Trend Alert: Faking a Shorter Style

BellaSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:00:36 -0700

Faking a shorter haircut by means of skillfully placed hair pins is nothing new. In fact, we saw Rosario Dawson do her own faux-crop late last year, followed by Nicole Kidman's asymmetric version. In recent times, the look has taken on resurgence in popularity, as celebrities have been tricking us out with their own adaptations, giving the appearance of freshly cut locks. Kate Beckinsale's full-in-the-front updo gave the illusion of an angled wedge at the Whiteout premiere; both Jennifer Lopez and Elizabeth Banks opted for wavy, tousled styles; and Kristen Stewart faked us out at the VMAs with her memorable faux bowl cut. It's a great look for the changing season, and for those of us who don't want to sacrifice length. (Learn to do it here.) What do you think of these mock styles?

BellaSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 20:22:14 -0700

She dabbled with some blunt bangs earlier this year and she's been known to wear a sleek updo or two, but it looks like Kate's sticking to her signature look tonight, which includes long, flowing waved locks and soft makeup.

Perhaps this time around, however, she's taken it up a few notches with a bit more dark eyeliner on the waterline of the eyes. So, what do you think of this beautiful Brit's look tonight? Does she wow you with her beauty choices or are you longing for just a bit more?

In the tradition of many a celebrity, actresses Keira Knightley and Jessica Alba have recently premiered blunt-style bangs. And now, it's Kate Beckinsale who has joined the bang brigade, showing off a modified version of her long hairstyle as an attendee of Calvin Klein's 2009 Fall New York Fashion Week show.

The British beauty is known for her signature, flowing locks, and the addition of bangs really does transform her features, no? Tell me what you're thinking: Is the change fresh and edgy, or do you prefer your Beckinsale bang-free?

2009 Grammy Awards: Kate Beckinsale

BellaSugar — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:30:57 -0800

Kate Beckinsale has been known to wear hair extensions in the past, and it looks like tonight was no different. Kate sported her long locks on the red carpet at tonight's Grammy Awards, and they're some of the best extensions I've seen. Brava. Beyond her hair, Kate's makeup looked subtle, but gorgeous. The nude lips were perfect, the barely blushed cheeks were expertly applied, and the darker, smoky eyes complemented her more dramatic Reem Acra dress well. Are you digging Kate's look tonight?

It's always great to see British beauty Kate Beckinsale with a big smile on her face. As a nominee for her lead in the movie Nothing but the Truth, perhaps she's showing her pearly whites in anticipation of a possible win.

The actress keeps her blush and sparkly lip gloss on the soft pink side, and accentuates her light eyes with some heavy black liner. For her hairstyle, she takes the classic route with a sleek, low-slung bun. What do you think of Beckinsale's dark, yet soft, look?

How-To: Get Kate Beckinsale's Alluring Hair

BellaSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 11:00:06 -0700

Last night at the Allure party for Victoria Beckham, actress Kate Beckinsale arrived wearing her hair in a casual, low-slung bun with delicate braids weaved throughout. What a cool twist! Even though Kate wears hair extensions, (oh, c'mon, like you really couldn't tell by now), the best part about this look is that you don't need to have a lot of hair - or even thick hair - to re-create this style.

For step-by-step instructions on how to create this braided bun at home, read more.

STEP 1: Hair can either be freshly washed or day old. If it's freshly washed, add a styling product for malleability and hold.
STEP 2: Pull your hair back into a low ponytail and secure it with an elastic. Gently pull out your bangs, or your shortest layers, and clip them to the side for the time being. Then, take three sections of hair from your ponytail and braid them tightly. Secure the ends with a small-sized elastic the same color as your hair.
STEP 3: Take the remainder of your hair, and section by section, twist, and tuck the pieces under the main ponytail elastic. Secure each section with a bobby pin. Do the same with the braids, but weave them around the bun a little bit so they are more visible. TIP: Be sure to hide the ends underneath the bun so that you don't see the individual elastics sticking out.
STEP 4: Use a large-barreled curling iron to curl your bangs or long layers. Mist your entire head with hairspray and you're ready to go!
