- Lady Gaga's makeup is mostly in the eyes, cheeks and lips. You'll want a matte face, so apply sheer foundation. Cover up any blemishes with concealer. Lady Gaga's face is naturally tan, so if you have a pale face, apply powder bronzer where the sun naturally hits: the forehead, cheeks and nose.
- Start next on the eyes. Using black liquid eyeliner, apply a dramatic "cat eye." Line the top eyelid from the inside rim to just outside the eye, making the middle of the line thickest. <
- Apply various shades of pink eyeshadows. Start with a highlighter on the eyelid, then apply a shimmery darker shade to the crease of the eye. Finish off the eye with another shade of pink all the way to your brows.
- Apply large, feathery false eyelashes.
- Once eyes are done, apply bright pink blush to the apples of cheeks.
- Powder entire face to set the makeup.
- Fill in lips with bright, bubblegum pink lip liner.
- Apply matching pink lipstick.
- Put on a curly, Marilyn Monroe-esque wig.

Best Homecoming Hairstyles for 2011

School hasn't even started in New York, while it has for other parts of the country, but I just cannot wait. I think it's time we turned our attention to the most highly anticipated formal occasion for most high school girls: Homecoming.
I grew up in Texas, where homecoming was A Very Big Deal because football was A Very Big Deal (seen "Friday Night Lights?"). Homecoming wasn't quite the big deal prom was, but it meant getting dressed up and going to a dance and hopefully having a very cute boy take you to said dance. Someone in the senior class would be crowned homecoming queen right there on the football field (I think there was a homecoming king, too, but we girls were always fixated on being queen). Homecoming was such a big deal in Texas, even colleges had them! I was on the homecoming court my freshman, sophomore and junior years.
So in honor of Homecoming 2011, here are photo galleries of Best Homecoming Hair to inspire you.

How to Tell What Face Shape You Have
You likely have soft, non-angular features and "chubby" cheeks. You may find you have more of a round face when you carry extra weight, but keep in mind many classic round-faced women are super-skinny and still have non-angular features.
Styles That Work Best on a Round Face
Typically, if you have a round face, you want to make your face appear longer and leaner and less round. To do this, create less volume around the face.Try cuts that fall just below the chin like the long bob hairstyle. Soft, graduated layers like the ones found in this shoulder-length hairstyles gallery are a great bet because they make your face appear slimmer and tend to remove bulk and weight from the sides. Consider wispy and tapered ends like Rihanna's bob hairstyle. The wisps de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Bang hairstyles are flattering, but keep them long or side-swept.
Styles to Avoid if You Have a Round Face
Avoid one-length, blunt cuts such as the classic bob hairstyle if you have short hair. Curly, short hair is also a no-no. Grow your curls out to shoulder-length or beyond or flat iron them (see "How to use a flat-iron").Celebs Who Share Your Face Shape

Don't believe everything you hear out there. Just because you're 65, you don't have to immediately sign up for a helmet hairstyle. In fact, a younger look and lighter color can take years off your face.
And just because you're 21, you don't have to have long hair. You can do just about anything. Find out what you can really get away with at age 20, 30, 40 and older.

Best Face Masks for Oily, Dry and Combination Skin

Fall is just around the corner (sigh) which means my skin is going to start to feel the effect of furnaces and dry, cold air. I find using a moisturizing face mask once a week keeps my dry skin hydrated and dewy all through the fall and winter months.
To find the best masks for you, including ones formulated for oily, dry, mature, sensitive and combination skin, see my list of the Best Face Masks.

Famous Redheads
But can everyone go red? Almost everyone can become a redhead, what's most important is finding the right shade of red. If you want to be a redhead, I suggest not trying it on your own. Get a professional consultation. You won't believe the number of emails I get from women writing in unhappy when they tried to go "ginger."
I've included in this photo gallery, many different shades of red. To make sure you're getting the red hair color you want, "Always have two pictures on hand. One that you love and one that you hate," suggests Amy Huson, a colorist at the Marie Robinson salon, in Allure Magazine. "This way the colorist is sure to see—not just hear—what you want. You may see colors and shades totally different, and sometimes words just don't cut it. You can both discuss the right color, and be on the same page."

Is It Time You Became a "Bronde"?

One of the hottest hair colors this year is brunette with blonde, sun-kissed highlights (dubbed "bronde" by celebrity stylist Kim Vo).
To get this look, you want to start with brown hair and ask your colorist to paint on 2 different blondes on the top layers only. Hair painting is called "balyage" and looks more natural than foils. The two colors add dimension and depth to hair.
See a photo gallery of bronde hairstyles on Sarah Jessica Parker, Bar Rafaeli (pictured here), Jennifer Lopez and more.

