Givenchy has come out with an incredible new mascara, Givenchy Phenomen’ Eyes Mascara, which has a unique brush. Christina Ricci’s makeup artist, Vanessa Scali tells InStyle magazine she’s been using the new mascara on Christina because the unusual brush lets you get in between every lash for extra definition. She also says she adds a liquid black liner to Christina’s top lid for a “cat eye” look.

You seem to have fun with hair and makeup. When did that start?
I’ve aways been a girlie girl. I used to sit at my mom’s vanity and play with her perfume and lipstick. I’ve had a love affair with makeup since Day1.

Your new fragrance, Inspire, is due out this month. Tell us about it.
I wanted to put my own flavor into it so it’s all about radiating sex appeal but still feeling comfortable in your own skin. The combination of tuberose, freesia and gardenia definitely has a musky, provocative vibe.

Do you think women should wear perfume every day?
Absolutely! Pregnancy made my nose very sensitive to different smells - especially the way other people smell. And you never know when you’ll be in a room with someone who has a nose like that, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

How else has mothrehood affected your beauty routine?
Maybe mothers have less time to do specific regimens, but they have this glow about them because they’re so happy on the inside. My little guy [Max, 7 months] lights up my whole world.

What about the odd beauty indulgence?
I’m not really big on crazy expensive treatments; I like to go pretty basic and take care of my skin.

How would you describe your look?
With every record I put out, I make a drastic change. I like to try new things and not take myself too seriously.

Eva Longoria showed of a shorter, new haircut - but her rep says she’s cut it for reasons you may not think. According to her personal rep, Eva is reflecting a change in her on-screen character Gabrielle — who goes from her usual sex kitten to an over-worked housewife with kids in season five.

“She’s making herself look like that as her character has let herself go. Gabrielle has gained weight and cut her hair,” Liza Anderson tells PEOPLE of Longoria Parker’s character.

I’m not buying this - don’t actresses wear wigs?

Last season’s ending of Desperate Housewives was one of the best season endings ever, but I didn’t expect them to pick up where they left off.

The beautiful Rihanna is on the cover of August’s issues of InStyle magazine in a white Bill Blass blouse.

On Her Hair:
“The first time I heard people were asking for the Rihanna, it was really flattering and maybe a little strange. It caught be by surprise, but now I feel it’s a very cool thing. I don’t feel the pressure to change it up again at all. I like it, as they like it.”

On Her Future:
“…In 10 years I want to have already started my family and have some business of my own. A fashion line, a makeup line, and I still want to be doing what I’m doing at a much bigger capacity—by the grace of God!”

On Her Style:
“I love to play to both sides of my personality – the girlie and the tough. That’s what makes my style different. … (Growing up in Barbados), I wore my brother’s clothes, dresses with sneakers, or no shoes at all. I would always get into trouble with my mom. She would say things to scare me like, ‘You’re going to get cut!’ But I couldn’t help it. I would climb trees, steal mangoes, catch birds—silly things that were fun to us at the time.”

On Her Tattoos:
“I got this in Miami. It’s by a great artist.” - Skull on her ankle
“When I was on tour in Melbourne Australia,, two years ago, I had these done on my foot.” - Music notes on the front of her foot
“I got this one in the village in NYC. I love to stop by parlors there.” - Star in her ear
“I got this one in LA it’s by an artist I’ve used before.” - LOVE on her middle finger
“This was done by a famous Brazilian artist who books three years in advance. Luckily for me, he was in Tokyo when I was!” - Pisces symbol behind her ear
“The stars on the back of my neck I started in LA, but my guy in NYC finished them. I added another group below the first on so they join up.” - Stars on her back
