Reader Review of the Day: CoverGirl Fresh Complexion Concealer

BellaSugar — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 08:00:59 -0700

CoverGirl Fresh Complexion Concealer ($5.29) is a liquid concealer that many of you like. However, not every product, even one that generally gets raves, is for every person, as reader Bplasters's experience shows. She says:

"I really did not like this product whatsoever. It is very sheer, almost to the point of being watery. The color seemed a bit off for me, and had a lot of yellowish undertones. I'm extremely pale, so I have to be very careful with colors. Also, it seemed to sit on my skin, and after a few hours just looked like I'd painted over blemishes and under eye circles."

Got a different opinion about a product, and an experience you think other people should hear about? Want to know how well that popular new concealer works on someone with your skin tone and type?

You all absolutely adored January's sexy, soft look last night, and I did, too, so I got the scoop on how her makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin, did it. Goodwin says, "January's Emmy makeup was all about sleek, modern shapes. The overall look was meant to feel strong but refined." To complement the futuristic, classic look of January's dress, Goodwin used lots of texture to mimic the design. To find out how to get the how-to just keep reading.

Get That Tightly Lined Eye Look With These Easy Steps

BellaSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:00:02 -0700

I love the look of a dark eyeliner rimmed with precision around the lash lines. Not only does it make eye color pop, particularly when encircled by a contrasting shadow, but the dark tone creates a brightening contrast against the whites of the eyes. But do you have a hard time getting that liner to stay put, and does your waterline application never seem to go as planned? I hear you.

Earlier today, actress Olivia Wilde stepped out in Spain to promote Escada's new fragrance, Desire Me. She was sporting pale peachy-pink cheeks and lips, along with some trendy copper-toned eyeshadow and serious applied-to-perfection deep black liner. Looking to do a little waterlining of your own? To find out how to get smudge-proof results, just keep reading.

Castle's Makeup Artist Debbie Zoller Gets Gory At Work

BellaSugar — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

As the head makeup artist on ABC's crime dramedy Castle, Debbie Zoller creates everyday makeup looks for the show's main characters. But, seeing that the program is not without its fair share of murder mysteries, Zoller must also create blood spatters, prosthetic detached fingers, and mangled body parts, often working in the most unusual of situations. "Last season we had [to create] a frozen girl dumped out of a freezer," she said. Yikes.

Recently, I caught up with Zoller, who is up for an Emmy for her previous work on Mad Men (more here), to find out more about what a typical workday is like onset at Castle.

Our Ultimate Hollywood Beauty Giveaway Winner Revealed!

BellaSugar — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:04:59 -0700

Back in May, we announced our Ultimate Hollywood Beauty Getaway, with the promise that one lucky winner and a friend would receive the amazing grand prize of a haircut and color by Lisa Satorn, a top stylist at Ken Paves Salon; a full cosmetic makeover by Smashbox Cosmetics lead pro artist Lori Taylor; and a two-night stay at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, including spa treatments at the Ciel spa! We are pleased to announce that reader Mlmoreno47, aka Miranda, gladly accepted our prize, and just returned from her whirlwind weekend in LA.
"When I met Miranda I could see that she was a confident, bubbly young lady," said Satorn. "So I wanted to make sure her color reflected that personality. . . . Instead of the light-pale blond and dark-brown lowlights she already had, I took her to a softer beige blonde on dark blonde to complement her skin tone. It is also a great way to keep blondes healthy and avoid the overprocessed look. As for her cut, I cleaned up all the layers and finished it off with a soft, side fringe," she added.

Doesn't she look gorgeous? To find out what Miranda had to say about her trip and take a peek at some more behind-the-scenes pictures, just keep reading.
