Sometimes in Beauty, we get all caught up in buying the next
expensive product and trying the next complex hair do and facial
mask that we forget about the basics. In the beauty market, the
basics are simple, but complex to perfect just like any other
beauty regime: you must have the perfect foundation that blends
with your skin and fits your needs, with the specific coloring and
moisturizing properties to fit your skin tone and type directly.
You must also have the basic lip moisturizer and coloring for your
daily go-to coloring (which is fun to play around with, but you
should always have a soft pink color with a little gloss to be the
standard beauty style). A complicated basic that many of us forget
and often leave to the last minute: eyeshadow. How do you blend the
perfect eyeshadow?...

When a pop star performs in a crazy outfit and outrageous hair,
it's just part of their act. So when Katy Perry wore a lavender wig
in her video for the song "California Gurls," we didn't consider it
a serious beauty statement. Then we noticed Rihanna recently taking
the stage with her short hair dyed a Kool-Aid red, another daring
color choice. This week, actress Juliette Lewis showed up to the
premiere of the movie The Switch sporting royal-blue hair and dark
black roots. Um...now we have to ask: What's up with the
cartoon-colored hair? Is it just a music-scene thing (Juliette
Lewis is also a singer), or are these technicolor tresses totally
cool in real life? If you're feeling tempted to have an extreme
hair color moment, you can easily experiment with one single
