Love It or Hate It? Reese's Coiffed Christmas Look

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:00:00 -0800

Reese Witherspoon looked stunning at the LA premiere of Four Christmases last night. The star went for a classic Hollywood hair style with coiffed glossy waves in her signature bright blonde shade. This short style suits Reese's heart-shaped face and her do looked sophisticated without appearing overly old-fashioned.
Reese combined a barely-there base with warm, rust-coloured lipstick. I like her smoky eye makeup too which had an air of festivity with sparkly white shadow blended with charocoal grey colour and black kohl. How about you, what's your opinion of her beauty look? Source

Love It or Hate It? Emma Watson's Ice Beauty

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:00:00 -0800

Last night was this winter's opening of the Somerset House ice rink in London. Actress Emma Watson turned on the Christmas tree lights looking ultra pretty. She went for a fresh-faced effect with flushed cheeks and glossy lips in a flatteringly nude shade. The Harry Potter star vamped up her look with smoky black eye makeup and bold brows.
It's heartening to see a starlet like Emma not going over the top with her makeup. Her shiny blonde hair was tied up in a simple pony to keep the look laid back. What's your opinion of her ice rink look?

Emilia Fox Shows Us How To Age Proof Our Hair: Part 2

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0800

I'm thrilled that English rose Emilia Fox is the new face (and hair) of Charles Worthington's Time Defy Hair Care range. I spoke to the award-winning actress about her beauty routine and the film industry's portrayal of older women so be sure to check out the first part of my interview with Emilia. Here she discusses ageing and the role hair plays in feeling good about yourself.

What do you like about your age?
What I like about my age right now is that I know what suits me!
How does your hair affect your confidence?
I think most people would say the same —my hair really affects my confidence. When it’s styled for me I feel better, in the same way that wearing a beautiful dress or fantastic shoes makes you feel more confident. I love nothing better than having my hair done by someone who is an expert, like Charles.

Beehive vs. Perm: Which Amy Winehouse Hairstyle Do You Prefer?

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Amy Winehouse was snapped yesterday on her way to the pub sporting yet another enormous beehive. It looks like she's wearing a hair piece attached to her new short hair do. Only last week, Amy debuted her new curly perm but it appears like she's already having nostalgia for her trademark big retro hair style. Which of these looks do you prefer on the singer?

Lily Allen looked super chic at the Groucho nightclub last night in London. The singer wore thick dark black hair extensions to give her mane a full, sexy look. It's a far cry from the short quirky style we saw her sporting recently. Lily straightened her fringe too for a sleek effect that is certainly very feminine.
I like how Lily has complemented her newly sophisticated hair style with dark liquid eyeliner and glowing skin. Her nude lip gloss is on-trend for this season too. How about you, what's your opinion of her look? Eddie Van Der Walt/BigPicturesPhoto.com

A casual looking Fearne Cotton wrapped up against the cold as she left Radio 1 in London last night. The DJ went for a laid back beauty look with minimal makeup and messy hair. She wore just a touch of brown kohl and mascara to define her big eyes and I love her glowing skin too. That tomato shade of red lipstick and matching nails certainly added some glamour to the whole affair.
Her hair may have been slightly disheveled but it still looked very shiny and healthy. This bright blonde shade is not for everyone but Fearne carries it off with aplomb. How about you, do you think this a flattering beauty look for Fearne? Eddie Ven Der Walt/BigPicturesPhoto.com

The actress showed off her perfect complexion, which was enhanced by subtle metallic gold tones and muted peach blush. The luminous glow of her skin was complemented with sheer, glossy lips and ultra white teeth.
I'm bowled over by Kate's eye makeup —those taupe and gold shades suit her hazel eyes and the effect is dramatic while still being sophisticated. She opted for an elaborate up do which adds to the regal effect. How about you, what's your view on her beauty look? BigPicturesPhoto.com

A high spirited Amy Winehouse visited her old flat in Camden last night. She wore a scruffy tee shirt but all eyes were on her latest hairstyle. Amy's new short perm looked messy but admittedly super shiny as she scampered around London wearing not a scrap of makeup.
It's refreshing to see Amy making a change from her enormous beehive and I like how this cut makes her hair look naturally thick and healthy. It feels hard to judge Amy's appearance too harshly right now, seeing as she's going through such a rough time. How about you, do you think this new do suits Amy? Mark Miilan/BigPicturesPhoto.com

Keira's Beauty Secret is Credit Crunch Friendly

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 01:00:00 -0800

In my opinion actress Keira Knightley always looks gorgeous. Whether she's working a smoky eyed look on the red-carpet or kicking back with bare skin and a laid back style; her face never looks overdone or caked in makeup. According to rumours, Keira's secret to a great complexion could all be down to bargain beauty brand Nivea.

