Remember back in 2001 when Christina Aguilera teamed up with Pink, Mya, and Lil Kim to do “Moulin Rouge”? It was pretty amazing and the girls went all out to get the old-fashioned burlesque look just right.

While Christina’s makeup is certainly not something the average person would copy on a day to day basis (it might not go over well at the office is what I’m saying!) I thought that with Halloween being here and everyone dressing up for parties and outings, this would be a good time for a brilliant makeup tutorial.

Leona Lewis went from being completely unknown to being an overnight world sensation thanks to her incredible efforts on the hit show X-Factor. She performed her song “Happy” on an episode of America’s Got Talent and not only did she sound incredible, she also looked utterly gorgeous.

Her makeup look was a bit of a trademark, it’s a look that she re-creates regularly, involving a nice blue shadow and some liner. It ends up being a very beautiful style that draws a lot of attention to her eyes but it’s not so over-the-top that you would feel ridiculous creating it …read more

Angelina Jolie is a gorgeous woman even when she’s not wearing makeup. However, her trademark look when she does wear makeup is to keep the lips simple and neutral – she has amazing lips, she doesn’t need to do much with them! – and she makes her eyes dramatic, often with “cat’s eye” liner.

This look is actually quite simple once you get the hang of it, but if it’s something you aren’t used to, you might want a bit of guidance. It’s the perfect look for evenings.

Jennifer Aniston is a very beautiful girl and what’s especially nice about her style is that she doesn’t over-do it. She tends to use very natural shades of makeup and always looks fresh and polished.

The best thing about Jenn’s look is that it’s very easy to re-create. I personally love a dramatic, smoky eye but if you don’t do it right (and for a long time I didn’t!) it can end up looking like you’re taking style tips from a raccoon. With such a natural look, it’s quite simple to mimic Jennifer’s technique.

Are you a fan of the Twilight movie? I know that I am, and I must say that the marketing brain behind this new product is an absolute genius. If you also happen to like make-up, you need to know about the new Twilight Beauty cosmetics brand that will be coming out this fall.

While the make-up can’t guarantee to make you look like Bella Swan or Edward Cullen, the products are all inspired by the movie. The brand is going to include about 70 different items – eye shadow, mascara, lip gloss, and more!

Throughout the promotion of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, everyone was talking about Megan Fox and her fabulous dresses that she wore to premieres. She definitely looked stunning, but another thing that I’ve noticed about her is that her makeup is flawless without being overdone.

Megan’s makeup look is the kind I would use for a special event like a wedding or a fancy black tie party. I like when makeup enhances what someone already has.

Celebrities are fun to follow for fashion purposes, but sometimes style can go beyond what you’re wearing. If you wear make-up, you already know how much value a simple Q-Tip can hold. I use mine regularly, mostly for smudging purposes or to wipe away makeup that ended up where it shouldn’t me (like mascara on my brow bone!). However, I keep mine in my vanity cupboard because a big cardboard box of Q-Tips doesn’t really work on my bathroom counter.

Tori Spelling was at Macy’s this week to launch the new Q-Tip Vanity Pack which gives you …read more

Angelina Jolie is arguably the most anticipated woman on the red carpet at pretty much any event. Everyone always wants to see what – and who – she’s wearing. But beautiful dresses aside, it bears noting that Angie also always has great makeup, especially on her eyes which are usually dramatic without being over the top.

That photo is from the Golden Globes two years ago, but the look still stands. She uses it very frequently and it always seems to be in style. Luckily, it’s not too hard to pull it off either.

I know that the Academy Awards were quite awhile back but what I love about seeing the A-listers on the red carpet is that there’s often a timeless quality about their style, especially someone like Anne Hathaway.

Now Anne had a particularly lovely gown, but what I wanted to share with you this weekend was how to get her beautiful, classic makeup look instead. I figure it’s a good time for it – it would be perfect if you have an evening planned out on the town for dinner or dancing, or both! It would even look good for …read more
