2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Alyson Hannigan

BellaSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:36:13 -0700

How I Met Your Mother star Alyson Hannigan is here tonight to support not only her show but also her castmate Neil Patrick Harris, who is hosting the event. In her excitement, Alyson brought out her biggest hair. What do you think of it? Is it bedhead chic or a little too retro? Beyond the hair, she went with a dark mauve-y eyeshadow that almost matches her hair color, slightly softer cheeks, and an orange-y-pink pout. What do you all think of Alyson's entire look? Is she rocking it tonight?

Which Bangs Style Looks Best on Alyson Hannigan?

Yesterday, Alyson Hannigan made an appearance on MTV's TRL with short, funky, feathered bangs. It made me take notice since I wouldn't normally peg her as the '80s rocker type. I think it looks cute, as does her short, straight blunt-cut bangs, and her side-swept bangs - all styles which she's worn over the past six months. Which bangs style do you like the most on Alyson?

How-To: Work With Your Widow's Peak

BellaSugar — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:00:36 -0700

A widow's peak is a dominantly inherited v-shape that dips down along the hairline. Perhaps one of my best friend's most enduring features is her widow's peak, which lends even more character to her friendly disposition. Do you know anyone with this distinctively cool feature?

Female celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Alyson Hannigan, Fran Drescher, and Milla Jovovich all have widow's peaks, along with Keanu Reeves, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Colin Farrell on the men's front. Perhaps you have this genetic trait, too. If so, here are some tips and techniques for making it work. Just read more.

Let it be: Your widow's peak makes you uniquely you, so why hide it? When choosing a hairstyle, focus on your overall face shape instead, whether it's heart, square, oval, or round.
The true heart: A true heart-shaped face will have a wider forehead, pointier chin, and a widow's peak. In this particular case, choose styles that give volume around the jawline, avoiding cuts that provide fullness around the temples. Also, steer clear of blunt bangs, which can look too severe.
Curly girly: Notice how Marilyn's widow's peak blends in with her curl? Add a few swooping rounded curls in the mix to provide a soft effect.
Hair removal: If you absolutely must create a straighter hairline, avoid shaving, which can leave an obvious stubbly line. Instead, consider tweezing, but don't go overboard.
Do the splits: Your widow's peak might act like a cowlick, causing unwanted splitting along your hairline. To coerce it to behave, start with damp hair and focus the air flow from your blow-dryer down toward the peak, tautly pulling hair over and around it to blend.
Banged up: Side parts and soft, swooping bangs are perfect ways to work with your widow's peak. Also, fun, spiky undercut bangs blend nicely with a descending v hairline, providing a stylish face-framing effect.