Keira is renowned for her pale skin and yet we often see her gracing award ceremonies with a healthy glow. According to Look magazine it could all be a result of the British actress' penchant for Nivea Sun Touch. It's ideal to give your complexion a fresh look if you've been feeling a bit pasty recently.

Girls Aloud were working a monochrome fashion look as they arrived at Nobu in London for dinner together, last night. X Factor presenter and Britain's latest sweetheart, Cheryl Cole, looked pretty with bright pink blush and fuschia coloured lipstick. Cheryl emphasised her huge eyes with dark chocolate brown kohl and plenty of black mascara.
Nicola went for a more ethereal style to complement her porcelain skin and stunning bright red hair. Tawny blush played up her sharp cheekbones while smoky eyes and glossy lips made for a classic combo. Whose look do you think is most flattering? Justin Palmer/Antonio Surace/BigPicturesPhoto.com

To celebrate the Spring/Summer 2009 catwalk show of her collection for Mango, Penelope Cruz's sister pulled out all the stops for a glamorous look. She opted for screen siren red lipstick at the event in Barcelona. While I love this colour on her, personally I think the bright lipstick seemed slightly over the top when combined with her dark, kohl-lined eyes and super short dress.
Monica's hair certainly looked shiny and healthy though. She wore it half pulled up with plenty of volume at the crown for a retro effect. What's your opinion on her fashion show look? BigPicturesPhoto.com

American Glamour magazine celebrated their 2008 Women of the Year in NY last night, with Nicole Kidman looking ravishing, alongside fellow actresses Natalie Portman and Kate Bosworth. The Oscar-winning Australian who was honoured with an award, looked etherally beautiful with flawless skin that looked a little more tanned than her usual porcelain colour. Her bright blue eyes were emphasised with a hint of black liner and plenty of mascara. I like her subtle blush look although personally I prefer Nicole with a darker colour lipstick.
Her locks looked coiffed for the event, with sleek waves. I'm a fan of this honey blonde colour on Nicole too. How about you, what's your opinion of her beauty look? Source

Anna Wintour vs. Bee Schafer: Whose Look Do You Prefer?

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:00:00 -0800

Last night at MoMa in New York, Anna Wintour arrived accompanied by her daughter Bee Schafer for the benefit gala. Alongside stars such as Rachel Weisz and a funky looking Agyness Deyn, the pair were there to honour director Baz Luhrmann. Anna's bob was looking blonder than usual and super shiny. A touch of peach blush on the apples of her cheeks, plus ladylike rust red lipstick gave a youthful effect.
Meanwhile, Bee's pale skin looked flawless and she opted for a barely-there lip gloss to add polish. Although I think Bee is stunning, I have to admit that I'd have preferred her to do something more special with her hair. Wearing her mane down, in a straight style with a centre parting seemed uninspiring. How about you, whose beauty look do you love the most? BigPicturesPhoto.com

Trend Alert: Big Hair

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0800

Playing with proportions is key in fashion this season. Not content with puff sleeves or ra ra skirts, designers have taken it to the max this autumn—just think of the Bernard Chandran dress Estelle wore at the MTV Europe Awards last week. If you want an inexpensive route to fashionista status volume is also all the rage as far as hair is concerned. From the rock bouffant dos on the catwalk at Christian Dior to Cheryl Cole's recent foray into 70's glamour puss hair; big is back with a vengeance.

Channel the original 80's doyenne of oversize locks; Joan Collins as super bitch Alexis Carrington in Dynasty (left). All you need for this look is masses of hairspray and lots of back combing. It's time to ditch the straightening irons and opt for gravity-defying creations. Would you work this trend?

