Lily Collins' Bushy Brows Are A Beauty Plus!

Lily Collins is a delicate, pretty actress, except for her bold, thick brows.

But her eyebrows are so attractive, people fall in LOVE with them. And we must agree, not since a very young Brooke Shields, have we seen brows get so much attention.

And let's be honest, Lily's brows are SPECTACULAR! She recently told Chelsea Handler that her brows even have their own twitter account. Check it out here.

If you're looking to grow brows like Lily's, well, you're out of luck. A dose of DNA determines how thick your brows will be.

Of course, plucking or waxing too much can damage the follicles. This obsession will really ruin your eyebrows and further thin them out. so----DON'T mess with your brows too much.

The 24-year-old star once told Glamour magazine that she's accepted her signature look: "

"Big brows weren't the look in L.A., where I grew up. But my mom instilled in me that it's the quirky things that make you beautiful."

Always listen to your mama, Lily, because she's right!

If you aren't blessed with bold, thick brows, you can pencil or powder them. A lot of women do, so it's not a bad thing to do. It just takes some practice to make the brows look natural.

Brow expert, Anastasia has a cool gel you can try for great-looking brows, too:

Women Like Choice----Especially All The Hair Trends For Fall 2013

Hey, ladies....please don't complain... There are LOTS of ways to wear your hair for Fall 2013. And we're just showing you a handful.

We've been seeing the ponytail all over the place...and some of you aren't even aware how fashionable the simple style is.

For fall 2013, try the LOW pony. You don't have to wear it this severely. Just keep it down by the nape of your neck. So sleek + classic!
At Bottega Veneta, it was all about the volume + mass. Here, you can see the model has some major mane by the jaw. The style was purposely left straight at the top 3 inches and then pin-curled for the volume.

How about trying  the side faux bang. At Reem Acra, the models worked the catwalk with long strands sweeping across the forehead.

And then again, there is ALWAYS the wet look, girls.

We're on the fence about this one. But, the wet look lets you forget about a bad fly-away hair day.

There it is below at the Robert Cavalli show.

She could work that huge hair like no other...and many women have tried to imitate her exotic beauty for years + years now.

An Oil That Balances Oily Skin? Olivia Munn Says It Works!

'The Newsroom' actress Olivia Munn is so gorgeous.



You wouldn't think this young celebrity had ANY issues like large pores + a shiny complexion.

But she does. And the star uses an oil to get rid of her oily skin. Sounds too bizarre to work, but it REALLY does. So, let's examine it a step further.

Makeup artists Christopher Naselli and Katey Denno have used an amazing, natural product on Olivia---

Dr. Hauschka Normalizing Day Oil ($33.60, at amazon.com).

How does it work:

With these ingredients:
Hauschka Skin Care Normalizing Day Oil is prepared using apricot oil, sweet almond oil, peanut oil, carrot root extracts, wheat germ oil and jojoba oil along with other ingredients.


 
Sometimes, an oil CAN combat the greasies and this one succeeds by controlling the sebum production of your skin and by refining the open pores. It also improves the skin's elasticity by
softening the appearance of hypo and hyper pigmentation..

This sounds like a great product to try for the greasies, especially during these hot summer days.
