Which Pink Lipstick Do You Like Best on Amanda Seyfried?

BellaSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:00:37 -0700

Last night at the Mama Mia premiere in London, the typically makeup-free Amanda Seyfried arrived wearing bright pink lipstick. Because of her creamy, pale skin and slate blue eyes, I've noticed that makeup artists often put her in various pink lipsticks. I personally like the mauve in the middle the best, but the balmy-rose is also beautiful. What shade of pink lipstick do you like the most on Amanda?

Trend Alert: Bright Pink Lips

BellaSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:00:38 -0800

The last time we saw bright pink lips like this was on Elisha Cuthbert and before that it was at the 2007 Spring Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Show. Now, two gorgeous A-list ladies are looking fierce in fuchsia!

Natalie Portman matched her dress and her lips at the Mr. Magorium Wonder Emporium premiere, while Beyoncé sported a shiny pink pout at an autograph signing in Seoul, Korea. I love that stars are starting to experiment with color. How do you feel about this bright pink lip trend? Here are a couple of product suggestions for those of you who are willing to play with pink.

Dior Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor in devilish pink ($26) is a long-wearing lipstick that provides full coverage, moisture, and unrivaled shine thanks to its new Color Reveal Complex. If you are looking for a rich pink to pamper your pout, this is a pretty great product!

Sephora Lip Attitude - Chic in Fuchsia Vamp 10 ($12) is a moist and creamy lip color without any shimmer (kind of like Beyoncé's) but with tons of shine - think liquid lip color in a tube. The color stays semiglossy and lasts long!

I always love a little Natalie Portman, and what's better than seeing her match her lips to this hot pink number at the premiere of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium? Even Dustin Hoffman can't help but give her some sugar!

Here are two other photos of her: with nude lips in Parade Magazine and with sheer red lips at the Darjeeling Limited premiere. Which lipstick do you find the most flattering on Natalie?

Love It or Hate It? Elisha Cuthbert's Matchy Pink Lips

BellaSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 07:07:39 -0700

Bright pink lips are huge right now, but I think Elisha Cuthbert went a bit overboard at a recent poolside BBQ at LA's Roosevelt Hotel. The pink lips and pink outfit are just a bit too matchy for me. What do you think?

Beauty Spring Peek: Matte Fuchsia Lips

BellaSugar — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:35:45 -0800

The Spring 2007 Diane Von Furstenberg Show was called "All About Eve," as in the first woman. It was meant to look simple, sophisticated and seductive. You can see this reflection not only in her clothes but in her makeup choices as well. She mixed a polished, yet clean and natural, fresh face with a pop of bright fuchsia, matte color on the lips.

Clearly DVF selected the mouth as the seductive focus and kept the rest of the face simple and sophisticated. Nice work. Be sure to check out more of my Spring Peeks.

Get Hot (Pink Lips) Like Eva Mendes

BellaSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:00:27 -0800

We here at Sugar HQ have decided that Eva Mendes never looks anything but absolutely beautiful. At a recent Calvin Klein event in Milan, Eva proved that the rules are meant to be broken. While her skin and hair coloring are more in the warm-toned family, the actress still managed to pull off a traditionally cooler-toned hot pink lip that had just the slightest glimpse of a coral undertone. Call it a bright poppy shade of sorts. What I like most about this look is that it's decidedly not a just-stepped-out-of-the-mall circa 1984 kind of effect. It's fresh, alluring, and very flirtatious.

Top Five Must-Haves for May

BellaSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 07:30:26 -0700

Every month on BellaSugar, I'll give you my picks for the top five beauty products, colors, and looks you simply must have right now. This month, as we make the transition from springtime to summer, it's all about looking fresh, girly, and a little bit shimmery. Here are five ways to be beautiful in May.

Glitter Eye Pencils: Metallic eyes were all over the Spring runways - particularly thick, sparkly liners.
Lancome Proenza Pink Lipstick: This limited-edition shade is such a must-have that it's already sold out! You can pay a pretty penny on eBay, or try a matte fuchsia shade.
Liquid Luminizers: Perfect for springtime skin, these shimmery highlighters will give you a healthy, bright glow.
Hot-Pink Nail Polish: Bid adieu to the goth-nail look and embrace brights! I particularly like Essie's Bachelorette Bash.
Loose Waves and Center Parts: With all that shimmery, pink stuff, take a page from Jessica Alba and keep your locks on the simple side with this trendy style.

Whitney Port Gets Some PlantLove

BellaSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 06:00:30 -0700

Want a Port pout? Cargo is betting you do. The City's starring gossip girl is getting her own signature hot pink lipstick, called Eve Pinky, in the brand's PlantLove line of products. But this stick's not just about Whitney, lovely as she is; the shade also has a charitable side. For every tube of Eve Pinky sold, $2 goes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It's a cute shade, and an even better cause - one I wouldn't mind parting with a few hard-earned dollars for. So be on the lookout for it - Eve Pinky is available at Sephora starting this week.

Is Your Lipstick Changing Color? Read This.

BellaSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:01:49 -0700

Fall is the time to try out bold, dark, and deep lip tones, but sometimes the pH levels in your skin and simple oxidation can cause that fantastic bold berry hue to transform into a strange shade of orange by noon. But by using a contrasting shade to correct these unwanted changes, you can keep your lip color from turning into a pumpkin - unless of course, you are going for a lovely russet hue, which is a beautiful choice, too. Check out my color-correcting tips when you read more.

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.
