How to get hair like this for one night only

And how not to pay the consequences come Monday morning.

Just when you thought it was an overnight beauty sensation which would come and go as quickly as faking freckles (yes, that happened): coloured tresses are here to stay and the trend has gone into overdrive.

But, there are a few things you should know before attempting it, or risk turning Friday night’s lilac creation into Monday morning’s slightly grey, washed out mess.

What happened to Sofía Vergara?!

The usually sexy star looked downright dowdy in L.A. Thursday. The 42-year-old Colombian actress was photographed having the worst hair day ever. And her smeared lipstick would make Cover Girl cringe!

What's more, Vergara's famous curves were covered in an over-sized gray shirt and ripped sweatpants.
Don't worry: she wasn't suffering a meltdown.

She might not be smiling but the singer has plenty to be happy about after she walked free on drugs charges and headed back into the recording studio

You'd expect her to have a huge grin spread across her face following a date with a hairdresser, but Tulisa looked nothing but miserable on her latest outing.

Celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin is constantly on the move. Whether she’s on set with Reese Witherspoon (shown in Atkin’s Instagram shot above), flying to Canada to teach a hair seminar, or in the salon styling Chrissy Teigen—it’s pretty much all hair, all the time. "It’s great seeing people express themselves through their hair," says Atkin. “I feel like there’s so much creativity buzzing right now.” I asked her about what she thinks will be big this fall.

What fall hair trend are you most excited about? Accessories! Playing dress up with scarves, jewels, and hats like they did on the runway at Giambattista Valli and Chanel. I love the alternative to conventional styling.

With the heart of downtown in the middle, it's the artery through which all stylish things flow in Toronto. That's reflected in the variety of looks you'll see from end to end - urban, professional, vintage-inspired and bohemian, all with a personal twist.

I have been a fan of Jennifer Aniston’s forever. I love her cool, laid-back style; from her hair to her clothes she really does make it all look so easy. Because I’ve admired Jennifer so much from afar — she's my favorite actress — I was actually a little nervous to interview her. She couldn’t have been more fun and open during our chat. She dished on everything from how her fiancé, Justin Theroux, would feel if she went under the knife to why she thinks that aging is awesome. Read on for Jennifer’s candid interview.

Kunmi Otitoju, a 30-year-old Nigerian fashion designer and entrepreneur, holds two Computer Science degrees – a Bachelor of Science degree with first-class honors from Howard University and a Master of Science degree from Virginia Tech. But her first love was Fine Art. As a high school student in Lagos, she won the Fine Arts prize at school every year – for 3 years.

Having moved to the U.S. when she was 17, and then to Europe at the age of 25, Otitoju found herself deeply enmeshed in western culture. Keen on preserving her Nigerian identity and eager to propagate facets of Nigerian culture, she conceived the idea of lining high-quality leather bags with Aso-oke fabric, a hand-loomed cloth woven by Nigeria’s Yoruba people.

In need of a fashion fix after the cancellation of Ottawa Fashion Week? Montreal is launching its Fashion & Design Festival Aug. 20-23 with 50 shows, 300 participants and shopping galore. Organizers expect crowds of about 550,000 at the free outdoor extravaganza that promises something for everyone.

Located at Quartier des Spectacles, the cultural heart of the city, FDF is bringing together emerging and veteran designers, major retailers, artists and artisans, entertainers and multimedia wizards. After pulling the plug on Montreal’s Fashion Week, producer Groupe Sensation Mode decided to focus on their annual summer street festival, now its 14th year.

Established and emerging African designers are showcasing their work at this year's Africa Fashion Week London. But in an era where vloggers are increasingly setting fashion trends, BBC Africa's Alexis Akwagyiram considers whether the fashion focus has moved from the catwalk to cyberspace.

The fashion world is, stereotypically, summed up by the image of beautiful models gliding up and down a catwalk, adorned in flamboyant clothes.

