Celebrity Fashion Styles: Victoria Beckham

admin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:28:19 +0000

Victoria Beckham was seen last night supporting her man David at the England versus Andorra match. This is one of the better styles Mrs Beckham has stepped out in lately. Here we take a look at what makes this style work.

Those oversized sunglasses. It doesn’t matter that the sun isn’t shining. It’s the look stupid..
The tossled hair which though painstakingly done, looks as though she’s just run her hands through to smoothen.
Some might suggest the black see-through top was an error but we think it left just enough to the imagination.
She is never seen without a bag, in this case a black Hermes bag. This goes well with the black top.
To add pattern to her outfit, Victoria wears a cream dirndl miniskirt with horizontal lines. This breaks up the look and adds a bit of colour.
And lest we forget, those ankle breaking heels with tasselled straps.

Anne Hathaway – Style Icon: Get The Look

admin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:01:19 +0000

Anne Hathaway was breathtaking at the 63rd Tony Awards held at the Radio city Music hall in New York. Wearing a red strapless back Oscar de la Renta dress, she complimented it with red satin peep toe pumps. Wanna know how to get that look…

Anne’s look was created by Julie Harris and as Anne is a spokesperson for Magnifique, it isa a no brainer that she’d use some of their products.

For the perfect eyebrows Lancôme Modèle Sourcils in Naturel was used to shape and define Anne’s brows. Next applied was Lancôme Artliner in Noir to her upper lash line. To make Anne’s eyes pop, Julie coated her lashes with Lancôme Hypnôse mascara to give her lashes extra volume and finish the look.

For her hair, distribute a medium-hold mousse on smooth, dry hair to help maintain and support the structure of the style.
Create a deep side part and pull the top section of hair to one side, while you work on the back section.

Twist hair back into a basic French Twist and secure with bobby pins. Pull the front section back, sweeping over the twist and pinning in at the top of the twist, while leaving the ends loose. and finish off with a finishing spray, like Nexxus Maxximum, for a strong hold that will last all night long.

The Eyes Have It – Perfect Eyebrow Tips

admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:17:42 +0000

The eyes have been described as the windows to the soul. Well if the eyes are the windows, the eyebrows are certainly the gateway. Well groomed eyebrows can enhance your appearance and as with most things, it is the little things that can make a lot of difference. Follow these steps to get perfect eyebrows everytime.

Sharp tweezers are a must. You might find it easier to use slanted tweezers if you are a beginner. You will also need an eyebrow brush, eyebrow scissors, brow pencil and eyebrow gel.
Prepare the eyebrows. Moisten the skin around the eyebrows. Soak a cotton ball in water and wipe around the brow area. Better still, pluck them after a shower.
Always follow the natural outline of your eyebrows. Hold your eyebrow pencil vertically from your nostril. This is where your eyebrow should begin. Your brow should begin at your tear duct, which is above your nostril. It should be even with the inside corner of your eye, peak at the outer edge of your iris and end at the outer corner of your eye. Any hair that is visible beyond the pencil should be tweezed.
Next, hold the same eyebrow pencil at a 45 degree slant from your nostril. This is where your eyebrow should end – at the outer edge of your iris.To find the arch, which is the highest point of the brow, place the pencil diagonally where it should hit the middle of the mouth, nostril, and outside edge of the iris. Tweeze gradually the line from the arch to the start of the eyebrow.
Brush the eyebrows upwards and trim. Then brush downwards and trim the remaining long hairs. Be careful when trimming any excess hair above the top of your natural arch. Taking too much off will leave your brow with “bald” spots.
Now get the tweezers and pull out any stray hair. Pull in the direction of growth to avoid breaking the hair mid shaft. Avoid the temptation to over pluck. Look in the mirror to see how you are faring.
Use brow powder closest to your hair colour to give defination to the brow and fill in any patches with small strokes of an eyebrow pencil. Finally apply the eyebrow gel to keep everything in place.

With your eyebrows groomed and powdered, you don’t need extra make up, you will have that natural beauty and feel so much more confident.

Pregnant Heidi Klum powered in at second place with estimated earnings of $16 million. Her earnings have come from her endorsements with brands including Diet Coke and Volkswagen. She also has a successful career in T.V as host of Project Runway and German’s next top model.

In at third is Kate Moss with earnings of $8.5 million. She earned $1 million more than last year despite the economic downturn no doubt helped in part by her range for Topshop.

Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani is recovering after contracting hepatitis. The designer, 74 released a statement to allay concerns over his health after high levels of interest in the last few days.

“There have been several phone calls asking the same questions and expressing the same concerns regarding my health. I have decided to calm these worries in my usual direct and clear style of communication… I have in fact suffered from hepatitis by poisoning, which, certainly is not a rare illness. Nevertheless it is one which requires some time for a complete recovery.

In a bid to assure his fans that his business is unaffected the statement continues: “My commitment both on the creative and management side has never relented. Consequently there has been no shift in delegation of my authorities to any one of the executives and everything in the company is proceeding with the usual energy.”

Armani founded his own men’s ready-to-wear line in 1974 and gained worldwide fame for tailoring Richard Gere in the title role of American Gigolo in 1980.

He is due to show his men’s collections during Milan’s fashion week in June.
