Angela Bassett did it first at the 2009 Critics’ Choice Awards.
Then Mrs. Tom Cruise — aka. Katie Holmes — recently followed suit while supporting her A-list hubby at the UK premiere of Valkyrie.
Oh, the power of lilac eye shadow.
This shade is perfect for those with a dark (like Bassett) or an olive (like Holmes) complexion [...]

To see what’s happening in beauty trends, the wisest (and most obvious) place to look is the runway and the collections coming down it.
It was clear the the fashion set that sequins were going to be huge last autumn-winter ‘09 and into the holiday season — those who have fallen for those glittery, shimmery little [...]

Women can be creatures of habit when it comes to things aesthetic and sartorial.
After all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
Following this maxim often means wearing the same five-inch heels that manage to land you a free drink or two at the bar, carrying the same clutch that fits your Blackberry (plus three [...]

 I swear the biggest reasons that one of the popular girls in my high school was popular was because of her perfectly angled cat’s-eye, drawn on daily with liquid liner.
I’ll admit, she looked great, but the liquid liner was a little too dramatic for my liking.
Fast forward years later to now, when thoughts of cat’s-eye makeup effects for the holidays and New Year’s Eve seem like a really, really good idea.
Thanks to POP Beauty’s Cat Eyes Automatic Pencil (which was a gift!), I can give myself the look in a less dramatic way because the brand’s pencil is a easy-to-draw-on kohl, not steadfast liquid, so if you make a big boo-boo of a mistake, it’s quite easily fixable. Plus, these angled pencils give you more control over how high or long you want that cat-eye.

 Choosing the right eye shadow is like choosing the right clothes for your body type.
Eyes, for the most part, can be a person’s best feature; thus, you want to be complementary, not too matchy-matchy. You want to bring them out without being over-the-top. You want them to be pretty, not frightening.
After all, they arethe windows to your soul, n’est pas?

 This afternoon, I got the chance to preview the newest goodies from organic product range Kiss My Face and chat with its two founders, Bob MacLeod and Steve Byckiewicz.
Kiss My Face, established in the early 1980s on a 200-acre organic farm in New York’s Hudson River Valley, was one of the first companies to dabble in organic cosmetics and skincare, bursting onto the scene with their famous olive bar soaps. MacLeod and Byckiewicz, both vegetarians, set out to make healthy products at the grassroots levels, using organic and natural ingredients (think shea butter, olive oil, beeswax, silica, tea tree and Iceland Moss) blended together in laboratory locations around the world.

 Celebrity designers are a bit old hat these days, whether it be a celeb launching their own line (like Fetish by Eve) or a celeb teaming up with an already-established label (Rachel Bilson with DNKY).
A road a little less traveled is the celebrity makeup line — the only ones I can think of off the bat are Mary Kate and Ashley for Claire’s Accessories and Stuff by Hilary Duff for mass retailers (think Wal-Mart and JC Penney).
Leave it to model, supermom, television host, skivvies schiller and branding machine Heidi Klum to team up with long-time employer Victoria’s Secret for “The Heidi Klum Collection” for the brand’s Very Sexy Makeup line, the new collection which she debuted at the Grove in Los Angeles last week.
