I'm sorry, I know everyone is sick of Kate Gosselin but these photos are way too funny and I had to share.  US magazine tested out the Kate hairdo on our fave celebs and I can't decided who looks best because they all kinda look good in this bizarre style!  I guess when you're beautiful you can shave your head and still look hot!  Who do you thinks looks the best???  My vote is for Angie-- the awkward trashy style somehow doesn't look out of place for her.  What do you think?

Celeb Trend: Cat Liner

I love cat eyes!
So sexy (at least the kind achieved via liner, not plastic surgery a la Jocelyn Wildenstein). Taylor Swift has the perfect eyes to pull-off this look since her eyes are so narrow, though I think Jordana Brewster's cat liner is executed the best. A girl I went to High School with actually works with Lancome now so I asked her if she could get us the scoop on how to achieve this look. She delivered and I was able to get some tips from Lancome Makeup Artist Andrew Sotomayor! Sotomayor told me that to achieve this look you need an eye primer, a matte ivory eye shadow, brow pencil, liquid liner and mascara. He suggests -- Ombre Perfecteur in Clair, Color Design Eye Shadow in Daylight, Le Crayon Poudre in Brunet, Artliner liquid liner in Noir, and Definicils mascara in Black (all from Lancome). Once you've got all the essentials, Sotomayor says start "at the inner corner of the eye and drag it along the upper lash line (tip: pressing hard creates a thick line, pressing more softly creates a thinner line). To get that classic look, draw a sharp angle that starts at the outer corner of the eye and points to the end of your eyebrow." Are you going to be sporting cat liner this season?


Celeb Beauty: Steal Emma Roberts' Look!

| 2 Comments
emmarobertsbeautysnob.jpgFresh faced beauty Emma Roberts has finally stepped out of the shadows of her superstar aunt (Julia) and father (Eric) with blockbuster hit "Hotel for Dogs" and a new film "Lyme Life".  We love that she dresses her age and keeps her make up natural and minimal.  This is what all 18 year olds should look like!  Actually, this is what all women should look like no matter what age.

To get the look (whether you're 18 or 48) she sported at the premiere of her latest flick, we enlisted the aid of Neutrogena Cosmetic Science Expert, Matin who created this look for her.
(Emma is also the Ambassador of Neutrogena cosmetics!)

Face:
"For Emma's glowing skin I began with Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Makeup in Natural Buff followed by Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Concealer Kit SPF 20, Fair."

Eyes:"To make Emma's eyes 'pop' I started with the Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Duo in Fairy Dust . I swept the lighter base shade all over the lid and applied the deeper accent shade along the base of Emma's upper lashes, blending it upward toward the crease of her eyelid.
Next I lined the inside rim of her eye with Neutrogena Nourishing Eyeliner in Cosmic Black. I continued the line around both the top and bottom lashes for definition."
"I finished Emma's eyes with a few coats of Neutrogena Healthy Volume Waterproof Mascara in Carbon Black 06 for a bolder look."

Lips: "I complimented Emma's bold eyes with a natural lip. The Neutrogena MoistureShine Lipstick SPF 20 Lip Color in Angel's Blush has a sheer texture that delivered just the right amount of color."

Celeb Fave: emerginC

emerginc.jpgemerginc 1.jpgemerginc 2.jpg

I've been hearing about various celebrities -- Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Nicky Hilton -- all using products from this mysterious line called emerginC where vitamins are actually visible in the bottle! After some digging I found-out that emerginC was launched in 1996 with their signature vitamin C serum ($75). Now, just a few years later, they've got a whole line of active, advanced cosmeceutical products and professional treatments that they're claiming deliver rapid, visible results for all skin types. I'm totally fascinated by this line -- kinda of in the same way I was by all those crazy-fun mascaras that were making waves last year. I'm intrigued by two of their products in particular -- the vitaminc C serum which targets fine lines and crows feet around the eye area and the d-red daytime emulsion ($69.50), which targets red-prone skin (I grew-up thinking I had rosacia because I always had such red cheeks!). I'm a little nervous to try them though -- products described as having medical and cosmeceutical-grade ingredients always scare me especially because I'm still young and my face isn't caked with wrinkles. That said Nicky Hilton is around my age so who knows, maybe I'll be adventurous and give 'em a whirl.

Celeb Trend: Teal Eye Liner

| 1 Comment
RACHEL BILSON TEAL.jpg All photos from people.com
I love trying out new shadows and eyeliners and I totally owe my current infatuation with teal eye liner to Beauty Snob Tina! Ever since she gave me Estee Lauder's Aqua Teal eye liner I've been nothing short of obsessed with the color -- so perfect for sunny spring days! Seems I'm not the only one -- Rachel Bilson looks cute with a touch of teal and though I could never pull-off the all over-color look that Demi Lovato has got going on, she wears it well. Besides Estee Lauder 's teal liner, Elizabeth Arden's Color Intrigue Gel Eyeliner in Ocean Teal is a great find. I usually stick with pencils, but this gel liner glides on super easily and makes for a very vivid color that complements my blue eyes nicely. It also includes an eyeliner brush and it's surprisingly long lasting (as is the Estee Lauder one) -- for the most part I didn't need to re-apply all day/night. I know a lot of people are scared of trying bold eye liner colors, but I've been pairing the teal with a mix of Prescriptives' Pongee, Bellini, and a touch of Sage and the result is a light airy eye that's truly nothing to be nervous about! How do you wear you color eye liner?

I had the chance to ask Ramy Gafni --Celebrity Makeup Artist and Eyebrow Guru -- what he thought about the above celebrity photos. See below for what the expert had to say about Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Garner, and Jennifer Connelly's eye brows along with some tips for achieving the right brow shape!
Ramy Gafni: What I see when I look at these photos of Jennifer Garner, Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Connelly is that your facial shape (round, oval, heart shaped or square) does not determine your brow shape. Some people are born with a thicker eyebrow, like Jennifer Connelly, and some with a less strong brow, like Jennifer Garner. The key is to take the brows you're born with and shape them into the most flattering shape for your individual facial type.

* A round face looks best with a stronger, straighter eyebrow which can add needed angles to a round face.

* An oval face looks best with a medium fullness and classic arch.

* A long face looks best with a stronger, higher arch.

* A square face looks best with a slightly rounder arch to add needed softness.

The above are just guidelines, however, as you have to take into account not just your facial shape, but also how thick or thin your "virgin" eyebrows are to begin with, how dense or sparse your brow hairs are, the size and shape of your eyes, how close set or far apart your eyes are, your age and finally, what look you are trying to achieve. More after the jump!

Celeb Look: Porcelain Skin

Last year for 4th of July weekend I went out to my parents place in Southampton and we spent a day on my dad's boat. As I've said before I have very pale skin so in the middle of summer I need to be lathered up in tons of SPF. Unfortunately in the rush to get ready I somehow mistook my moisturizer for my sunblock and ended-up spending four hours on a boat not realizing I had no sun protection on! Needless to say the second I got off the boat I realized I was starting to turn red -- by the end of the day I looked like a tomato! I ended up collapsing from a mix of heat and dehydration soon after and was rushed by my parents to a doctor where I was told I was lucky that I didn't have permanent burn damage. Turns out I was saved by my makeup which, though minimal, had some SPF in it. Now with summer approaching I'm making a conscious effort to use, in addition to sunblock, makeup with SPF. I'm so excited for the new line hissyfit which will be launching in May. The line is made-up of four products -- hissyfit saving face SPF 50+, body double spf 30+, handy work spf 30+ and lip service spf 50+ to keep porcelain skin safe! More after the jump!
