When Bad Beauty/Style Happens To Nice People

Well, where can we start?

Just a couple of recent photos showing Ivana Trump, the former wife of business mogul Donald Trump, out on the town meeting up with her younger boyfriend.

We are all for the cougar playfulness BUT----the childish blue wig belongs on younger Amanda Bynes (27), NOT on a 64-year-old woman of power and status.

If anyone saw their mother in this, they would be embarrassed. Poor Ivanka Trump, her daughter. Don't even get us started on the black leather jumpsuit and blue feather boa.

Famous makeup artist Sandy Linter says you CAN try all the wacky beauty/style ideas when you're very young:

In your 20's:
Do experiment with color
"Crazy yellow eyeshadow? You can pull it off!" at this age, Sandy told People mag. "Break all the rules."

When you're OVER 40, well, try to stay within the beauty speed limit.

In your 50s + beyond....Sandy has these smart beauty tips :

1. DO Go For The Glow!!! Sandy says that a deeper foundation color and blush "warm up the skin and make you look younger."

2. DO Wear Natural Eye Makeup Sandy advises that you keep eyes fresh-looking with brown eyeliner, instead of black, And don't overdose on the mascara. Don't go more than one or two coats.

3. DON'T Stop Wearing Makeup Sandy says we all could benefit by putting on a little glamour. "A lot of women have it drilled into them, that less is more, but no! You still need makeup, just with a lighter touch."

4. DON'T Powder Your Cheeks Sandy says you don't need to go there, or it can look weird. "It makes you look like you're wearing a mask."

Ashlee Simpson Shows Off Longer Wavy Blonde Locks For Summer

We've always been more of an Ashlee Simpson fan when it comes to the striking Simpson sisters. Don't get us wrong, Jessica is in a league of her own. But we like that Ashlee takes beauty chances.

Look at her chameleon-like hairstyles. She goes from long to short to super-cropped to auburn to black and back, again.

At the moment, the gorgeous star has returned to sexy, longer, wavy blonde locks. There she is at a recent red carpet event for Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Lip Lounge in Hollywood, California.

We LOVE her California blonde image:

Do you take beauty chances like Ashlee Simpson?
