Sugar and spice and everything nice—MAC is delivering once again with its new collection titled Sugar Sweet. The collection is set to release on March 19, 2009. This collection is sweet for a few different reasons.

First of all, the collection has shadesticks! If you’ve never had the chance to use a MAC shadestick, you are going to want to try one now. A shadestick is a smooth a rich eye shadow in the sleek format of a stick. It brings a whole new dimension to eye shadow application. I love the shadestick and I can’t wait to try the Red Velvet color.

The collection line also includes regular eye shadow, lipstick, tricolor lipglass, mascara, nail polish, mineralize skinfinish, and false eyelashes. It really is a pretty complete collection of everything you would need to create a finished look. I think one of the most intriguing things in the collection is the tricolor lipglass.

This lipglass isn’t just one tone, it includes three different colors. My first thought was that three colors might be too much, but then I thought of how many times MAC has presented something that didn’t look fantastic; it is definitely a rare occasion. I will wait until it comes out to make a final decision, but for now, I will continue to be intrigued. Everything that is rumored to be in the collection is listed below. If we learn of anything else, we will be sure to update the list.

Freida Pinto is The New Look For Estee Lauder

Freida Pinto is everywhere you look! She was in the front-row at Dolce & Gabbana and is being wholeheartedly embraced by the fashion world, the movie industry, and now they say even the ever so picky Woody Allen. But the Beauty community is wanting their piece of her as well; the Slumdog Millionaire star is rumored to be in talks with Estée Lauder to become a spokesperson for the brand. Details have yet to be confirmed, but her contract would no doubt be pretty large.

Here's the question, do you think Frieda is a well-suited choice for Estée Lauder or would you like to see her endorsing another make-up brand? Leave me your answer in the comments. Personally, I think of Estee Lauder as an older person's makeup... I would love to see her with Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, MAC, even NARS or Bobbie Brown maybe?? Ooooh think of her as the new face of Louis Vuitton - now that would be amazing.

Freida Pinto Has The Look Of The Day

MAR 3, 2009

Our Pick

FREIDA PINTO in Dolce & Gabbana

Pinto continued her winning style streak at the Dolce & Gabbana show in an embellished minidress from the designers. The Slumdog Millionaire star chose a runway look from the Spring 2009 collection.

Freida Pinto's Oscar Hair Updo - Do It Yourself

Celebrity stylist, Jeffrey Paul, created a fresh and elegant red carpet hair look for Frieda Pinto. Radiant in John Galliano, Pinto’s hair is divided into three parts and twisted back into an architectural, couture flower shape on the right side of the head. “This look has a beautiful architecture; hair is twisted back into a youthful, feminine flower shape that complements Frieda’s face shape and stunning Galliano gown.” Here’s how to get Pinto’s look:

Start with Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Shampoo and Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Clay Conditioner.

Mix a cocktail of Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam and Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip. Work the product into wet hair to add texture and volume. “When creating an updo, it’s important to use products that give thickness and body,” said Paul. “Pinto’s hair already has a lot of shine. The cocktail of Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam and Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip provided just the right amount of hold, body and texture without weighing hair down.”

--Blow dry hair back to add lift and height at the roots.

--Create a left side part and divide hair into three sections: three quarters of hair in one section on the right and the remaining hair into two smaller sections.

--Pull the right section of hair back into a low ponytail just behind the right ear above the nape of the neck.

--Twist the ponytail, working Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip into hair. Wrap the ponytail around the base, creating a flower shape. Secure in place with pins.

--Work Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip into each of the remaining sections and twist back and around the flower shape, creating a layered, rose-like effect. “The three twists flow together for beautiful movement,” said Paul.

--Finish the look with Aveda Air Control Hair Spray.

--Lastly, shake the head a bit to loosen up the look and provide a sense of natural movement.

--VOILA!

Make-up Artist Jeffrey Paul on Freida Pinto

Makeup artist Jeffrey Paul (who works with Dior) works with her (and does her hair)... Here are his thoughts on his dream client:

"Freida Pinto is the changing face of beauty. She has what every girl dreams of: big eyes, beautiful eyebrows, high cheekbones and a smile that lights up the room. In India, black eyeliner called kohl is almost an everyday staple. I think some of the trends we're going to start to see more of, inspired by this Bollywood beauty and actresses like Freida, are black eyeliner, colorful eyes, large eyelashes, liner on the inside of the eyes, shimmery natural lips, warmed complexions, long, silky hair and high ponytails."

“We’re doing a monochromatic, nomadic woman,” said M.A.C Cosmetics makeup artist James Kaliardos, who added that “Sudanese women” inspired the beauty look at Diane von Furstenberg Sunday afternoon.

“We’re shading the face with natural tones,” he said, “and there’s a round, light, smoky eye.” He applied a M.A.C Omega Eye Shadow hue to top and bottom eyelids to lend rounded definition to the eyes. On the cheeks, he went with a M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Pearl and brushed M.A.C Malt Eye Shadow onto the edges of the lips “to kind of finish off [the face].

Aishwarya Rai is the Main Villain in Pink Panther 2

Contraty to the rumours, Aishwarya Rai is not playing a cameo in Pink Panther 2, rather she would be seen in a siezable chunk of the film's climax as the main villain.

If grapevine is to be believed, Ash who's playing criminology expert in the film will turn out to be actually the person behind the theft of Pink Panther diamond.

According to rumours, the actress plays a seductress in the film who deceives Steve using her beauty and charm. The film is all set to release on February 27 in India.

Aishwarya Rai Fashion Profile

Aishwarya Rai Fashion Profile
Former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai is considered by many to be THE most beautiful woman in the world. Let's see how she dresses.

Aishwarya once said in an interview "I wear what is comfortable." That being said I know that this former Miss World still holds a high reguard for fashion. Her favorite designer is Neeta Lulla who designed her wedding dress and her costumes for a number of films.

Whether she dresses for the Cannes Film Festival, a movie premier or just a stroll down the street, Ash combies grace with sex appeal. She is flawless in every sense of the word. Whether she wears an evening gown, a sari, or a casual pair of jeans, she exuberates elegance. By far my favorite indian fashion icon...
