Kourtney Kardashian Goes For The Sexy, Smoky Eye To Sin City Getaway!

Sometimes, a dark-rimmed eye can steal the thunder away from everyone else. Just take a look at oldest K sister, Kourtney Kardashian!

The proud mom-of-two put on the glitz + glam as she and a bunch of gal pals headed to Las Vegas for the Labor Day holiday weekend.

We know....Most people would be distracted by Kourtney's great 'kleavage,', but we are dazzled by her sexy, smoky eye! She really looks like sis Kim in this photo.

The makeup magic is all in the dark-rimmed cat eye. She looks gorgeous!

To get that sexy smoky Kourtney eye, you will need 2 makeup essentials:

1. . Liquid eyeliner. This is a must! It creates a neater, sharper look than a pencil. But it's not easy lining eyes and then flicking the liner up at the outside edge of your eyes. It takes some practice. Too make the drawing on a little easier, look for a liquid liner that comes in felt tip form, like Wet n Wild's H2O Proof Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner in Ultra Black ($3.99, at Walgreens). This one stays put and glides along your eyelid smoothly.









2. Mascara. In black, of course. Any brand will do.

Diane Kruger's Favorite High End Foundation

German beauty Diane Kruger has a gorgeous complexion, as you can see from the photos.

The actress is a Chanel spokeswoman, so she adores their products. And we can see why.

The brand is well-respected globally.

To achieve a flawless, natural face, Diane chooses Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Skin Perfecting Makeup ($45, at Chanel.com). It comes in 10 shades.

Diane's complexion looks so luminous + dewy. The magic is in the soft, water-like texture of this special fluid formula.


Diane swears by the Vitalumiere:

"My skin drinks this up! It's ultralight yet gives enough coverage to even out my skin tone," she tells InStyle magazine.

No matter how flawless your skin appears to be....you STILL NEED foundation. Makeup artists will tell you that foundation is protective, balance's skin tone, adds a smooth texture, and a glow to the complexion. It also hides little imperfections like dark circles, break-outs
and more.

Forty-five bucks isn't cheap for a small bottle of foundation, but it lasts a LONG time. And this one by Chanel is a winner.

Eva, Kim K + Kerry Have Done Copper Highlights: Michelle Obama Got Them, Too!

It isn't easy trying to HIGHLIGHT brunette or black hair, because it's a challenge to make it look subtle, or like it belongs there.

But, having said that, lots of celebrities have copper or honey highlights blended into their locks for added style, softness + definition.

Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian and Kerry Washington are just 3 glam ladies who LOVE playing around with sun-kissed highlights. And now First Lady Michelle Obama has joined the popular trend.













Check out Mrs. Obama at a film screening in Washington, D.C. yesterday. FLOTUS is rockin' some copper strands:

What do you think?

We give Michelle Obama's new, sun-kissed highlights the thumbs up!

The highlights are stylish, soft + playful.

The ONLY problem with highlights on a dark-haired gal--they can turn BRASSY. Trust us...we've been there.

Other than that.....Good products are key.

Add this to your shampoo---Ardell Perfector 777 Plus Packette ($1.50 for each packet, at gotbeauty.com).

"Add to shampoo to reduce damage and brassy tones from sun, wind and chlorine."

Sandra Bullock And Roselyn Sanchez: Separated At Birth?!


We're sure this has been talked about before......But don't actresses Sandra Bullock + Roselyn Sanchez look a lot alike these days?!

There's Sandra with hunky George Clooney at the Venice Film Festival.

She's 49! OMG!!

And there's a pic of 40-year-old Roselyn on the beach with her beautiful doggies.

The older Sandra becomes, the more she resembles Roselyn.
So.....what's going on?

We would suspect--excellent dermatologists for both gorgeous ladies.

Oh, please....This is the land of Hollywood.

Sandra Bullock's face has appeared much fuller with higher cheekbones in the past year or so. And with that added volume, the Academy-award winning star has been able to look more youthful and, well, start morphing into the 'Devious Maids' star Roselyn Sanchez.

Roselyn, too, has been speculated to be using a lot of cosmetic filler to further plump up her amazing, high cheekbones.

The best cosmetic fillers for super volume in the face, include Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane:

"Restylane® and Perlane® are cosmetic fillers that are injected into areas of decreased volume that show up in your face over time due to aging, smoking and the effects of gravity and sun. These fillers are hydrophilic and the purpose is to add volume, thus diminishing or almost completely eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. These techniques are also used in conjunction with plastic facial surgery. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and provides volume and fullness in the skin."--plastic surgery website.

Whatever both women are doing to stay forever young ...we applaud them. We think they look great, and certainly, NOT overdone.

Heidi and Mel B Try To Get The Tired Out With Eye Pads

Well, if eye gel pads are good enough for 2 of television's prettiest judges, then maybe these will work for all of us!

The gorgeous 'America's Got Talent' duo were fooling around with spa beauty treatments, and decided to show the world how they get the tired out.

Check out their Instagram pic.

Mel B + Heidi still look gorgeous even without makeup.

Gel eye pads work by firming and smoothing the oh-s-o-delicate eye area in a matter of minutes. Even celebrities suffer from over-worked, tired eyes.

We're not sure what name of gel eye pads Mel B + Heidi are wearing here, but we've found a great brand to try:

Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gel Pads ($30). These little gel pads improve circulation, de-puff eyes + firm up skin in just 10 minutes.

Eye gel pads are what we call a quick beauty fix.

Here's what one customer review says about Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gel Pads:

"Try 30 minutes before you land when you have to fly the red-eye
In the morning when your eyes look tired, and/or puffy
At night when you're getting ready to go out
Wish I could afford to use them whenever I want."

Miley Cyrus Cavorts Desperately On Stage But At Least Her Brows Look Great

What can we say. We are not here to judge. Let's put it this way:

Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance at the 2013 VMAs will NOT soon be forgotten.

Now as an artist, that can be good-----or that can be bad. Not sure how this will all work out for the very young star.

Do we blame Robin Thicke, who should know better?

He's so darn sexy, we have trouble scolding him for anything....

But there was a bright spot for 20-year-old Miley.

We thought her brows looked beautiful. Whoever did the makeup, was spot-on.

Okay....we could do without the tongue shot, but you can see pretty close to perfect eyebrows.

The eyes look very nice with minimal cosmetics except for some gorgeous, long lashes.

And the bold red lip balances the look.

The hair?

Well, the pop star now misses her longer locks, but we think she can rock this silliness just fine at the tender age of 20. She says she's trying grow her hair out.

How to fake thicker brows?

A professional makeup artist would be nice. But you could also try this nifty brow helper:

The TouchBack BrowMarker ($19.95). "Lasts all day, won't rub off. Enhances thin brows. Blends stray grays."





The tip is so ultra-fine, you can actually draw on individual hairs. This lets your faux thick brows look natural--all blended in....Er...blurred lines, so to speak.
