5 Easy Tips For Party-Proofing Your Hair and Makeup

Why is it that by the time the cameras come out at some holiday parties, everybody looks like they've been hiking the Sierra Madres, all windburned cheeks and frizzy, lopsided hair? While I can't do anything about late picture takers (and their tendency to post unflattering photos on Facebook), I can help protect you from their nefarious snapping with a few good tips. Besides commonsense stuff like wearing waterproof mascara and eyeliner, there are a few other principles that it's always good to remember when you're going to have a long night out and need to maintain. So to find out what you can do to keep your makeup in place and your hair upright, just keep reading.

Little Ms. Rock n' Roll Makeup: How To Get Kate's Look

BellaSugar — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 14:05:27 PST

Our Little Ms. Rock n' Roll Kate Hudson plays Penny Lane - a "band aid" in the wonderful 2000 movie Almost Famous. In this memorable roll, Kate portrays a groupie that trails a rock n' roll band on their cross country tour.

This endearing role put Kate on the map. Her winning charm and cool rocker chick style have made her very famous! Further enhancing her rock n' roll persona, later that year, Kate married real life rocker, Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes. Unfortunately, they have since broken up.

No matter who she dates, or what role she is playing, Kate has a hippie luxe style all her own. She's not afraid to try new looks and she's got the cute bod to wear anything she wants!

As we all know, achieving the "natural look" is anything but natural. A lot of products go into creating a glowing, perfect complexion. To find out how to recreate Penny Lane's look from Louis Burwell, the film's makeup artist,

Begin with a light foundation and a brightening concealer. Here Kate is wearing YSL Touche Eclat #2 and it has been carefully yet liberally applied under her eyes and on her lids. Personally, I also love YSL's Perfect Foundation.
Set your concealer and foundation with a light dusting of loose ivory powder. Kate has on Lancome Dual Finish Fragrance Free Versatile Powder in Matte Porcelain.
On her cheeks, she is wearing RCMA Cheek Color in blush pink. This adds just a bit of natural warmth to pale skin.
On Kate's eyes, she has on a natural taupe color such as Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Matte Taupe which was applied to her eyes with little dots of color in between her lashes to give her eyes some definition.
Louis used Lancome Aquacils Mascara in Brown/Black on her lashes. This is no longer in production, however, try Lancome Difinicils High Definition Mascara in Deep Brown for a similar shade.
Lastly, a variety of colors were applied to Kate's lips here, but the main color used was Guava Stain by Clinique. You can also try any number of sheer lip tints too. Party on!

Party Girl #4: Little Ms. Rock n' Roll

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 06:42:55 PST

I hope you have enjoyed these accelerated party girl inspired Fab Finding missions this week. It was a lot of fun for me...and there's one more! Our final party girl personality is Little Ms. Rock n' Roll and blondie Kate Hudson is our poster girl. We all know Kate and her rocker hubbie split this year but she continues to rock effortlessly cool ensembles. I envision little Ms. Rock n' Roll attending some awesome secret rock show this New Year's Eve. What should she wear?

So please go Fab Finding and help me put together a drop dead New Years outfit for this personality. And you have to be quick as I'll be piecing the outfit together today and revealing it at the end of the day! Don't forget to tag your items with RocknRoll. Party on!

I wanted to kick off American Beauty's look with this fabulous pair of Hollywould Red Ava Peeptoe Pumps, on sale for $291 (originally $485). This party girl is more proper than our other party girls but her feet are certainly allowed to flirt! Do these red lovelies strike your fancy? Check out my earlier post on jaw dropping red shoes.

Party Girl #3: American Beauty

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 06:18:15 PST

I know what you're thinking: Reese Witherspoon is not exactly a party girl. This may be, but I'm sure the newly single Reese has some fun plans this New Year's and we all love her American Beauty look so she is our third party girl personality this week. Polished, elegant and perfectly coiffed is the way of the American Beauty. Let's put together a fantastic New Year's outfit for Reese that will turn a few heads!
