It’s time to dust off your classic red lipstick after a summer full of corals and nude glosses. This season, red lips are so hot and famous ladies are embracing their inner divas through juicy red lips. A pregnant Hillary Duff was glowing in red as she signed copies of her new book “Devoted” this month at a Barnes & Noble Bookstore in L.A.  Here’s how to wear the look: You will want to apply foundation all over your face first. Then add concealer to the outer corners of your mouth before applying lipstick.   Fill in lips with liner. Then apply a sultry red lipstick, blot, and add another layer of color. For more staying power, cover with a thin layer of tissue, then reapply and spray Skindinavia finishing spray all over face and lips.  Keep the rest of your makeup low key. When you rock the red lips make sure they stand out – Don’t overload on color everywhere—if you’re wearing a vibrant shade all you really need is mascara.

Go Spider-y without looking too Halloween!

Spider lashes are a major trend for fall and are a really fun, and easy, look to try. From runways to red carpets to pretty much anywhere, major lashes—like So You Think You Can Dance’s Cat Deeley’s—are a must. Whether you’re gluing on falsies or using a great mascara, always remember, the more dramatic, the better.

Here’s how to create Deeley’s sultry look:

1. First apply a layer of eye primer over your lashes, this will help you get more length and thickness.

2. Use a volumizing mascara like Big Fatty mascara by Urban Decay in the darkest black you can find. If you have an older mascara, use that one. The more air in the tube, the thicker the formula, therefore the quicker you will achieve the look. (If you have a new mascara, you can leave the top open while applying the rest of your makeup.)

3. When applying your mascara, start like you normally would by applying it to the base and working your way up. After a couple coats, turn your brush perpendicular and coat the top of your lashes for that added thickness.

4. Another way you can get the spider lash effect is by applying your mascara like you normally would and then take tweezers and clump your eyelashes yourself.

So whether you are looking for a great green eye makeup look or an option for your brown or blue eyes, this easy look compliments gals of all shades and colors. Don’t forget to finish with Skindinavia makeup finishing spray before applying these layers so that the rest of your look stays on all day!

Keri Hilson goes camo.

Keri Hilson rocked the red carpet wіth hеr bold green eye makeup. For the Billboard Music Awards 2011 the R&B diva sported a fusion of gold and green shades, emphasizing her best assets – her eyes.

To try Keri Hilson’s sexy, eye-enhancing look, start by using a deep emerald green eye pencil like Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide on Pencil in Covet to heavily line the upper and lower lash lines.

TIP: Apply foundation first so there isn’t any spaces around the eyes that are foundation-less!

Apply a matte eyeshadow 2-3 shades lighter than your skin tone in your brow bone area. Be sure to blend.

Next, smooth on a sheer shimmer gold shadow like Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure in the crease right under the brow bone.

Take a dark green satin eyeshadow and apply it to the lid with a blending brush. Blend in small, tight circular motions.

Take a gold shimmery eyeshadow and using either a pencil brush or the tip of your pinky, dot it in the inner corners of the eyes. This step is especially important if you have smaller eyes—the light shade helps to open them up more. Using a pencil brush, take the gold shadow and line the inner corners of the area right under your lashes. Then using the pencil brush again, line the rest of the perimeter of that area with the green shadow. Line your eyes with a black pencil. Apply 2-3 coats of mascara and finish with a makeup setting spray such as Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray to seal in makeup. If you want to go even bolder, add fake eyelashes!

Go jewel-toned like Hayden Panettiere!

As summer turns to autumn, eyes are getting smoky and dusty with metallics and deep gem-tone shades and with layers of lashes and defined brows.

Jewel toned eye shadow is one of the hottest beauty trends this season that will make heads turn. Although it’s best suited at night, it can also be worn during the day if applied minimally. This polished look opens the eyes and lights up the face and is the perfect makeup match for dark or neutral clothes.

It is best to pick colors that can be found on jewelry, such as blues, purples and greens. You can also achieve this look by mixing and matching different shades of bold colors. It’s all about having fun and playing with shades that bring out your features in the best possible way.

Hayden Panettiere is a perfect example of a girl who isn’t afraid of a little color. The actress paired her vivid orange-red dress with purple shadow which lined her lower lids. The best way to apply is to smudge eyeshadow on the eyelids from the corners to the crease and towards the arches of the eyebrows. Also, you can apply color to the lower lash line with colored eyeliner or eyeshadow.

January Jones' Crimson Pout

To add bombshell to any look, try out the newest beauty trend – a juicy crimson colored pout. One beauty who is known for this bold look is January Jones who sported it at the Golden Globes.

Red lips are a great way to add drama to an otherwise natural look.  They’re also perfect if you are looking to take a daytime look into nighttime. And don’t be scared if you have never tried red lips before; you can always start with a sheer lip shade.

