Trend Alert: Purple Peepers

BellaSugar — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:00:47 -0700

First it's purple hair and now I'm talking purple eyes. Purple is one of those versatile shades that can be bright, playful, sultry, and subtle, depending on the finish and depth of color. Purple also makes green eyes pop, brown eyes brighter, and gives blue eyes a cool iciness. Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson, and Emmy Rossum opted for and soft lilac tone for a lightening effect; Audrina Patridge went for sexy, heavily-lined eyes with plum accents; and January Jones and Selita Ebanks spiced their looks up with multitoned colors. Check out the fun looks below for some inspiration in the various ways that this violet hue can be worn.

Love It or Hate It? Katie Holmes Goes Gamine

BellaSugar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:59:51 -0700

Katie Holmes is such a hair chameleon! Sure, we've seen a short crop on her before, but it was sleek and classic. Now her shorter hair is more tousled and less formal. No doubt it's easy for her to take care of cute little Suri with this no-fuss hairstyle, and I'll be interested to see how she works with it for her next red-carpet affair. What do you think of this look on Katie?

Couples have been getting married for centuries - and now same-sex couples are getting that right, too. But weddings haven't always been the lavish, bride-in-white events we're used to seeing. Check out this slideshow to see how bridal style has changed over the last century. (Wait until you see what they wore in the 19th century!)

Love It or Hate It? Katie Holmes' Costume Institute Gala Look

BellaSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 18:52:30 -0700

Katie Holmes went a little more dramatic than we're used to seeing her. Her Anna Wintour-esque bob is old news now, so it's really the makeup we have to discuss. First, her skin is sun-kissed to perfection. Second, her lips are a glossy delight in a shade that complements the dress. But I want to talk about what's going on around the eyes. She went very sultry with a dark, smoky liner that expands with eye shadow that has an almost ombre effect on both the upper and lower lid onto her cheekbone. What do you think of Mrs. Cruise's look?

Love It or Hate It? Katie Holmes Goes Even Shorter

BellaSugar — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 06:03:55 -0700

How short can she go? Hair risk-taker Katie Holmes was seen leaving Pizzeria Mozza with an even shorter cut than she's been sporting as of late. First it was the daring bob, then the blunt-cut bangs, and now it's a borderline pixie cut. While some people would have a hard time pulling off so many different looks, I am starting to think this woman can do no wrong in the hair department. What do you think?

How-To: Katie Holmes's Letterman Makeup

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:00:43 -0800

The results of your votes are in! More of you wanted to see how to re-create Katie Holmes's makeup than that of Eva Mendes, so I've got some tips for getting her look.

Skin: Use foundation to even out any redness or blotchiness, then spot conceal underneath eyes and any blemishes. Then, use a shimmery highlighter on the apples of cheeks, followed by a sweep of light rose blush. I would try Nars The Multiple ($36) in Maldives to highlight, and L'Oreal Sheer Powder Blush ($4.49) in Sugar 'n Spice.

For the rest of the tutorial, read more.

Eyes: Katie's eyes are dramatic thanks to thin black eyeliner. Line both top and bottom rims with a black pencil liner, going into the lashline itself. Be sure to use a freshly sharpened pencil so that you get a thin and even line. Use a small eye shadow brush or the pencil's spongy end to soften the line. Next, apply a pinky-champagne shadow from the crease toward the browline, a chocolate-brown shadow on the lid and a mauve shadow in the crease. (This Cargo eye palette ($28) has all of these colors.) Use brushes to softly blend the lighter shades into the darker ones. Follow with a coat or two of black mascara on curled lashes, and if your brows are unruly, use a brow pencil and gel to shape and set them.

Lips: Katie's lips are lined, but really, it's your call as to whether you want to line them. If you do, use a color that's close to your natural lip color. Fill in lips with a creamy rosy-nude color such as Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Lip Tint ($23) in ThelmaCora. Follow with a similarly toned, glitter-free gloss like MAC Lipglass ($14) in Florabundance.

Both Eva Mendes and Katie Holmes looked positively lovely yesterday. Katie was making the rounds to talk about Mad Money, while Eva was in Paris to promote her latest project, Live!. Both women look lovely in different ways: Katie's the sophisticate, while Eva has a pretty/sexy thing going on.

So, for a fun change of pace, let's try something new: Tell me whose look you love, and at the end of the day, I'll post a makeup tutorial for whichever look wins more votes. Call it democracy in action to honor the launch of CitizenSugar!
