Has Heidi Montag Lost Her Mind?

Posted by The Girls at BSW on 16th March 2010

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Frank Ryan recently performed 10 procedures on Heidi Montag, ranging from breast implants, to a brow lift, to fat injections in her cheeks. Talk about carving out the best years of her life.

Now he tells BSW he won’t operate on The Hills star, 23, again.

“There’s really nothing to do!” he told BSW last Tuesday at the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lights Camera Fashion Pre-Oscar Party. “I told Heidi that, ‘What are you going to do? You’re done!” Finally a plastic surgeon who knows when enough is enough.

Montag recently said she didn’t get her DDD breasts “as big as I originally wanted!” Has she looked at herself in the mirror lately? If they were any bigger she would fall over!

Her first order of business since her new look was to fire her husband. The plastic blonde bombshell gave Spencer Pratt the boot, and instead has opted for a manager with a little more foresight. You guessed it, Aiden Chase, a psychic and telepathic guru will now be making all of her business decisions.

Heidi Montag's New look

It’s a shame she didn’t hire Chase before her plastic surgery, and can only hope his “intuition” would have given her advice that made her wake up from whatever bad dream she was having.

Hair was up and away from the face on many celebrities at this years Oscars, but the makeup was a different story. Rachel McAdam’s decided to go for pastel smoky eyes, and compliment the cool colors of her gown. Not so easy to tell from this photo, but from the red carpet they were gorgeous.

Get Jennifer Aniston’s Red Carpet Look

Posted by Ingrid on 15th March 2010

Most of the time Jennifer Aniston’s makeup is simple and chic with a golden glow that needs nothing more than a little lip gloss and eyeliner, but at the London premiere of The Bounty Hunter, she turned up her red carpet look a notch with a soft shimmery shadow.

To get Jen’s new look, celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender suggests rimming your eyes with a black waterproof liner first, and then topping it with a grayish-silver shadow. This will give you color without covering the entire eyelid for a lush, and unfussed effect. Finish with 2 coats of your favorite lengthening, and thickening mascara in black, and off you go.

Kate Gosselin’s Hair Off-Hair On

Posted by The Girls at BSW on 15th March 2010

A week in the life of reality show celebrity Kate Gosselin……

Earlier in the week Kate Gosselin took out her $7,000 extensions, showing off a new bob with lush, side-swept bangs on Wednesday in New York City, but on Saturday Days after sporting a bob with side-swept bangs, the reality mother of eight, put her extensions back in while speaking Saturday at the Women’s Expo in South Bend, Ind.

Earlier this week, her hair stylist Ted Gibson said that the 34-year-old mother of eight was switching up her ‘do in preparation for her Dancing With the Stars debut on March 22.

Kate Gosslin

“We’re taking them out and we’re not putting them back in until Thursday, so she’ll have short hair for a day,” he told BSW, adding that he planned on using “three different shades of blonde, a caramel, a beige blond and a little bit of a lighter blonde.” All that sounds just great, but 7,000 for hair extensions that don’t even look like real hair?! She may be a celebrity, but she definitely needs to learn a thing or two about hair extensions.

Since she began Dancing With the Stars rehearsals, her children have not been thrilled by their mama’s absence. With five nannies tending to the kids they are still wondering “When is Mommy coming home?’” an insider tells BSW.

Kate Gosselin's newest hairstyle

Although Gosselin insists her children are “happy and thriving and we’re working together while we figure out the new normal. While they’re in school I’m working hard as a mom, and a working and traveling mom. Balancing both. It’s very difficult.”

Before leaving the event on Saturday she asked attendees to vote for her on Dancing With the Stars, which kicks off next Monday. “I’m dancing everyday,” she said. “It is so out of the ordinary for me. I am counting on your votes, by the way. I don’t even care if I dance horribly. I need them. I need all the help I can get!

Stay tuned–for the fun never ends

Backstage Beauty: Chloe Gets Sexier For Fall

Posted by Ingrid on 12th March 2010

Last season, the models raved about the loose waves and natural makeup at Chloe, calling it one of their favorite looks to wear down the runway. So naturally we were expecting this season’s collection to have a beauty look that was similar.

But we were in for a surprise with makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury who created the look, and in her words said, “it was more of a look this season.” “It’s still the Chloe girl, but we wanted them to feel sexy. It’s natural but with a little bit more direction.”

Chloe Beauty look

In other words, a smoky eye with a wash of gray over the eyelids, some bronzer on the cheeks, and a sheer caramel color on the lips. For the hair, hairstylist Guido did “sexy, gorgeous, bouncy Chloe hair” by raking a blow-dry cream through damp hair and then blowing the hair dry over a round brush.

Amy Winehouse Shows Off Her New Look

Posted by Lars on 12th March 2010

Ms. Winehouse pictured here out and about in London, was looking quite lovely compared to the usual emaciated look she so often has been seen in. Along with her new and improved complexion, were her signature Cat Eyes courtesy of Beth Bender Beauty’s Get in Line Eyeliner Kit. She was even seen purchasing a large bag full of vitamins and healthy food which seems to be working for her new and improved skin.

