Update: Victoria Beckham's Bob Is Still in the Past

Victoria Beckham's iconic bob is back .

Victoria Beckham's iconic bob is back . . . or so we all thought. Earlier this week she posted a photo on her Twitter page thanking stylist Tina Outen for a seemingly new haircut. Of course, we were hoping it was the return of her iconic asymmetrical bob that was part of her signature Posh Spice look. Turns out it was all a sham. She was spotted today with her long hair once again, but can we just say we're a little biased towards the long bob look. What do you think of Victoria's haircut fakeout?

The Best Makeup For Glasses

Glasses may make a big fashion statement, but they can sometimes stifle your creativity when it comes to eye makeup.

Glasses may make a big fashion statement, but they can sometimes stifle your creativity when it comes to eye makeup. The lenses in your glasses actually magnify your eyes, so it's the perfect opportunity to highlight one of your best features. Find out how to modify your favourite makeup looks for frames.

The lob is the hottest new hair trend, but now it seems Alice Eve and Nicole Richie are already giving the look an update. Both ladies were spotted recently with full-on fringe to accompany their long bob haircuts. Alice pulled out her brow-grazing bangs to promote Star Trek Into Darkness in Berlin, where she paired the look with a bright red lipstick. Yesterday at the AOL 2013 Digital Content NewFront, Nicole debuted thick blunt bangs that sweep deep down to her lashes. A long bob plus a long bang equals a stylish match this season.

What We're Sweet On: A Makeup Sponge You Can Reuse

If you're looking for a flawless makeup finish, then look no further than Beautyblender's Makeup Sponge Applicator Starter Kit ($35).

If you're looking for a flawless makeup finish, then look no further than Beautyblender's Makeup Sponge Applicator Starter Kit ($35). Designed with plenty of curves, this teardrop-shaped sponge works to eliminate visible lines and streaks that foundation brushes can leave behind. And because it's reusable, you won't feel the tinges of guilt you might experience with those disposable, wedge-shaped sponges. Just use the included cleanser to keep the sponge clean and long-lasting (up to six months with proper care).

For a smooth, soft-focus effect, wet the sponge (it doubles in size), and then stipple the rounded side along the face. It won't look or feel like you're wearing any makeup at all. Turn the sponge around to its pointy side for precision work along the nose, mouth, and eyes — even blemishes, too. Since its debut a few years back, Beautyblender has come out with black and white versions of the sponge and a mini for travel, but there's something about the original hot pink we can't help but love.

Zoe Saldana Wears an Up 'Do Brides Will Adore

Zoe Saldana may have been promoting Star Trek Into Darkness at a photo call for the film, but her sophisticated hairstyle was more retro glamour than space cadet.

Zoe Saldana may have been promoting Star Trek Into Darkness at a photo call for the film, but her sophisticated hairstyle was more retro glamour than space cadet. This elegant up 'do is similar to the look spotted on the Carolina Herrera runway, but the addition of a Jennifer Behr jewelled hair accessory gives Zoe's look vintage appeal. And with wedding season in full swing, it's a charming look for the bride. To get this look at home, create a deep side part and tuck the hair on the shorter side behind the ear and secure with pins. Then, loosely roll the remaining hair away from the hairline, tucking the ends in as you move around the head. Secure the roll with bobby pins as you go. Spray with a hair spray like Toni & Guy Casual Hairspray Flex Hold ($15.99) on your fingers and comb to help get the grip you need to keep hair from slipping (dry shampoo works well, too). Finally, add a flower, brooch, or hair comb to the style to steal Zoe's look — and red lipstick, of course.

This elegant updo is similar to the look spotted on the Carolina Herrera runway, but the addition of a jeweled hair accessory, Jennifer Behr's Delicate Vine Circlet ($498), gives Zoe's look vintage appeal. (Note how Elle Fanning recently styled the same headpiece in a floral wreath fashion for a completely different feel.) And with wedding season in full swing, it's a charming look for the bride.

What We're Sweet On: A Comb That Glides Through Kinks and Curls

Technically combing hair while wet is a big no-no.

Technically combing hair while wet is a big no-no. But if you've ever tried to detangle kinky hair, you know that conditioner and a wide-tooth comb are required. Thankfully, curl specialist Ouidad understands and created the Double Detangler ($26). This heavyweight comb has two rows of tines that don't snag on single-strand knots. Using the comb from the ends up to the roots easily eliminates tangles, meaning there's no need to go back a second or third time. Plus, we noticed that both the detangling time and the amount of hair around the drain were cut in half. You can't beat a comb that saves time and your strands.

Eye-Brightening Tricks For All Skin Tones

Last week, the celebrities taught a lesson in eye-brightening makeup techniques.

Last week, the celebrities taught a lesson in eye-brightening makeup techniques. Michelle Trachtenberg, Selita Ebanks, and Vanessa Hudgens were all spotted with illuminating shadow shades that can work on all skin tones.

Fair Skin: If you have a fair complexion, a white eyeliner like Shu Uemura's Eye Light Pencil White ($25) is a must have for your eye makeup kit. At Madonna's Fashion Evolution Pop-Up Exhibit, Michelle wore a shimmering shade on the bottom corners of her eyes, which was blended with royal blue liner underneath. Also, try applying the liner in the lower waterline to get a doe-eyed effect.

Medium Skin: For medium skin tones, take a note from Vanessa Hudgens's makeup look also from Madonna's Fashion Evolution Pop-Up Exhibit. She wore a pearlescent shadow like L'Oréal Infallible Eyeshadow in Endless Pearl on the inner corners of her eye and underneath. The iridescent shadow balances the inky black of her eyeliner and offers a brightening effect.

Dark Skin: At the Nylon cover celebration Selita Ebanks proved that dark lipstick can (and should) be worn in the Spring, but to counter the deep hue, she wore a shimmering taupe shadow like Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Tough as Taupe ($11.95) from her lash line to her brows. It's the ideal colour to draw light to the eyes on darker complexions.
