Nicole Richie Lives Up To The Title Of Fab 'Fashion Star'

Okay, some people would argue that Nicole Richie is almost paper-thin, and that she has been looking tinier-than-ever.

Yes, she is super-slim, but we are not sure how much, if any pounds she has recently shed.

Now that all that has been said, take a look this stylish lady.

We think Nicole wears clothing well. And we believe she really lives up to the title of Fashion Star, her TV reality designer show, in which she is a mentor/judge.

We don't care what anyone says, the talented jewelry + clothing designer looks so darn chic here, as she strolled around New York City yesterday.

Gotta LOVE the bold red lip, cool eye and on-trend side part / small ballerina bun.

Nicole looks polished, glam + tanned!

Nicole's complexion is so dewy + beautiful.

Don't laugh, but the petite mom-of-two uses a simple bar of Dove Soap:

Dove White Beauty Bars ($13.49, for 4/ 8 oz. bars, at drugstore.com).

"I wash my face with it every night,"Nicole says. "It never dries out my skin, unlike a lot of cleansers.

Maybe she's right.

The Dove® Beauty Bar has one-quarter moisturizing lotion to replenish your skin, leaving it feeling smooth and soft.  It's a cleanser recommended by dermatologists.

New Mommy Makeover: Kim Kardashian Goes Blonde + Kanye Lovin' It!

"It's something she's wanted to do for a long time," her colorist George Papanikolas says. "I've been coloring her hair for a year, and she's wanted to go blonder since the day we met," he tells E! Online.
And it isn't easy being blonde, especially when your natural roots are very dark brown to black.

Mr. Papanikolas says it took work turning the reality star beauty's dark hair to golden honey blonde locks. Two appointments were necessary to complete the sexy, transformation, which took place at mom Kris Jenner's house.

"We kept it really modern and rooty," he added.

Kim K also got a new haircut from Chris McMillan, Jennifer Aniston's celebrity hairdresser.

Kanye is in LOVE with her flaxen mane, and Kim K is happy with the head-turning results:

"She was so excited. She loved it!" Mr. Papanikolas said. "It was scary for me!"

Okay, ladies + gents.....

Is Kim K's new blonde hair Cheap-looking or Gorgeous-looking??

Michael Kors: Now Designs The Perfect Face With New Makeup Line

He's a legendary American sportswear designer, and now Michael Kors wants to 'design' the perfect face!

He spoke with the Associated Press about his new makeup collection:

"Beauty is always such an important part of my runway. When we put on a fashion show – after this many years – I’ve learned the layers and the steps. When I first start thinking mood of the season, beauty is part of it from the start."

"The right dress with the wrong makeup is still wrong," he added.

 

 

 

The fashion designer has a pretty-looking assortment of lipsticks, bronze powders and nail lacquers now debuting at Macy's.

We think Kors' taste is exquisite, so we would expect nothing LESS of his new makeup/beauty collection.

One tube of Michael Kors Lip Lacquer will set you back $24. Not cheap, but not the most expensive cosmetics on the block.

The award-winning designer is also launching 3 new perfumes, Sexy, Sporty and Glam.

We guess, it's good to be Michael Kors. Quite an empire he's building.

Still miss Kors as Project Runway judge. The Bravo TV show is not quite the same.

Gisele Bundchen In Beantown With Her Marvelous Mane

For more than a decade now, model Gisele Bundchen's hair has had a huge impact in the worlds of beauty and fashion.

Her enviable, sun-kissed locks have been copied over + over again by women around the world.

So many girls have resorted to hair extensions to get Gisele's sexy, beachy-wavy long hair.

The style is the supermodel's signature look, and remains that way today.

There's Gisele, relaxing in a Boston park yesterday with baby Vivian. There is no stylist around, and her mane still resembles that Victoria's Secret sexy bed-head. Oh yeah...and she appears to be enjoying a carrot, living the healthy lifestyle for real, might we add.

It's touching set of photos. No posing for the cameras.  Just a loving mom with her adorable baby daughter.

Hey, summer is almost over, but that doesn't mean you can't put in a few, sexy blonde highlights like Gisele's.

Clairol puts out a very good highlighting kit for women to use at home, according to New York City colorist Marcello Paglionico. He told InStyle magazine that this formulation really delivers, "beautiful, natural, beachy" highlights without a hint of brassiness. And because it is oil-based, it leaves hair in fantastic condition."

And the price is nice, $14.79, at CVS.

Kourtney Kardashian Goes For The Sexy, Smoky Eye To Sin City Getaway!

Sometimes, a dark-rimmed eye can steal the thunder away from everyone else. Just take a look at oldest K sister, Kourtney Kardashian!

The proud mom-of-two put on the glitz + glam as she and a bunch of gal pals headed to Las Vegas for the Labor Day holiday weekend.

We know....Most people would be distracted by Kourtney's great 'kleavage,', but we are dazzled by her sexy, smoky eye! She really looks like sis Kim in this photo.

The makeup magic is all in the dark-rimmed cat eye. She looks gorgeous!

To get that sexy smoky Kourtney eye, you will need 2 makeup essentials:

1. . Liquid eyeliner. This is a must! It creates a neater, sharper look than a pencil. But it's not easy lining eyes and then flicking the liner up at the outside edge of your eyes. It takes some practice. Too make the drawing on a little easier, look for a liquid liner that comes in felt tip form, like Wet n Wild's H2O Proof Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner in Ultra Black ($3.99, at Walgreens). This one stays put and glides along your eyelid smoothly.









2. Mascara. In black, of course. Any brand will do.

Diane Kruger's Favorite High End Foundation

German beauty Diane Kruger has a gorgeous complexion, as you can see from the photos.

The actress is a Chanel spokeswoman, so she adores their products. And we can see why.

The brand is well-respected globally.

To achieve a flawless, natural face, Diane chooses Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Skin Perfecting Makeup ($45, at Chanel.com). It comes in 10 shades.

Diane's complexion looks so luminous + dewy. The magic is in the soft, water-like texture of this special fluid formula.


Diane swears by the Vitalumiere:

"My skin drinks this up! It's ultralight yet gives enough coverage to even out my skin tone," she tells InStyle magazine.

No matter how flawless your skin appears to be....you STILL NEED foundation. Makeup artists will tell you that foundation is protective, balance's skin tone, adds a smooth texture, and a glow to the complexion. It also hides little imperfections like dark circles, break-outs

and more.

Forty-five bucks isn't cheap for a small bottle of foundation, but it lasts a LONG time. And this one by Chanel is a winner.
