Kim Cattrall

As I get older, I love to see those just a bit ahead of me in age still looking and feeling fantastic. They are wonderful role models for growing older disgracefully, with great clothes, great hair and great makeup. There’s no reason why we can’t all be like that if we make the effort. In fact, age can be a great leveler when it comes to beauty. The beauty at 20 may take her looks for granted and not look so good at 50, whereas the average looking 20 year old may take good care of herself and have a […] Read more »

With all the fuss in the media at the moment about Kim Kardashian and her 72 day marriage to NBA star husband, Kris Humphries, it’s time to think of more positive things like makeup and beauty! No matter whether her marriage was a publicity stunt or a relationship gone horribly wrong fast, you have to say, the woman looks good. (And whereas everyone else looks like death when they are breaking up or getting divorced, she will probably look a million dollars through that as well). To give Kim the benefit of the doubt, maybe she already had second thoughts […] Read more »

Here’s a Rihanna makeup tutorial inspired by the “We Found Love” music video. “YES! I got inspired by the look where Rihanna is fighting with Dudley in the car 😉 This look could be used for Halloween easily, you could wing the liner and make it a pin up look or wear some dickies and be a “ghetto latina” with huge hoop earrings on” 🙂   Quote and Makeup Tutorial by StealingBeauty In her “We Found Love” video, Rihanna has a great Latina look with bold eyes and lips, and swept up curls with a bandana.

How to be beautiful in the morning

I just came across an article on the web with the enticing title, “10 Ways To Wake Up Gorgeous”. Even though I manage to make myself presentable after a bit of effort in the morning, waking up gorgeous is not something I do on an average day (or to be honest any day!) so I couldn’t resist a look. There are a few good tips there including 1 Sleep On Your Back Apparently if you sleep on your face you are more prone to getting lines and wrinkles “The average head weighs 7 to 8 pounds—that’s a lot of pressure […] Read more »

Jennifer Aniston Sun Kissed Makeup Tutorial

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston always has a healthy outdoor look like she has been kissed by the Californian sun. Of course, that might very well be the wonderful climate she lives in. On the other hand, the condition of her skin means it’s unlikely she spends too long sun bathing (if any time at all). I doubt you could look that unlined in your forties and maintain an all year round natural tan. Rumor has it (and rumor is almost certainly right) that she achieves that look, with natural looking makeup skillfully applied and that is good news for those of us […] Read more »

Best Tattoo Concealer (Unbelievable Transformation)

How will the best tattoo concealer transform Zombie Boy Rick Genest?

Having dealt with cosmetic concealers for years that really don’t do that much concealing of even minor blemishes, I was bowled over by this video transformation (below) of Zombie Boy Rick Genest with what must be the best tattoo concealer on the planet. Normally, (as you can see in the picture on the right) Rick doesn’t have an inch of his body or face left bare of tattoos, yet this concealer makekup (Dermablend) turns him into an almost regular guy rather than the zombie skeleton figure featured in Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” video. The face piercing and intense look […] Read more »

In the hilarious spoof makeup tutorial video below by Hayley Hoover “How to Look a Disgusting Mess” you can see many of the makeup mistakes that you can spot on girls and women everywhere. These are the ones that make you think, (but hopefully never say), “Did you look in the mirror before you left the house?” Luckily as a rule you don’t see all of these problems on one face at the same time but you must have seen all of them on someone at one time or another.

Demi Moore

While the rest of us get visibly older over the years, celebrities somehow manage to look forever young. They seem to be in their sixties or seventies before crows feet dare to make an appearance and although their publicity shots may be airbrushed, the pictures they don’t control are not and they still look a million dollars. For instance this picture of Demi Moore was shot by photographer Cliff From Cliffordsphotograpy.com when Demi was attending the Huffington Post Pre-Inaugural Party in 2009. She was 46… How do these stars do it? This video at UK celebrity magazine OK gives us […] Read more »

If I had not seen this with my own eyes I would not have believed that makeup artist Tamang Phan could transform herself to look so much like Angelina Jolie. Wow! That is really impressive. Not that all of us should want to look like Angelina Jolie – the world would be really eerie with thousands of Angelinas walking around and poor Brad would not know which way to look LOL Anyway, this may be another chance to change your look for Halloween perhaps? And somewhat prettier than the three looks in the MAC Halloween makeup tutorial. The makeup used […] Read more »

You don’t want to look like a perfect fright either. You still want to look beautiful and emphasize your eyes with your makeup and look just a little bit intimidating for this one special night of the year.
