Sarah Hyland Protects + Enhances Beautiful Complexion With Armani Foundation

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland has gorgeous, clear, healthy skin. And it's interesting to note that the pretty TV actress goes high-fashion when it comes to her makeup.

She's a sophisticated gal at the young age of 23. But she's smart, too, because wearing foundation is key to a lovelier, more balanced complexion.

And Sarah Hyland chooses from the BEST----Giorgio Armani Maestro Foundation.


Plus great eyebrows we must add.

The Maestro Foundation isn't cheap, but neither is Armani style. This little bottle will cost you $64.



The fashion legend himself, Mr. Armani is proud of the foundation he has created:

"Makeup that becomes like a mask is good in a (fashion) show, but day to day, it must be there, but it must not be visible," he tells Allure magazine. "The makeup has to help the face show its best aspect and cover the negative.".

Check out Sarah's fave foundation by the master here.

Baby Soap, Biofirm Lift Cream And Great DNA For Iconic Model Naomi Campbell

We don't care what jealous people say about Naomi Campbell's hair, or lack there of. At age 44, this chick has stood and walked the runway test of time.

 Naomi Campbell is a TRUE supermodel.

We were blown away by the recent photo taken of the English beauty last night in New York City at the theatre, featuring Mighty Real: A Fabulous Sylvester Musical.

So, besides having superb DNA, we were curious to learn how this supermodel keeps it together.

According to an article in the January 2014 issue of Harper's Bazaar, the brunette beauty is picky about what she uses on her face + body:

"In the shower I only use baby soap. I don't like too many perfumed shower gels. I use Biofirm Lift cream, and I use eye cream. I moisturize my skin constantly, my whole body, and I use moisture serums for my face these days. I think all the makeup and heavy moisturizers just clog the pores."

We found a jar of Biofirm Lift cream here at Strawberry.net.com for a pricey $75.50.


Too bad our complexion is OILY, because we would invest in this stuff just to see if it has skin renewal promise
.
Naomi appears to treat her amazing body as a temple, too. She's strict about her beverage intake:

"The first thing I do is have hot water with lemon and probiotics. I've never drunk coffee; I don't like the smell. I'm a tea drinker. If I need it I will have one cup of green tea. I'm more into herbal tea.".

Say what you want about her bad behavior and all those rumorsof difficulty, but there is a reason Naomi continues to walk the cat-walk.

She's in great shape. Check her out at NY Fashion Week ,Sept. 25th on YouTube.

Cold, Dry Air Means Time For Eye Cream With Soothing Calendula

Let's be honest. When summertime hits, we all enjoy spending time outdoors. That means extreme heat, sun + damage to our skin, hair, and eyes.

And now that we have just entered autumn, it is essential we try and repair the havoc wreaked upon our faces + bodies.
.
Today, let's talk about our eyes. As we've been screaming on our beauty blog here for a few years now, the skin around the eyes is very delicate to begin with. This orbital region is also thin-skinned with tissue that contains few oil glands. That is why the eye area lacks natural moisture like other parts of the body.

As we get older, collagen breaks down, and thins out the skin around the eyes even more.

So that is really why putting on an eye cream every day + night will help fight fine lines + wrinkles, sagging + puffiness + dark circles.

There are tons of eye creams out there. So it can be quite daunting to pick the right formula. But why not try an organic eye cream containing CALENDULA.

This is a pretty, orange-petaled flower that is often used as a medicinal herb. When formulated into an eye cream, the properties of calendula do wonderful things, like soothe, moisturize and reduce under-eye puffiness.

We found a jar of eye cream containing calendula:

Indie Lee Calednula Eye Balm ($42).


Calendula Eye Balm contains these super natural ingredients:
Calendula Officinalis Flower (calendula) Oil, Beeswax, Magnifera Indica (mango) Seed Butter, Lavandula Angustifolia (lavender) Oil, Squalane (olive derived), Persea gratissima (avocado) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E).
.
Learn how to apply it here on YouTube.

D&G Hair Trend 2015: Sleek, Straight + Simple As First Lady Michelle Debuts New Look

Well, we don't know exactly where First Lady Michelle Obama got her inspiration from, but we do know, we like it!
We're talking about the First lady's new, pin straight, parted down the middle locks she recently debuted at a White House luncheon for the winners of the 2014 National Design Awards.

Mrs. Obama could be channeling the pretty parade of runway models from the Dolce & Gabbana Milan Spring Summer 2015 Fashion Week show.

There we noted sleek, straight, simple hair, parted down the middle, and sometimes fashioned in low buns. It's a classic, chic look, and in this case, seems to enhance D & G's strong Spanish influence for the season. Look at Kendall Jenner modeling the sleek strand trend.


We like this easy look, but that also requires a shiny mane. Yes....glossy hair matters when it's styled pin straight. There is no where to hide imperfections like frizzies + damaged strands.

So, maintain it with this:

Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Conditioner at Walgreen's ($4.99).



Size/Count  2.0 fl oz
Infused with sun-ripened olive oil
Scented by a fresh floral garden
Dull hair is nurtured to shine

Will you been keeping it sleek, straight + simple runway style?

Designers Dumbing Down Runway Models' Brows: But Don't Try This Look At Home!

Poor Cara Delevingne. We all know this great model by her amazing, naturally full brows. And here we go, again!

Designers enjoy bleaching the brows on the runway for a hauntingly, unusual appeal. This time it's been Paris fashion week.

We found this incredible shot on Pinterest of Cara walking for Givenchy's spring 2015 runway show on Sunday.


Looks almost alien-cool. Don't fret.....Cara still retains those famous brows.

Celeb makeup artist Pat McGrath was said to have had all the Givenchy models bleach their eyebrows for the show. NO brows were harmed in this beauty project.

Kendall Jenner also sported the no brow look in the Givenchy runway lineup.


Please don't try this beauty trend at home, although some people LOVE this look.

If you must dip into the bleach, we would suggest using a box  of this well-known, gentle D.I.Y. bleaching kit.
:
Jolen Creme Bleach for Hair ($5.99, at Walgreen's).


Just proceed very carefully. This stuff can REALLY blot out your brows, ladies.

We prefer Cara's darker, full brows. Don't you?

New Bride Amal Looks Like Modern Day Version Of Bianca Jagger Wedding Style

Gotta LOVE the big, white, wide-brimmed hat.

Classic, feminine + elegant.

We think new bride Amal has nailed each fashion change during her whirlwind 4-day Italian wedding weekend.

Today, we are adoring the gorgeous ensemble the new wife of George Clooney has emerged wearing following the couple's 10 minute civil ceremony today at the historic Ca' Loredan building which houses Venice's city hall.

We call this the modern day Bianca Jagger look. Remember her cool, white, big hat and the blazer/skirt combo she wore during her St. Tropez marriage to Mick Jagger?

Bianca was a trailblazer back in 1971. She wore her YSL Le Smoking jacket with a large, wide brim hat complete with a veil. And she was bra-less under the blazer.

Amal chose a chic, cream-colored, wide-legged Stella McCartney pantsuit with navy banding + clutch.


Wow! What a fab-looking couple!

Thinking about walking down the aisle in a civil ceremony a la Amal with a big, white hat and all?

We think it's a glamorous style and one you CAN copy.

On Etsy, we found lots of big, wide-brimmed white hats that are nice for the Kentucky Derby and/or a beautiful wedding.

Would you wear a big hat to make it official?
