To help decipher the code behind this topic, Head and Shoulders Grooming Expert Cheri Keating has quite a few tips that will definitely help the Mars in your life!</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">How to prepare your scalp for shampooing: Deeply, but gently massage the scalp to stimulate blood vessels and help encourage a healthy scalp and hair. A gentle shampoo and conditioner system such as Head and Shoulders Classic Clean.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Make sure to never scrub the scalp because it promotes irritation and damage. This can deter scalp and hair health. </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">To keep a groomed and suave appearance between haircuts, trim unwanted hair on the neck and around the sideburns with trimmers and a pair of scissors. Round tipped one works best.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Investing in a natural wooden brush with wooden pins is a smart idea if you're serious about healthy hair and more importantly, a healthy scalp. Not to mention, brushing the hair is similar to a scalp massage!</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Need ideas for looks? Check out these tips:</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong>NATURAL BUT TEXTURED</strong>: The less blow drying, combing and brushing the better. Use matte wax or pomade. Warm a small amount in the palm, working it through barely dry hair. Pull it through the ends of the hair, combing with your fingers from the back of the crown toward the front.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong>EDGY</strong>: After adding wax, move small sections of the hair in different directions keeping the primary movement forward.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong>SIDE SWEPT</strong>: Again using the fingers as a comb to retain the natural texture of your hair, sweep across the forehead to one side and lightly smooth with a finishing cream.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong>FINE</strong>: Use a spray wax to add texture and lift. Lifting sections of hair with the fingers, spray a small amount into the hair, allow to “set” for a minute and then style lightly with the fingers.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">With tips like these, it's safe to say that Cheri knows what she's talking about when it comes to male grooming. She has worked with Luke Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, James Marsden, Seth Rogan, Judd Apatow and Jonah Hill, helping them look their absolute best before they walk down the red carpet.</div>Editor of Beauty Arabiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05239862121919583580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401532301260192241.post-45821594991873832592009-03-19T01:57:00.000-07:002009-03-19T02:08:34.628-07:00New Product Alert: Estee Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup SPF 10<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMTUiglZhENyUAJiMjiUeO1LOJI6CEca4echExYP2fbUdjPeeIneSKrACEU7h8pPHx1HdUumdJP20iwfKk7KJAZ56pbOLWSaOOoE42kc65rqEIHrrBpFMW4968Y4O5CJ4T6zwgOa9ViM4e/s1600-h/esteelauder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMTUiglZhENyUAJiMjiUeO1LOJI6CEca4echExYP2fbUdjPeeIneSKrACEU7h8pPHx1HdUumdJP20iwfKk7KJAZ56pbOLWSaOOoE42kc65rqEIHrrBpFMW4968Y4O5CJ4T6zwgOa9ViM4e/s320/esteelauder.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It seems like Estee Lauder has finally jumped on the mineral makeup wagon. They have just released their new <a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/nutritious/index.tmpl?cm_mmc=dig_mktg-_-Nutritious_Launch-_-Campaign-_-Ad_Units_to_LP">Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup with SPF 10 ($33.50)</a>. One of the attractive features about this product is that it is available in <a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT1194&PRODUCT_ID=4294">loose powder</a> (SPF 15) or <a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT1194&PRODUCT_ID=4311">liquid</a> (SPF 10). Furthermore, it's being touted as "skin-loving mineral makeup" which I hope is true. Of course, Estee Lauder provided the following reasons why you should be hyped up about this product:</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Minerals</span>: Minerals boost energy and help protect and fortify to build up skin's natural defenses.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Healthy Radiance</span>: Nutritious creates an energized look, erases signs of fatigue and enhances skin's beauty with a natural, vibrant finish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Pomegranate</span>: Infused with Pomegranate Extract - known as a super-potent antioxidant - to help protect against daily free-radicals assaults.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Vitamins</span>: With a blend of vitamins to help improve skin's overall condition and maintain its radiant, healthy look.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Ultra-gentle</span>: Nutritious makeup is gentle enough for even sensitive skin.<br /><br />The shade selection is categorized by intensities - 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 - for both the liquid and powder foundations. Each product yields a radiant finish. They are oil-free, dermatologist-tested, ophthalmologist-tested, fragrance-free, non-acnegenic, and photo-friendly. I am so glad to hear that this product is photo-friendly because I recently tried Estee Lauder's popular <a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT643&PRODUCT_ID=3894">DoubleWear Stay in Place Makeup SPF 10</a> . I was so disappointed when I took a picture. This foundation, in my opinion, is not photo-friendly. It showed up a ghastly white in photos!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Are you psyched about Estee Lauder's new mineral makeup foundation?</div></div>Editor of Beauty Arabiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05239862121919583580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401532301260192241.post-10354017773023562582009-03-19T00:57:00.000-07:002009-03-19T00:57:48.610-07:00Cosmetic Giant Lancôme Has a Blog!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirEDHBUzaMBM4McuDxtTcNVQm1PpJteC_N3borMNAiTwchOKX81QbtAtbnxAhWfh1RCEXqxD0YiECyUSvtsq7awMHPWTCAkfgJTgoLX2Iddz5bRMHxUKa9GON49rSZGCj5DhF7N67Z5qhs/s1600-h/behindscene.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirEDHBUzaMBM4McuDxtTcNVQm1PpJteC_N3borMNAiTwchOKX81QbtAtbnxAhWfh1RCEXqxD0YiECyUSvtsq7awMHPWTCAkfgJTgoLX2Iddz5bRMHxUKa9GON49rSZGCj5DhF7N67Z5qhs/s400/behindscene.jpg" style="cursor: move;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, Lancôme has joined countless other beauty bloggers in delivering beauty news and such.

