Lady Gaga Halloween Makeup

Lady Gaga is expected to be a popular Halloween costume for 2009. Here's how to get Lady Gaga's makeup and hair:
  • 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 have a classic round face if the width of your face at your cheekbones is roughly the same distance as the length of your face. The difference between a round face and a square face (which also measures the same across as long) lies in the angles. Square faces have strong, angular features, whereas a round face has soft features.

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

You are in great company including Fergie, Kate Bosworth, Oprah Winfrey, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

2010 Grammys Red Carpet

After all that we have just seen, I realize that this is the most boring hairstyle on earth. In fact, it's so boring, I had this cut for 10 minutes a year ago and couldn't wait to either a) grow it out or b) cut it all off. I cut it all off and now I don't want to grow out my hair because I'm afraid of looking boring like Carrie Underwood. But her makeup's cool.

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

This red hair color on Emma Stone is so beloved, hairstylists in Hollywood report to Allure Magazine that women are bringing in this picture so they can have this exact gorgeous shade of red.

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."

A Great Tip for the Bath or Shower

If you want to give your skin a treat, slather organic extra virgin coconut oil after a baths. To keep the oils from ruining bedsheets and clothes, either apply the oil after the towel, massage in and then rub off the excess or while you are in the shower, after you cleanse, rub the oils on the body and then rinse off. The oil soaks into skin, trapping moisture but the water washes away the excess leaving skin dewy and baby soft.

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.

2010 Grammys Red Carpet

When I squint my eyes and stare at this picture for a long time, I can sorta see why Britney Spears when trying on this outfit thought it was cool. It's sort of sedate and parts of it are really classy (especially for a swimming pool) and who can blame the girl for wanting to show off her body after years of "Britney's So Very, Very Fat" headlines?

I do like her dark hair. See, I can be nice.

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.
