Makeup for Redheads: I stumbled upon this article: ELLE’s Best Makeup for Redheads with a photo gallery of the best makeup looks for redheads with tips and tricks from celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin on how to achieve each look. Celebrity Redhead Number One: Christina Hendricks. Rachel Goodwin, a celebrity makeup artist for Chanel, says that lipstick isn’t what it used to be—and that’s a good thing: “In the 1960s, it was somewhat chalky and colors were overly pigmented.

But unforgiving formulas didn’t stop women in the ’60s from wearing bursts of color—a well-documented fact on the hit shot Mad Men where Christina Hendricks’ character, Joan, has perfected the poppy-red lip. “There’s something so optimistic about seeing a bright cherry pucker on a fair-skinned girl with red hair,” says Goodwin.

Move over Carrie Bradshaw, there’s a new woman taking Manhattan – Riley Kendrick. “Dirty Little Secret,” a new, graphic novel web series created in partnership ELLE and TRESemmé, follows six of NYC’s most connected women around the Big Apple.

The 10-part series, which premieres on May 25th, 2010, on ELLE.com/DirtyLittleSecret and the TRESemmé Facebook fan page (Facebook.com/tresemme), follows the new girl in town, aspiring hairstylist Riley Kendrick and her encounters with some of the most stylish and chic women in the fashion and beauty worlds. However, her “dirty little secret,” which begins as a harmless omission, spirals out of control, leading to a web of deception. The compelling drama also features real-life TRESemmé Celebrity Stylist, Jeanie Syfu. As we all know, some of the best-kept secrets are spilled in the salon chair and Jeanie has heard some scandalous ones this season.

“Dirty Little Secret” is directed by Mark Warshaw, producer of “Heroes: Evolutions,” the graphic novel and transmedia experience that incorporated storylines from the hit NBC drama. Warshaw and fellow Executive Producers, Tony Carenzo and Erin Carenzo are producing the project through their label Vine Intertainment, the production wing of The Alchemists Transmedia Storytelling Co. DLS marks the first collaborative writing project for Darin Mark and Rachel Mellon Choksey, each known for creating captivating storylines, witty female characters and compelling dialogue.

Animator & artist Annie Wu from WildStorm, also known for her work on the upcoming comic book series “The Liberators,” has created some of the most gorgeous hair and emotive faces with “Dirty Little Secret.” To add a fashion finishing touch, ELLE’s Fashion Director, Alexis Bryan Morgan styled the chic cast of characters drawing inspiration straight from the runways. Creative Artists Agency conceptualized and developed “Dirty Little Secret” for its client ELLE and helped assemble the multi- faceted creative team.“We’re thrilled to present ’Dirty Little Secret’, says US Marketing Manager for TRESemmé Jamie Schwab. “We want to engage and entertain women on their terms and this series has everything – scandals, style, and of course, great hair.”

The store What Goes Around Comes Around takes me (Marta Walsh) back to my New York University (NYU) years as a business student. I once bought my very favorite vintage blue bell bottom cords which I wore till I had holes in my pockets. I remember thinking I’m going to wear them till I’m 80. LOL

Hearing Elle Russia takes me back to the place I was born, the Former Soviet Russian Republic Georgia. I sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if my parents never left Russia. Maybe my name would be something like Marta Shalvovna and not Marta Walsh LOL (which really happens to be my Russian middle name). Enough about me, let’s talk Eva Mendes. Eva is one of my favorite Hollywood beauties. She reminds me of Raquel Welch another natural and classic beauty. The question is: Do YOU love?
