Tip #1
Run foundation around your mouth so lipstick doesn’t look so severe, and sweep shadow over eyeliner to blur the edges.

Tip #2
I apply lip stain before lipstick. It helps you avoid that super pale look your lips get when the color wears off.

Tip #3
Rim the inside of your lips with beige liner to make your eyes look bigger

Celebs Are Loving Center Parts

Stars like Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian and countless others are wearing their hair with a center part. A center part elongates your face, giving you a thinner look. To find your perfect center hold a comb directly over your face vertically starting at the tip of your nose and following up to the center of you forehead. Drag the comb gently through your hair to separate into a part.

To avoid having your hair just “hang” use a 1″ – 2″ barrel curling iron and curl some of the pieces very loosely around your face.

How RHOA NeNe Leakes Lost 10 Lbs In Two Weeks

resized_NeNe_Leakes_weight_loss_Atlanta_Housewives

RHOA (Real Housewive’s of Atlanta) NeNe Leakes is featured in Ok! Magazine sharing how she lost 10 pounds in two weeks. NeNe has struggled with her weight on the hit show where she’s often seen working out, or rather trying to keep up with friend Lisa Hartwell. While she doesn’t explain why she decided to get fit, NeNe has said in the past she’s big and proud, and that she’d rather eat than starve herself.

At 6′ tall it’s a struggle for NeNe to hold a petite size, she says she’s proud to now fit into a size 10, which is a normal size for someone her height and weight.

NeNe worked with Tammy Stokes to get in shape by cutting back on carbs, alcohol and portions in general. NeNe doesn’t say how often she works out but she likes to hit the treadmill and she’s a runner, not a walker. Her trainer also has her doing strength training with lunges, squats and bicep curls.

The most important thing NeNe has changed about her diet is to eat breakfast, for which her trainer encouraged her to do. She said, “NeNe, you have to bite into something in the morning to get your metabolism going.”

Great tips!

Here is a pic of NeNe from the first season of RHOA

Gwen Stefani attended the 26th Annual Night of Stars Hosted by Fashion Group International in New York and showed off her new look – longer hair! Gwen has always been seen with chin length or just touching the shoulders length hair. I wonder if this look was just for the evening or if she’s trying to grow her hair out – either way it looks gorgeous on her!

Celebrity Secret To Healthy Shiny Hair- Moroccan Oil!

Katy Perry Ashlee Simpson-Wentz

Here’s what to do:

Apply a dime sized amount to towel dried hair, starting at the ends and working your way up. Don’t rub in close to your root or it will be too oily, remember that’s newer, healthier hair closer to your head.

Style hair as usual and you’ll notice smoother and SHINIER hair. Do this once a week as long as needed.

Hot Tip - Try This At Home

MoroccanOil.com offers a line of hair products containing Moroccan Oil so that you can get the benefits with Shampoos, Conditioners, Masks, Creams and of course the Oil Treatment. The treatment oil, pictured below, is $39 and available in salons.

How to Get Shiny Hair Like Demi Moore

Demi Moore

Demi Moore certainly prides herself on her long, beautiful shiny hair. In order to get Demi’s lustrous locks you should begin in shower by rinsing your hair with cool water after conditioning. After towel drying apply an antifrizz serum.

Blow dry with a boar bristle brush and a ceramic dryer. Be sure not to point the nozzle up towards the top of your head.

Once hair is dry run a flat iron through small sections from root to top to lock in sheen. Finish with shine spray.