For a look like January’s, fill in lips with a matte red pencil to bond the gloss to the mouth, keep it from bleeding, and give it some depth. Next, gently buff the penciled-in lips with a cotton swab to leave a sheer stain behind, and carefully brush a richly pigmented red lip gloss on top.

Pippa Middleton does big brows right!

If you’ve seen any recent catwalk pics you may have noticed that big brows are back! Well-groomed brows are the name of the game this summer but don’t go too thick or too thin.

Eyebrows are the most under-appreciated feature on your face with arguably the most impact, and we’re huge advocates of anything that supports our case against makeup excess. What better way to lighten the cosmetic load than to let your luscious brows be front and center?

The celebrity of the moment advocating the trend is Pippa Middleton is with her shapely eyebrows that frame her natural face.  Several other celebrities like Leighton Meester and Mary Kate Olsen are all growing out their thin caterpillars for hotter bushier eyebrows  – so don’t over-pluck just to fill it in with a layer of brow powder.

Take the time to shape your brows to get that perfect arch, and use a brow powder to accentuate your existing brows. Super-sculpted and shapely brows are also the perfect complement to some of this summer’s top eye makeup trends.

Peachy Perfect Kristen Bell

Freshen up your look with a tropical eye makeup look featuring peach tones and vibrant pinks!

Kristen Bell knows how to keep it au natural for summer with peach eyeshadow followed by a light apricot liner. By using a light colored pencil instead of your usual black or brown, your eyes will look brighter and natural!

To do, prime lids with concealer or foundation, then using a firm patting motion apply peach or beige eyeshadow all over the lid. Apply pink eyehshadow to the outside corners of the eyes in a horizontal v-shape and blend well into the crease.

Line 3/4′s of the upper lashline with a dark kohl pencil and smudge. Finish off with mascara and don’t forget a quick mist of Skindinavia’s No More Shine Makeup Finishing as your setting spray for makeup that lasts all day!

Diane Kruger goes summer sultry!

Diane Kruger’s sultry smoky brown eye is a main-stay staple for every gal on the go – and its an easy option that’ll highlight your bronzed summer skin.

Especially great for blondes, this look enhances the eyes and can be worn night or day. Her eyes are subtle, yet sculpted with a taupe shadow that she swept along the brow bone.

1. Begin by carefully lining the top and bottom of the eyes with a dark brown liner. Soften the lines by gently smudging with a fingertip or cotton swab.
2. Line the top and bottom of the eyes next with a matte brown eye shadow using a small brush. Stay close to the eyes, and blend out toward the crease. The color should be in a chocolate or lighter cocoa color. Stay away from red- or pink-toned browns which might give you a sickly look and highlight the red in your eyes.
3. Dust the eyelid with a lighter color. Look for a shimmery shadow in gold.
4. Finish with volumizing waterproof mascara on the eyelashes.
5. Use softer shades of makeup on the lips and cheeks so nothing will compete with the dramatic eyes. Soft and light nude shades look best.

Leesha, AKA xSparkage, creates video tutorials that are easy enough for the everyday gal!

YouTube beauty guru, Leesha, also known as xSparkage, knows a thing or two about makeup meltdowns. Her secret weapon? Skindinavia’s makeup setting sprays.

“Not only do they set your makeup and keep everything in place, but they’re also super refreshing for days that are near boiling points,” she says.

Leesha’s crush on cosmetics began in the heart of all things beauty: Hollywood. On vacation in L.A. while in high school, Leesha visited the MAC Pro Store where her friend’s aunt worked as a makeup artist.

“I remember first walking in to the store and being completely blown away with everything,” she says. “The makeup, the colors, the beautiful sales associates.”

From there, Leesha checked out some online makeup communities to hone her skills. As the brain—and beauty—behind xSparkage, Leesha shares advice with thousands of girls. But she says it came as a total surprise when she became a YouTube sensation, receiving hundreds of comments and thousands of views the same day she posts a new video.

“I think the best part of sharing beauty tips is when I receive emails from guys and girls who tell me how much I have helped them improve their look,” she explains, “it’s so cool that I’m able to teach so many people, and have them tell me that what I do has helped them personally.”

The biggest mistake people make, she says, is forgetting to be sanitary with their cosmetics. She recommends cleaning brushes regularly and purchasing powder puffs twice a month to avoid major breakouts from oily tools.

Her favorite look? A dark kohl – and long-lasting! – eyeliner look. For a night out, she dips her eyeliner pencil in a matte black gel liner before tracing her waterline. “It makes the liner super dark and stays hour longer than a black eyeliner pencil on its own,” she exclaims, “and it’s really easy to apply!”
