Kim Kardashian And Christina Aguilera Have Something In common

Questionable-looking eyebrows.

I'm not even going to start on Christina's orange skin or Kim's overuse of furry animals as eyelash supplements. It's their eyebrows that make me raise mine. Both showed up for the LACMA red carpet sporting too light eyebrows. In Christina's case it's obviously intentional, while Kim's look like someone has forgotten the brow filler. Or maybe it was also done on purpose. Was there a memo I didn't get? Is this what we do now? I'll pass, though.

On the other hand here's Nicole Richie at the same event showing the world how to wear a bold(ish) eye shadow. She's gorgeous and this shade brings out her eye color. Redemption is a very beautiful thing.

What happens when Christina Aguilera takes off her makeup?

...She turns into an Olsen Twin.
It's probably because of the baggy clothes and sunglasses, but really, Christina is barely recognizable without all the unnecessary extra paint. I like her and wish she'd find a medium between Lady Gaga and a total frump. She's too pretty for her own image.

Christina Aguilera Dances The Night Away

Apparently that's what one wears to a night club nowadays. Maybe it's just me, but Christina Aguilera makes me long for the days the party scene looked like this:

With celebs still rocking the oompa loompa look (and in Christina Aguilera's case it also includes lipstick on the teeth), maybe it's the time to remind everyone that there's a kinder, gentler way to fake a tan. A bronzer gives you much more control over the level of color, and unless you make a seriously wrong choice won't turn you orange.

I love Paula Dorf's pressed powder bronzer. It's as finely milled as it promises to be, goes on lightly and easily (I use a full brush that distributes the powder evenly) and gives me the touch of sun that I'm craving these days. My color of choice is Bronze (it's also offered in a lighter and a darker shade) which on my skin looks naturally sun-kissed. Just without the guilt. Normally, it's also available from Sephora, but their online store is out of stock at the moment.
