Kim Cattrall's Secrets to Staying Sexy at Any Age

We're very excited to present this story from one of our favorite sites, Daily Makeover!

We're very excited to present this story from one of our favorite sites, Daily Makeover!

To say that Kim Cattrall knows sexy is like saying a fish knows how to swim--it just doesn't do justice to her innate ability to inhabit her sensuality. The 54-year-old actress spent the last decade as one of TV's most sexualized characters on HBO's Sex And The City. When we got the chance to sit down with Kim, who is the new face of Olay's Total Effects anti-aging body line, we got the scoop on how she continues to look so amazing. The soft-spoken star says women need to get rid of the notion that sexy means over-the-top. "I always think that less is more," she says. "There's a point where you look in the mirror and say 'Is this too much?' and if you even have that inclination than it usually is."

Simplify Your Beauty Routine

We're excited to share this Daily Makeover story from Clark's Botanicals founder Francesco Clark, who gives you some tips on paring down your routine: No one has hours to primp every day, so we learn to adapt and customize certain products to specific needs we have, experimenting to see what works best.

We're excited to share this Daily Makeover story from Clark's Botanicals founder Francesco Clark, who gives you some tips on paring down your routine:

No one has hours to primp every day, so we learn to adapt and customize certain products to specific needs we have, experimenting to see what works best.

I'm a firm believer in a streamlined, eco-conscious approach to beauty. Double-duty beauty products fall right into the less is more philosophy, so I'm happy to share my tried-and-true tips to streamline your beauty routine.

  • Tinted lip balms can also work as cheek stains. Just make sure to use sparingly for a slight flush!
  • Cleansers formulated with salicylic acid can double as a shampoo to combat a greasy scalp.
  • A great standby solution if you get a big red zit is to dab some Visine on it. It really will get the red out!
  • In a pinch, you can use a rich moisturizer or facial mask as a hair grooming cream. A tiny dab tames flyaways and keeps hair in place.
  • Bronzing gel can be used as temporary hair highlights. Starting at the roots, smooth a little on select strands to add shine and dimension.
  • Lip balms are the multi-tasker of the beauty world. I love to use it as an eyebrow tamer or as a cuticle cream.

Makeup artist Gina Brooke has created looks for Madonna, Anne Hathaway, and Gisele Bundchen, and has a wealth of beauty knowledge. We're excited to share this Daily Makeover story by her:

The holidays are a joyful time, but also a time where we tend to overindulge — whether it's by eating too many sweets and salty snacks or drinking to the point of regret. We especially seem to notice it the next morning when we look in the mirror and see the lovely side effects of our late night filled with excess — skin appears dry, tight and sallow, and our eyes are puffy from too much salt intake. Fortunately there are some quick and easy home remedies and makeup tricks to resolve these problems. Get the scoop after the jump.

The 5-Minute Party Makeover

We love makeup artist Gina Brooke, so we're happy to share this Daily Makeover story by her: Primping for the party season sometimes means turning out a look at a moment's notice.

We love makeup artist Gina Brooke, so we're happy to share this Daily Makeover story by her:

Primping for the party season sometimes means turning out a look at a moment's notice. For those occasions when you only have a few minutes, here are two high-glam looks that will make the A.M. to P.M. transition seamless.

All you need for the first look is a highlighter and red lipstick. I've extolled the virtues of highlighters before, but they really do imbue the skin with an instant radiant glow. Just apply to the apples of the cheeks, down the bridge of the nose and on the jaw bone.

Next create a bold, red pout. Start with a neutral liner first. Don't just fill in the lines—use the liner over the entire lips to create a base for your lipstick. Using a lip brush, apply a richly pigmented lipstick from the outer corner to the inner corner, then repeat from the other side.

If sultry eyes are more your thing, try a metallic smoky look. Choose a shadow duo with a black and a metal shade like gunmetal gray, silver or bronze. I love Hourglass' Visionaire in Prism. Using a shadow brush, apply the lighter shade to the base of your lid, working your way from the inside corner out. Use your finger to blend for a gradation of color.

Apply the dark shade, but avoid applying it all the way across to the inner corner of the eyes—this can make your eyes appear smaller. Blend the two colors together, then add a couple of coats of mascara, and a neutral lip shade, and you are ready to hit the town.

Either one of these are fantastic party looks and should take you less than five minutes to do!

How To Manage Your Roots

We're excited to present this article by colorist Rita Hazan.

We're excited to present this article by colorist Rita Hazan. It's from one of our favorite sites, Daily Makeover!

I am not a big fan of roots or the "rooty look." I get the whole ombre effect, but that's for if you're in your early 20s, otherwise it's aging and makes you look unmaintained and too busy to care for yourself. Not a very glamorous look!

Now, if you do color your hair, 4-8 weeks is an appropriate time to wait in between. I'd rather clients have bad roots than try to use at home color or go to someone new for a quick root touch up—those usually lead to hair color catastrophes.

A Super-Easy Liquid Liner Tip

We're happy to present this article from one of our favorite sites, Daily Makeover!

We're happy to present this article from one of our favorite sites, Daily Makeover!

Love the sexy look of liquid liner but hate how hard it is to achieve? If your hands are shaky or you just can't seem to keep that line straight, take a hint from Benefit co-founder Jean Ford — she swears by an oh-so-simple eyeliner technique that she's been using faithfully since the '70s. In honor of the launch of the brand's new Magic Ink Jet-Black Liquid Eyeliner, Ford shared this patented trick with us to help you achieve a flawless line like Lauren Conrad's here.

First, take your liquid liner brush and place it at the inner corner of your eyes. Say the phrase "Jimmy Jimmy dot" out loud, moving the brush over the upper lashline, but not touching the skin. Every time you say "dot," make a dot of black liner in between your lashes. When you've gotten to the outer corner of the eye, take the brush and connect the dots along your lashline. Space out the dots for natural-looking volume, or place them close together for a sleek line. No more shaky, broken lines!
