January Jones of Mad Men, graced the 2011 Golden Globes red carpet with an old Hollywood nostalgia. Red lipstick creates a chic seductive look, but it isn’t always easy to find the right shade for your complexion. Keep reading to get perfect fiery fifties lips for your skin color.
1. What skin tone do you have? The veins on the inside of your wrists are great indicators of what skint tone you have. If the veins are blue or purple, than you’re a cool girl. If the veins are yellow or green than you’re a warm chic.
2. For the cool shade girls: Is your skin complexion fair or medium? Girls with cool fair skin, look best with red lipstick that has a blue base. Girls with cool medium skin look best with red lipstick that has both a blue or warm red base.
3. For the warm-shade girls: Is your skin complexion olive or dark? Girls with warm olive complexions look best with red or red orange based lipstick. Girls with warm darker complexions look best with brown based red lipstick.
4. Time to fire things up. Now that you know your skin tone and complexion, its time to try on some lipstick! Remember to prep your lips with a lip balm. Apply a lip liner in the same shade of your lipstick or darker. Apply your shade of red lipstick, nude eye shadow, a side part in your hair and walk around talking with some great ’50s phrases. Daddy-o!

To make a round face appear slimmer, or rock a red carpet look in a snap, highlight your cheekbones with these easy steps! Use a cream blush on the apples of your cheeks, and blend the color upwards along your natural cheekbones toward the outer edges of your face. Use a liquid or stick highlighter to line the area just underneath your cheekbones (the part of your cheek that sinks in when you make a kissing face). Blend the highlighter upwards into the blush, never going higher than the apples of your cheeks. Finish the look by reducing signs of color-creasing with a dust of translucent powder.

Former model and now actress Lily Cole has undergone a major change. Famous for her bright red tresses, the doll-faced starlet has recently dyed her hair a rich chocolate brown.

As of now, we’re not quite sure if this decision was for a new film in the making or simply a lifestyle choice. Either way, tell us what you think of Lily’s new look!

It can be a pain when every new hair trend seems to require curly-haired girls to pull out the straightening iron and blow dryer. But don’t worry—it’s time to put those hot tools down, because this season’s ushering in four hot new hairstyles that require curls!
Badgley Mischka, Imaxtree A deep side part (hair barrette optional) is a polished look. Although this hairstyle is shown with volume only on the sides, which you can easily get by sleeping with damp hair in a tight ponytail, it would look just as lovely with entirely curly hair.
Marc Jacobs, Imaxtree For girls with already short hair (or looking to go shorter for spring) a cute ’30s style bob is a fashionable option. This wash-and-go style is great for the girl on the go.
Z Spoke by Zac Posen, Imaxtree For an edgier look the ruffled up-do is right on trend. Simply crop the sides and back of the hair short and keep it long on the top and front. If you’re not ready for the chop, fake it with long hair by twisting the back into a french twist, bobby pinning the “tail” forward, and smoothing the sides down with a dab of gel.
Marc Jacobs, Imaxtree Or for the truly adventurous (or truly time pressed) go big with Marc Jacobs frizzy styles. Simply brush through curls and pin the hair back behind your ears or smooth back with some hair gel.

Thick, eyelash grazing bangs à la Jane Birkin are still a fresh look for spring, and a great way to quickly change up your hairstyle. One caveat for this spring trend: if you have very wavy or curly hair—unless you are prepared to blow dry your bangs every morning—you might want to skip this look. However, if you have a long or oval shaped face, with straight or slightly wavy hair, then these bangs were meant for you. To style thick bangs: dry the bangs straight, then spray a bit of hairspray onto a brush, and brush through the bangs to keep them in place.

Oh if only the Brazilian queen of tropical fruit could see her influence now! More than six decades have passed since Carmen Miranda donned her festively flamboyant fruit hat that would later become the infamous Chiquita Banana logo, and now the fruit-happy style is back. For spring ’11, Miranda’s exotic flare and charisma re-emerged, brightening the most elite runways. Designers enticed our palate with all things edible through quirky, playful prints: banana’s adorn flouncy skirts and Hawaiian shirts at Prada while Stella McCartney sliced her lemon dresses with two zesty thigh-high slits. To prevent the look from being too costumey, the citrus shades are balanced by clean lines and tempered by stark white backgrounds. We can’t wait to see who wears this tasty trend! Would you?

- Rag & Bone’s latest ad campaign “Girls by Girls” has the model not just posing for the photo, but being the photographer as well. They are formatted to look like the flyers you see at college campuses and on community bulletin boards, with the rip-able info for Rag & Bone at the bottom. The idea of course, is to up the cool and authentic street factor of Rag & Bone by plastering these across every available surface in a guerrilla-style ad campaign. With photos this gorgeous, we wouldn’t mind having our own walls covered with them also.
