Trend Alert: More Nude Lips at the VMAs

BellaSugar — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:00:39 -0700

Looks like the nude lip trend is hotter than ever this year. Just a few weeks ago we saw lots of pale pouts at the Teen Choice Awards, and here they are again at this year's VMAs. Celebrity attendees such as Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Garner, Rosario Dawson, Nicole Scherzinger and Hayden Panetierre all wore a neutral, flesh colored lip. Here are a couple of great nude lip colors that make for great additions to your collection.

Scott Barnes Lipslick in Suggestive ($22) is a creamy and sexy-looking lip lacquer that falls somewhere marvelously in between a lip gloss and a lipstick.

This is the famous product known for creating the seductive nude looks on Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson and Mary J. Blige (just to name a few). It is available in five fabulous colors to suit different skin tones.

Bare Escentuals Quick Stick ($14) is both a lipstick and a lip liner. The advantage of this packaging gives you the opportunity to create a precise, creamy matte pout in no time.

lt also includes a super handy built-in sharpener on the opposite end. It's available in ten colors, but for a nude lip, try apricot, blush, fig, peony or spice.

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

Has Heidi Klum Made the Perfect Lipstick?

BellaSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:00:01 -0700

Did you know that Victoria's Secret Beauty is one of the best-selling brands in the country? Yep. Who knew? A revamp of the line's VS Makeup means it's worth a new look, and it probably doesn't hurt that Christian Siriano and Heidi Klum are collaborating on makeup collections for the brand. Heidi's latest endeavor is a collection of makeup inspired by her travels to the spiritual city of Varanasi, India. To that end, the jewel-toned packaging is gorgeously draped in golds, pinks, and purples.

I've been playing around with some of the products, and one thing stands out above everything else: Heidi Klum Perfect Lipstick ($16) in Exotic Spice. It's pretty much the perfect versatile shade of nude pink, and the moist and creamy formula has just a hint of shine. It works for a natural, low-key look as well as a glamorous nighttime one, and it just feels nice on the lips. I'm not absolutely crazy about the chocolate scent, but your mileage may vary. Either way, this has become my go-to shade - even if I don't look like Heidi with it on.

How-To: Ginger and Mary Ann's Gilligan's Island Makeup

BellaSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:00:37 -0700

It's a rivalry as old as ridiculous stereotypes about women: Ginger vs. Mary Ann. We all know that on Gilligan's Island, at least, the goody-goody in short shorts won out, but as far as makeup goes, both ladies' looks were absolutely divine - and surprisingly similar, when you get right down to it. To find out how to go from sultry to sweet with the substitution of just a couple products, read more

Beauty Mark It! The Perfect Nude Lip

BellaSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:00:15 -0700

If you've been keeping an eye on Fashion Week, you may have noticed an undeniable trend: nude lips are in. The perfect nude lip is also a timeless, classic beauty look for all seasons, but not necessarily an easy one to perfect. That is why I present you with this week's Beauty Mark It challenge: find the best nude lip colors!

While matte lips are the season's big trend, I'm not opposed to something with a little more shine to it, either. I'm in love with MAC 3N, a perfect pinky-neutral, but alas, the limited-edition shade is sold out. So let me know what your tried-and-true favorites are, or something new that you love or are dying to try.

Share your choices by bookmarking items from around the web and tagging them with the phrase nude lip. I'll feature your favorites here next Tuesday.

BellaSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:00:29 -0700

At the premiere of Chris Rock's documentary Good Hair (which I am waiting with bated breath to watch) last night, there was a lot of glam - and a whole lot of fake hair, as at any red carpet event. Gabrielle Union and Nia Long looked unbelievably gorgeous, as usual, but my favorite look of the night had to be Raven Symone's: it was cute, very wearable, and in a palette that's perfect for the new season.
