Lauren Conrad: The Hills Finale Party





Face: Begin by using a creamy concealer around the eyes and on top of any red areas or blemishes. Next, take a little bit of foundation and dab it on the forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks. Blend well (especially along the jawline) using a sponge. Dust a little bit of setting powder to the skin as a final touch.
Cheeks: Begin by dusting the forehead, nose, and all around the hairline with a matte bronzer. Next, apply a sheer-pink powder blush such as Bobbi Brown Blush in Nectar to the apples of the cheeks, blending upward along the cheekbone.
Eyes: Getting Lauren's icy-hot eyes is easier than you think. The first step is applying a neutral shadow all over the lid. Next, use a black, slightly-shimmery shadow like Shu Uemura Pressed Iridescent Eye Shadow in Black; blend it starting right above your lashes to just under your crease. Using a black-liquid eyeliner such as Flirt! Cosmetics Opening Line in Ebony Edge, carefully line your upper and lower lashes. Create a thicker line on the top lashes and extend it out just a little bit for a catlike-winged effect. Then, take more of the black shadow and apply it over the liner for a smokier and softer effect.
Apply two coats of black mascara and attach false eyelashes for additional drama. Lastly, take a silver cream shadow like Vincent Longo's Eye Souffle in Argeto and using a Q-tip,carefully dot and blend the shadow to the "V" along the inner corners of your eyes.
Lips: Lauren's lip look is all about a pop of sheer color. Try using a bright pink lip gloss such as Benefit Her Glossiness V.I.P. Lip Gloss in Who Are You Wearing and keep reapplying throughout the night!

Rachel Bilson looked absolutely stunning at the premiere for her movie Jumper.She never looks overdone and knows that less is often more. So, if you're feeling so inclined to bring on the Bilson, use these tips to get her smouldering Jumper look:
Rachel always looks glowy and healthy (yet not overly bronzed or made-up), so you want to prep the skin to even it out a bit, but not hide your natural complexion. Use a tinted moisturizer such as Duwop's Revolotion Face (one of my absolute faves). It's infused with skin luminizers that give a radiant, natural look with a satin matte finish. Next up, add a hit of soft color to your cheeks with a neutrally blush such as Lancome Blush Subtil in Cedar Rose, a pinky brown that's universally flattering. This look is all about Rachel's lovely dark-brown eyes, so play them up with a browny-black smokey eye. Start by rimming the top and bottom lids with a black eye pencil such as Dior Crayon Eyeliner in Black. To soften the line, using an eyeshadow brush, go over it with a dark-brown shadow such as Earth Brown from YSL's Eye Shadow Duo in Golden Sand/Earth Brown and blend the shadow into the crease. Use the lighter shade in the compact from the crease on up to the brow to blend the darker shade into light, so it looks seamless. Follow up with a few coats of your favorite black mascara on the top lashes only. Finish with a slick of Laura Mercier's Stickgloss in Brown Sugar, a browny-pink balmy lipcolor, on the lips.
