Naomi Campbell's eyebrows, like everything else about her face, are amazing. They're also not at all the conventional "right" shape, which makes her a textbook case for why heart-shaped faces need their own brow advice — those generic tips don't do your lovely face shape justice.

How to Give Yourself a Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Back when I was but cub reporter Bella, one of the editors at the magazine where I worked had a singular obsession: lymphatic drainage. The woman talked about it as if it was the holy grail of spa services, and she'd return from her appointments glowing and, she swore, five pounds thinner.

How-To: Katy Perry's Eye-Enhancing Makeup
Katy Perry is known for her daring makeup and clothing, but last night at the This Is It premiere in LA, she chose an understated look.

Never fear, though, I've hunted down a recipe for fake blood that's non-toxic, won't stain skin (though it will stain clothes, so watch out), and is thick enough to apply anywhere. Plus it's super easy to make and there are only three cheap ingredients.

Using just a bit of shimmer is an easy way to draw attention to your eyes, and as Becki's makeup artist Jamie Greenberg explains, it's easy to do.
How-To: Ginger and Mary Ann's Gilligan's Island Makeup
It's a rivalry as old as ridiculous stereotypes about women: Ginger vs. Mary Ann. We all know that on Gilligan's Island, at least, the goody-goody in short shorts won out, but as far as makeup goes, both ladies' looks were absolutely divine — and surprisingly similar, when you get right down to it.
How-To: Megan Fox's Sophisticated Makeup
Need proof that subtlety is more alluring than in-your-face sexiness? Witness Megan Fox, who showed off a ladylike style at Spike TV's Scream Awards this weekend. With her long locks tucked away to create the illusion of a bob (here's how), she looked sophisticated and poised.
How-To: Blake Lively's Oh-So-Pretty Curls
Blake Lively always looks so pretty and friendly on the red carpet, and last night at the Where the Wild Things Are premiere, her look deserved a gold star. The makeup was pretty simple (pink champagne sparkle eyeshadow, glossy bubblegum pink lip), but her hair, in those perfect starlet curls, was the real standout for me.
