Eyebrow Shaping and Makeup Tutorial Video

By popular demand, here is a video on how I do my eyebrows! I will show you how I pluck and trim my brows, as well as how I fill them in using brow powder. This is purely for reference only, and as I said in the video, if you have never done anything to your brows before, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a beautician or makeup artist to help you out first!

(excuse the no-makeup scary-face by the way :p)

Link Love (with Some Commentary)

Do you read Jezebel? I am fairly obsessed with the mix of semi-serious and pop-culture content with a healthy dose of feminism mixed in. The comment threads regularly leave me busting up with laughter, especially when ladies get on a tear about hunky, male celebrities.

At any rate, this week the kind Jezebels have been running a series on Beauty 101 after soliciting feedback from readers on

Beautiful Mandy Moore Hairstyles

When we first met Mandy Moore, she was in our CD players singing us through our teenage years. Now, the grown up Mandy Moore has discovered acting. We have seen in her excellent films such as “Because I Said So” and “Saved”. As we have watched her grow into a young woman, we have watched her style change as well. take a look at the different hairstyles that we have seen Mandy in.

At first, Mandy was just a young strawberry blonde girl who possessed the gift of singing. Now, we find her on the silver screen, the same hair color is there as well. Mandy prefers to wear her hair longer. In the move “How to Deal” however, we did see her with a cute short cut. This cut was very close to a cut that celebrity Ashley Judd had for awhile. There are short layers and the hair stacks on top of each other. This is a great style if you have thinner hair.

Mandy typically parts her hair down the middle. Because her hair is longer, she does have some longer layers put in there. This adds some body as well and gives the hair some more life. The last thing that you want is long, flat hair. That would simply be no fun at all. The only product you would need to finish a style such as this would be hair spray.

2010 Short Choppy Pixie Hairstyles

If you ought to get a short and sassy hairstyle, the choppy pixie may be a hot option for you! This season short pixie crops are worn messy with lots of texture. You can easily take a pixie haircut from everyday wash-and-wear to a serious style statement! Wear it choppy and messy during the day, and glam it up for the evening wearing it sleek with a '40s side parting.

A super short choppy pixie hairstyle is not for the faint hearted – you'll need confidence to pull off the look, as well as delicate features. But if you don't have elfin features, a short pixie haircut can be tailored to suit most of the face shapes adding bangs or longer layers at the top.

For heart-shaped faces, short crops with volume will balance out the narrowing face. Contrary to popular belief, square shaped faces can suit short haircuts, but be sure to keep the edges of the style soft as this breaks up the strong lines of the square face. Oval faces shapes can pretty much pull off any short hairstyles.

Choosing The Best Long Layered Hairstyles

Long layered hairstyles are a favorite look for long, straight hair. Long layered hairstyles frame your face and show off the silky locks at the same time. Twist the ends of the hair with a straightening iron (not a curly iron) to achieve a gentle curve at the ends of your hair.

Long layered hairstyles for girls are popular because they are versatile. Layered long haircuts can be worked to look professional, casual or glamorous. Styles range from short to long hair, wavy, or straight in any startling.
