New York Fashion Week is underway and last night's hugely star-studded Fashion's Night Out event got it off to an amazing start! Our editors were there to grab some footage of the night's craziness including Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani, Anna Wintour, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Watch our PopSugar Rush Fashion's Night Out special to get a taste of the action!

Trend Alert: Heavy on the Liner

BellaSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:59:16 -0700

OK, pencils down, now who's got the right answer? In this case, it's thick black eyeliner. Each of these women used heavy hands for their black eyes at the CFDA Awards. There's a blurry difference between heavily lined and smoked up, so let's discuss. Kirsten Dunst has the most outlined look as her stroke - even the bottom! - traces the entire eye on the lash line. Ashley Olsen, on the other hand, has equally thick lines, but she blurs the edges into a cat-eye shape for a sultry rock look. Lastly, Heidi Klum falls somewhere in the middle with slight smudges on the bottom, but more definition up top. Whose look do you like best . . . or do you think it all got out of hand?

The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Ashley Olsen

BellaSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:43:02 -0700

The Costume Institute Gala is the perfect opportunity to stray away from the norm. Ashley Olsen is well-known for her piercing blue eyes, and tonight she went all out with a generous amount of black liner, further emphasized by some dark penciled-in brows. Note how her rosy coral blush creates a frame for those dramatic peepers.

So as not to compete with the substantial makeup, Ashley wears a lofty white frock, and her blond locks are simply styled in a sleek fashion. It's a sultry Greek goddess all the way. Do you worship this look?

Whose Hair Looked Best at the CFDA Awards?

BellaSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:00:13 -0700

In a somewhat odd reversal of expectations, celebrities looked subdued at the MTV Movie Awards, but they were more daring at the CFDA Awards. These six women strayed from the typical long-and-flowing hairstyles - and since I love to see risks, you'll find no complaints here. Who do you think pulled it off the best?

Coming Soon: Miss Davenporte for LORAC Palette

BellaSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 10:38:37 -0700

What's Ashley Olsen doing at a cosmetics party? Supporting her friends, of course. Her pals (and Hollywood stylists) Estee Stanley and Cristina Ehrlich are the duo behind indie clothing label Miss Davenporte, a buzzed-about line that's selling out at stores like Ron Herman.

While the clothing line is pretty pricey (blouses are around $450), soon there will be a more affordable way to get a little Miss Davenporte in your life. The brand is pairing with LORAC to create a limited-edition cosmetics palette called Showstopper. It's premiering at Sephora next month, and although I haven't yet heard details about the colors, I imagine it'll be much like the clothing collection: a hip mix of vintage and modern influences. I'll keep you posted on details as I get them, of course, but I'm dying to know if Ashley is wearing the colors in this photo! (And if you're more of a MK fan, check out my tutorial on getting Mary-Kate's makeup look.

Do You Wish September Mags Had Non-Blond Cover Models?

BellaSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:00:48 -0700

Since the September cover of Marie Claire popped up, it's become increasingly obvious that the glossy mags weren't kidding when they released their cover choices for the first Fall month - generally the biggest and most important issue of the year. As Fashionologie points out, Vogue, Allure, Elle, W, Glamour, and Marie Claire will all have light-haired cover stars. InStyle, which will feature Jennifer Lopez, seems to be the only exception. There's nothing wrong with (or unusual about) having a blonde on the cover, but it's going to look mighty light at the newsstand. What do you think? Are the mags just going with big celebs who happen to be blond, or might editors feel a fair-haired model is the safest way to sell in a tough publishing market? Or could it be that society is having a blonde moment?

10 Celebrities With Lookalike Sisters

BellaSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:00:04 -0700

Besides the obvious, such as twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, there are other celebrities that have lookalike sisters. Take Jennifer Garner, for instance, whose older sister Melissa is a dead ringer for the dark-haired beauty. Are you the spitting image of your female sibling(s), or anybody else, for that matter? Take a peek at these celebrity sister lookalikes, and tell us all about it at the end.

Bella Book: The Hair Color Mix Book

BellaSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 15:43:32 -0700

How many times have you tried to color your hair at home, only to be "rewarded" with spotty highlights and a hue that's not quite right? (Or is that just me?) If you need a little help with your hair color, you might like The Hair Color Mix Book ($24.95), out next week.

Author Lorri Goddard-Clark is a salon veteran who has worked with celebrities including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Brad Pitt, Kate Winslet, Heidi Klum, Madonna, Kirsten Dunst, and Drew Barrymore (who wrote the book's foreword). While it'll cost $150 and up to have her highlight your hair at Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, the book shares her techniques and tricks for a lot less money.

For more of my review, read more

This book isn't for women who want a quick, simple solution for hair coloring. Instead, it's for anyone who's willing to mix different colors and try various application techniques to get the perfect color. (Goddard-Clark admits that buying all of the necessary supplies can be a little costly, but over time, it will be less expensive to color your hair at home.)

The book is separated into three sections: techniques, recipes, and post-color care. You'll definitely need to read the first section thoroughly to understand Goddard-Clark's techniques; they're not difficult to follow, but it's important to understand how to mix different dyes to get the right look. One quibble: The instructions are clear, but I wish the book used photos instead of illustrations to demonstrate the proper application techniques. But in general, if you're committed to learning how to do more than apply all-over color to your hair, consider this your textbook.

BellaSugar Interview: Byron Williams, Celebrity Hairstylist and Makeup Artist

BellaSugar — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 08:00:00 -0700

If you haven't heard of makeup and hairstylist Byron Williams yet, don't worry, you will! Byron, who is originally from Korea, came to the Los Angeles to study fashion and design, but realized his passion lay more in hair and makeup. After attending the Vidal Sassoon Academy and working at Prive Salon (practically a Beverly Hills landmark), he decided to open his own salon on Robertson Boulevard called Byron Studio.

Four years later, he has mentions in every top-tier magazine and blog,not to mention a red-hot celebrity following that includes Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Joy Bryant, Kirsten Dunst, Amanda Peet and Rachel Zoe. He also has a line of all-natural hair care products called BYRON Haircare and recently, he opened a second salon called Byron Williams, which is located in Beverly Hills.

Byron continues to climb the ranks as one of the world's most sought-after beauty technicians. You can now buy his collection of hair products which include shampoos, conditioners and styling products online and in specialty boutiques. I am just totally enamored of this man-he's living the American dream! To read our exclusive BellaSugar interview, and to see images of Byron and his famous clients, read more

BELLASUGAR: When you look at a face you are about to make up, where do you draw your inspiration for a look?

BELLA: How do you determine the color palette that you are going to use?

BW: Yes, I am really inspired by Brigitte Bardot.

BELLA: What are your favorite brands to work with?
BW: For hair, my favorite brand is-of course-my line of shampoos, conditioners and styling products. As for makeup, I really like Vincent Longo.

BELLA: What are your favorite products to work with on the job?
BW: Byron Spirulina Hairspray ($24) and Byron Illuminating Mist ($18). As for makeup, definitely mascara and color for the cheeks.

BELLA: What are the best and worst parts of your job?
