How-To: Julia Roberts's Makeup in a Flash

BellaSugar — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:01:04 -0700

Looking stunning at last night's premiere of Duplicity in NYC, Julia Roberts was sporting a subtle pink streak in the back of her hair (a request from her daughter), along with flawless makeup. By keeping her lip and cheek shades in the same color family, she creates a very pretty, natural look. Some sable and sandy brown shadow, dark liner, and lots of mascara add emphasis to her light brown eyes.

Want to make Julia's look your own with minimal effort? Consider using dark, wetted eye shadow for eyeliner, a lipstick/blush combo, and a stick foundation for coverage and concealing. Check out my widget below for product suggestions that use color palettes and multitasking items for a beautiful look in a flash.

Julia Roberts must be having a good weekend. On Friday, she was honored at the American Cinematheque Awards. Is it too much of an understatement to say that she is just as beautiful now as she was as an ingenue? Speaking of former ingenues, Natalie Portman was there to help celebrate Julia's accomplishments. She opted to pull her hair back in a youthful up-do.

When you go to formal events, which way do you go? Do you go for tumbling, sexy hair like Julia or do you let your face take center stage like Natalie?

Get Inked For Mother's Day

BellaSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 14:00:11 -0700

There are lots of celebrities that sport ink to honor their children. Think Julia Roberts's lower-back tattoos and Angelina Jolie's upper-arm designs, which show the birthplace coordinates of each of her six youngsters. But, there are also lots of regular people who sport ink to honor their mothers. Quite frankly, nothing shows mom how much you love her like a little permanent ink, from elaborate floral detailing to the more hardcore edgy designs. So, in honor of Mother's Day, I've gathered together some tats that show just how much the following people heart their moms.

2009 Kids' Choice Awards: Emma Roberts

BellaSugar — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:16:43 -0700

At 18, Emma Roberts is shedding her girlish image, particularly evidenced by this recent photo shoot for GQ. And while we all know her for being Julia Roberts's niece, Emma is making a name for herself in the acting industry.

Tonight, she's all spiffed up, opting for a peaches-and-cream makeup look. Some shimmering copper eye shadow on the inner corners of her eyes, along with some warm pink blush on the apples of her cheeks, give the young star a fresh glow. She wears her chestnut brown hair in soft waves with ringlets on the end. Are you peachy keen on this one?

Vote on all of my Kids' Choice Awards polls here!

How-To: "Green" Your Manicure

BellaSugar — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 07:00:51 -0800

Toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate - all chemicals considered dangerous for our bodies and the environment, and yet they are still found in many nail products. Sophie Uliano is the author of Gorgeously Green: 8 Simple Steps to an Earth-Friendly Life ($15.25), where she discusses everything from choosing an earth-friendly lipstick to preparing eco-conscious treats.
Last year, Uliano appeared on Oprah with her friend Julia Roberts to celebrate Earth Day. And now, she has some tips for greening your manicure, along with specific product suggestions she shared with me. Uliano recommends mixing up a "gorgeously green" bag to take with you to your next manicure. Find out her suggestions when you read more.

Non-toxic polish: Try No-Miss Nail Polish ($7), which can be found at Whole Foods. Uliano also recommends Spa Ritual Nail Lacquer ($12).
Paraben-free lotion: Uliano likes SpaRitual products. Try Instinctual Moisturizing Lotion ($28) or Cuti-Quench Cuticle and Skin Conditioning Creme ($15).
Soy-based polish remover: Uliano calls Priti's Soy Nail Polish Remover ($22.50) "awesome."
Tea tree oil: For a foot and hand soak try Desert Essence Organic Tea Tree Oil ($9).
