The Undercut: It Ain't Going Out Of Style So Deal With It!

The undercut.

It's probably NOT what you think.

It's a cool punk look that has made it's way to the red carpet more + more.

You still have a FULL head of hair except for a shaved side(s) or baby buzz cut.

This hair trend simply will NOT go away. In fact, here it is on tons of glam celebs:

Well, we think it's sexy. We're not sure we would have ever done it, but it's edgy + modern.

Check out Scarlett Johanssen's new undercut in detail here at the 2015 Academy Awards.

Okay, ladies....Will you be getting an undercut soon?

HOT BeautyTrend Spring 2015: Pretty Purple Eyeshadow

Purple Eyeshadow.

So pretty when not too over-powering. A simple slick on the lid, and you're good to go.

This is a HOT beauty trend for Spring 2015. And even though there might be high walls of snow surrounding your area at the moment, don't worry, we will get through it. March 1st arrives on Sunday, so we are on our way to better days.

We think purple shadow is pretty on every eye color. It was looking right on the runways at Guy Laroche + Derek Lam:

The key here is NOT to make your purple too bold. A lilac or lavender shade will work nicely, too.

We found a good one at LESS than $5.

Check out Maybelline ExpertWear Eye Shadow in Lasting Lilac ($4.50).

Will you be on the purple eyshadow trend this Spring 2015?

Katy Perry + Scarlett Johanssen are just 2 celebs who look stunning in purple eyeshadow.

New, Sexy Bond Girl Monica Bellucci At 50: Even Older Than Daniel Craig

Okay..We have a girl crush on Monica Bellucci. And who wouldn't?

The Italian actress has been named as the new Bond girl to play alongside Daniel Craig in the upcoming 007 movie "Spectre.".

The really cool thing about all of this is Monica Bellucci's age. She is gorgeous at 50. And she is even older than Mr. Bond himself at 46.

Love it! By the way, she's the OLDEST Bond gal in history. Not too shabby.

So...what are Monica's makeup tips?

Well, we know that she was the face of Dolce & Gabbana for a while. The designers even have a lipstick collection inspired by the Italian beauty (see below).

"I always wear lipstick. I would not feel fully dressed without it," Monica says. And when it comes to RED lipstick, the sexy actress reveals how to keep it looking fresh all day:

 "I love to intensify the color when I apply red lipstick so that the pigment is really striking and beautiful. I usually apply a really light coat of pressed powder between coats – it really helps the color lay properly so it doesn’t slide or bleed as your day wears on. And when you get compliments about your lipstick toward the end of the day, you know it works."

This is Cool Red from Monica's Voluptuous collection.

We found a tube at Sephora ($34).

Zendaya's Oscar Night Dreadlocks Put Chokehold On Fashion Police's Giuliana

We happen to think Zendaya is a beautiful, young girl. And she LOVES changing up her hairstyles....from pixie cut to super long dreadlocks. This Disney star is only 18, but has great fashion sense.

For her Oscar style Sunday evening, Zendaya chose to wear her dark hair in striking locs with a delicate white dress.

But E!'s Fashion Police took the young celebrity to task on Monday night's televised show, panning her look, especially the "heavy dreadlocks" which Fashion Police panelist Giulian Rancic laughed at, joking that Zendaya's locs probably smelled like "patchouli" and "weed.".

Zendaya Coleman was hurt by the zing and today issued her own blast back at 40-year-old Giuliana. You can read it here.

Maybe Zendaya is being a bit too sensitive? After all, it is Fashion Police, and they criticize a lot of red carpet fashion + beauty. It's what they do.

But then again, we think Zendaya did a great job throwing tremendous shade back at Giuliana Rancic + company.

The members of Fashion Police are well aware that if you are going to diss, be prepared that the diss might find its way back to you.

Giuliana says she meant no harm to Zendaya, and apologized through Twitter today:

Giuliana Rancic        ✔ @GiulianaRancic

Dear @Zendaya, I'm sorry I offended you and others. I was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!

12:10 AM - 24 Feb 2015

Okay, we hope that's over now.....It's not easy being a female celebrity and being dissected for every beauty and fashion choice you make. Hurts more, when the arrows are being slung by other females.

Giuliana Rancic has been raked over the coals recently by many people for appearing emaciated on the red carpet. She has chosen to ignore her critics.

Scarlett Johansson Haircut Evolution: Miley, Pink And Brigitte

Scarlett Johansson brought some edgy glamour to last night's Academy Awards program in a curve-hugging, emerald green Versace dress with an amazing, statement necklace.

You're either going to LOVE this look or despise it. But, whatever you think about the Oscar dress, you're probably more concerned with Scarlett's mohawk-inspired do.

Scarlett has AMAZING bone structure to begin with, so that usually means she can get away with more edgy + androgynous hairstyles.

We are NOT totally in heart of this buzzed sides, pompadour, mohawk do, but she can obviously rock it, and got lots of attention at the A-list ceremony last evening.

Having said all that, we must give credit where credit is due. So let's take a quick, haircut evolution of this striking hairstyle.

This is Brigitte Nielsen's blonde pompadour from the early 1980s. Oh, yeah.

There she is---the originator of this sexy hair do. And there she is married to hunky Sly Stallone, 1985.

And now the beauty imitators:

Pink--

Miley--

And Scar Jo:

You will need a tough hairspray to keep this big do still.
Try this one:

Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray ($17.95)

What do you think?

Could you, and would you, rock this edgy hairstyle?

Look Out For Low Bun On Oscars Red Carpet This Evening

Can't wait for this evening's Oscars!

And we especially ADORE the red carpet beauty/fashion for this important cinematic night. 

As far as hairstyles go, be on the watch for a few, lovely looks---including these--- loose, beachy waves, sleek back straight locks, loose, boho braids and the classic, low bun.

The bun is a chic, no-fuss style that stays neat + tidy + elegant all night long. It's BEST if you have a pro doing your bun, to make sure it remains perfect + pretty for several hours.

We like the low bun, and Dolce & Gabbana were HOT on this trend several months ago.

 

To prepare hair for a low bun, there are a few steps to follow:

1. Part hair to define whether center or side. Spritz hair with a heat protectant spray.

2. Then flat-iron to smooth out any bumps or waves so when hair is pulled back into a low ponytail and secured with an elastic, it sits flat and looks super shiny.

3. Once locks have been wound into low bun, you can use a finishing product to tame any flyaways.

4. You can also leave a length of hair out at the front of head, to wrap it around base of finished bun and hide elastic. Don't forget the bobby pins to secure your low bun.











Tresemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray ($3.99, at Target).

Selena Gomez wears the classic, low bun quite beautifully.
