Celebrity Skin

Ever wonder how the fabulous women of hollywood always happen to look so fresh faced and glowing on the red carpet? Well it isn't by chance, and Allure.com has put together a list of tips and tricks that will help all of us achieve the radiant glow all year long. 

Here are a few of the tips we love. See the complete list here. 

Bronze Powder: 

Apply over fresh moisturizer and even out with your hands. 

Allure recommends: L'oreal Glam Bronze Powder

Exfoliate: 

Try not to use anything too harsh, and an easy home recipe is to mix a half a cup of olive oil with a cup of sugar and rub in circular motions right after a shower.

Allure recommends: Brown Sugar Body Polish, by Fresh

Body Oil:

Oil can add a beautiful sheen to your skin, but can be very messy, easily over applied and can get on clothing. Try an oil infused body balm instead.

Allure recommends: Bathina, by Benifit

Illuminate:

Apply a body illuminator that has a soft iridescence, not glitter.

Allure recommends: Guerlain Terracotta Huile du voyageur nourishing dry oil tan intensifier

Highlight:

Highlighting the right parts of the body, just like the face, add a great subtle effect. Apply to Collarbone, Shoulders, shins, tops of thighs, and forearms.

Allure recommends: Mally Beauty Perfect Prep Body Slimmer

Fall Hair

Courtesy of the fabulous folks over at Allure, here are 10 Fall hairstyle ideas taken from the hottest runways that are easy, and fun to try this fall season! 

The Loose braid: As seen on Lanvin and Pucci Runways. Use a texturizing cream before roughly blowing dry and begin the braid at the nape of the neck, leaving the front pieces loose. 

The Low Pony: Ralph Lauren, Prada, Balmain. Spray a light hold hairspray onto straightened hair. Pull hair back to the nape of the neck, and spritz with a glossing spray for added shine. 

 Glam Waves: Oscar De La Renta, Marc by Marc Jacobs. After blow drying your hair, sleek and straight, tuck the two front pieces behind the ear, securing with bobby pins. Then Using a curling iron, curl the ends of the hair from the nape of the neck down. Spray all over with hairspray.

The loose bun: Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana.  This is one of our favorites! For the look above create a low side part, and mist with hairspray. Pull hair into a low side pony below the ear, and tease. Then braid the last two inches of the ponytail and tie with a hairband. Then roll the entire thing into a ball and secure loosely using bobby pins.

Half Up: Nina Ricci, Miu Miu, Giambattista Valli. Apply a blow dry serum to the bottom half of your hair, and a volumizing mousse to the crown before blow drying. Curl your entire head, part down the center and tease at the roots. Pull one inch sections back from above the ear and secure loosely. 

Rumpled Texture: Marni, Balmain, Chloe. The simplest hairstyle of the season, and easily compared to Kate Moss' signature look, this is one for the days when there is limited hairstyling time. Spritz the crown of your head with water, and mess the top with your hands. Create a center part and pull back at the name of the neck.

Hair Accessories: Chanel, Valentino, Rodarte, Prada, Nina Ricci. Add a bit of flair with embellished headbands, scarves, simple plain headbands, or even barrettes.

Pop of Color: Parabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Haider Ackerman. If you aren't ready to make the leap into officially dying your own locks, you can opt for brightly colored extentions, like the ones seen here on the Parabal Gurung runway.

Intentional Frizz: Gucci. Dig out that crimper! (We know you still have one) After sleeking back the top portion of the hair, and securing in a tight , low pony; crimp the ponytail and backcomb.

Deep Side Part: Blow dry hair to a sleek finish, and part deeply on the side, bringing the hair over the forehead and one eyebrow. You can gather loosely at the nape of the neck into a pony tial, or a loose bun. Tweet
