Kat Graham's High-Fashion Makeup Look: Love It or Leave It?

BellaSugar — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 07:30:00 PST

The Vampire Diaries star Kat Graham is a gorgeous fashion plate, so it wasn't surprising to see her dressed up to the nines for the Underworld: Awakening premiere. What was unexpected, though, was her high-drama, slightly futuristic-looking hair and makeup, featuring a palette of varying textures and purple tones. Kat could be wearing green lipstick and snakes in her hair and still look fabulous, but did this style risk pay off?

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 12:03:52 PDT

Given her bombshell persona, Scarlett Johansson is the perfect face for sexy brand Dolce & Gabbana. At its latest Milan runway show, Scarlett was front row, looking like the ultimate Sicilian siren in this gorgeous red lipstick that was custom-blended by makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath. If you love the shade, though, don't lose hope; you can make it, too. Here's the formula: McGrath mixed two shades of Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo lipsticks - Infatuation and Incognito. Easy, gorgeous, and as unique as Ms. Johansson herself.

Next Up From Lauren Conrad: A Beauty Line

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 10:03:56 PDT

Lauren Conrad is continuing her march from reality star to mogul with a beauty product line. "Right now, one of my main objectives is to expand TheBeautyDepartment.com into a product line," Lauren recently wrote on her Forbes.com blog. "I am currently researching all of my options, but should begin the process of executing an actual line very soon." No word on what products Lauren would want to focus on, but we'd love to see her create a "California girl" makeup line with soft, natural colors or even team up with her stylist, Kristen Ess, to create chic clip-in extensions. What kind of beauty products do you think LC should come out with?

Selma Blair's Intentionally Smudgy Eye Makeup: Love It or Leave It?

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:13:34 PDT

Selma Blair has been wearing messy morning-after eyeliner to good effect since her Cruel Intentions days, but at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of her movie Dark Horse, she debuted a new take on the look, with heavily smudged liner under her eyes. It was a nontraditional choice, especially for a prim and proper red-carpet event. Do you think it flattered, though?

Alexa Chung Has a Gorgeous Red Lipstick Trick

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:36:38 PDT

Alexa Chung is the epitome of easy modern style, and the way she throws casual elements together for looks that are simple but also pretty and eye-catching is a lesson we could all stand to learn. Most recently, she wore this fabulous lipstick look in Sydney at the 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty event. We love how bright yet polished it makes her look and the way that she uses it in place of wearing much in the way of other makeup. It's a great idea for days when you don't want to put on a whole bunch of product, because you still look fresh and a little made up.

The trick for making the look work is picking a cream-to-matte texture and a bright shade. A cheery orange red or a true, fire engine red hue are your best bets, and lipstick pencils are perfect for getting the right texture and luminosity. If you opt for a regular lipstick, keep things looking fresh by using lip liner beneath. For color picks like Alexa's, just check out the widget below.

How to Get Kim Kardashian's Wedding Day Makeup Look

Susan Yara — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 13:27:20 PDT

There's no doubt that Kim Kardashian looked like a princess on her wedding day. After all, she did wear three different couture gowns and a sparkling diamond headpiece. But while most of her look (as well as the event) was over the top and glamorous, her makeup was surprisingly a little more subdued and romantic. Find out which Lancôme products her longtime makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic used after the jump.

Steal Lauryn Hill's Gorgeous Concert Makeup

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:03:12 PDT

Lauryn Hill looks more amazing than ever (she gave birth just a little over a week ago!), and at a recent concert in LA, she was an absolute stunner in a palette of plum, turquoise, and gold. It's easy to get the makeup for yourself; there are plenty of similar shades available, it's just not a combination most people would think of putting together. For Lauryn's deepened turquoise shadow, there's {1.} Caroline Chu Pressed Mineral Eye Shadow ($20), and for her above-the-crease gold shade, try {2.} Topshop Eyes in Good As Gold ($14). Lauryn's lipstick looks so good in part because she went for a warmer version of the color. Instead of a cool-toned, purple-plum, look for one with brown in it, like {3.} Boots No7 Mineral Lipstick in Sweet Plum ($10).

Get Rachel Weisz's Soft-Yet-Dramatic Makeup Look

Jaime Richards — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:42:47 PDT

Rachel Weisz never seems to look anything but flawless on the red carpet, and her look last night was no exception. At a screening for her new flick The Whistleblower, Rachel paired a flirty red frock with barely there, warm red lipstick and subtly smoky, bronzed eyes. The red and bronze hues make for a dramatic pairing, but because it's done in a soft-focus style, the results are truly alluring.

Get Rachel's exact look using Dior's Rouge Dior Lipcolor in Ara Red 999 ($32) on the lips and the brand's 5-Colours eye shadow in Incognito ($59) on the eyes. Top off with Peachy Keen blush ($42) for a touch of color on the cheeks that won't compete with the rest of the look.
