Beauty Quote of the Day, from Scott Barnes:

Makeup artist Scott Barnes presents his book "About Face" at the launch party at Provocateur at The Hotel Gansevoort on January 20, 2010 in New York City.

Makeup artist Scott Barnes explained why he decided to write a book on makeup (not just one actually, but two.) About Face: Amazing Transformations Using the Secrets of The Top Celebrity Makeup Artist (no need to name names obviously) was introduced on January 1, 2010 and the second installment also entitled About Face but sub-titled differently "Celebrity Makeup Techniques" will be issued on March 1, 2010.

Actually, it's not just a makeup book. As it turns out it's a wellness book...

Hanky-Panky Red: Crimson is the Way to Go (Or Not) & Why {Beauty & Society} {Red Lisptick Series}

Ellen Von Unwerth, Fräulein

I think women subconsciously know that red that is a sexual enhancer. Even at the most informal level, we will say that a red dress or lipstick is "provocative."

Here is an article explaining why red is on your side when you are looking for a mate, literally speaking, and why you ought to modulate your reds if you want to be left alone,

"A new study by two University of Rochester psychologists adds color - literally and figuratively - to the age-old question of what attracts men to women.

There is a whole article on pubic hair but what is more unusual is that the advice is illustrated by a series of pictures of models unveiling their vajayjays as Hewitt likes to say. Okay, so you have the variations, the "triangle", the "flaming bush", you know, it's like clouds in the sky almost, you can let your imagination run a bit. Men give their opinions...
