Bridesmaid Dilemma! What Makeup Should I Wear?
Dear Bella,
I am the maid of honor in my friend's wedding and our dresses are chocolate brown. I am very fair with blond hair and green eyes. Brown has never been a good color for me so I have no idea what sort of colors to use on my eyes, etc.
How-To: The Six-Minute Face From Bruce Grayson
"I've done full makeup in less than six minutes," Bruce Grayson said when I interviewed the head of the Emmys makeup department. While many among us are used to doing our makeup in under six minutes — sometimes in a car mirror with screaming children — I thought you might like to know how a pro accomplishes such a thing. After all, unless you've got the paparazzi in the car behind you, your rush job isn't getting splashed across weekly tabs like Bruce's.
How To Get Ladylike Lipstick
As the mood for thoroughly, grown-up glamour continues, the trend for classic, made-up lips shows no signs of abating any time soon.
Choosing your colours is one thing, but this dramatic look is all in the application. First prepare your lips with balm, such as Apples & Pears, (£10.50).

Just when you think you've seen everything, along comes colorOn Instant Eye Shadow Applicator, which does for eyes what Lee Press-On Nails do for your fingertips. Developed by makeup artist Irina Iosilevich, the product is essentially eyeshadow deposited on an eyelid-shaped applicator. To apply it, you peel back the applicator, press it to the closed eyelid, rub the shadow on, and set it with included powder.
Beauty Byte: Self's 2007 Healthy Beauty Awards
Self magazine just announced the winners of its 2007 Healthy Beauty Awards, which recognize skin-care, makeup, and hair products that are both good and good for you. I love lists like this, because they always give me ideas about new products to try (as if I needed more, but whatever).
The Self awards are a great mix of drugstore treasures and high-end brands.
Eyeshadow 101: Today's Theme is Purple
The makeup counters at department stores and the cosmetics aisle at Walgreens can be pretty overwhelming. It's super hard to know which colors to try and which ones go together. I thought I would try to help with this installment of Eyeshadow 101.
Tom Ford For Estee Lauder: Azurēe Soleil Collection
Last year Tom Ford created a smashing cosmetics collection called Azurēe Soleil which was based around two color families: plums and neutrals. The line is intended to make it easy for every woman to create his signature look: a nude lip, a smoky eye and a dusted cheek. It is comprised of 25 products such as : lipsticks, lip glosses, eye liners, lip liners, nail polishes, lip SPF/lip conditioner, cheek glows, eyeshadow duos, face glows, body oils, a mirror and a fragrance.
Get The Most From Your Makeup: Concealer
You may think that concealer is simply for covering up blemishes, red blotches and under-eye circles, but you're not giving it nearly enough credit. A good cream concealer can also double as so much more!
For example, it works well as an eyeshadow primer.
