FYI, cutie pie Frankie Sanford is one-fifth of British girl group The Saturdays, and as the only member with a striking, sexy short haircut, she certainly stands out amongst the others. Recently she parted from her natural chocolate hue to experience life as a blonde… We say eh; we like her better as a brunette, but what say you?

While everyone else spent their Sunday watching the Emmy Awards from the comfort of their home, we spent the afternoon lounging in the exclusive HBO/L’Oreal Paris Luxe Beauty Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Stars from True Blood, The Office, Dancing With the Stars, The Bachelorette, etc… stopped by to get primped from head to toe for their turn on the red carpet. Delish Chambord cocktails circled the room while guests indulged in manicures, massages, makeup, hairstyling, men’s grooming… the works.
We briefly chatted with the L’Oreal Paris touch-up team (after we were treated to makeup and a manicure!), and asked them to share their tips on how the everyday woman can red-carpet ready in mere minutes. Time to take notes, ladies…
Makeup artist Christine Nguyen (pictured left):
“False eyelashes are great for popping the eyes. Start with a soft eyeshadow and then add short and medium-length individual lashes at the corners [of your eyes] and in-between your lashes, wherever you feel you might need them.
And use a great cheek color (blush). You can wear it with a strong eye, and you can wear it with a soft eye… it adds dimension and color and makes the face look fresh.”
Hairstylist Christophe Saluzzo (pictured center):
“Wash and set your hair onto velcro rollers, then blow-dry. Let your hair cool off on the rollers while you shower, do your makeup, and get dressed. When you’re ready, remove the rollers and you will have nice volume.
Or, if you don’t have time to wash your hair, a quick, messy undo is more modern and fancy and fashionable. Just grab the hair, pull it back and pin it into place. The more texture your hair has, the better. It’s easy! 10 minutes and you’re done.”
Makeup artist April Chaney (pictured right):
“Every woman looks beautiful if they have these three things in their makeup bag: eyeliner, mascara, and a lip gloss. If you want to enhance the eyes, just apply black eyeliner along the lash line on the top, and on the inside of the bottom eyelid. Then build up your lashes with mascara, and top it all off with lip gloss!
Also take care of your skin and make sure it looks good. [When it comes to] foundation, it’s all according to preference. If you need more coverage or have dry skin, I suggest using a liquid. But if you just want a dewy look, use [liquid] bronzer to contour your skin, especially around the hairline and the chin.”

I’ve briefly spoken of my love for two-tone hair before, but now I’m becoming more and more obsessed with it as the days go by… Be it more dramatic like Drew Barrymore’s bold and brassy look, or more warm like Rachel Bilson’s part-brunette, part-auburn hair hue, I’m definitely thinking about brightening the tips of my onyx strands really soon.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Charlize Theron probably couldn’t be any more different personality-wise, but when it comes to beauty, they look to be perfectly in sync. Center-parted tousled dirty blonde manes (with dark roots to boot), icy pink matte lips, peachy blush swirled low on their cheeks, and orange eyeshadow underneath their eyes.
Olsen’s shadow is a much more prominent and a brighter hue, while Theron’s eyes are enveloped in a softer shimmery shade. We’re not fans of this look per se (we think it makes us look half-dead), but it may actually work for you. To get the look, lightly dust one of the shades below underneath your lower lash line and report back. We’re dying to hear how this look goes over on the sidewalk.

Let’s get one thing straight. Drew Barrymore will never be a hair icon. Beauty, yes. Hair… no. Case-in-point: Barrymore’s eccentric mane at the London premiere of her latest film, Going the Distance.
Part brunette, part red, part blonde… le sigh. Her hair is a bonafide multi-colored mess, but you know what? We actually love it! (Shhhhhhhhhh… don’t tell anyone.)
It’s tangled, it’s braided, it’s quintessential Drew. And it kinda rocks.

FYI, no one works the ‘modern bombshell’ look better than Jameela Jamil. She’s quirky, she’s retro, she’s glamorous, she’s curvy, and she’s quite hilarious to boot. Well known across the pond for her ultra-glossy mane, rosy pout, and expertly-lined lids, the Indian-British T4 presenter (who’s being tipped as the next Alexa Chung) is rarely seen in public deviating from her signature sexpot look. Based on the photo below, we think that’s a good thing. Here’s how to snag her sultry style.
1. Guerlain Terracotta Baume Au Coeur High-Shine Soothing Lip Balm, $30 at Sephora.com.
2. Bumble and Bumble Shine, $35 at BumbleAndBumble.com.
3. MAC Liquid Liner in Boot Black, $16.50 at Nordstrom.com.

(Yes, two back-to-back Kim Kardashian posts!) Everyone goes on and on about amazing The Tush’s makeup always looks, but we think her lustrous locks deserve an honorable mention as well. No matter how she styles it, her strands constantly look stellar. (If I’m ever in need of a hair transplant, Kimmy better hold on tight to her scalp and her tresses.) Anyway…

Kim Kardashian is a cover girl (yet again). The reality starlet is on the cover of the coveted September issue of Allure. Below, a few candid snaps taken by photographer Michael Thompson.
A stunning 50s inspired look; hair by Garren and makeup by Gucci Westman.
ON HER CAREER AMBITIONS: “In elementary school, The Real World came on, and I was like, That’s it! I know I want to be on a reality show.”
ON HER BEAUTY ICONS: “In high school, I loved Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez and very ethnic beauties,” she says. “I loved Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren, and Elizabeth Taylor, I’d have to say, is one of my favorites.”
