The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

Julia Roberts is still as beautiful as ever at 42, and she maintains a very natural look and appears to not have had any surgical enhancements. Julia shared her thoughts on beauty and her most favorite beauty products with InStyle magazine.

On being the spokeswoman for Lancome:
The whole idea of modeling in my 40’s is fun and modern. I’m more secure in who I am today. Also, Lancome is a company whose products I have used and enjoyed for a long time.

On her favorite makeup look:
I love eyeliner. I always think if I put enough on, I’ll turn into Sophia Lauren.

On coloring her hair:
I thought I was so clever doing my own color for a while, until it actually came out purple!

One enhancement she’ll never do:
Lip enhancements (why should she have to with those lips!)

Of course, being a Lancome spokeswoman, the majority of the makeup she uses everyday is Lancome, here’s what she uses:

1. Lancome Le Crayon Khol eyeliner in Black Ebony, $25
2. Lancome L’Absolu Rough lipstick in Coquette and Rich Cashmere, $29 each
3. Lancome Color Design eye shadow in the New Black, $17
4. Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Teinte moisturizer in Bisque, $45
5. Lancome Color Design blush in Creme Couture, $27
6. Lancome Definicils Precious Cells mascara, $29

Twilight’s Ashley Greene is one of the most beautiful girls to come along in the recent years. I love her coloring and her natural beauty. You can tell she uses only a few makeup products to play up her natural beauty. Here’s what she uses:

Brows

Ashley says she’s obsessed with having perfect brows, and she goes to brow guru Anastasia in Beverly Hills. She was taught to brush her brows down to enhance the shape and use powder across the top, then brush up again. Great tip!

Makeup

Since Ashley says they film in HD and have to use a lot of foundation to create the illusion of perfect skin, she likes to skip foundation on her days off. She only wears concealer and bronzer on her cheeks and forehead for a natural sunkissed look.

Ashley uses Mark's Glowdacious Illuminating Powder, $12

Lips

Ashley learned a great makeup trick on set which she uses everyday: Line your lips with a pencil that’s the same shade as your natural lip color, then use Cherry Chapstick in the middle. You wind up with a natural reddish lip but it looks like you’re not wearing anything.

Skin

Since Ashley has to wear a lot of makeup when filming, she needs to remove layers and layers of makeup at the end of the day. Ashley says the best way to do this is by using a cleansing oil with hot towels (not too hot!).

The ladies of the Real Housewives of New Jersey are slimming down, and they’ve dished their weight loss secrets to Ok! magazine. Being in an Italian family makes it difficult to stay skinny when there is so much delicious food around! Teresa Giudice, Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita (pictured above) have all found their own ways to maintain their figure and enjoy all that their culture’s food has to offer.

Teresa and Jacqueline both had pregnancy weight to lose after gaining a combined total of 85 lbs. Teresa wrote her own cookbook titled Skinny Italian, which she shares recipes for lighter Italian eating – mostly avoiding fried foods and creamy sauces with butter. Teresa says she bakes her meatballs instead of frying in oil.

Jacqueline said she tried a meal plan after giving birth, and lost 12 lbs, but she didn’t want to stick to a regimented diet. She instead tried an old fashion diet trick – drinking 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar with a teaspoon of blue agave nectar syrup with lemon juice. This remedy cleanses your system and speeds up weight loss – plus it’s all natural.

Caroline slimmed down by eliminating soda and only having treats like cheese and pasta on occassion and when she does have it, she doesn’t have to finish it all. Caroline drinks water all the time and snacks on berries, fresh tomatoes (New Jersey has the best!) with basil on flat bread.

With 9 children between the 3 ladies, there isn’t much time for working out – but Jacqueline tries to squeeze in quick routines by doing lunges in the kitchen and walking with her baby around the neighborhood.

Kim Kardashian is featured on the cover of the September 2010 issue of Allure magazine where she discussed her makeup, beauty and fitness routines. Kim says makeup is her life, and her father enrolled her in beauty school at the age of 14 so she would learn how to properly apply makeup.

Everyday Kim uses PerfectSkin on her face, and Johnson’s Baby Lotion on her body.

For her makeup, Kim always has her favorite products by her side – M.A.C. Zoom Mascara and Blot Film. She also always uses Makeup For Ever HD Foundation and Powder and La Mer The Lip Balm.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford has maintained her beauty and her body throughout the years. Her secret trick to dieting is what she calls an 80/80 diet.

Cindy says she eats 80% good, 80% of the time. It seems to be working great for her – and it sounds like a great way to stay slim and not deny yourself of everything.

In the morning Cindy says she likes to start out with a protein shake or oatmeal, so she’s at least had one health meal.

Big brows are back and Fergie has a secret trick to making her skinny brows grow back in. She uses the eyelash lengthener, Lastisse.

Does it really work? Here’s a quote from Dr. Marc Cohen:

Latisse is only FDA approved for use on the upper eyelashes.  However it is legal and safe to use Latisse on the eyebrows.  In my experience it works well for most people.  Be careful to apply the Latisse only to the area with the brow hairs.  Latisse can temporarily darken the skin so you should be careful not to get the medication on other areas of your skin.
