Prettiest Trends In Hair And Makeup For 2012!
Senorita Hair
Insider trick: Rub Wella Professionals Rugged Fix Matte Molding Crème into the roots of your hair all over to create a slightly matted, dancing-the-night-away texture. As for the low pony, make sure you start with a side part, and then pull hair loosely back, allowing it to cover the ears.
WOW Brows
Insider trick: Brush brows upward to make them appear thicker and more youthful. If your arches are sparse, then use Maybelline Define-a-Brow Eyebrow Pencil to fill in gaps, suggests Willer.
Flared Lashes
Insider trick: After drawing a slightly winged black line along the upper lashes, go over it with a carbon-colored shadow (from Dolce & Gabbana's SmoothEye Colour Quad in Femme Fatale). Then, like McGrath, place just "a quarter of a strip" of faux fringe at the outer corners of eyes.
RED Hollywood Look
Insider trick: As an update to traditional crimson lips, McGrath skipped the liner and instead applied color with her finger for a soft, long-lasting finish.
Flesh-Toned Nails
Insider trick: To create a custom polish that matches your own skin tone, mix your basic nude hue (likeDashing Diva's Mr. Right) with loose mineral makeup powder, as the manicurists did backstage.
The New Braid
Insider trick: After pinning your twist, spray a light control hairspray (like Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold) on the rest of hair and scrunch to achieve that laid-back, faintly tangled look.

COLOR TIPS
How to dye it right every time

Before applying dye, swipe Vaseline along the hairline to shield skin from dips. And set the timer, the solution should only stay for 30 min.
TOUCH UP
Touch up your roots every six weeks. Want a totally new color? It's safe to switch up the shade sooner.

Makeup Tips: How to Wear Dark Lipstick
If you love deep and dramatic lip colors but have been afraid to try them out, then these makeup tips will give you all the confidence you’ll need to wear dark lipstick.
To avoid your dark lipstick fading before the party’s over or disappearing and leaving you with just your lip liner (not a good look), apply some lipstick primer, foundation or translucent powder to your lips before you apply your liner and lipstick. It will help your makeupto stick and the color to stay on your lips for as long as possible.
Ensure your lips are in tip-top condition and free from flakes. Dark lip colors will only show up and highlight imperfections so your pout needs to be perfect. For some easy tricks that will get your lips ready for lipstick, see our beauty blog,
Use lip liner. Dark shades draw a lot of attention so you’ll need to make sure your lips look nice and defined. Just remember to match the lip liner to your lipstick shade and to never use a light lip liner with dark lips (or vice versa). It’s just not a good look.
If you’re wearing a dark red lipstick, enhance the color with a subtle touch of pink blush on your cheeks. It’ll also keep your skin from looking washed out.
Balance strong lips with a subtle face. Keep your foundation flawless and natural looking, only apply blush if your face needs a slight touch of color, and let a nice coat of black mascara be the only makeup you apply to your eyes. It’ll give your peepers some definition and length and compliment your strong lips.
If you do want a look that is a little more made up, avoid going heavy on the eyeliner or dark eye shadowaround your eyes or you could end up looking very goth. Gently line your eyes with your liner or shadow for a subtle, smoky hint of color instead.
If you can’t find a blush color that matches close enough to your lipstick shade to create a nice complimentary look, apply some lipstick to your fingertip and then gently pat some of the lipstick color onto your cheeks and then blend it in like you would a mousse blush. Just ensure your makeshift blush is not the same level of shade as your lips to avoid a color overload.
Ensure your lipstick is applied perfectly by using a lip brush. Use small strokes and fill in your lips like you're painting them. Using a lip brush means you’ll get a more professional looking finish, you can control the depth of your shade, and your color should stay on longer.
If your dark lipstick looks a little much once you’ve applied it, mute the shade by dabbing some clear lip gloss over your lips.
Compliment your dark lipstick look with the right hairstyle. A ponytail or bun which pulls all your hair away from your face is the perfect way to give all the attention to your lips.
For the ultimate no fail shade, choose a dark lipstick that willmatch your skin tone. Cool skintones should choose dark lipsticks with blue and cool undertones, while warm skin tones should look for dark shades that are warm or golden (think oranges and browns).
If your lips are thin, try dark reds instead of intense black and browns as they will make your lips even slimmer

Choosing The Right Lipstick For Every Season.
We all like to change up our look from time to time, and seasonal changes when the colors of the earth and the colors of what we wear change is a fantastic time for us to change up our lipstick shades as well. The question is what should we change our lipstick shade to as the seasons change?
The Fall Lipstick Shades
Fall brings us crisp, clean golden shades and hues that look good on everyone. Some of the hottest colors for fall are:
- Spice shades
- Pumpkin colors
- Bronze tones
- Browns
- Taupe
- Dark apple reds
All of these shades almost all include one element of the other, whether it is a dark brown with some flecks of gold or taupe with a bronze hue. Experiment and see which ones work best with your eye color and skin tone.
The Winter Lipstick Shades
When we think of winter, we think of icy, cool tones and gemstone colors. Don’t be too surprised to see a lot of these colors in a more glossy, frosty style rather than a more matte style. Iridescent pinks are always a hit, especially if they have a hint of brown to them. Plum colors are also a great choice, as are the more neutral tones like brown and beige colors.
The Spring Lipstick Shades
Spring is all about keeping it soft and feminine, which is why any sort of pastel shade of lighter, paler colors are definitely a big hit. Pinks, soft reds, corals and other glossy mauve shades are a big hit in the spring. Orange tones can work for those with the right skin tone (typically warmer skin tones) and neutral colors are always in. Try a peach color for a softer look.
The Summer Lipstick Shades
Summer is where the bright shades come out to play. These colors are brighter yet usually more translucent than the heavier shades that fall and winter bring. Think of bright party pinks and cherry reds, magentas and even neutral shades if you want to keep it low key. Rose shades are great for a more natural look, while the frosty pinks will give you just a bit more of an edge while still being simple.
A common mistake that we all make when it comes to choosing lipstick shades based on the season is that we will open up the newest fashion magazine that we have pulled off of a rack, and an article will be going on and on about how a certain color is a huge hit this season. Sure, the color may be gorgeous, but that doesn’t mean that the color is gorgeous on you.
Before trusting any recommendations that a magazine may make, if there is a picture of a model or someone wearing the lipstick, be sure to see if the model has any similar features to your own. For example, is their hair color the same? Eye color? Skin tone? Or are you a brunette with brown eyes and she is a red head with green eyes? If that’s the case, chances are the lipstick will look fabulous on her but may be a flop for you.
