Which Lipstick Do You Like Best on Rachel McAdams?

BellaSugar — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 17:00:14 -0700

Confession time! I've got a girl crush on Rachel McAdams. It's not just because she frequently changes her lip color and her hair color and always manages to look amazing, but she's also got the kind of deep soul that you can see in her eyes. She's sweet but not sugary-sweet, and as we saw in Wedding Crashers, she's pretty damn funny too.

Rachel has been out of the public eye for a while, so I am happy to see her out and about again-and boy, does she look great. Yesterday she was at the Toronto Film Festival promoting her new movie Married Life with flawless skin and red lipstick, a change from her raspberry lips and the sheer color she sported at the SAG Awards. Which lip color do you prefer on Rachel?

Rachel McAdams would look beautiful in just about any shade of lipstick, but she's been experimenting with a lot of different colors lately, from coral to sheer rose to bright cherry red. Each hue lends a different feel to her look; which one do you think is the most fetch on the lovely Ms. McAdams?

Which Wavy Look Do You Prefer on Rachel McAdams?

Is there ever a time when Rachel McAdams doesn't look amazing? Methinks not. At last night's premiere of The Time Traveler's Wife, the actress turned up the volume on her chin-length bob. The well-coiffed, sweeping curls are a different look than the tousled, casual style she wore at Comic-Con a few weeks prior. What do you think of these two different styles? When it comes to Rachel's wavy locks, does the effortlessly tousled win out over the the smooth and sophisticated?

How-To: Rachel McAdams's Twisty Waves

I want to know Rachel McAdams's secrets for coolness. Not only does she convey a modern vintage style in her look, but she seems to have an approachable, down-to-earth personality. Plus, I love that she isn't afraid to try new things, like this old-school teased coiffure, and some seriously punky pink hair.

This morning while filming scenes for her upcoming movie, Morning Glory, the actress wore her hair in loose waves with casual twists on the sides, showing off those multidimensional gold-toned locks. It's a perfect substitute for your typical braid-on-the-side style.

How Do You Prefer Rachel McAdams' Hair?

In my opinion, Rachel McAdams has some of the best skin in Hollywood. Because of her milky white, flawless complexion, she can really play around with hair and makeup colors. I've always loved her as a blonde, but as a brunette, her eyes have extreme depth.

Most recently, she's been taking a walk on the wild side with her funky, chunky pink highlights which I happen to like too; I guess I am altogether undecided! Which hair color do you think is the most flattering on her?

All About Lauren Conrad's Extensions With Stylist Kristin Ess

BellaSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:00:00 -0700

Kristin Ess of Warren-Tricomi Salon in LA has styled everyone from Rachel McAdams to the runway models at Marc Jacobs, but she's also known for her work on The Hills, and for Lauren Conrad's styles in particular. So when I found out that Lauren's perfectly natural-looking hair was actually Kristin's perfect extensions, I really wanted to speak with her to get the scoop about them. To find out how Ess works her magic, read more.

You created LC's extensions and her look. How did you start out using them on her?

The thing about extensions is that you have to have the exact right kind for your hair. When I started working with Lauren, she had a thicker kind of extension, and because she went to so many events, we were styling her hair a lot. Because of the texture of her hair, though, we kept having to hide the extension if she wanted to put it into a ponytail. We always had to leave a little bit of a poof and couldn’t do a tight ponytail, either, because the extension would pop out sometimes, or you would just see a lump. We were working around the extensions, basically, instead of the hair working around us. I told her, "Listen, I really want to put my thinner extensions in your hair." She had never heard of them, but she said "OK, I trust you. Let’s do it." So, we took the thick extensions out, we put the thinner ones in, and she's never taken them out since.

I had no idea they were extensions until recently.

You know what's so funny? I do a lot of interviews about Lauren’s hair, and sometimes people are like, "What do you mean she has extensions? Oh, I thought that was her hair." Meanwhile, people don’t realize that her hair is actually about to her collarbone.

How do you keep the extensions seamless and blend in the ends when her actual length is that drastically different? That’s hard to do!

Particularly with the extensions - first and foremost is color matching. I pride myself on that, because I can color match your hair exactly. You can always see extensions when they aren't perfectly color matched. So that's one, and the other is the placement. There's a certain way that you have to place the hair, and a pattern that you put them in. To have extensions look natural, you have to leave a little bit more room in certain places and put a few closer together. The reason that the ones I use are so great is that they're in two and half inch panels, and I can basically place them wherever I want.

I've got lots more from Ess regarding extensions, from the different varieties to how to care for them. Stay tuned for the additional details of our interview to come.

Models wore tufts of peach curls at John Galliano, neon pink wigs at Betsey Johnson, and had their strands tinted varying shades of crimson at Balenciaga.
