Which New Moon Premiere Hairstyle Looks Best on Kristen?

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:15:00 -0800

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner kicked off the world wide press tour for New Moon on Tuesday in Paris. Kristen arrived in a girly, flesh-toned dress with her hair styled all down and parted in the centre. The following day in London, she wore her hair up, and last night at a fan event in Madrid, her hairstyle was more rocker looking with her fringe parted on the opposite side, and her layers less wispy.

Besides checking out all of the amazing interviews that PopSugar UK and PopSugar US have done with the cast, vote on which premiere hairstyle you like most on Kristen here!

Is the Blake the New Rachel?

BellaSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:00:17 -0800

In the '90s, one hairstyle reigned supreme: the Rachel. When Jennifer Aniston debuted this layered bob for Friends, it seemed like half the women in America followed suit. It truly is the era's iconic haircut. Now, The New York Times makes the case for Blake Lively's hair being the It style for this decade. "Her hair right now is a big trend," said New York stylist Nuri Yurt, adding that it works only for tall, thin women.

Blake Lively does have beautiful hair, but is it groundbreaking and iconic the way the Rachel was? I'm not convinced. What about you - do you think this is the new iconic cut, or is it just a bunch of buzz?

Years ago, when hair expert Keneesha Hudson allowed her curly locks to go natural, it proved to be a positive experience. "I feel a great sense of freedom wearing my own hair," she told me.

As owner of Urbanbella salon in Atlanta, Keneesha educates women about embracing their own curl. She's already offered us tips on taking care of curly locks, as well as taming unruly strands, and now it's time for tips on cuts and styling. To find out her sage advice, just read more.

We've all had times when we've woken up after a particularly fun night, when the raccoon look is in full effect. Smudgy mascara happens, and unless you're intentionally applying face paint under your eyes to shield out the sun during your Saturday morning flag football games, I don't know many people who appreciate mascara gone south. But with a few simple tips, you can keep those product slips at bay. Besides the obvious - waterproof mascara - here are some other ways to keep your mascara on the lashes, not on your skin. Check out some suggestions for staying in the clear when you read more.

The New Yorker Profiles Kelly Wearstler

The “presiding grande dame of West Coast interior design,” Kelly Wearstler, is featured in a six-page profile in the Sept. 14 issue of The New Yorker.

I've always considered Wearstler (pronounced "Worst-ler") an enigma - wife of a hotel mogul, author, Top Design judge, crimped-hair enthusiast, Southern belle, ex-Playboy model - but her design skill is irrefutable. So, it was interesting to read about how the girl who grew up in a cluttered Myrtle Beach home decorated in a "blowsy Provincial style" became the face of ornate, layered, over-the-top Hollywood Regency style.

"You don’t hire her for her subtlety, you hire her for what her critics call ‘muchness'," said a client. Her style, as it turns out, is governed more by instinct than intellect: "I don't have time to think things through a lot. I just do how it feels," she says. I was also intrigued to hear that she thinks of herself as having "a very European sensibility" that's "well travelled, collected." Pick up a copy to read the full text or read an abstract online.

Product Review: HerCut, Made Just For Your Haircut

BellaSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:01:31 -0700

In an attempt to offer a new twist in the haircare market, HerCut, a line of products tailored to the form and shape of your actual haircut, launches online today. Earlier, most of you said you'd at least give it a try, but as expected, there were some rumblings about whether or not these products could actually work, as they eschew something rather important when it comes to your hairstyle - its texture.

HerCut offers five styling "Catalysts" ($22 each) that pump out a cream on one side and a gel on the other, to complement the foundation of the haircut (think multichambered toothpaste dispensers). Those haircut foundations are the Bob, the Blunt, the Shag, Long Layers, and the Pixie. The product lineup also includes three different types of paraben- and sulfate-free shampoos ($19 each) and conditioners ($19).

Fake Rihanna's Funky Fringe - It's Super Easy!

BellaSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:00:13 -0700

Recently, various stars have been stepping out with blond-streaked bangs, including beauty chameleon Rihanna. While hanging out in New York last night, she showed off some chunky highlights poking out from under her hairline. If you're looking for a bit of a change without the commitment, a pop of color under the fringe just might be the way to go.

To get the look, ask your stylist for heavily sliced highlights that are hidden under your bangs. Depending on how you part your hair, you can manipulate the streaks to make them the focus of your style, or hide them under the weight of your exterior layers. You can also cut down inexpensive clip-on hair extensions to size, then place where desired. Try EasiLites Human Hair Clip in Color ($9) for some wild color options or Platinum Hair Extensions ($6 for two) if you're feeling platinum-bound.

Get Bee Shaffer's Perfect September Issue Smoky Eye

BellaSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:00:55 -0700

Bee Shaffer definitely got the style gene from her mother, the infamous Vogue editor Anna Wintour. At the premiere of The September Issue, her pitch-perfect hair and makeup were accentuated by her subtle, sexy smoky eye.

The secret to this sophisticated look is the unconventional shades used. Instead of black and gray, slightly glittery green liner close to the lash rim makes her eyes pop, while a dusty lilac eyeshadow layered over a fawn base creates depth and drama. It's softer than a traditional smoky eye but has just as much impact. Check out some of the liners and shadow below to re-create to look for yourself.

BellaSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 06:02:16 -0700

Ciara arrived at the TXT L8TER event in Hollywood the other night looking like a modern-day Audrey Hepburn. I've always been in awe of her long, super-shiny hair, but I'm really coveting this new cut, which is actually - scoop! - a perfectly shaped hair piece (no worries, you can do this with your own hair, too).

To find out how it's done, I talked with Warren-Tricomi Los Angeles salon stylist Kiyah Wright, the Emmy-winning makeover guru who just transformed Ciara. (She's also been responsible for the amazing hair of Tyra Banks, Gabrielle Union, Iman, Mary J. Blige, and more.) She had some great tips and a ton of excellent advice. Want to know how to get this gorgeous hairstyle on your own or with a little help from the beauty supply store? Just keep reading.
