Scarlett Shares Her Favorite Beauty Tips

BellaSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 06:02:49 -0700

As the face of Dolce & Gabbana's makeup line, which rolled out last February, Scarlett Johansson's been hitting the red carpet these days with some impressively bold makeup looks. Recently, the brand's Swide.com, caught up with Scarlett in London, where the actress dished on her beauty tips, muses, and favorite shades. Check out highlights from the interview below:

On changing her look from city to city: My makeup doesn't necessarily change from city to city, but more from a daytime event to a nighttime event. For daytime, I like to keep my look simple with a creamy complexion, rosy cheek and minimal, if any lip color. For nighttime, I like to try many different looks varying from a smoky eye and nude lip to a classic eyeliner and red lip.
Her beauty muses: I always look at classic beauties to pay homage to on the red carpet. Rita Hayworth, Lauren Bacall, and Lucille Ball are beauty icons that inspire many of my looks.
On what makeup she'd grab from the line if she only had five minutes: The lipsticks are absolutely phenomenal. I love the cream lipsticks, the consistency is great and the colors are really opaque. Devil is the ideal red. Wearing it is the perfect way to feel dressed up, flirty and playful without having to put in too much effort.
Her tip for creating an old-school look: Use a lip pencil, like #3, to line the outer edges of the lips before filling in with red lipstick in order to create the perfect classic lip shape.

What the $9 Lipstick Has In Common With the $30 One

BellaSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:01:22 -0700

What does a drugstore have in common with Dolce & Gabbana? Usually, the answer would be a big "not much," but when it comes to beauty, things are different. The fabulous and famous makeup artist Pat McGrath worked with D&G on its newish Dolce & Gabbana makeup collection, creating a wide range of colors for the luxe launch.

What you might not know is that McGrath is also the cosmetics guru for Procter & Gamble, the company behind CoverGirl and Max Factor (which is soon to be discontinued in the U.S.). And just like she consulted on the high-end D&G beauty brand, she creates the color stories for these drugstore brands, too. It's almost the makeup equivalent of a designer doing a line for H&M: same talent, different product. And although I haven't tried the Dolce & Gabbana makeup yet, I've found Max Factor's Vivid Impact lipstick ($8.97) to be creamy and highly pigmented. So whether you splurge on D&G or opt for a more affordable choice, you'll have a bit of McGrath mastery either way.

Who Wore It Better? D&G Plaid Shirt Dress

FabSugarUK — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:00:37 -0700

If you don't know that tartan is a key Autumn trend by now then where have you been?! The trend appeared on the catwalk at Dolce & Gabbana which is exactly where this funky shirt dress came from. Most of you were impressed by Kimberly Stewart wearing this dress a few weeks ago but now Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has also been spotted rocking the same style. Both teamed the dress with lace-up ankle boots but Kimberly also added in a belt. Who do you think wore it better?

Trend Alert: Rustic Romance

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:00:00 -0700

This Spring/Summer the catwalks were awash with ultra modern makeup looks, from theatrical glitter, to bursts of bright colour. The trend we all actually want to wear though, is going by the name of Rustic Romance. Think fierce, bold brows, rust eye shadow shades and gently blushed cheeks.

Rustic Romance was the main makeup story at the Milan shows, where grown up glamour is always on the agenda. This season, however, there's a definite, Southern Italian influence, with strong, womanly looks being all the rage.

I loved the rust mixed with berry lipsticks at Dolce & Gabbana, (pictured), the subtle gold shadow at Daks by Giles Deacon and the soft, pink blush at Prada and Blumarine.

It's a classically romantic look, tinged with rustic influences. For my pick of the best products to re-create the trend, simply read more

For a rust-berry coloured lipstick, try Max Factor, in Rosewood, (£7.99).
A powder blush gives a more womanly finish. I like Bourjois in Lilas D'Or, (£6.25).
Skin should be flawless and matte. Use a good quality base, such as Clinique Superbalanced Makeup, (£18.50).
A subtle gold or bronze shade on the eyes, works well with berry lips for summer evenings. Take the colour right up to the brows, as at Daks by Giles Deacon, for a modern effect.
A good bronze-gold colour, is MAC Amber Lights, (£10). It's not too heavy, so is perfect for this subtly glamourous look.
Make sure to keep brows looking bold but groomed – try one of Benefit's great new brow products.

Fab Flash: Naomi Campbell Update

FabSugarUK — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:00:50 -0700

There is so much Naomi Campbell related news to share with you today that she should (almost) have her own category name. Last week she appeared in court over the Heathrow attack claims in April and has subsequently been sentence to 200 hours of Community Service. Despite this, rumour has it this is not the last we'll hear of the lost luggage incident. Campbell has reportedly claimed that air staff called her a 'golliwogg'. BA airstaff are threatening to sue over these allegations.

However, she did not let this hold her modeling career back and soon appeared back on the catwalk showing what she does best. Unusually, Campbell appeared at Milan's Menswear Fashion Week on the catwalk at Dolce & Gabbana. Also revealed this week was her latest ad campaign for Yves Saint Laurent.

In March, it was announced that Campbell would take over from Kate Moss to be the face of the legendary brand. In the ad she appears wearing those genie trousers which she sported to this years CFDA awards. What do you think of the ad?

Lindsay Lohan at D&G Party

FabSugarUK — Tue, 27 May 2008 05:00:24 -0700

Lindsay Lohan attended the Dolce & Gabanna Cannes party over the weekend in a bum-skimming green dress. The mini dress features plenty of funky applique detail so she kept accessories minimal with simple diamond earrings and necklace. I can't help feeling that the dress is just slightly too short for her but what do you think?

FabSugarUK — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:00:33 -0700

Yesterday we reported on Duffy's performance at Dolce & Gabbana in Milan and it seems she might have struck up a friendship with the design duo. A few weeks ago the singer was in Paris promoting her album wearing a chic trench coat and carrying a gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana Lily bag. The tote of many compartments is highly sought after this season. It is made of beautiful soft chestnut leather and it featured on the Spring catwalk. It is available for £690 from my-wardrobe.com.

Milan Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2008: Dolce & Gabbana

FabSugarUK — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:32:44 -0800

Milan Fashion Week continued today with shows from some of the biggest players in fashion including D Squared, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana. Earlier in the week Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce presented their Royal inspired D&G collection but did they take the same inspiration for this line?

There was a very country feel to the collection which was heavy on checkered prints and smart tailoring. Fabrics were textured including corduroy, tweed and fur. There was also plenty of printed silk used in jaunty neck scarves, full skirts and pussy bow blouses. Similar to the D&G line, skirts were below the knee and trousers were high waisted. Nearly all looks were completed with a leather belt.

Cowboy style was referenced through mixed leather knee boots and checked shirts, which were occasionally worn with rock star print t-shirts peeking through. Autumn/Winter '08 definitely has a more mature and sophisticated approach, will be interesting to see how well it is translated to the High Street. Do you think people will take to the longer length of skirts/dresses? Is long the new short?
