The Secret to Better-Looking Nail Art Is Just $5

If you're into nail art but have a shaky hand, don't stress for even a second.

If you're into nail art but have a shaky hand, don't stress for even a second. Revlon's nail art stencils ($5) make creating your own nail designs at home a cinch. The pack comes with 10 individual stencils, so you can create a look for all your digits, or you can use a couple at a time to create an embellished accent nail.

I opted for the curved heart design, which I placed at the base of my nail. All you have to do is adhere the stencil to dry polished nails and apply a generous coat of a contrasting lacquer. After you've polished over the stencil, pull off gently while the varnish is still wet, and admire your handiwork. Interested? Hurry to the drugstore and nab your own limited-edition stencils while supplies last.

Halle Berry's makeup artist has a secret to the actress' ultraglamorous beauty look, and it's all about the right mix. For the premiere of Halle's new film Cloud Atlas, makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua reached for two different brands of makeup: Chanel and Revlon. Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara ($34, available November 2012) drew attention to Halle's eyes, which were further emphasized by Revlon ColorStay Eye Shadow in Siren ($7). "I created an eye look with blended charcoals and shimmery silvers to complement the silver colors in [her] dress," Bua said. This updated take on the smoky eye is simple and seductive, and it's the perfect way to mix and match your products.

Before and After: How to Wear Makeup For the Perfect Picture

I've sometimes wished a professional makeup artist was on hand for a consultation before my photo was taken.

I've sometimes wished a professional makeup artist was on hand for a consultation before my photo was taken. The opportunity for that to actually happen arose this week, when Revlon's Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman volunteered her makeover services. Gucci, who's worked with the likes of Cameron Diaz and Kim Kardashian, walked me through the steps she used to get my visage ready for the camera. She shared some beauty tips — and revealed how she's prepping to survive another Fashion Week — just before a portrait session with photographer Michael Fine began.

I presented Gucci with a relatively bare face, which you can see at right.

To read Gucci's tips, and to see the results of her hard work, just read on.

Manicure Monday: A $4 Polish That Dazzles and Delights

We'll be straight with you: The first coat of Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia nail polish ($4) isn't nearly as pretty as the polish in the bottle.


We'll be straight with you: The first coat of Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia nail polish ($4) isn't nearly as pretty as the polish in the bottle. Instead of a trippy space-odyssey purple glittersplosion, it's a sheer black with bits of sparkle. Stick with it for two more coats, though, and you'll be rewarded with layers of hexagonal and fine glitter over a black jelly base. In a word: gorgeous. It's part of Revlon's limited-edition Expressionists makeup collection, which also features glittery pale pink and blue polishes in the same vein. Like all glitter polishes, this one takes some work to remove, but it's so pretty that you won't mind.

Nude Lips (and Missing Pants) at Rag & Bone

As is the case every season, Revlon Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman created a makeup look for Rag & Bone.

As is the case every season, Revlon Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman created a makeup look for Rag & Bone. It's a show dear to her heart, since she's not just a makeup maestro, but is also married to the line's codesigner David Neville. Backstage, she said that she initially toyed with doing a strong lip look for the Spring 2012 show, but ultimately went with a nearly nude lipstick instead. "I just wanted it to be super easy," she said, adding that the neutral makeup palette didn't compete with the clothes. (Get the look with Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks in Demure and Silver City Pink.) And it's clear that Westman is a fan of the collection. She confessed to falling in love with a pair of Rag & Bone trousers, then taking them home — and unbeknownst to her, they happened to be destined for the runway. "David called me in a panic yesterday," she admitted. "Busted! How embarrassing is that?" In the end, all was well: pants were returned, the models looked fresh, and Rag & Bone looks destined to continue its string of enthusiastically received collections.

If you thought Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde were everywhere already, get ready to see them in the drugstore, too. The pair just signed on as Revlon's latest global ambassadors and will front a new line of makeup and nail polish starting in 2012. They'll have television, print, digital, and magazine spots coming up, although no word yet on what their new collection will be based around.

"Creatively, Revlon has never been afraid to push the envelope, which is important to me," Olivia said of her new gig. "I also love that they use their tremendous recognizability around the world to do good as one of the industry's biggest champions of women's health. It's exciting to join a company with a big heart and big ideas."

Emma and Olivia will be joining Revlon's current ambassadors Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Halle Berry, and Elle Macpherson. Will you be interested in taking a look at their campaigns and the products they'll front?
