Love It or Hate It? Mischa Barton's Milan Look

BellaSugarUK — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Actress and front row fashionista Mischa Barton was looking glowing at the Vanity Fair party at Milan Fashion Week. She went for a natural makeup look, with a rose coloured lip gloss, black lined eyes and peachy blush. Her skin always looks flawless but I thought she looked slightly tired in this picture. It could be the social whirl of Fashion Week, but I also think she suits fresher shades and pink near the eyes is always dangerous.

Her bouffant hair had shades of Helena Bonham Carter but I actually liked that Mischa was experimenting with candyfloss hair styles and the messy, slightly matte texture that is so on-trend right now.

What do you think of this look?

Agyness Shows Off New Bob

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Just when we thought that New York Fashion Week couldn't show us any more hair surprises, Agyness Deyn stole the limelight from Victoria Beckham by unveiling her brand new bob yesterday at the shows. It's typical of on-trend Agyness to have updated her look, just when it seemed everyone was copying her crop.

This new, short, yet sharp cut looks striking with Agyness' bleach blonde colour and has a retro feel that brings to mind the flapper girls of the 20's. It's also more groomed, feminine, shiny and polished than her previous spiky, street-chic cut.

The haircut debuted at the Michael Kors show and was teamed with matte red lipstick and dark brows. I really like it, however, I'm sure it won't be long before she changes it again - the the girl does love to experiment.

Manchester in Fashion Weekend: Hair Trends

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:00:00 -0700

While my partner in crime was busy with fashion, at Manchester Fashion Weekend, I managed to sneak backstage to get the lowdown on some of the fantastic hair looks. Joshua Robinson from Headmasters was the hair maestro behind the modern messy styles and he shared his inspiration for the shows.

For the best looks from the shows and Sean's pick of the products to re-create these styles, simply read more:

How do the hair styles work with the 5 quite different looks?
To be honest, we thought we were going to have to change the looks a couple of times but we found that hair up has worked with every single one of them.
What's your overall theme?
The theme this season is shabby chic. Basically it’s very Gucci, very Prada. Makeup wise it’s been all about smoky eyes and nude lips and we’ve basically tried to make the hair compliment that.
There's a lot of up dos, how have you made these modern?
We've been incorporating fish tails into the up dos to keep the look textured, which is the new way of plaiting. It looks as if the models have gone clubbing the night before and woken up with messy hair. Basically what we’re doing today is letting people watch the show and then they’re coming down stairs and we’re showing them how to recreate the looks they’ve just seen.
Any tips for re-creating this look at home?
Start off with volumiser from technique from L’Oreal. For the catwalk we sprayed about four times more than you'd usually use to make it really messy. Just start on dry hair and keep overloading it with product. Dry it in and overload it again so you start to get a very dirty texture.
Does this work best on day-old, slightly dirty hair?
Yes but you can create that look with products. Once the hair is full of product, just comb through slightly, obviously not taking too much of the kink and messiness out. Try and scrunch the hair at the same time as combing to keep the volume in. The hair should look quite tatty and disheveled.

London Fashion Week: Go Go Girl Hair at Penkov

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:00:00 -0700

The Penkov girl is a Barbarella Sci-Fi fantasy this season. At the Spring/Summer 2009 London Fashion Week show, the girls wore white structured chiffon shifts with high gladiator sandals and swingy hair. Ultra-soft fabrics and sophisticated cuts were combined with traditional craftsmanship for a collection that cleverly integrated hard white porcelain accessories made into decorative body armour.

Jan Przemyk and his team at Toni and Guy whipped up a delightfully retro hair look that was still wearable and modern. He said "The inspiration for the hair was a typical 90’s grunge ponytail with a polished edge. Think of a Go-Go Dancer on her way home!"

