Your Go-To Guide For Wearing a Nude Lip Look

Jaime Richards — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:40:00 PDT

Struggling to find a nude lipstick shade that matches your skin tone? The trick to wearing a neutral hue is to actually think subtle touches of color in lieu of taking the term "nude" literally. From beige to mocha to sheer washes of pink, a nude-toned lip can be quite flattering, especially when coupled with a smoky eye. Take Rihanna, for instance, who opted for a pretty coffee-colored lipstick paired with dark liner and soft shadow at the 2012 Met Gala. Find out a few tips for going nude, sans the chalky effects, when you read more.

13 Health Gimmicks You Can Stop Wasting Money On

Business Insider — Tue, 01 May 2012 00:15:21 PDT

Consumers have a tendency of falling for the next big health gimmick. Save your money on health duds with these Business Insider tips.

No matter how many times we're told otherwise, Americans' obsession with get-healthy-quick schemes will likely never die. Too bad most of these fads aren't worth their weight in salt - or your hard-earned dollars. We've put together a list of some of the worst budget-sucking health trends that still persist today.

Coconut Water

Coconut water may be nature's version of Gatorade but some brands have already caught fire for over-hyping its nutrient content. Vita Coco agreed to settle a $10 million class action lawsuit over an independent study that showed the drinks didn't pack near as many electrolytes as advertisements implied. Some coconut waters are also loaded with added sugar, which will do nothing to help your waistline.

Alternative: Pick up your own young green coconuts on the cheap from an Asian produce market. Just crack them open with a cleaver and pop in a straw.

"All-Natural" Foods

30 percent of Americans bought more natural foods in 2011, according to a Rodale study. But what are we really paying more for? There's no clear cut regulation on what makes food "natural," which means just about any company can slap that label on its packages, add a fancy green theme and jack up the price.

Says Andrew Schrage of MoneyCrashers: "Before buying any food that is touted as being 'all natural,' take a look at the ingredient list before you check out. Keep in mind that butter and salt are indeed natural ingredients. So stocking up on natural foods may not achieve anything other than increasing your grocery bill."

I Love Your ShopStyle: Pretty as a Peach

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 03:30:17 PST

ShopStylist HanounaQ conjured up the prettiest peach and pink hues via a silky Spring frock and a pale draped blazer combo. This Chloé dress is a perfect day-to-evening piece, but for this specific ensemble, we think you should accent it with a leopard print-and-shimmery jacquard mini tote, strappy pink heels, and delicate pink gem drop earrings. Don't forget to spritz on your favorite scent, wear a sweet nude lip color, and apply a skin highlight for a dewy, fresh glow.

How Not to Look Washed Out and Other Color-Correcting Tips

Jaime Richards — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:28:27 PST

Have you ever had a top on and thought, "Ew, this color is doing absolutely nothing for my complexion?" We've all been there. And the same principle rings true with makeup, particularly when it comes down to the old-school notion that warms must wear warms and cools must wear cools.

"I don't like to tell people they can't wear colors because I've always believed we should be able to wear whatever we please," explains celebrity makeup artist Emily Kate Warren. "That, paired with the fact that it's difficult for people to determine their undertones, may mean they are assessing themselves wrong and avoiding colors they could actually wear." But luckily there are a few ways you can still wear the colors you love, even if it takes a little bit of color correction to get there. See Warren's tips when you keep reading.