Rihanna's Hair: $23K a Week?

The Daily Mail reports that Rihanna's management company pays her hairstylist, Ursula Stephen, ?14,000 a week (about $20,000 US) a week to do her hair. Wow. The UK-based paper also reports that Rihanna has changed her hairstyle at least 14 times since November, and Rihanna IS known for her fabulous 'dos (one of my most-clicked on images here is of Rihanna's hairstyle), so perhaps the $$$ is worth it.

The 14 Hottest Nail Trends for Fall

When my best friend's daughter Rosemary (you may remember the article she wrote) spent a couple weeks with me this summer, she taught me a ton about nail trends. Rosemary, like many teens, is really into experimenting with different colors and she stays on top of all the trends.
She taught me about shatter, newsprint manis (perfect for school in the fall), decals and much more. (Thank you Rosemary). And then I did my own research and came up with a total of 14 hot nail trends for fall. You'll see cool sporting tattoos, the wild nails of Lady Gaga, the half moon mani and so much more in this gallery.
I'm not much of a fancy manicure person, but there are a few trends here I would happily adopt, including this adhesive nail tattoos pictured here. What about you? I'm dying to read your comments below.

Top 10 Celebrity Scents
It seems like every celebrity has a scent these days. To help you wade through the famous-people perfumes crowding store shelves, we round-up the celebrity fragrances that actually smell darned good.
1. White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor
No celebrity fragrance list would be complete without this powerhouse perfume from the Elizabeth Taylor Collection. This energetic, feminine scent blends orange top notes with an exotic heart of neroli, tuberose, lily, orris and jasmine, over a warm and mossy base. Sophisticated and stylish, just like the lady who inspired it.
2. Glow Perfume for Women by Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez rocked the perfume world with this scent, the first of 16 she has released to date. The original J-Lo Glow blends bright citrus fruits with sheer florals and soothing vanilla and musk for a massively feminine appeal. Womanly and warm, this is a great scent to wear on a date.
3. Kate Moss Perfume by Kate Moss for Women
Channel some of Kate's vintage cool with her namesake perfume. The supermodel scent is infused with orange blossom, pink pepper, lily of the valley, rose, patchouli, sandalwood and white musk, for an effect that's both ultra-feminine and rock 'n' roll. Layer it with the accompanying body lotion for a longer-lasting scent.
4. Intimately Beckham Perfume for Women by David and Victoria Beckham
This scent from power couple Posh and Becks is as wicked and fresh as they are. Romantic floral notes combine with spicy orange, cinnamon and myrrh over a vanilla and amber base, for a warm and beckoning appeal. Wear it to a romantic dinner, or for cuddling on the couch with someone special.
5. With Love Perfume for Women by Hilary Duff
This surprisingly mature scent from the former Disney Channel teenybopper is a secret favorite of many adult women. Composed of oriental, fruity and vanilla notes, it's a spicy, warm and feminine fragrance that might just find a place of honor on your fragrance shelf.
6. Heat Perfume for Women by Beyonce
A top-seller since its launch in 2010 - and not just because of those too-hot-for-TV ads - this musky floral is a great pick for the woman who likes to make her presence felt. Heady and alluring, the fragrance combines notes of neroli and vanilla orchid to create its trademark, sexy appeal.
7. Lovely Perfume for Women by Sarah Jessica Parker
This elegant scent launched in 2005 currently ranks number four among best-selling celebrity fragrances. Women love its understated elegance, created by its light blend of sheer floral notes - with just a hint of apple martini - over a soft, chypre base. Wear this perfume for a day at the park (Central or otherwise), or to brunch with your best girlfriends.
8. Sensational Perfume by Celine Dion for Women
This dynamic floral fragrance is meant to evoke the confidence and charisma of superstar singer Celine Dion. Fruity top notes blend with a light floral heart, over an elegant wood-and-musk base. Fresh, pretty and very feminine, this is an elegant scent with a timeless feel.
9. Curious Perfume for Women by Britney Spears
Say what you like about B-Spears, the woman has a way with perfume. Curious was a runaway hit in 2005, and is still a best-seller today. Inspired by the fruits and flowers of the singer's home state of Louisiana, this sweet and voluptuous fragrance blends vanilla-infused musk, magnolia, pear and lotus flower, for a warm and womanly appeal.
10. Christina Aguilera Perfume for Women by Christina Aguilera
The singer - and host of the hit show The Voice - hit a high note with her first, eponymous perfume. Like Christina, this signature scent straddles the fine line between pretty and provocative. Its unique blend of blackcurrant tea, jasmine and vanilla, is sexy, confident, and supremely feminine.
