Gigi Hadid is the undisputed model and It girl of the moment. Gigi first made her debut on the Desigual catwalk last year, and has since then taken the fashion industry by storm walking for names like Dolce & Gabbana, Jeremy Scott, and most recently H&M. Along with her runway charisma, Gigi is also known for being a fresh faced beauty. Cosmetics retailer Maybelline even made her the face of their brand. At just 19-years old, Gigi’s walk and picture perfect face has captured the industry and it’s no wonder that everyone is dying to find out her beauty secrets.
Gigi told POPSUGAR, “I think that makeup has the power to really change someone’s confidence. It is true that beauty comes from within, but I know that when I’m feeling down and I put makeup on, it automatically makes me feel beautiful and therefore changes my mood. Good makeup is one of the best accessories.”
So how do we steal Gigi’s look? According to her, her look is, “Natural, golden, glowy, and contoured,” which translates to bronzer, highlighter, and minimal foundation. Nude lips are a staple in her beauty routine, with a toned down cat eye making an occasional appearance. When POPSUGAR asked what her best kept beauty secret is, Gigi replied, “Using sugar scrub with a mascara-tester-wand on your lips is a great way to exfoliate them!» You heard it ladies, start scrubbing!
Hot on the heels of the rumors that she will be replacing Kelly Osbourne on Fashion Police, Khloe Kardashian unveiled her newly blonde locks. If there were any doubts about Khloe’s style status, she has put them to rest with her lightened do.
The TV personality was all confidence as she strutted out of LAX. Khloe was dressed in a black leather jacket, black trousers, and oversized black shades––making her blonde hair all the more noticeable.
Rumors have been running wild that Khloe will take Kelly Osbourne’s seat on Fashion Police after Kelly quit the show. Kelly left the show after Giuliana Rancic made a racist comment about Kelly’s friend Zendaya.
@Zendaya you are a gorgeous, intelligent young lady! I love all that you represent! Keep empowering and shine bright!
Khloe is also a supporter of Zendaya, and was one of the first to publicly praise her for standing up for herself. According to Us Weekly, “it is ‘very possible’ that the reality star will join the show. ‘She was supposed to do it last time and passed. She may consider doing it again but the offer would have to be really high,’ the insider says. ‘It’s a lot of extra work for her.’”
Though Khloe is the strongest candidate for Fashion Police, there are talks that NeNe Leakes from The Real Housewives of Atlanta is also competing for the coveted seat.
Fashion designer and television personality, Nicole Richie, is known for her ever changing hair as much as her on screen antics. Last week, we reported that Nicole went from sky blue to bubblegum pink, and this week we’re showing you a detailed look at her constant hair evolution. Long gone are the long, blonde waves from The Simple Life days.
As the saying goes, “new hair, new Nicole.” See Nicole Richie’s hair transformation in the gallery above!
Kim Kardashian gave up all of her best kept beauty secrets this week, and in addition to not washing her hair for five days the star also revealed that it’ll cost you about $2K to get her face. While $2K might be a reasonable price tag for someone with a net worth of $65 million, many of us aren’t so fortunate.
According to Jezebel, the complete list of products used in Kim’s facial regimen is as follows:
Lancôme Définicils High Definition Mascara ($27.50)
Individualist Lashes ($10.98)
As a certified beauty buff on a budget, I’ve compiled my own list of dupes to get Kim’s beauty routine in under $200. Rounded up, your total cost for a paparazzi ready Kim Kardashian look is $197. See my picks in the gallery above!
For this week’s beauty hack, we were inspired by the Oscars red carpet’s reigning beauty queens. Lupita Nyong’o’s fresh faced makeup is the obvious top pick, while Jennifer Lawrence’s radiant look at last year’s Oscars remains a classic. Emma Watson rounds out the list with her vibrant red lips and nude eye.
See how to get your favorite Oscars-inspired beauty looks below!
Lupita Nyong’o’s award winning beauty at the 2014 Oscars.
Lupita Nyong’o’s Fresh Face
Lupita took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress last year, along with the titles of best dressed and best beauty look. This tutorial is by Lupita’s very own makeup artist Nick Barose. A little goes a long way with this makeup look. Champagne highlighter and a touch of red lipstick are the stars of this look.
Jennifer Lawrence’s Subtle Cat Eye
This tutorial is based on J. Law’s makeup at the LA premiere of the latest in The Hunger Games film franchise, but is a close dupe of her Oscars look. The key to getting Jennifer’s radiant look is focusing dark eyeliner on the outside of your eyes and keeping the rest of your makeup clean. Finish with a slightly coral tinted gloss, rather than the pink featured in the video, to complete the look.
Emma Watson’s Bold Lip
While Emma Watson didn’t take home any Oscars, she still wowed the crowd with her gorgeous makeup. Emma’s makeup featured her flawless brows, and focused on a bold lip and full lashes. Remember to moisturize your lips prior to applying your bold lipstick, and be generous with the mascara. For extra drama, try some false lashes.
Get ready for the Oscars with these red carpet inspired looks. Not sure which products will make you a winner? Check out my 10 favorite tried and true beauty products here.
I have two addictions in life: boots and beauty products. I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on both topics, and I’m unashamed to admit that that’s where most of my money ends up. As Carrie famously said in Sex and the City, “I like my money right where I can see it… hanging in my closet”, and I like to see it in my makeup bag too.
Just like the perfect leather boots, finding the right beauty product is a serious investment in both time and money––and I’ve spent a lot of both. After years of testing products and countless eyeliners and lotions wasted, I’ve finally found an artillery of beauty products that I can rely on.
Save time and maybe some money with my 10 tried and true beauty product picks. Shop them in the gallery above!
