Step 1: Lather Up Gently
Basic winter hair care starts with a gentle shampoo that won’t strip hair of moisture. Try to shampoo less than 3 times a week and use a dry shampoo in between washings. If you simply can’t part with a favorite shampoo or daily wash, blend two parts shampoo with one part conditioner for added moisture. If you’re ready for something new, try a conditioning treatment that has a mild foaming agent like my Brocato Constructor.

Summer 2009 Red Carpet Beauty Trends: This summer celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Giselle Bundchen and Hilary Duff all appear to have just stepped off the beach and onto the red carpet. Christina Zilber, make-up stylist and founder of Jouer Cosmetics teaches us easy ways to fake a healthy luminous look.

How To Get Healthy Luminous Skin: To protect skin from excess oil, Christina begins by using fingertips to apply Jouer Essential Matte Touch where needed. This botanical mattifier can be used under makeup or alone to purify skin and calm irritation, while firming and moisturizing with Vitamins C, D, & E.

The most important aspect to the celebrity look is flawless skin. Even out your complexion using the Jouer’s Luminizing Moisture Tint. This lightweight hydrating tint evens out imperfections and fades the appearance of fine lines. Rich SPF 20 protects from UVA and UVB rays while Ginseng and Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract deliver antioxidants to skin promoting a healthy complexion.

Follow by applying Jouer’s Mineral Powder Bronzer in “Suntan” for a golden bronze. Perfect for all skin tones, this oil-free mineral rich powder is loaded with Japanese Green Tea Powder and antioxidants to help protect skin throughout the summer months. Christina then recommends applying a light peach or pink blush to the apple of the cheek for a fresh, youthful glow.

Complete the look with a smooth beautiful finish by adding Jouer’s Age Repairing Perfector. This mineral age-repairing perfector enhances and evens out complexion while concealing the appearance of redness and other blemishes without the sensation of feeling heavy.

Get The Look:Grey Luxe, or grey and silver eye makeup, as seen on Kristen Stewart, Hilary Duff and Alicia Keys.

With summer parties in full swing, Modelinia.com (www.modelinia.com ) is here to give you tips on the hottest makeup trends. Grey and silver eye makeup work on all skin tones and can be seen on the runways of Marc Jacobs and Matthew Williamson and on celebrities like Kristen Stewart, Hilary Duff and Alicia Keys.

Johnny Lavoy, Maybelline’s resident makeup experts and the host of Modelinia.com’s series Get the Look, gives step by step instructions on how to get this classic look in this video.

 1. Sweep a light silver color across the eyelid. Go right up to the crease on the lid and stop where the crease starts and apply from the inside corner to where the lash line ends. Don’t forget to blend in because you never want to see when one color stops and the other color starts.

2. Create Depth- Move on to the crease color which should be a smokier charcoal grey. Start at the outer corner of the eye and work your way to the center.

3. Make them pop- Choose a lighter color- almost white- to highlight the brow. Brush the color under the brow bed and inner eye.

4. Line your eyes with a dark grey liner along the lash line and smudge it in so that it blends with the rest of the eye color.

5. Finish off with a black mascara and shiny lip.

 Johnny’s clients include JLo brand, Angie Everhart, Ethan Hawke, Rosie Perez and Laura Peron and his work has been seen in the pages of Vanity Fair, Elle, Glamour, Ocean Drive, Seventeen and Stuff.

Hilary Duff is on the cover of Maxim Magazine January 2009.

I love everything about Hilary Duff’s hair and makeup look on the cover of Maxim January 2009!

Hilary’s hair is parted in the middle, with big soft curls. This hair style reminds me of Marisa Miller’s hair style at her Victoria’s Secret photo shoots. In fact I describe Hilary Duff’s hairstyle as a Victoria’s Secret inspired hair style.

Hilary Duff’s makeup: Eyes are lined top with a black eye liner, and bottom with a purple eye liner. Peachy pink cheeks, and the perfect pink lipstick or lip gloss on the lips. All in all, Hilary Duff’s makeup look is soft and feminine.
