It isn't easy trying to HIGHLIGHT brunette or black hair, because it's a challenge to make it look subtle, or like it belongs there.
But, having said that, lots of celebrities have copper or honey highlights blended into their locks for added style, softness + definition.
Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian and Kerry Washington are just 3 glam ladies who LOVE playing around with sun-kissed highlights. And now First Lady Michelle Obama has joined the popular trend.
Check out Mrs. Obama at a film screening in Washington, D.C. yesterday. FLOTUS is rockin' some copper strands:
What do you think?
We give Michelle Obama's new, sun-kissed highlights the thumbs up!
The highlights are stylish, soft + playful.
The ONLY problem with highlights on a dark-haired gal--they can turn BRASSY. Trust us...we've been there.
Other than that.....Good products are key.
Add this to your shampoo---Ardell Perfector 777 Plus Packette ($1.50 for each packet, at gotbeauty.com).
"Add to shampoo to reduce damage and brassy tones from sun, wind and chlorine."

Sandra Bullock And Roselyn Sanchez: Separated At Birth?!
We're sure this has been talked about before......But don't actresses Sandra Bullock + Roselyn Sanchez look a lot alike these days?!
There's Sandra with hunky George Clooney at the Venice Film Festival.
She's 49! OMG!!
And there's a pic of 40-year-old Roselyn on the beach with her beautiful doggies.
The older Sandra becomes, the more she resembles Roselyn.
So.....what's going on?
We would suspect--excellent dermatologists for both gorgeous ladies.
Oh, please....This is the land of Hollywood.
Sandra Bullock's face has appeared much fuller with higher cheekbones in the past year or so. And with that added volume, the Academy-award winning star has been able to look more youthful and, well, start morphing into the 'Devious Maids' star Roselyn Sanchez.
Roselyn, too, has been speculated to be using a lot of cosmetic filler to further plump up her amazing, high cheekbones.
The best cosmetic fillers for super volume in the face, include Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane:
"Restylane® and Perlane® are cosmetic fillers that are injected into areas of decreased volume that show up in your face over time due to aging, smoking and the effects of gravity and sun. These fillers are hydrophilic and the purpose is to add volume, thus diminishing or almost completely eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. These techniques are also used in conjunction with plastic facial surgery. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and provides volume and fullness in the skin."--plastic surgery website.
Whatever both women are doing to stay forever young ...we applaud them. We think they look great, and certainly, NOT overdone.

Heidi and Mel B Try To Get The Tired Out With Eye Pads
Well, if eye gel pads are good enough for 2 of television's prettiest judges, then maybe these will work for all of us!
The gorgeous 'America's Got Talent' duo were fooling around with spa beauty treatments, and decided to show the world how they get the tired out.
Check out their Instagram pic.
Mel B + Heidi still look gorgeous even without makeup.
Gel eye pads work by firming and smoothing the oh-s-o-delicate eye area in a matter of minutes. Even celebrities suffer from over-worked, tired eyes.
We're not sure what name of gel eye pads Mel B + Heidi are wearing here, but we've found a great brand to try:
Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gel Pads ($30). These little gel pads improve circulation, de-puff eyes + firm up skin in just 10 minutes.
Eye gel pads are what we call a quick beauty fix.
Here's what one customer review says about Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gel Pads:
"Try 30 minutes before you land when you have to fly the red-eye
In the morning when your eyes look tired, and/or puffy
At night when you're getting ready to go out
Wish I could afford to use them whenever I want."

Miley Cyrus Cavorts Desperately On Stage But At Least Her Brows Look Great
What can we say. We are not here to judge. Let's put it this way:
Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance at the 2013 VMAs will NOT soon be forgotten.
Now as an artist, that can be good-----or that can be bad. Not sure how this will all work out for the very young star.
Do we blame Robin Thicke, who should know better?
He's so darn sexy, we have trouble scolding him for anything....
But there was a bright spot for 20-year-old Miley.
We thought her brows looked beautiful. Whoever did the makeup, was spot-on.
Okay....we could do without the tongue shot, but you can see pretty close to perfect eyebrows.
The eyes look very nice with minimal cosmetics except for some gorgeous, long lashes.
And the bold red lip balances the look.
The hair?
Well, the pop star now misses her longer locks, but we think she can rock this silliness just fine at the tender age of 20. She says she's trying grow her hair out.
How to fake thicker brows?
A professional makeup artist would be nice. But you could also try this nifty brow helper:
The TouchBack BrowMarker ($19.95). "Lasts all day, won't rub off. Enhances thin brows. Blends stray grays."
The tip is so ultra-fine, you can actually draw on individual hairs. This lets your faux thick brows look natural--all blended in....Er...blurred lines, so to speak.

Lady Gaga Prepares For Sunday's VMAs: Is She Fashion Icon-Worthy?
Okay....Please forgive us....But we are plain tired of all these Lady Gaga costumes + wigs.
Take a look at the super talent strolling along the streets of New York City earlier today, heading to the recording studios in preparation of Sunday night's VMA show.
Is she fashion icon-worthy? Really now....Aren't you bored with Gaga's theatrics?
Is this attractive?
We don't get it. Maybe we are just too old.
The 27-year-old mega pop star has been cited often for being a fashion-forward original.
Vogue mag has featured her a number of times, and stylish celebrities have applauded Gaga's uniqueness for a while now:
Donatella Versace LOVES Lady Gaga and believes the star has the power to influence a generation.
"I'm sure that, if Gianni were still alive, he would have been a huge fan of hers," Donatella said.
And Sarah Jessica Parker has given Gaga compliments, too:
The glam actress believes they 'have very different silhouettes' but admits she admires 'her aesthetic choices.'
Alright, little monsters, you tell us.
Is Lady Gaga Fashion Icon-Worthy?
We say, NO!
