Which Hills Star's Hair Do You Like Best?

bellasugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 14:00:25 -0800

The stars of The Hills were all out in NYC last night to celebrate the fourth season finale of their dramatic show. OK, so maybe I shed a tear or two. Spencer did do the right thing and Heidi was teary most of the episode, so it's justifiable, right? As they walked the red carpet in their finest gear, Lauren fancied up her look with a tucked-under updo, Heidi and Audrina took a more classic approach, and Whitney — she went for a hippie-flower-girl kind of style. So tell me, which of these waved hairstyles is your favorite? Source

I just picked up an old issue of one of my favorite tabloids and noticed that Heidi Montag was wearing purple nail polish while frolicking on the beach with Spencer.

Since the girls of The Hills are huge trendsetters, this means that purple polish is likely making its way into the world right about now. Below are a select couple of cool violet nail varnishes.

Lauren Conrad Has a Heart, and Beauty Tips Too

The Hills are alive... with the sound of charity. This week, I had the chance to chat with Lauren Conrad in New York. You might know that she's a spokesperson for Mark cosmetics, but her partnership with the brand is growing in big ways. Mark has announced a new initiative, m.Powerment, which aims to raise awareness and stop relationship abuse. As part of the program, LC has designed the "Have a Heart" necklace ($22), and all proceeds will go to the cause.

Until the necklace goes on sale in September, though, LC is staying busy with her clothing line and — of course — the next season of The Hills. Since she's got the pretty SoCal girl thing down pat, I asked her to share some of her beauty tips. To find out how she gets her eyeliner just so,

How-To: Audrina Patridge's Hills Finale Party Makeup

bellasugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:00:17 -0700

One thing's for certain: If Audrina Patridge is feeling left out or sad these days, it certainly isn't showing. On Monday night at The Hills finale party, she showed off long and shiny hair, bronzed makeup, and clear skin.

I've gathered a few product and application suggestions so you can re-create her sultry metallic eyes and shiny nude lips at home.

FACE: Audrina is young, so her skin doesn't need much coverage. Start by smoothing concealer over any dark circles and red spots and then dust a loose mineral foundation all over your face extending just below your jaw.

How-To: Heidi Montag's Letterman Makeup Look

bellasugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 14:00:46 -0700

Lord knows I'm not the biggest fan of Heidi Montag (star of The Hills), but I will say that her makeup looks stunning here outside of the Late Show studio in New York City. Her face is so smooth, and her cheekbones are looking mighty sculpted.

Heidi was there to talk about the show, her new clothing line, and of course, her (lame) boyfriend Spencer. For those of you who are looking to mimic Heidi's Letterman-show makeup, here's what to do.

FACE: Smooth on a medium coverage, pale foundation such as Yves Saint Laurent Perfect Touch Radiant Brush Foundation in #6, and blend. The best part about this product is that the brush is attached. Then, dust a mineral powder over the foundation, apply concealer and a little brightener around the eyes.
CHEEKS: Her face looks almost porcelain, so you aren't going to want to disturb it with too much color. I suggest using a light, shimmer-free, tannish-coral contouring blush like MAC in Sincere to the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards and outwards along the low side of the cheekbones. Make sure you blend well with a soft, fluffy brush. Next, add a touch of subtle, silvery highlighter along the very top of your cheekbones, to your forehead and along the top of your nose.

Psst! Zoya Has Some Summer Gossip

Looks like The Hills is unstoppable. Zoya has created six new shades of toluene-, formaldehyde- and DPB-free nail enamel and three new shades of sheer shiny lip gloss. They're named after LC and company.

It makes sense, especially since Whitney and Heidi are setting nail trends of their own. You'll appreciate that these colors are much more likable than some of the characters, and they're perfect for your upcoming party circuit. My favorite shade is Elodie, a vibrant melon-colored polish. Check out the colors below and let me know what color you like the most. Even if it turns out to be Heidi, I'll forgive you.

How-To: Lo Bosworth's Teased Chignon

bellasugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:00:37 -0700

Yesterday at the Lauren Conrad LA Fashion Show her BFF and new roomie Lo Bosworth (also of The Hills) styled her hair in a chic, teased chignon. The teasing gives height to the crown and sides of her head (which gives symmetry and balance to an oval face). To learn how to re-create this fashion-forward look at home, just follow my directions.

STEP 1: Begin with damp hair. (If your hair hasn't been washed in a day or two, that's even better — just spritz it with water.) Then add about two fist-sized amounts of mousse to your hair and distribute it evenly. Use a large round brush to blow hair dry, directing the hair away from the face.

Trend Alert: Turquoise Nail Polish

bellasugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:00:20 -0700

Among the many qualities that make Whitney Port (of The Hills) so lovely is that she has her own style. I've always thought of Whit as someone who sets trends as opposed to following them. So when I spotted this style star sporting shiny turquoise nail polish, I was excited.

For anyone who's willing to try out a wild new water-colored varnish, get ready for the next big nail trend. You can always go back to my China Glaze review, and here are two more aqua nail polishes.

Nic's Sticks by OPI in Baby Go Bye-Bye ($6.99) is a vibrant turquoise color. This relatively new and easy-to-use nail polish pen is great if you are looking for a quick color fix. I haven't tried them, but there are 30 colors and from what I understand, the only drawback is that they are a little runnier than the original OPI formula. The advantage: the polish dries in just one minute.

Last night on The Hills, the girls gave us some Halloween beauty looks to keep in our back pockets for next year!

However, in the past two episodes of The Hills, I've spied pale gold digits on Heidi Montag.

Also, did you notice Heidi's skin looking almost like porcelain? (I'm hoping that she wears a high SPF while soaking up that Southern California sun.) And I hope you enjoy this week's beauty quiz, too. For more fun, check out GeekSugar's tech quiz as well as FabSugar's fashion quiz. Good luck!

I just finished watching Episode 15 of The Hills, 'With This Ring' and I am totally loving Whitney's cuteness before her big date.