Backstage Jan told me how to get that 'Go Go to go' hair style at home. For an easy how-to and backstage pictures from the show just read more:

First the hair was prepped with copious amount of Label.m Volume Mousse, (£8.95), for extra body and texture.
Next, rather than being brushed through, the product was worked through and pulled at with the fingers. This gave that dishevelled, rough looking texture that kept the look modern. A slightly fluffy, mussed-up feel gave an undone edge.
Finally the hair was pulled back off the face into a very high pony tail. It was secured with a simple elastic for an easy grunge feel.

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:00:00 -0700

Over the course of the week, Katy Perry has been dressing to the nines for catwalk shows and parties during Paris Fashion Week. Not only has her clothing and her makeup changed, but she's been slightly varying her hairstyles whilst staying true to her signature retro curls. Yesterday at , her hair was pulled back on one side with a black and silver flower in it before she changed into a ball gown to attend the John Galliano show.

Get Marissa Miller's Victoria's Secret Makeup Look

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:16:00 -0800

Wowza! I've been checking out the photos from the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that took place in New York City last night and they are smoking h-o-t! The Angels are scantily clad in custom lingerie, dripping in accessories and have added five or so inch heels to their already lengthy legs.

But instead of feeling insecure, I just embrace their beauty and focus on their amazing hair (yes, they're all wearing extensions) and their dewy and sparkly-looking pink makeup.

To recreate this look at home, begin with a clean, hydrated and well moisutrised face. Then, apply a primer, followed by concealer to any red areas or spots, and medium-coverage foundation to the face, neck and decolletage. Next, dust a translucent setting powder all over and buff it to a natural finish by using a clean and fluffy brush.

To find out how you can achieve the rest of their makeup look at home, and to see more images of the models getting ready backstage, just read more.

CHEEKS: Although your skin is matte and prepped, all that you've created is a flawless canvas - and now it's time to have some fun! Add a liquid luminzer all over the face and blend into the foundation with a sponge for a dewy look. Next, apply a medium perky-pink blusher to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards and upwards toward your cheekbones.
EYES: Start by sweeping a pale and creamy champage shadow from the bottom of the lid all the way up to the brows (which by the way must be filled in and perfectly shaped). Then, using a windshield-wiping motion, apply a taupey-grey coloured shadow in the crease for depth and a slightly smoky look. Over the grey, add a touch of pink shadow and blend well. Curl your lashes and apply a powder liner to the upper and lower rims of your eyes. Lastly tack on a full set of false lashes followed by two coats of black mascara.
LIPS: The goal for this lip look is full, glossy and most of all...kissable! The colour should fall somewhere between a pale pink and a medium rose lipstick topped with oodles of shimmery and sheer pink gloss.

Heidi, Miranda & the Angels Gear Up to Share Victoria's Secret

PopSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:00:24 -0800

The Victoria's Secret Angels were up early today to start prepping for tonight's annual runway show. Heidi Klum lead the pack at yesterday's press conference in Times Square, and she was front and center this afternoon getting her hair and makeup done. Her stay in the Big Apple won't be long though, and Heidi said she'll be heading back to her kids on an early flight tomorrow. Miranda Kerr was also there to show off her posing skills in a robe, though she'll apparently be strutting down the runway in a pair of wings - check out the behind-the-scenes photos from her fitting and stay tuned for all the photos of the big event!

Marisa Miller and Alessandra Ambrosio were also hanging around backstage as the show geared up to start. After getting primed for their appearances, they both headed over to a lounge area for snacks and drinks. The proceedings won't air until December 1, but we'll be reporting live from their afterparty this evening so make sure to stay tuned to us on Twitter!

LOTS more photos behind the scenes at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show so read more.

Hello Nasty: Jewelry Made Out of . . . Human Teeth and Hair!

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:50:22 -0800

People fashion some crazy things, and human teeth and hair jewelry are the latest materials being used. But Australian Polly van der Glas has some fans - she received the Craft Victoria Fillipo Raphael Fresh! Award for her work. All sterling silver pieces are hand-made in Melbourne and the designer is currently taking donations for teeth, since they're hard to come by. But don't fret, the molars are sterilized and the hair is locally donated or sourced from India or China. Does that put your mind at ease? If you can stomach it, proceed.