What’s the sudden change? We think it might be that Amy is preparing for her upcoming nuptials to her ex-husband, Blake Fielder Civil. And why shouldn’t Winehouse want to be beautiful on her wedding day.

The singer, 26, is often seen in scruffy ballet shoes and jeans which has brought her regular mentions on the worst dressed lists. But there’s no doubting her street-smart reputation and cultural impact, and one label has been ubiquitous in her wardrobe: British sportswear designer Fred Perry. Now, she has teamed with the firm, which is known for its Mod-style clean looks, to create a 17 piece clothing and accessories collection.

Winehouse and her fiancé have both been in and out of rehab, and have had a torrid on-and-off again relationship since they eloped in Miami in 2007, but still we wish her all the best on her upcoming nuptials, and her new clothing line for Fred Perry.

Jennifer Aniston Is Better Than Ever At 41!

Posted by The Girls at BSW on 12th March 2010

40 is definitely the new 20! Just look at Jennifer Aniston if you don’t believe us. The beautiful actress just turned 41, and boy does she look amazing!  Seen here on the cover of this month’s issue of “W” magazine. She joins her co-star Gerard Butler, in the upcoming comedy “The Bounty Hunter.”

Jennifer Aniston & Gerard Butler

The two are rumored to be dating, and were spotted cuddling at The Golden Globes, but we have learned not to read into that too much since we know for a fact the Gerard is quite the ladies man. Jen attributes her rock solid body to yoga which she has been doing for quite sometime. We only hope her golden glow is from a bottle, and not from baking in the sun.

Photographer Steven Klein, who also shot Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s blissful photo spread right after the Aniston-Pitt split, also shot the photos of Aniston and Butler. Hmm….coincidence?

Backstage Beauty: Giambattista Valli’s Nod to the ’60s

Posted by Ingrid on 11th March 2010

All we can say is we just l-o-v-e-d this look! From the dreamy cat eyes, to the ever-s0-sexy do, and sheer pale pink dress. The inspiration behind this fabulous look was ’60s-era Jean Shrimpton, who woke up after a late night of partying, makeup slept in from the night before, and hair casually twisted up before running out to get a cup of coffee? And thus, this disheveled updo and exaggerated eye makeup came alive at the Giambattista Valli show.

Sexy Retro Cat Eyes

Makeup artist Val Garland created the look but added more to the eyes for a more modern feel. “Giambattista wanted a little Jean Shrimpton on the eyes, but in a modern way, so we’re pushing it more,” said Garland backstage. “The look is flirtatious and sexy.” You can say that again.

To create the pointy winged liner that stretched out to the temples, Garland painted on the triangular shape using a brown cream liner, then outlined it with black cream liner so the edges were sharp. About an inch below the eyes, she drew a thin line of white cream liner that carried out to the temples, and then stacked two false lash strips on top of one another, and glued them to the top lashes for a super sexy effect. With all this action around the eyes, she took it easy on the rest of the face, sculpting the cheeks with beige and caramel blushes and swiping M.A.C. Lipstick in Siss, a matte beige, on the mouths.

“The hair is meant to look as though it was just pulled together in a minute,” said hairstylist Orlando Pita of the loose chignon. Of course, in reality it took a bit longer than that. Pita curled the hair with an iron, then teased it and parted it on the side. He pinned the hair back into a messy low bun, leaving a number of tendrils falling loose around the face. “At this show, the clothes and makeup are so perfect and impeccable,” he said. “So it’s a nice balance when the hair is a little off and undone.”

We couldn’t agree more. To create the Cat Eyes seen here, try a Cat Eye Stencil which will create the look simply by placing over the eye, and filling in with color. Try the Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit, $36 (bethbenderbeauty.com)

Get Elizabeth Banks Red Carpet Eyes

Posted by Lars on 9th March 2010

At the 2010 Academy Awards, Elizabeth Banks accentuated her icy gray Versace gown with eye shadows in the same hues. To get this smoky eye look , her inner eye lids were lined with a metallic gray color that was sexy and sparkly for the red carpet, without being too heavy.

Elizabeth Banks spring smoky eyes

Using a medium sized eyeshadow brush, a rich berry shimmer shadow was applied under the bottom lashes, and up into the crease, (try Good Girl, Gone Bad Eyeshadow palette, $36). To highlight the brow area, a matte ivory shadow was applied along the brow bone.

To finish the look, Elizabeth’s brows were defined by filling in the sparse area’s, and removing any stray hairs outside the actual shape. “Creating a strong and sculpted brow is a must when doing a look like this,” says celebrity artist Beth Bender.

Keep the lips on the lighter side with a nude or pale pink hue. Try Chasing the Cash (nude-beige shimmer) Perfect Pout Gloss, $16 bethbenderbeauty.com.
