How To Get Leighton Meester’s Makeup Look. Leighton Meester aka Blair off Gossip Girl always has a glowing look to her complexion. Ever wonder what makeup she uses to get that radiant glow? Look below to find out how.

* Cheeks: Give yourself a burst of glowing color on the cheeks with a creamy-textured blush. I like Avon Be Blushed Cheek Color in Tropical Peach ($6).
* Lips: Add a little spice to your lips with a soft, warm shade with orange undertones. Try Stila Lip Glaze in Cinnamon ($22) or CoverGirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers Lip Gloss in Tangerine Splash ($5).
* Eyes: Apply a glittery or shimmery copper shadow to the lids, such as Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Chopper ($16). Next, apply a rich brown shadow to the crease and blend, using this same shade to lightly line around the eyes for emphasis. Try L’Oreal Wear Infinite Single Eye Shadow in Deep Mocha ($4.25). Add a little brownish-black mascara, and you’ll be good to go.

Alexis Grace Hair Color Pink Tips. While Alexis Grace may no longer be a contest on American Idol can I just say how much I adore her hair color. I always love it when the mix of pink and blonde come together and create a great stylish look. She has a wonderful voice and hopefully we can see more from Alexis in the future.

MAC Hello Kitty Collection. Guess what, ladies?  The Cut mentioned months ago that a MAC and Hello Kitty collection may have been in the works and Women’s Wear Daily just officially broke that the new MAC collaboration with this cute kitty will hit stores and counters in the United States on February 12, 2009!!

What’s even bigger is that our very own Jeannie was able to get a sneak peak at the collection a couple of days ago and hear all about it straight from top MAC collaborators, James Gager (Sr. VP and Creative Director), Jennifer Balbier (Sr. VP of Product Development) and Gordon Espinet (VP of Makeup Artistry).

But while we can’t spill all the beans on the goodies she saw just yet, here’s a first look into what you’ll see from the collection straight from the WWD article online:

The Hello Kitty offerings fall into two collections: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture.

The bulk of the items are in the former category: six shades of lipstick with names like Fashion Mews and Strayin’, each $14; six Lipglass shades, each $14; and two tinted lip conditioners, $14.50 each; two eye shadow palettes, which each contain four shades and retail for $38; two shades of pigment are $19.50 each, and two Reflects Glitter stockkeeping units — one blue, one pink — are $17.50 each. Four Glitter Eye Liners, each $16.50, two shades of Beauty Powder, each $22; three shades of nail polish, each $11; a black mascara, $12, and false lashes, $12, round out the color offerings. Shades range from pinks and turquoises to lavenders and greens.

Hello Kitty Kouture is intended to be the high end of the collection. Two shades of Dazzleglass, each $28, each feature a reusable silver chain pendant with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals on black with a pink crystal bow. Sheer Mystery Powder, $90 and available in three shades, is packaged in a silver powder compact with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals with a pink crystal bow on a black background.

Hello Kitty Colour Collection will be available in stores and on counters while Hello Kitty Kouture will be available at MAC stores and at maccosmetics.com only.   So mark your calendars, ladies, because this collection might be an even bigger hit than MAC’s Barbie collabo from two years ago.

Get the Look: Alicia Keys at the Keep a Child Alive Black Ball

Alicia Keys rocked space-age silver eyes at the 5th annual Keep a Child Alive Black Ball on November 13. She’s a co-founder of this charity. Go Alicia!

Celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff created Alicia’s dramatic-yet-sophisticated look for the event. “I wanted to make Alicia look a little more sophisticated and grown compared to years before,” said Sheriff.

Here’s Ashunta Sheriff’s breakdown of Alicia’s look:

“I made her complexion a radiant and creamy beige using DermaBlend Quick Stix in Natural to conceal eyes and then sprayed DiorSkin AirFlash Spray Foundation in 400 for a flawless finish. Then I set makeup with Black Opal Invisible Oil Blotting Control Powder.

I wanted to focus on her eyes since she would be performing for two hours so I used Dior Eye Show in White Disco as a base, then layered using the Dior 5-Colour Eye Palette in Moonlight.

I finished the look with three coats of DiorShow Iconic Mascara in black and Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Oil Slick. I used an entire pack of Shu Uemura’s individual lashes to create volume and length. Finally, I used Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Linen Beige on the lips.”

Holiday Gift Guide: Teens. Holiday Gift Ideas for Teens

I realize there’s a huge difference between a 13-year old’s likes and those of an 18-year old, so rather than grasp at straws I based this gift guide on the preferences of someone right in between: my 15-year old cousin B.

Vera Wang Princess Sparkling Creme Perfume ($38) I would have been all over this 10 years ago. Alas, am unquestionably an adult now. Boo.

MAC Little Darlings 5 Pink Lipglass & Lustreglass ($29.50) Who wouldn’t love 5 mini lippies from MAC? This set has Fleur Delight, Song and Dance, and Magnetique Lipglass, and Flashmode and Little Vi Lustreglass. If the girl on your list isn’t the pink type, there are also sets in Coral and Neutral.

Sephora Ultimate Blockbuster ($48) For a young girl just starting out her collection, it’s a dream come true. 71 eyeshadow shades, 13 cream eyeshadow shades, 5 blushes, 1 compact powder, 60 lip glosses, one lip liner, one eyeliner, 4 brushes, and 3 sponge-tipped applicators. Whew.

Lancome Juicy Tubes Holiday Set ($39.50) Eight mini JTs in some pretty impressive shades, including several limited editions: Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Spring Fling, Juicy Tubes Jelly in Grand Cafe Creme Brulee (limited edition), Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Simmer, Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Fifth Avenue Frosting, Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Ginger Palace (limited edition), Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Maharani Jewels (limited edition), Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Pink Horizon, and Juicy Tubes Smoothie in Sun Bro.

L’Occitane Hand Indulgences Hand Cream Trio ($25) One each of Lavender, Cherry Blossom, and original Shea Butter, housed in a pretty little box. My cousin B loves these, and I’m sure she can’t be the only one!

Aquolina Pink Sugar Luxury Gift Set ($95) I’m not the biggest fan of Pink Sugar, but it’s a huge seller and this set would make a Pink Sugar enthusiast very, very happy. Includes 8.45 oz Perfumed Massage Oil, a 1.7 oz Eau de Toilette Spray, a 3.38 oz Hair Perfume, a 8.45 oz Body Mousse, and a 6.76 oz Glossy Body Scrub. (Wait. Why does body scrub have to be glossy?)

Harajuku Lovers Solid Coffret ($60) These are just so cute, I want them for myself. Solid perfume versions of all five Harajuku Lovers fragrances: Love, Angel, Music, Baby, and G.

Philosophy The Cookie Exchange ($30) Four delicious 3-in-1’s from Philosophy: Chocolate Chip Cookie, Oatmeal Raisin, Snickerdoodle, and Sugar Cookie. Almost as good as the real thing!

Bare Escentuals Tutorials - The Rocker Eye ($38) 95% of teenagers at the mall seem to be sporting the black-rimmed eye! This kit from Bare Escentuals takes it up a notch and helps create a really gorgeous smokey rocker eye. Much, much better than a thick circle of Blacktrack, and more fun, too.
