Try This Hair Removal Method Before Your Big Day

In the world of hair removal, everyone wants a budget-friendly option that promises to remove hair quickly without traumatizing the body during the procedure. Sugaring seems to be the best alternative when it comes to getting rid of unwanted hair. It costs about the same as waxing, but instead of potentially breaking the hair off at the skin's surface, this mixture of sugar, lemon, and honey removes the hair directly from the follicle, allowing it to grow back softer, less coarse, and thus, less noticeable. So who is it best for? Decide if sugaring is right for you.

It will make the process at lot easier and less daunting. Celebrity makeup artist and self-proclaimed "wing master" Troy Jensen teaches us the insider tricks to upping the wing ante.

Make Your Own Makeup Refresher For the Reception

One of my first beauty purchases as a teenager was Mario Badescu's Facial Spray. My mom drove me to a beauty boutique two towns over, so I could use my allowance money to buy it — all because Hilary Duff raved about its skin-saving benefits. Her skin was (and is!) amazing, so I knew it had to be worth it. My friends went and purchased it because of me — we were like a rosewater gang of sorts. It made my skin glow, and for someone with perpetually dry skin, this is somewhat of a miracle product. Plus, it helped coif unruly baby hairs. I carried that giant spray bottle to school in my backpack and now keep the travel size handy in my purse — a loyal fan over 10 years later.

This spray is full of aloe and herbs, but the main ingredient is rosewater. It's anti-inflammatory and calming, so it's a real treat when you're traveling or need to refresh your makeup. So the real question is why wouldn't you make your own at home? The recipe is simple, has the best scent, and makes a great gift to boot.

In case you're not the DIY type, you can pick up Mario Badescu's cult favorite ($7) yourself.

The Dos and Don'ts of Applying Self-Tanner

There's a reason why Victoria's Secret Angels get airbrush-tanned before their big show — it creates that gorgeous glow and helps accentuate their best assets. And while I'm sure the Angels would look immaculate even without their signature tan, it does inspire a lot of women to get the look themselves.

We all know by now that broad spectrum UV rays are dangerous and not worth the risk, which is why the "fake bake" or faux tan continues to rise in popularity. But where does one even begin when it comes to the self-tan? How do you keep it from looking like a streaky mess? When is the best time to do it? What technique should be used? Here are some of the best tips to ensure a flawless faux glow.

Going Brunette: What to Know Before Embracing the Dark Side

Going brunette (or darker, at least) is synonymous with the Fall season. But before you venture over to the dark side, there are a few things to keep in mind.

It will just make it darker," explains celebrity colorist George Papanikolas, who has worked with brunette beauties such as Miranda Kerr, Mila Kunis, and Sofia Vergara. So how can you keep your hair healthy and achieve the right shade of brunette for your skin tone? Papanikolas schools us during our visit to the Andy Lecompte Salon in West Hollywood in LA where he transformed one client's hair right before our eyes.

Watch now to see how you can accentuate your flutter with flair.
