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!).

Celebs are go green with the latest nail trend, Green polish! Stars like Beyonce, Annalynne McCord (above), Alexis Bedel and Rihanna are painting their nails with shades from mint green to olive green.

You can copy the trend yourself with these shades the celebs are probably wearing:

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.

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.

Supermodel Elle Macpherson shared with People magazine her secret to sexy, beach hair. For her sun kissed highlights Elle lets her hair get lightened naturally by the sun, and she also visits Real Hair in London for highlights. Elle says she prefers to not ruin the quality of her hair with hair dye, so she does her best to protect the color with Frederic Fekkai conditioner.

To further protect her hair and scalp Elle always wears a straw hat (this also protects her face, preventing premature wrinkles).

To get that “just out of the ocean” tousled look Elle says she doesn’t brush her hair much.

The salt water in Bumble & Bumble’s Surf Spray is a great styling aid.
