Guides on how to apply makeup, style your hair, and solve countless other beauty conundrums.

Check out this Ford Models video on YouTube - it’s a great, quick tutorial on how to apply makeup and get out quickly in the morning. I don’t post much on the subject because, well, I like to spend hours on my makeup! It’s an obsession, I know.

Country-pop newcomer Taylor Swift, now getting accolades for “Our Song”, first saw success with her hit “Teardrops on My Guitar”. Taylor’s gorgeous shadow and glitter looks too luxe for real life, but believe me kids, it’s not all video magic! Here’s how to master Miss Swift’s ultrafeminine look:

Almost every woman has at least a little peach fuzz on her upper lip. The truth is, you probably notice it more than anyone who’s ever seen you. Women with dark hair on their upper lips have done everything to hide it (powder, concealer, overdrawn lip lines), and it often works better than you think. Still, if [...]

For those of you who watch Rock of Love (God help you…and me), you know that despite Bret Michaels‘ futile attempts to trade innocent hottie Megan Hauserman for headcase Kristy Joe Muller, the drama queen with the random guy spelling of her middle name chose to check out on last night’s episode to deal with [...]

A full ballerina-style bun is a perfect hairstyle for nearly any occasion - prom, your wedding or just a weekend shopping trip. Here’s how to style it yourself so you get a full, thick bun:

What’s the hottest hairstyle in Hollywood today? Simple: big, loose curls. But for everyday, this hairstyle can look a little too polished. A slightly unkempt hairstyle like Kate Hudson’s over there is more wearable around town and still cute enough for an impromptu date with the Starbucks guy. Here’s how to style it [...]

In the March issue of W magazine, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman went dark and vampy with goth-style makeup to promote their new film, The Other Boleyn Girl. Some snarky internet ladies who won’t be named have criticized Scarlett’s look in the shoot, but I love it! This is an excellent example of how to [...]

“French twist” is a catch-all term for an easy and adaptable type of updo. The basic French twist can be modified into any number of updo hairstyles - but it’s beautiful all on its own! This is a great choice for a prom or wedding hairstyle, and if you’re brave and can do anything with [...]

Are you sick of your rough, calloused feet? Of course you are! It’s no secret women want every (and I mean every) part of their bodies to be soft and pretty. Unfortunately, your feet are at the bottom of the barrel, and most of us ignore them till they feel [...]

The “mod” style of makeup is named as such because it’s an abbreviation for “modern” - ironic now that mod makeup is considered retro. Dated or no, mod has found its way into many high end fashion designer’s collections on the runway and is very applicable for a high-drama look today. Here’s a couple tips [...]

By “contour”, I mean to change the visual impression of the shapes of your features. Many of us unwittingly contour every day: wing-tipped eyeliner creates the illusion of more angled, exotic eyes, bronzer suggests higher cheekbones, [...]

This is an actual image of the Beauty Bunny herself on her glorious wedding day. Clearly, makeup was a huge consideration in the process, and I’m aware many girls have particular problems when trying to get fake eyelashes for a big event. I am normally satisfied enough with my mascaras themselves and my ability to [...]

Trends have definitely followed super-straight hair. Celebs like Reese Witherspoon and Rachel Bilson are seen sporting the style all the time, so I thought it’d be helpful to share some tips on getting it at home with no salon blowout and no split ends.
