On Saturday evening at the the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, DC, the one woman whose elegant evening makeup look stood out from the rest was Jenny McCarthy. Marcia Cross came in as a close second, while Pamela Anderson's hair and makeup looked unkempt and, frankly, rather trashy for such a conservative event.
Jenny has been looking fabulous lately. She's in great physical shape, she seems to be in love with Jim Carrey, and she's recently been playing around with shorter bangs. For product suggestions and application tips so that you can re-create Jenny's makeup look at home, read more
The next time you see a woman whip out her lipstick, pay close attention. What looks like a lipstick might be something else entirely. Check out this slide show to see the range of crazy items disguised as an innocent tube of lipstick — and let me know if you'd ever use them yourself.
The beautiful brown-eyed Entourage star, Emmanuelle Chriqui, cut a couple of inches off her long, brunette hair for the Young Hollywood Awards last night in Los Angeles. Not many people could part with such healthy, shiny curls. Do you think it looks better longer or at the present collar-bone length?
Shiny Lips = Skin Cancer Risk
We all want lovely, shiny lips, but those beautiful balms and glosses might just be putting your pouty mouth at risk for skin cancer. A new study shows that shiny lips attract the sun's rays more than matte lips do. Check out Fit's suggestion for protecting your kisser.
Remember back in early March when I told you that Sally Hansen was partnering with Carmindy Bowyer from What Not to Wear to create a makeup line called Natural Beauty? Well, it has finally launched and I've just had the chance to check out the goods. The collection includes 16 items ranging from cream bronzers to lip glosses. The products are light in texture and rich in pigment. If I had to rate their blendability, I'd give them a seven on a scale of one to 10.
My favorite products include the powder bronzers, the cream and powder blushes, and the liquid eyeliner. Everything is paraben-free and full of natural, gentle, and healthy ingredients such as soy, bamboo, and fruit. For details and prices on each of the 16 items, read more
Kristin Cavallari went with a black-lace, bra-baring top at The Breeders' Cup Winners Circle Event in LA. She paired it with black skinny pants, and kept things neutral with beige patent pumps and a matching clutch.
