BellaSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:00:11 -0700

The hair and makeup in Gossip Girl's new season has been as hot and wicked as some of the characters. The show's beauty teams aren't afraid to experiment, and they've created some truly divine looks that we should all be adding to our repertoire. So we can all seduce the Chuck Basses in our lives, I've put together my favorite hair and makeup from this season so far, and broken down the shades and techniques used to get them.

Which Eye Makeup Look Do You Prefer on Taylor Momsen?

BellaSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:00:48 -0700

Taylor Momsen has been getting increasingly mall punk with her smoky eye makeup lately, as you can see from her pic at the premiere of The Stepfather last night. While I'm impressed that she manages to wear it without getting it all over the place and looking like a raccoon (or Robert Smith, for that matter), I don't know that I like it better than her fresh-faced look from early this year. What do you think? Does every teenager deserve a little grown-up drama once in a while, or is something more subtle better on her features?

Which Hairstyle Change Do You Prefer?

Some celebrities stick to their tried-and-true hairstyles, and then there are the chameleons. It could be an extension here or an application of color there, or perhaps it's the addition of a wig to keep things interesting. Whatever the case may be, it's your turn to choose. Which hairstyle metamorphoses have you more mesmerized?

Trend Alert: Is the Mullet Having a Moment?

BellaSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:00:18 -0700

I have a strange affinity for the mullet. It may be all "business in the front, party in the back," but when styled just right, this oft-mocked hairstyle can actually have a fresh, chic appearance. And during some recent red carpet events, this shaggy cut was out in full force: Sharon Stone wore her signature short locks in a side-swept mullet-like fashion at the amfAR benefit; Taraji P. Henson, who gained much recognition for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button sported a shorter, wispier style than from her versatile bob; and Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl fame, rocked her bold blond mane at a CW network event in NYC. Would you be OK with the mullet making a return, or would you like to see it stay in the past?

Which Look Do You Prefer on Taylor Momsen?

BellaSugar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:10:43 -0700

Taylor Momsen had quite the Manhattan adventure last night. She attended two events, sporting different looks with just a change of lipstick and fluff of the hair. At the star-studded Topshop opening, the Gossip Girl actress rocked some seriously glossy hot pink lips, steel gray smoky eyes, and wavy locks. And for her appearance at Nylon's 10th anniversary party, she chose to switch it up with softer hair and a deep red, semimatte lip. Are you sensing a Courtney Love or Olsen twins vibe here, or is it just me?

15 Different Ways to Wear Bangs

BellaSugar — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 10:01:02 -0800

Can we really consider blunt bangs a trend anymore? Actually, I think they're mainstream, considering that many stars are still spotted wearing straight-across fringe after all these years. Believe it or not, bangs - whether blunt, asymmetric, or wispy - can look great on just about anyone, as long as they're done right. Take a peek at my slideshow to see what I mean. Source

I can't believe that tonight was the last episode of Gossip Girl until after the writers' strike is over. Filled with pregnancy scares, fist fights, and a dethroning, they sure do know how to keep the anticipation alive. Although last night's episode was filled with lots of tears, somehow the young women of Gossip Girl still managed to look gorgeous and put together. Take my beauty quiz to test your memory of episode 13.

Two Looks, One Night. Which Kate Hudson Style Is Your Favorite?

BellaSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:59:32 -0700

I'm all about MacGyvering a look - starting the night off with one style, then swapping it out for another by night's end. Remember how Taylor Momsen pulled a switcheroo style about a month ago, just by changing her lipstick and fluffing up her hair? Take, for instance, Kate Hudson. At last night's Time's 100 Most Influential People soirée, the all-smiles actress wore a crisp white tuxedo-style suit. When she walked the red carpet, she donned a carefree updo, but as the night went on, she let her hair hang down. Which look do you prefer on Kate? Then tell me, are you a master of change yourself?