Hayek plans to cater to the woman on a budget - the line will be sold in drugstore and will carry her late grandmother's name. </div><br />

I knew that once I started reading some of the chapters, I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. And I was <em>so </em>right! Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual is both educational <em>and </em>entertaining. Check out the tips that Bobbi Brown gives Middle Eastern beauties:</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Use a corrector to brighten</strong> very dark under-eye circles.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Sometimes you have to layer a few correctors</span> (pink over peach), and then add concealer.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Find a yellow-toned foundation</span> that exactly matches the skin. The right foundation often has a bit of orange as well.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Line the eyes </span>with black liner or a charcoal shadow. Never go lighter than mahogany.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Use blush</span> in deep rose and pink shades. Don't be afraid to find your pop of color.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Deep lip colors</span> look wonderful on those with darker lip tones.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Avoid colors that turn ashy.</span><br />

I'm still a virgin when it comes to their lingerie but I was able to find a Victoria's Secret outlet near me and I hope to visit soon! Anyway, Heidi Klum was made up by celebrity makeup artist Linda Hay for Victoria's Secret Beauty. Serge Normant did her hair. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Inspired by Heidi's Roland Mouret gown, Hay decided to create a softer, natural look to compliment the graphic and bold red silhouette. There was no need to compete!</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Hay wanted to bring out on Heidi’s dramatic eyes and also incorporate the powder pink color of the coral and diamond Lorraine Schwartz jewelry on the lips and cheeks. Linda sought to create a look that was light and dewy while still modern and sexy.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Eyes.</b> Linda began by lining the top and bottom lashes with Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Eyeliner in Dark Chocolate and highlighting the inside triangle of the eye with a shimmering nude eye shadow in Champagne. She then used the Victoria Secret Spring Look Eye Shadow Quad to highlight the eyes and make them pop. Using a large shadow brush, Hay applied Rich to the crease, Devoted to the eyelid and Champagne again as a highlighter under the brow and the inside corner of the eye. Using a smaller point shadow brush she blended a soft line under the eye from the outside corner to the tear duct. To finish, Linda applied three coats of Victoria’s Secret High Definition Mascara in Blackest Black.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cheeks.</b> On the cheeks, Linda used the new Victoria’s Secret Highlighter/Blush Duo in Flesh to the apple of the cheek to create the allusion of more defined bone structure.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Lips. </b>Linda lined the lips with the Perfect Lipstick in Whisper followed by Victoria’s Secret Lip Gloss in Blush for subtle pink finish.</div><br />