Emilia Fox Shows Us How To Age Proof Our Hair

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0800

Award-winning actress and English rose Emilia Fox is all set to be the new face (and hair) of Charles Worthington's Time Defy Hair Care range. We all get so caught up trying to age-proof our skin that it makes sense to take the same approach to our hair. Time Defy is a range of anti-aging hair products targeted at the thirty-plus woman. It's based on the premise that (along with our skin) our hair type can change as we age.

As an in-demand actress Emilia's hair often goes through colour and style transformations, making her a great choice of role model for this range. She says, "Daily styling and colouring have taken their toll over the years and I noticed how the condition of my hair changed when I hit my thirties." To promote the line Emilia shared some of her beauty and hair secrets.

You’ve been positioned by the media as a classic English rose — are you comfortable with this?
I love roses and I am English so it definitely works for me! I love floral print and vintage styles, so I think that’s how I've earned that description but I quite like people having their own views about how I should look. It’s why I love being an actress, dressing up and having different looks and being styled by others.
What’s your best anti-aging tip?
My best tip is to look after your hair as much as you look after your skin and your body.

For Emilia's thoughts on beauty and ageing, simply

Lily Allen looked adorable at GQ's 20th Anniversary Party last night in London. Despite swapping her black strapless dress for a pink fringed number, the singer kept her beauty look the same all night. She opted for a classic Old Hollywood vibe with shiny tumbling curls and matte skin. Lily's bright pink catwalk-esque lips were the focus of the look, but personally I can't decide if it's cutesy or overdone.
Her heavy black eye makeup was slightly smudged to add some rock chick grunge to her otherwise polished style. This makeup certainly makes her brown peepers look enormous. What's your opinion of Lily's GQ style? Source

Liv Tyler Shares Her Glamourous Beauty Secrets

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0800

I admire Liv Tyler. Earlier this year, the actress went through a break up with her husband of five years, so she's now raising her son alone and trying to stay grounded.

Admittedly this girl has amazing rock chick credentials; her dad is Aeorosmith's Steven Tyler and her mum was a definitive groupie and Playboy coverstar of her time. However, Liv always seems down to earth and more than a little self-conscious, despite her stunningly natural beauty.

She has that pale skin and fluctuating body weight which indicates that she's often not considered a typical Hollywood bombshell, yet in my opinion, she is ethereally beautiful. She talked to Glamour magazine about her beauty secrets. For my pick of her top tips, just

Whose Cosmopolitan Beauty Look Do You Prefer?

Last night there was girlie glamour ahoy at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards in London. Bold eye makeup and glossy lips were the name of the game with the set's brunettes also sporting super shiny hair. Singer Alesha Dixon went for a pretty look with softly smoky eyes, pink lip gloss and flowing locks. Sugababes' Keisha worked a similar hair do, but slightly shorter and more coiffed. I was blown away by Keisha's on-trend sugar pink blush and kohl-lined eyes.
Meanwhile, Australian star Dannii Minogue flew the flag for messy up dos with a side twist and tousled fringe. Her skin looked luminous and the rose pink lip colour added some warmth to her complexion. How about you, whose red-carpet look do you think is most flattering?

Never one to play it safe, pop songstress Christina Aguilera showed her true colours at the voting polls for the US elections last night. The star went for all-American bright red lipstick and heavy foundation. Not the kind of girl who goes by the eyes or lips only rule, Christina lined her lids in thick black kohl for a dramatic effect.

She certainly has great skin in this picture, but personally with the lipstick, eyeliner and check hat I don't think Christina is looking very pulled-together. I like her subtle bronzer on the cheeks though. How about you, do you love or hate her voting style?BigPicturesPhoto.com

Would You Buy Hair Stylers From Jordan?

A pink-clad Jordan played on notions of her dual identity at the launch of her new electrical haircare range at Superdrug in London. To demonstrate both of the products (a straightening iron and a curling tong), she styled her hair super sleek on one side and curly on the other. I'm not sure if one side is supposed to represent Katie Price and the other, her alter ego glamour girl Jordan — what do you think? I haven't tried the items yet, but apparently Katie has plans to release a new product every six weeks. You can expect shampoos and hair care products to complement the hair tools. I'm not sure if seeing Jordan using these products makes me want to by them, or just run in the opposite direction! Would you buy hair stylers from Jordan?
