Chic Twists and Braided Buns at Rachel Roy

Jaime Richards — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 15:23:00 PDT

Spring 2012 Fashion Week has produced some of the most wearable makeup and hairstyles around, and now you can place Rachel Roy's Spring 2012 show beauty look in your must-try file. Inspired by the modern, Asian influences seen in Rachel's collection, hair guru Ted Gibson developed a style that was a mix between both masculine (the sleekness at the front) and feminine (the twisted, braided bun).

He began by prepping the models' hair with his brand's Fix It Gel. Once the hair was blow-dried, he created a side part, twisted the sides back, and then braided the hair into a bun at the nape; Tame It lotion provided shine, while Beautiful Hold hair spray kept it all in place. A big silver barrette attached at the back proved to be a chic finishing touch.

For the makeup, Bobbi Brown went for a more monochromatic look, with Rose Gold lip gloss ("It looks good on everyone," Brown says) on the lips and Rose Gold eye shadow (available for Spring) on the lids. Various shades in the Bronze Shimmer Brick were applied to the eyes to adapt the color based around the models' skin tones. And if you're not one for dramatic daytime makeup looks, do what Brown did for the show: in lieu of liner, use an intensive black mascara (her version is out in Spring) to bring out the eyes and provide contrast to the pink tones.

Viva Las Vegas: Lela Rose Looks to Sin City For Inspiration

Jaime Richards — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 16:06:04 PDT

When you think of old-school Las Vegas, you likely think of major glitz and glamour, but that's not exactly the concept Lela Rose wanted to capture for her Spring 2012 collection. In lieu of a Mad Men-esque style, the feel was more post-Rat Pack-era Vegas, explained celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann (for Beauty.com). Similarly, the hair and makeup reflected a cool and dusty, desert-like feel. See how it all came together when you read more.

How to Update Your Ombré Highlights For Fall

Jaime Richards — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 06:05:00 PDT

Celebrity stylist Ted Gibson, who has worked with stars like Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie, predicts that ombré highlights aren't going anywhere. The key for making them Fall fresh, however, is to wear them in a less drastic way.

"You can still have ombré, but it doesn't have to be where you have dark roots and blond ends," Gibson explains. So still keep the roots darker, but cut down on the contrast toward the bottom. Another benefit of the ombré style? "There is something really youthful about that growing-out hair color look," he adds. Learn how to get ombré hair at home with our easy-to-follow (honest!) video.

Check Out Brooklyn Decker's New Bob

Even models get tired of long hair, and Brooklyn Decker has tweeted a photo of herself with a much shorter style. Apparently, she recruited stylist Ted Gibson and colorist Jason Backe to give her the look. Gibson cut her hair into a long bob with soft layers and bangs, and then Backe added lowlights and highlights to make her hair look a little darker and less beach blonde. My hair is similar and I love the style, but do you like how much length Brooklyn's gotten rid of?

2009 Fall New York Fashion Week: Vena Cava

BellaSugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 10:00:41 PST

Every season, the cool downtown girls head to Vena Cava to see what they'll want to wear to their art-gallery jobs. This time around, the collection featured motorcycle jackets, high-waisted jeans, and dyed leggings.

Working off of the clothing's dark color palette, makeup artist Vincent Longo - working with Beauty.com - created a simple but striking makeup look: a shock of orange at the lashline. "It's a contrast to the collection," he said, "to give life to the dark tones." While the skin was matte, lips had a creamy finish thanks to his Velvet Riche lipstick in Hush Delight.

And the hair? This season's Vena Cava girl, said the lead stylist Ted Gibson for Beauty.com, is hip but not too crazy. "She's the girl who danced all night and slicked some gel in her hair the next morning," he said of his inspiration. To get the rockabilly-chic look, he pushed hair back from the sides for a fun, devil-may-care style. Check it out in these pictures:
