Which Bright Eye Color Looks Better on Beyonce?

BellaSugar — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 17:44:28 -0700

Beyonce isn't afraid of keeping bold colors in her makeup case, as proven when she showed up wearing lime green eyeliner at last night's BET awards. I think she looks great both ways, but I slightly prefer the light blue shadow she sported last month. Which do you like more?

BellaSugar — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:10:28 -0700

It's not easy to name the absolute best look on any red carpet, and this year's BET Awards were no exception. Rather than name one lady the loveliest of them all, I've rounded up 14 and picked a standout beauty choice for each one. Just think of it as our own little awards ceremony, so get started to see who's placed in each category.

Two Uhuras Boldly Go to the BET Awards

BellaSugar — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:52:08 -0700

Aww. Here we have Zoe Saldana and previous Bella Donna pick Nichelle Nichols at the BET Awards. They're the two actresses who've played Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek. If you look closely, you'll see that aside from their choices of lip color, the women have similar makeup styles. But where Zoe chooses a bright lip color, Nichelle sports a barely-there shade - a good choice for older women, since darker colors can "bleed" into lip lines. What makes me happiest about this photo is the way it shows that beauty isn't restricted to the young. Though they have 45 years between them-Zoe's 31, while Nichelle is 76-both women are, to put it mildly, stunning. So the next time you start to worry about a wrinkle here or a gray hair there, take a look at this photo as a reminder that a genuine smile, expression lines and white hair can be breathtaking, too. Love them!

Love It or Hate It? Lil Mama's BET Awards Look

BellaSugar — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:29:08 -0700

As at the MTV Movie Awards, Lil Mama sported at multi-hued hairstyle, and she did a similar thing for the BET Awards. This time, she retained her blonde and black curls, but added in some sleek bangs and a few choppy pieces to frame her face. (Makeup-wise, she keeps things low-key - a smart idea when your hairstyle is bound to grab attention.) The teenage rapper always takes risks on the red carpet, and this time is no exception. Do you dig her adventurous style here, or is it too risky for you?

Love It or Hate It? Jennifer Hudson's Blunt Bob

BellaSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:14:12 -0700

Believe it or not, Jennifer Hudson didn't pull out her her signature pose at the BET Awards. Instead, she smiled pretty while showing off this angled bob. I like the cut, but it's probably going to look even better when it grows out an inch or two. Do you like this blunt bob on her, or do you prefer a softer look?

Love It or Hate It? Ashanti's BET Beauty Look

BellaSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:19:25 -0700

Aw, Ashanti! I've long lamented the lack of risk-taking on the red carpet, and Ashanti is trying something new. Red lips aren't groundbreaking, but pairing them with blue eye shadow? That's something we don't see much of. And her cool coif has a retro edge without feeling dated. I love this glam look on her. Do you?

You Can Pull Off Raisin Lipstick Like Charlize Theron

BellaSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:00:59 -0800

At last night's screening of her new movie The Road, Charlize Theron exchanged her usual golden-girl makeup for a semimatte raisin lip that, with her waved hair, made her look like a silent film star. A shade like this can be hard to pull off, but not if you follow a few simple tips. To find out how anyone can wear a dark purple lip without looking washed out or harsh, just keep reading