<div style="border: medium none;">Celebrity makeup artist Jeffrey Paul incorporated the colors of a "morning sunrise." </div><br />
"Tonight's look was about elegance, " says Paul. "It's about the youthful radiance of a young woman." <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Paul used Diorskin Nude in Honey Beige. To get that pretty glow, Freida wore Diorskin Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond. Everything was set with DiorSkin Nude Powder in Deep.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Paul used Dior 1-Colour Eyeshadow in Blooming Pink, Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Beige Messai (a soft brown shade), Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Night Dust (a deep brown shade) for Freida's eyes. He then coated her lashes with DiorShow Mascara in Brown</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I love the rose color that Freida is wearing. Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Sheer Rose was used.<br />
<br />
For her gown and accessories, Freida Pinto wore a John Galliano gown, Jimmy Choo shoes and a Judith Leiber bag. Her ring is from Martin Katz, with a 150 year old vintage diamond from India.<br />

Thanks to <a href="http://www.elle.com/">Emily Hebert of Elle</a>, I can finally spill the details!<br />
<br />
“The inspiration was Grace Kelly,” says Renato Campora, who styled Winslet’s hair for Frédéric Fekkai. “I wanted to aspire to her look—the Oscars were the perfect occasion.”<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1</b>. Campora applied <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P171335&cm_mmc=us_search-_-GoogleBase-_-P171335-_-968834&_requestid=42976&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=968834">Fekkai More All Day Density Styling Whip</a> on wet hair, and blow-dried with a round brush to create volume.<br />
<br />
<b> Step 2.</b> He used a 1-inch curling iron; after letting curls set for 20 minutes, he massaged <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P189138&categoryId=B70">Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra Light Finishing Crème</a> into strands and brushed through “to create body wave and shape.”<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3</b>. In creating the perfectly-crafted roll at the nape of Winslet’s neck, Campora teased the bottom section of Winslet’s hair and tucked under.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 4.</b> Combing sleek strands over this base, he then pinned and finished with <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P53948&categoryId=B70">Frédéric Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray</a>.<br />
<br />
“I wanted to do something where people say, ‘Wow!’ but also keep with simplicity,” says Campora of the final, sculpted hairstyle, adding, “It’s different than a bun or chignon—it’s more modern.”</div>Editor of Beauty Arabiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05239862121919583580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401532301260192241.post-79240124383950166922009-02-23T10:07:00.000-08:002009-02-23T10:07:31.547-08:00#NYFW: Dashing Diva at Rad Hourani<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwcF_J72M-zU2kSFx8x7-qDxZ_cVD9Yhhe88IIwAjBrONMMonnRuPXtl81jYcQqop18SjJSlC3oUladJEMA40taqb0fUsSrDf1PMRoU21b_5BlaDWHyUR075_IFGnc4rKE101zO8Oeo7fr/s1600-h/dashingddivaimage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwcF_J72M-zU2kSFx8x7-qDxZ_cVD9Yhhe88IIwAjBrONMMonnRuPXtl81jYcQqop18SjJSlC3oUladJEMA40taqb0fUsSrDf1PMRoU21b_5BlaDWHyUR075_IFGnc4rKE101zO8Oeo7fr/s400/dashingddivaimage.jpg" vi="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dashing Diva head nail tech <a href="http://www.alisharimando.com/">Alisha Rimando</a> and her team were backstage at New York’s Fashion Week at the Rad Hourani show on Friday, February 20th.

Lightly smudge so there are no harsh lines. Apply several coats of <a href="http://www.lancome-usa.com/makeup/mascara/oscillation.htm">Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara</a> for a faux-lash effect. For just a hint of color, dust <a href="http://www.lancome-usa.com/makeup/blush-and-bronzers/blush-subtil-sheer.htm">Lancôme Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose</a> on the apples of the cheeks.
