Play My Song

DJ Samantha Ronson kept the crowd pumped and dancing with everything from '70s classics to Jay-Z. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear what Portia and Ellen were requesting.

Candyland

One room had a Godiva bar, where you could order any sort of chocolate you fancied. Had I not been on a juice fast, who knows how many I would have downed.

Model Guest

Lots of former models and other pretty Hollywood types joined in the festivities. Here, former model Beverly Johnson walks the gold carpet.

Blonde Ambition

Former CoverGirl Niki Taylor was basically what my teenage self wished I looked like. And boy, has she aged well. She arrived with model pal Rachel Hunter.

A Darker Shade

Lauren Conrad debuted her new brown locks at the party. She was also sporting a gorgeous winged eye as part of her makeup look.

Splash of Color

I love that Whitney Port chose bright-red nail polish to complement her pale blue dress. It's the perfect kind of contrast.

Lash Out

Actress Brittany Snow was sitting at a table across from me, and I swear you could spot her ridiculously long lashes from there. If those aren't extensions, color me hugely jealous.

Breezy & Still Beautiful

Cheryl Tiegs graced many a CoverGirl ad years ago. I'm thinking maybe it's time they re-sign her!

All year long, CoverGirl is celebrating that every woman is indeed a CoverGirl and they're offering tons of cool prizes and experiences. Check out What Makes You a CoverGirl on Facebook to find out more.
