How-To: Charlize's Pretty, Polished Makeup Look
Here's a makeup look that would be absolutely stunning for a night out on the town — or even for the office, when applied with less heavy-handed strokes. The bright, flowery-pink lip looks refreshing and fun when paired with subtle eye color and blushing cheeks, and I've got the how-to directly from Dior Global Makeup Advisor Shane Paish, who created this pretty, polished look for Charlize Theron.

Take a Peek at the Trendiest Nail Polish Collections For Fall
As far as Fall nail polish trends are concerned, I foresee lots of hot pinks, mushroom tones, smoky metallics, burnt oranges, deep, intense greens, and the return of purple — but with a little less smoke and a little more attitude.

Jennifer Lopez Nails It
When you think of Jennifer Lopez's beauty, you probably think about her famously glowing skin or fragrance empire.

BellaSugar's Top Five Peach Blush Picks
A peach blush is a wonderful way to warm up any skin tone. You can wear a pale shade if you have fair skin or a deeper, more coral shade if you have olive or ebony skin. It's a great alternative to pink blush because it's neutral and won't clash with a last-minute change to, say, red lipstick or purple eye shadow.
BellaSugar’s Top Picks For Nude Lip Glosses
Nude lip glosses are the end all, be all of makeup because they're so versatile. They can be worn on a bare face, with a dark or metallic smoky eye or with a touch of blush and mascara.
