Get That Golden Globes Glow With Celeb-Tested Bare-Faced Beauty Tips!

Posted in: Uncategorized

The Golden Globes may have come and gone (leaving Oscar buzz in the air!), but it’s definitely not too late to pick up some fresh-faced beauty tips straight from the red carpet! While the paparazzi parade to the big event is commonly an outlet for dramatic red lips and come-hither smokey eyes, many of this year’s nominees and attendees opted for a noticeably more natural makeup look. Though settling on more bare-faced, bone-hued beauty may seem boring or inappropriate for one of Hollywood’s most dramatic nights, this fair-toned style actually fared quite well for the event’s lovely leading ladies. From shimmering subtle shades of gold to pale rosy pinks, stunning starlets like Megan Fox and Eva Mendes proved that delicate hues are anything but dull! Check out the slideshow for more natural-hued makeup looks and the products you can use to achieve them, straight from some of A-list’s elite! Photo credit: PR Photos

Nelly Furtado Explores Her Fashion Mishaps On MTV’s “What Were U Thinking?”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWe all have a few outfits we’ve worn in the past that, when confronted with the pictures, makes us want to burn every piece that went into the outfit along with all the photos in a big evidence-ridding bonfire. Who hasn’t scrolled through photos of themselves on Facebook and with a quick click of the “remove tag” button thought, “What was I thinking?!” Luckily for us non-famous folk, our fashion mishaps and momentary lapses of judgment aren’t printed on every newsstand tabloid, paraded on national television, or discussed in Twitter trending topics. On MTV’s web series, “What Were U Thinking?” famous fashionistas like Kim Kardashian and Kristin Cavallari get a chance to defend their style choices, give praise to designers, make fun of their own faux pas, and provide us insight into some of their biggest “WWUT?” moments (for example, was Nelly’s “I’m Like a Bird” get-up for real?!). Click “See Video” to watch the show’s most recent guest, Nelly Furtado, dish on her favorite funky wardrobe highs and lows, then click over to the show’s official site to see past guests’ episodes and the show’s October 12th finale with “Twilight’s” Ashley Greene.

Katy Perry Interviews Karl Lagerfeld At Paris Fashion Week

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageQuirky songstress Katy Perry chats with Karl Lagerfeld after his show at Paris Fashion Week in an exclusive interview for Elle.com. It’s certainly a rare chance to peek into the personality of one of the world’s most esteemed designers. Is he intimidating? Yes, but there is a certain warmth about his demeanor, even as he corrects Katy when she expresses her adoration for the fabric, not metal embellishment on a particular dress. The two discuss music and fashion, and we learn fun facts like what he listened to as he got dressed this morning and what song he feels describes himself best (by none other than Lily Allen, of course). His response to the requisite “if you could trade places with any designer” question is a careful mix of smug satisfaction and pure respect. Oh, and he makes jokes too! Click here to see the interview for yourself.
