Wow! I almost didn’t recognize Katie looking so chic and beautiful. She is becoming quite the chameleon with her style and this is one look I would love to see on her again. As much as I love the look of sexy air-dried hair, this sleek and sophisticated look can be created just as easily.

To get perfectly slicked hair like Katie’s use a fine tooth comb and part the hairline over the iris of one eye to the back of the head. Celebrity Stylist Diana Schmidke suggests combing a mixture of hair gel and shine lotion through damp hair to create a brilliant sheen with medium and ‘not crunchy’ hold. Then pull the hair back into a bun. “You can position the hair high if you’re feeling a little feline or lower if you’re feeling chic and glamorous,” says Schmidtke.

And of course this look would not be complete without sleek and sophisticated eyes to match. Perfect eyeliner is easy and quick when you use the Get in Line Eyeliner and Stencil Kit to create them. Get the look like a pro and get glamorous eyes in minutes.

If you happened to catch Jennifer Hudson singing her heart out at the Super Bowl on Sunday then you definitely saw her absolutely radiant & glowing complexion. Not many Oscar winners can brag about a debut album going gold so fast, but Jennifer Hudson can, and she showed it by sporting a sunkissed look to match. We have been following her career ever since she was on American Idol and are so happy to see how she has grown as a performer, and all of the success that she so deserves.

To get Jennifer’s look make sure to prep the skin with a gold-infused makeup base to smooth fine lines while adding a subtle glimmer to your complexion. We love Guerlain’s L’Or Radiance Concentrate. It cools, hydrates and illuminates the skin all in one step. Finish by applying a loose face shimmer in a bronze tone to the cheeks, bridge of nose, and forehead. It is softer and more sheer than a pressed bronzer and adds just the right amount of color.

1. I really want to win this for my best friend Audrey. Audrey and I work at a department store together. She is the supervisor of the Beauty department. When she 1st started working there, she was just a part time employee. The girl who was the supervisor had no beauty experience and would not even wear make-up to work. I told Audrey to just stay with it and one day she would be the supervisor because she was awesome. Audrey has always love cosmetology. Once the other supervisor quit (as I knew she would) Audrey was given the promotion. Since then, she has taken our little department to the top sales in our region! She has increased sales in some areas by 300%. She always loves to stay up on the latest techniques for skin care and make up application. I love her and she deserves this.

Are you gals wondering why all the Celebs look so amazing when they walk down the magical Red Carpet…  I know I am…

But after sitting down and chatting with Dr. Celia Brown my favorite Skin Renaissance doctor, I now know their secret…

It’s a procedure called Titan.  Infrared heat is used to stimulate your own collagen which then turns your skin from burlap to spandex.  According to Dr. Brown a lot of the celebrities are doing Titan because it’s a great alternative to surgery. With Titan there is no down time, it’s cheaper than a face lift and it tightens the skin. What more can you ask for?  “Like putting bike shorts on your neck and face,” says Dr. Brown.

Below are before and after photos of treatment done on the neck and lower half of the face.  Notice the difference…WOW

Not too long ago there was some talk about Paula Abdul having a face lift because her skin looked so great…wrong…it was several treatments of Titan!

Believe it or not Titan was first used on young women to re-tighten their slightly lose skin due to child birth.  Go, figure…where can I sign up…after all I am the mother of 2!!!
