Fab Gift Guide: Party Girl

FabSugarUK — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:00:45 +0000

You've probably got one friend who you can always rely on to go out dancing. She'll be the one that's always up for hitting the town and the first on the dancefloor, she also probably already has an impressive party wardrobe. I know I have a friend like that, and I know she's not shy about wearing a few sequins!

This Christmas, why not embrace sequins with a fun accessory like these gold arm warmers (£16) or sequin ball earrings (£8). See below for some more party girl gift suggestions!

Get Marissa Miller's Victoria's Secret Makeup Look

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:16:00 +0000

Wowza! I've been checking out the photos from the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that took place in New York City last night and they are smoking h-o-t! The Angels are scantily clad in custom lingerie, dripping in accessories and have added five or so inch heels to their already lengthy legs.

But instead of feeling insecure, I just embrace their beauty and focus on their amazing hair (yes, they're all wearing extensions) and their dewy and sparkly-looking pink makeup.

To recreate this look at home, begin with a clean, hydrated and well moisutrised face. Then, apply a primer, followed by concealer to any red areas or spots, and medium-coverage foundation to the face, neck and decolletage. Next, dust a translucent setting powder all over and buff it to a natural finish by using a clean and fluffy brush.

To find out how you can achieve the rest of their makeup look at home, and to see more images of the models getting ready backstage, just read more.

CHEEKS: Although your skin is matte and prepped, all that you've created is a flawless canvas - and now it's time to have some fun! Add a liquid luminzer all over the face and blend into the foundation with a sponge for a dewy look. Next, apply a medium perky-pink blusher to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards and upwards toward your cheekbones.
EYES: Start by sweeping a pale and creamy champage shadow from the bottom of the lid all the way up to the brows (which by the way must be filled in and perfectly shaped). Then, using a windshield-wiping motion, apply a taupey-grey coloured shadow in the crease for depth and a slightly smoky look. Over the grey, add a touch of pink shadow and blend well. Curl your lashes and apply a powder liner to the upper and lower rims of your eyes. Lastly tack on a full set of false lashes followed by two coats of black mascara.
LIPS: The goal for this lip look is full, glossy and most of all...kissable! The colour should fall somewhere between a pale pink and a medium rose lipstick topped with oodles of shimmery and sheer pink gloss.

Love it or Hate it: Taylor Momsen at New Moon Premiere

FabSugarUK — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:00:44 +0000

Taylor Momsen really indulged in the gothic look at the New Moon premiere in New York last night. The Gossip Girl star wore a black lace dress with patent ankle boots and blood red lips. When I see Taylor all dressed up like this, I find it hard to believe that she's just 16 years old! What do you think of her red carpet look?
