We all know that sunscreen is the key to healthy, gorgeous skin — but sometimes, applying it can feel like an extra step. If you frequently forget to wear SPF, turn to an all-in-one moisturizer that both hydrates and protects. You'll stave off premature signs of aging, keep your skin soft, and save time in your morning routine. These three have excellent textures (no chalky or greasy feel!), are rated SPF 30, and are bound to be among your favorites.

Lily Collins was the fairest of them all at the Mirror Mirror premiere. (Tied with Julia Roberts, that is.) Not only did Lily's pearly complexion glow, her red lips were also reminiscent of Snow White's favorite forbidden fruit. Kayleen McAdams, the makeup artists who created this look, framed Lily's eyes with a glittering green-grey shadow and topped it all off with a blast of bright color on her lips.

Why Taking Jennifer Lawrence Brunette Required $30,000 of Hair


Updated 03/20/12 1:15 PM · Posted by BellaSugar · 0 comments

Taking Jennifer Lawrence from blonde to brunette was a pricey process — one involving $30,000 worth of hair, to be precise. Linda Flowers, Head Hair Designer for The Hunger Games, reveals this, the origins of Effie's curls and the story of Katniss's braid in our Q&A. From finger-curled wigs to Technicolor hues, the movie promises almost as much beauty inspiration as it does drama. Watch for a sneak peek at what to expect ahead of the movie's release this week.

Pantene Goes Back to the '80s in This Funny or Die Flick


Updated 03/20/12 10:10 AM · Posted by BellaSugar · 0 comments

Pantene is going retro in more ways than one. The hair care brand is bringing back some of its discontinued products, and it's simultaneously heading back to the '80s in this Funny or Die video. Catch allusions to movies like Risky Business, Working Girl, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club (oh, Molly Ringwald!). And no all-in-one movie spoof could exclude beauty trends of the past like big hair, feather headbands, and over-the-top blush. Now all we need to make our '80s nostalgia complete is a pair of fingerless gloves and a Walkman.

Julia Roberts' Secret for Wearing Dark Eyeshadow During the Day


Updated 03/19/12 3:42 PM · Posted by BellaSugar · 0 comments

Julia Roberts may play the evil stepmother in the latest Snow White adaptation Mirror Mirror, but her makeup was less than loathsome at the premiere. Makeup artist Genevieve Herr created a subtle daytime eye look that works just as well at the office as it did on the red carpet. To start, Herr applied Lancôme Liner Design in Indigo Darling (a navy blue hue) to the top lash line. By applying liner before shadow, she achieved a less stark line that goes well with a more relaxed daytime look. Next, Herr used a light-reflecting shadow in the inner corners to create the illusion of bright and open eyes. This shimmery shadow was blended with a darker plum shade that covered Julia's outer lid. (Both shades are from the Color Design Quad in Twirling in Tulle.) By mixing a luminescent shadow with a matte darker hue, Herr created a polished eye look that's ideal for daytime — and doesn't take much to update for night.
