Gywneth Paltrow’s honey blonde color is the most asked for by colorists in Coral Gables, FL. Red is the color of choice in Phoenix, AZ - Amy Adam’s deep strawberry blonde long locks serves as an inspiration for many clients. Bostonians keep it classic with Audrey Tautou’s medium brown hair. Dallas, TX girls love Jessica Biel’s unique caramel color. It’s a subtle way to lighten dark hair, and really compliments a golden Texas tan! Sienna Miller’s dirty blonde hair is most popular in Portland, OR. Colorists says clients prefer to keep it natural with a golden blonde shade instead of platinum. You would think California girls would prefer blonde color - but Anne Hathaway’s dark brown hair is the most requested color.

Christina Aguileras Favorite Makeup

celeb2008 — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:04:22 GMT

Christina Aguilera gave a great interview to InStyle magazine abotu her favorite makeup and her beauty routine. Christina has always been known to have a love for makeup, and is rarely ever seen without having a full face on. Her ‘Can’t Live Without’ Product: Dior Abricot Nutritional Creme “I rub this all over my lips and cuticles at night.” Christina’s Top 6 Beauty Picks 1. Davines Momo Conditioner “This has a good, thick texture and really feels like it’s getting in.” 2. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer “I like makeup that doesn’t dry out my skin.” 3. Dior Rouge Lipstick “Whenever I’m in the studio, even if I’m wearing sweatpants, I have my red lipstick on.” 4. Decleor Aromessence Ylang Ylang Night Balm “Moisturizing is big for me.” 5. Inspire by Christina Aguilera “It’s a combination of all my favorite scents.” 6. MAC Eye Shadow in Smoke & Diamonds “Love these shadows. I have a lot of colors.” Here is the full interview: You seem to have fun with hair and makeup. When did that start? I’ve aways been a girlie girl. I used to sit at my mom’s vanity and play with her perfume and lipstick. I’ve had a love affair with makeup since Day1. Your new fragrance, Inspire, is due out this month. Tell us about it. I wanted to put my own flavor into it so it’s all about radiating sex appeal but still feeling comfortable in your own skin. The combination of tuberose, freesia and gardenia definitely has a musky, provocative vibe. Do you think women should wear perfume every day? Absolutely! Pregnancy made my nose very sensitive to different smells - especially the way other people smell. And you never know when you’ll be in a room with someone who has a nose like that, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. How else has mothrehood affected your beauty routine? Maybe mothers have less time to do specific regimens, but they have this glow about them because they’re so happy on the inside. My little guy [Max, 7 months] lights up my whole world. What about the odd beauty indulgence? I’m not really big on crazy expensive treatments; I like to go pretty basic and take care of my skin. How would you describe your look? With every record I put out, I make a drastic change. I like to try new things and not take myself too seriously. Source: InStyle Magazine

Eva Longoria showed of a shorter, new haircut - but her rep says she’s cut it for reasons you may not think. According to her personal rep, Eva is reflecting a change in her on-screen character Gabrielle — who goes from her usual sex kitten to an over-worked housewife with kids in season five. “She’s making herself look like that as her character has let herself go. Gabrielle has gained weight and cut her hair,” Liza Anderson tells PEOPLE of Longoria Parker’s character. I’m not buying this - don’t actresses wear wigs? Last season’s ending of Desperate Housewives was one of the best season endings ever, but I didn’t expect them to pick up where they left off.
