DWTS Judge Julianne Hough: Smoky Purple Eye + Emilio Pucci Dress

You could call her fearless.

When it comes to fashion/beauty, DWTS judge Julianne Hough is NOT afraid to try on anything. And on last evening's show, the glamorous Julianne squeezed into an unforgiving Emilio Pucci dress in a cobalt-purple-ish hue.

She looked gorgeous. But what we really LOVED was her purple-smoky eye! And it all went nicely with her perfectly cool, blond bob!

People magazine was all over the DWTS judge's fashion/beauty risks. And this time it paid off.

The bold cobalt dress was super sexy but in a tasteful way. Julianne provided photos to People and we are showing them, too, because she stole the show last night.

Julianne has such a fit, stunning dancer's body, so she is NOT timid about featuring her best assets, even as she sits as a non-dancer at the DWTS judges' table.

And Julianne appears to adore purple eye shadow. Here she is showing off her purple smoky eye before the show last evening. Plus--here's another pic of Julianne wearing purple eye shadow again back in 2009.

We think the purple shadow is very pretty with her blue eyes.

Try this one by Clinique, called Purple Pumps

Berry Lips And Elegant Buns Equal Fall Beauty 2014

No...You DON'T have to wear bold, red lips to feel fashion/beauty forward.

This Fall 2104, just add a swipe of berry lipstick and fasten on a sophisticated bun and you'll be killing it!

The popular, berry shade applied at the some of the TOP runway shows at NY Fashion Week, included MAC cosmetic's BOYSENBERRY lip color.

Allure magazine says that the lipstick was put on and dabbed away with a tissue to leave a berry stain, as you can see on the Carolina Herrera model.

It's a violet-pink(y) shade that looks so feminine + pretty.

Here in a photo from MAC's website, Boysenberry looks a bit more purple-like. It's part of MAC's stand out lip shades for Fall 2014.

Selena Gomez is known for her beautiful hair buns, and here she is, right on trend at a recent movie premiere wearing the elegant style of the moment:

A bun like this one, adds instant glamour!

We are ALL thumbs, so you're on your own putting this hair up.

So pretty!

Think RED, Ladies: Powerful And Sexy Color As JLo + Reese Sizzle!

We've talked about the color RED before. And after seeing Jennifer Lopez + Reese Witherspoon burning up the carpet in this HOT  shade, we think there REALLY is magic in this color.

Take a look. There are JLo and Reese on Friday  at the 6th Annual Power of Women luncheon held in Beverly Hills:

Both stars look RED HOT in their pretty dresses. A gorgeous color to wear right now during AUTUMN.

What's so powerful about the color red for women??!!

According to a number of experiments on college students, psychologists learned that red has a strong influence on sexual attraction. In other words, the shade acts as a 'primal mating signal.' Oh my!

When men were shown photos of women wearing red shirts or photos of women with red backgrounds, men went gaga! And they were even more than happy to spend more $$$$ on the women.

The study showed that the men were not aware of the effect that red had on them, and they did not rate these women as more kind, intelligent, or likable. But somehow or another, the men just knew they were in hot, sizzling red.

Zooey Deschanel Ditches Signature Bangs For New Center Part Style: Good Or Bad?

Change is good.

We've all heard that one before.

But how about this one:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it..

When it comes to hair + makeup, well, mixin' it up is usually a plus. Vogue Editor Anna Wintour however, still wears the same bangs + bob hairstyle, it seems like forever.

Even Jennifer Aniston finally dumped the Rachel.

And now....Say it ain't so.....TV star Zooey Deschanel has launched a brand new bang-less hairstyle. Or longer bangs, if we want to be precise. A major difference, nonetheless.

Everyone knows and loves Zooey's signature, blunt bangs. But The New Girl has ditched her bangs, at least for the new season.

We almost didn't recognize Zooey at first, but she's STILL pretty adorkable with great hair.

We think Zooey's new look resembles Duchess Kate Middleton's glossy, wavy, center-parted locks from November 2012, when she made a salon subtlety herself.

Wow...even similar in color. We think it's a ROYAL hit, Zooey!

Remember the Duchess had sported these longer, center-parted bangs, and the some of public wasn't wild about it. We happened to think it was a nice, change, however. But Kate has since returned to her all, one-length long, signature hairstyle.

Want these Zooey new grown-out, Kate Middleton bangs?

Sultry Shay Mitchell Wows In Fall's Hot Trend: Dark, Bad-Girl Lipstick!

Dark, vampy lipstick is NOT easy to pull off.

Some of us stay far away from these dark wines, burgundies, purples, etc. You've got to be bold to wear it and precise to apply it perfectly.

But---Fall 2014's HOT trend is showing us that vampy lips are back....not that they've ever really disappeared. To prove it, take a peek at Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell steaming up the pages of Flaunt magazine for their Grind issue.

Let's be real---We don't believe that Shay Mitchell could ever take a bad photo, but the actress looks especially glam wearing dark lips + nails.

Love the ensemble from head-to-toe.

Let's examine Shay's makeup here. So glamorous, sophisticated--- and the focus is all on the lips. Oh yeah.....bad-girl lipstick:

To COPY Shay's vampy beauty style pick up a tube of this:

SIREN by NYX ($5.99) at ULTA.

So sexy.

Will you vamp it up for Fall 2014 by going to the dark side?

How To Get A Spectacular Navy, Smoky Eye Like Keira Knightley

Let's be honest.....Some women are blessed with incredible bone structure, hence....English beauty Keira Knightly.

The actress never ceases to amaze---either through fashion or beauty.

Today, we are observing the navy, smoky eye that Keira does so well!

The Chanel face + muse always stuns on the red carpet. Here is one of our favorite looks she appeared as back in January of this year. The 29-year-old model/actress wore a lovely navy blue, Chanel gown.

And Keira's dark brown peepers took center stage in a navy smoky eye with black liner. She finished the glamorous look with a pink-y nude lip.

Well.....she looks spectacular!

To attain this smoky beauty, you will need:

1. a tube of blackest mascara
2. an eyeliner in blackest black
3. a navy eyeshadow.

We like Chanel's Ombres Contraste Duo 30 Bleu – Tendre Eyeshadow ($42) at Nordstrom's.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to have naturally full, killer brows like Keira's.

If you are shy about a bold shadow like navy, then just apply the shadow across the lid. Keep it neat + conservative. Then rim eyes in black liner + brush on a couple of coats of blackest mascara.

This makes for a fab evening look!

Check out Keira Knightley in her new movie, The Imitation Game, which opened the BFI London Film Festival last night.
