Drew Barrymore has always had a childlike sense of play when it comes to makeup, from the vampy dark red lipstick and pin-thin eyebrows she embraced in the 1990s, to the cat eyeliner and pastel shadows she sported in the early 2000s, to the cool-as-hell turquoise eyeliner I spotted her wearing a year or so ago as she was enjoying a free Saturday at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs.
“That was an amazing Shu Uemura blue crayon that’s been discontinued!” she said. “I still have it.”
So it makes sense that her latest role is beauty mogul. Barrymore launched her own line of cosmetics called Flower Beauty ($4.98 to $13.98) at Wal-Mart stores earlier this year, and recently threw a party at the Olive and June nail salon in Beverly Hills to celebrate the debut of a new range of nail polish hues, including a metallic green called “Evening Primrose” and a cool blue-gray called “Bluebell of the Ball.”
“We weren’t sure we were going to get to do nails until the last minute, even though we’d found this lab that does really amazing high-end formulas and built-in topcoats, and we’d already picked the bottles,” said Barrymore, who is expecting her second child next year, and was dressed in a J. Crew top, camouflage jacket and orange high-heels, with some killer striped and two-toned nail art.
