Felicity Jones’s Dolce & Gabbana Lip Service

Felicity Jones’s Dolce & Gabbana Lip Service

Courtesy Dolce & Gabbana Though we’re still scratching our heads over the definition, ‘ aristocratic sauvage girl ,’ we think Felicity Jones’s newly revealed Dolce & Gabbana beauty ads certainly make an impact. In the color-rich ads for the brand’s Khol collection ($20-$59), the up-and-comer looks every inch the Hollywood vet, sporting a perfectly smoky eye and deeply saturated gloss. Check out a behind-the-scenes clip (below), in which the Like Crazy star says the ad marks her first time wearing a full-blown red lip. “[It's] a new direction for me,” she admits. “But with Pat McGrath’s incredible artistry, I’ve tried something slightly different.” We think she looks insanely gorgeous, but want to hear from you

Which Beauty Product Would Nicki Minaj Feel ‘Useless’ Without?

Getty; FilmMagic It’s hard to believe that just three years ago, wig-loving, lyric-spitting, makeup maven Nicki Minaj was afraid of change. “I can’t believe I used to wear the same hairstyle every day of the year,” she tells ELLE  of her toned-down look (left) . “ I was always inspired by people who did wild stuff but didn’t always have the [guts] to do it myself. Now I can’t leave it alone.” Since meeting hairdresser Terrence Davidson, the singer’s hair imagination has known no bounds.

All About Katy Perry’s False Eyelash Line

All About Katy Perry’s False Eyelash Line

Bauer-Griffin; Courtesy Eylure With the number of hair color changes she’s made lately, Katy Perry could practically create her own line of dyes. But the “California Gurl” has different plans: on the tail of her second fragrance release , the singer is launching a line of false lashes, Katy Perry by Eylure. “I have worn Eylure lashes all the way through my tour and really loved them,” Perry says in a statement. “When it came to having a range of my own, I wanted everyone to have a great experience with my lashes. Eylure was really the best choice for me to work with.” According to a release, Perry was quite hands-on in the development of the lashes, as well as the packaging, which features a ’40s-style ice cream parlor logo, in keeping with the sweet theme of her California Dreams tour . The four lash varieties include “Sweetie Pie,” dainty, natural lashes; “Oh, Honey,” a fuller set; “Cool Kitty,” shorter and suitable for daytime; and “Oh, My,” bold, attention-grabbing lashes

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: There’s a ‘Right Eyebrow’ for Every Woman

Antony Jones/UK Press/ABACA If you’re planning to visit with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley anytime soon, be sure to tweeze your brows first. “That’s my pet peeve, bad eyebrows,” the model tells Modelinia.com . “Messy, badly plucked, thin. There’s a right eyebrow for every woman.” Along with well-groomed eyebrows, Huntington-Whiteley likes to make her eyes pop with a bit of brown mascara (“I couldn’t live without it,” she insists) and “luminous cream” on her brow bone, to make her face “look a bit more awake.” But an accessory that really completes her basic beauty look? “Hoop earrings,” she reveals. “They’re always sexy

Maintaining that flawless complexion doesn’t come easy: “Not to brag,” she jokes to  Style.com , “but I have a lot of allergies.” That’s why Stone relies on Aura Cacia’s $14.49 natural grapeseed oil as moisturizer (bottom right). “After the shower, I pat it on, and then I’ll use it throughout the day and at night.

Kristin Chenoweth: I’m a Big ‘Comfort Freak’

Frazer Harrison/Getty Kristin Chenoweth may look majorly glam while performing on Broadway or hosting the American Country Awards , but don’t let that fool you: the petite vocal powerhouse (and voice of Listerine’s new campaign) loves nothing more than dressing down. “When I’m on tour or performing, I’m sucked and plucked and squeezed and teased,” the self-professed “comfort freak” jokes. “So I want to do the opposite of that when I’m just me and living my life.” Though she’s partial to tees by Vince and Splendid, the 4’11″ star admits she’s petite enough to shop at GapKids —and has picked up some tips for dressing a small frame along the way. “Never, never, never wear a high-waisted pant!” she admonishes. “I did try it, and I looked pregnant.” Her list of dos: “Solids are great

Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Gets a 5-Minute Makeunder

Denise Truscello/Getty; Lee Clowe Best known for pin-straight strands and a year-round tan, Jersey Shore ‘s Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola recently bared it all for a “makeunder” courtesy of  xoJane.com . “I’m the slowest in the house to get ready,” Sammi reveals, citing fake hair as a major time suck. “I’ve done the clip-ons, I’ve done the weave where it’s sewn into my head, I’ve done fused, and now I have tape-ins.” So though she usually blow dries her hair (extensions and all), then straightens it and then teases at the crown, she let her natural assets shine for the shoot. ”Sammi has a great natural wave and bend to her hair,” hairstylist Shannon Grey Williams says. “I just tousled it and put a little Aveda Pure Abundance Potion in it to give it lift at the roots, and to give the wave definition.” The rest of the “makeunder,” including highlighter, cheek stain and mascara, took a total of five minutes.

Are You Loving…Colorful Ombré Hair?

Amy Graves/WireImage Ombré hair color has been big for the past couple of years and recently a few brave celebs, including Lauren Conrad , have updated the look by dip-dying their ends an array of bright hues . Sleeping Beauty star Emily Browning put an even edgier spin on the trend when she gave a grayish lavender shade a go. It’s a bold move, but with just a couple of inches dyed, it’s also sort of subtle! The actress is totally gorgeous and we think her wavy bob is perfection, so she might actually pull of this look.

It smells really good and when I wake up, I know my face is going to feel really good.” To juxtapose her alabaster complexion, Seyfried relies on the brand’s darker lipsticks and eye-opening mascaras. “Clé de Peau’s Mascara keeps my eyelashes curled even though they’re really straight,” she gushes.
