Get Catherine Keener's Sundance Glow
Catherine Keener always looks fresh-faced and glowing, and lucky for us, celebrity makeup artist, Nick Barose, who did the actress's makeup at the Sundance premiere of Please Give over the weekend, has shared his tips for getting the look. "If the skin looks hydrated, especially in this extreme-cold weather, then the rest of your makeup will look great," he said.
To give Catherine's skin a healthy glow pre-makeup, he used Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream ($75), and for the eyes, Barose left on the Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels ($45) for 10 minutes to prevent creasing.

Is This iPhone Lip Gloss Palette Cool or Just Corny?
Beauty junkies who've also been begging for an iPhone shouldn't be surprised if this Lip Mobile lip gloss compact ($9) appears in their stockings this year.

Make Red Lipstick Work For You Like LC
At the Avon Hope Honors Gala, all the celebrity Avon ladies (and the Avon man) were out, including Courteney Cox, Reese Witherspoon, Fergie, and Patrick Dempsey. Of course, no Avon lineup would be complete without Lauren Conrad, the spokeswoman for Mark. To complement her gray cocktail dress, Lauren opted for a 1940s glam makeup look, complete with glowing cheeks, winged-out liner, and warm red lips.
How to Wear Glittery Liner in a Classy Way
Who ever said that glittery makeup is only reserved for the middle-school crowd? At last night's New York premiere of Amelia, it definitely wasn't Hilary Swank. Wearing an unexpected silvery-blue shadow on both her upper and lower lash lines to coordinate with her steely blue-green gown, Hilary proves that sparkling, shimmery finishes don't have to look cheesy.
5 Ways to Get Chip-Resistant Matte Nails
There's no denying that matte nail polish is the "it" polish finish right now. In fact, there's no denying that nail polish in general is having one hot moment — particularly in the drugstore category. While matte has a very fashion-forward appearance, the problem is that it just doesn't wear as long as regular polish.
Jemma Kidd Has Easy Eye Makeup Basics
When it comes to applying your makeup, what area do you find to be the trickiest? If you're like me, it's all about the eye area. While I love trying trendy shades and techniques, sometimes I just want a quick and easy routine.
Recreate LC's Double Braids With Tips From Her Stylist!
Just when we thought there couldn't possibly be any more ways to wear braids, who better than trend-setting Lauren Conrad to bring us back in?

Celebrity stylist Byron Williams of the Byron and Tracey Salon created the look for Lauren, using her multihued frock as inspiration.
