BEAUTY BY EXAMPLE

Mother’s Day is still a month away, but Carrie Underwood offered up
some advice about listening to mom on StyleWatch. “If I could go back
and talk to my 15-year-old self I’d be like, ‘Seriously, listen to
your mom,’” she told People.com. “Drink more water, put more sunscreen
on, moisturize. There are a lot of people like me who wish they did
more.” Now older and wiser, Underwood stresses the importance of
following these simple, but important tips for taking care of your
skin. Says the singer, “My mom is a great example to me and my
sisters, she’s just the best,” she says. Aw, thanks, Mom! Now don’t
forget Sunday, May 13—and the SPF.

SHAKIRA SHAKES IT UP, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TOO

New Year, new look: More than a few of us are probably mulling over
the idea of unveiling a drastic new hairstyle on NYE—and it seems like
Shakira was too: “Just in time for the holidays, Shakira debuted a new
’do on Twitter,” reported People’s StyleWatch earlier this week. “The
Colombian singer, on holiday in Barcelona, popped into a salon and
chopped several inches off of her hair.” She’s not the only celeb to
go short recently: her “sharp bob and fringe-y bangs [are] similar to
Katy Perry’s new cut.” These head-turning fresh and flattering looks
could also be the new you.

THE PERFECT COORDINATES

Holiday party season is a great excuse to get more sparkly with
your earrings and more creative with your hair. But, while “it’s not
rocket science, it is an important element of style: what kinds of
earrings you should wear with what hairstyles,” explains StyleWatch.
Addressing this seasonal subject, Lauren Conrad’s site,
thebeautydepartment.com, enlisted actress/jewelry designer Kate
Bosworth and hair stylist Kristin Ess for some ideas, like matching
simple hair with small jewels and coordinating lipstick to the color
of the stones. For chandelier earrings, try your hair up, chignon
style or hair down, parted to the side or behind the ears. Cin cin to
that!

THE VOTE IS ON

The vote is on over at People’s StyleWatch on whether or not you would wear some of the latest beauty trends being spotted on Hollywood celebs. First up for the judging: the sleek topknot. “Kim Kardashian and Fergie take the chic ballerina bun to new heights, pulling it into a perfectly smooth style and planting it right at the crown of the head.” (A winning look we also saw in heavy rotation at the Donna Karan fall show.) While they’re holding a perfect ballet pose, other starlets are singing the blues—or rather incorporating deep blues into their eye makeup “Emma Stone and Anna Kendrick revisit an ’80s staple—blue eye shadow—in a modern way: by rimming their eyes with a deep navy liner and accenting the look with a subtle wash.” On the lighter side, “Heidi Klum and Ginnifer Goodwin perfect the icy stare by dusting their eyes in cool blue shadow – with the supermodel taking the look to its outer extremes.” Sounds like time to work your Blue Steel!
