It takes a lot to be a bridesmaid these days. Between the dresses you won't ever wear again, the bachelorette parties, and tending to the needs of the bride-to-be, these girls deserve some credit.

Some nights you can't get your full eight hours of sleep in — heck, some nights, six is but a dream. And while there are countless brightening concealers on the market to assist in feigning well-restedness, I keep turning to Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Brightening Eye Perfector SPF 25 ($13). That's because it's light enough to not look obvious, but hefty enough to get the job done. Instead of masking the skin with a visible, glistening layer of product, this brightener lifts and subtly conceals. It's not full-on coverage, however. Reach for a corrector or heavy-duty concealer for times when you need to disguise the darkest of circles. Antioxidants such as chamomile, soy, and vitamin E protect, while a flow-through brush makes application smooth. Now if only your nightly appointment with Mr. Sandman could be just as effortless . . .
Forget bold hair color, glittery eye shadow, and neon lipstick; Ke$ha's 2013 Billboard Music Awards beauty look was anything but wild. Donning a neutral makeup palette and simply pretty ponytail, the songstress was almost unrecognizable. There's something to be said about low-key beauty, though. What's your take on Ke$ha's makeunder?
Taylor Swift was up to her old tricks at the Billboard Music Awards. The songstress stuck to her classic, beautiful look with thick black and blue eyeliner and a gorgeous pink lipstick hue. Her hair was kept simply slicked-back into a ponytail with her blunt bangs on full display.
Miley Cyrus kept up her pretty punk rock look at the Billboard Music Awards. The singer styled her short, peroxide blond hair in a slicked-back pompadour. Inky black liner, multiple coats of mascara, and painted red lips pulled her makeup look together.
Selena Gomez sizzled on the red carpet for the Billboard Music Awards. The singer's cat-eye eyeliner was sexy and smoky, while her Barbie-pink lipstick played off the neon hues on her dress. Selena finished the look off with an undone ponytail.
When you're a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival, like Nicole Kidman is for 2013's big event, stepping up your beauty and style A-game comes with the territory.
