Today I headed into Hollywood for an exclusive event at Quixote Studios put on by Shiseido makeup featuring Jordyn Woods and Patrick Ta. Plus many more celebs showed up for the fun later in the evening. Annalynne McCord, Lauren Bushnell and more stepped out on the red carpet and Jordyn Woods gave me an exclusive interview where she spilled about her 21st birthday and more!
Jordyn and Patrick stepped out on stage and talked to the crowd like we were all at a slumber party together. They were both so excited to try out the new products from Shiseido. Jordyn had no idea what Patrick was going to do for her so the final makeup look was a surprise. Halfway through Patrick asked her if she was nervous about the final look and she said, "Just a little bit!" Patrick told the audience his inspiration for today's look saying that he was originally inspired by the makeup he saw girls wearing on his recent trip to Tokyo.
He said, "It was all about shapes and that's what I'm doing today. In Tokyo everything is about being cutesy."
Patrick pulled out the Shiseido sparkling blush next and talked about how the girls in Tokyo used makeup to look cute rather than to appear sexier. He told us that blush was his favorite thing to apply to create a cutesy look because there was no way blush could look sexy.
Jordyn jumped in saying, "Don't get it twisted. Blush can be sexy, anything can be sexy if you want it to be." Everyone laughed.
Patrick continued with the look and gave the audience tips for looking red carpet ready while he worked.
He shared his top recommendations for a show stopping look saying, "Don't put highlighter on the smile lines or the middle of the forehead because it looks bad in photographs." And looking at Jordyn's final look he definitely knew what he was doing. I loved this tip because as a blogger I'm always taking pictures and you never know what kind of lighting you're going to be dealing with.
On the topic of highlighter he also said, "There's a fine line between dewy and oily." And less is definitely more when it comes to highlighter.
Jordyn added in her thoughts on experimenting with makeup while Patrick worked on her surprise look. She said, "I think makeup is the one thing that you can really have fun with. You can be wearing basic all black but if your makeup is fun nobody is paying attention to your outfit."
Finally it was time for the big reveal and Jordyn ended up loving the look!
She told me, "I actually really like it. Normally when I get my make up done I like to watch the process but this time I just let him do his thing. This is the first time he ever did my makeup. It's definitley there but it doesn't feel to heavy either. It actually all feels so light that I forgot that I look like this and every time I look in the mirror I'm like, Oh Okay."
I also talked with Jordyn after the big reveal to get the scoop on her favorite makeup looks and her recent birthday celebration. After the big reveal Shiseido presented Jordyn with a cake since she had just turned 21 a few days before and everyone sang happy birthday to help celebrate!
She told me that one of her favorite things to do was to match her makeup look to her outfit. She excitedly told me about one of her recent looks saying, "I like things to go well together. So normally I only get my makeup done if I have an event to go to but I like everything just to look cohesive so like the other night for my birthday look I was wearing this kind of holographic like red dress thing so I figured a gold eye would look good with it since there were gold accents in the dress."
After blowing out her candles Jordyn excitedly shared what it felt like finally being 21 with me. She told me a little about her party saying that she hadn't wanted to do the typical night in the club and had instead opted for a quieter celebration with her close friends and family. She said, "Yeah its crazy I feel like it happened so fast. I feel like after 18 21 is the next big birthday and I can't believe it's finally here! I'm 21 I'm legal it's actually happening and I feel like it's the next chapter for life"
The reality star is certainly headed for big things but growing up hasn't meant losing any closeness with her family. Jordyn took several selfies with her mom who accompanied her to the event looking so proud of her daughter all day.
As the event wrapped up everyone got gift bags filled with some fun Shiseido make up goodies that I can't wait to try out. Keep an eye out for my future posts to find out what was in it!