The Belgian creative director of Dior releases his new own-brand collection, created with artist Sterling Ruby, in stores this month. Here’s why Simons always steals the show

Brand

What other designer would entirely re-brand for a season? Because this is exactly what Simons has done. For AW14, Raf Simons becomes: Raf Simons/Sterling Ruby. This collaboration with the American artist, a friend of Simons’ for just short of a decade, is a fully committed project – rather than the usual fashion-art union, which involve a simple nod from the artist. Here the pair mined both their worlds, from shape to fabric, through technique and references, to create an entire collection with 47 runway looks. Highlights include parkas with patches, striped duffle bags and excellent knitwear – while, for the serious collector, there is a series of limited-edition, hand-painted hooded coats costing £18,545, which go on sale later this month.

Isabelle Gauvreau’s paintings explore the beauty and sensuality of women’s naked bodies. Now the visual artist is turning her creative eye to dressing them with the opening of Isabelle, a new boutique in the ByWard Market.

“It’s a small space, but it’s a great space,” says Gauvreau of the tiny shop located on a premium fashion strip on Dalhousie Street. Victoire and Workshop Studio & Boutique are on the same block; Ottawa fashion designer Frank Sukhoo is down the street and Amanda May Lingerie is only a few doors down.

Eyes are the most noticeable feature on our face and it is a main focus area in makeup artistry. Naturally, it is a desire of many women to have big, youthful looking eyes. Unfortunately, nature does not always cooperate and we are not all left with our ideal eye size and shape. The good news is that it doesn't matter whether you have small set eyes or you just want to make them pop. Here are 8 quick and easy tips that are fantastic ways to help your eyes appear larger and get your peepers popping!

Seen “Guardians of the Galaxy" yet?

The sci-fi blockbuster, which features a literally colorful cast of characters, required actors to endure as many as five hours in the makeup chair. Zoe Saldana’s green-all-over look is the layered product of three complementary emerald tones. Dave Bautista’s intricately etched red tattoos on gray skin are the result of painstakingly brushed, splattered, and sponged green, yellow, and red makeup.

There’s a little known brand based out of Santa Monica, California that plans on not-so-quietly shaking up the $65 billion beauty industry. Beautycounter calls itself the safest beauty brand on the market, with a “never list” of over 1500 ingredients it deems too harmful to include in anything that touches your skin—from sunscreen to lip balm. (To put that into perspective when compared to other brands, the United States has only banned or restricted 11 ingredients from cosmetic use, versus the European Union’s 1,300.)

Everyone has their own share of flaws. At the same time in this fast-paced world it becomes difficult to indulge in proper makeup sessions to hide those imperfections.

But, isn’t it equally important to look unblemished and attractive to survive in this ever-competitive world?

Exactly, says Gunjan Gaur, Permanent Makeup Expert and Executive Director of ALPS Beauty Clinics, while she reveals who all require the boon of Permanent Makeup – a makeup which lasts forever while hiding your flaws.

Let’s be real: Sometimes “life hacks” are only good in theory. (Yes, rigging a system of binder clips and plastic bread ties will organize my computer cables, but who has the time for that?) So, in celebration of National Simplify Your Life Week, we asked dozens of experts on everything from finances to nutrition for advice on how we can really, actually make things easier. To finish out our Simplify Your Life series, we're bringing you double the expertise for two classically time-consuming routines: skincare and makeup.

It comes as no surprise that make up and styling can greatly transform a look -- that's why so many people do them everyday to the point that some of them refuse to even go out unless they've put on their mask.

While makeup is an essential part of being an idol, some of them bravely proved that they had absolutely nothing to worry while simultaneously proving the power of makeup by revealing their bare face to the public (gasp!).

The stylish gallerist reminisces on her beauty inspirations

Rather oddly I remember being fascinated by a spiritual type of lady at my primary-school summer fête in Kew. She had made all sorts of lotions and potions out of rose petals, lavender, gardenias and essential oils. All very magical to my young mind. I was at her stall for hours trying them, but the best part was she wrapped up purchases in silver-foil packages. It was the late 1970s - all very bohemian. I subscribed to a make-up club at boarding-school. A monthly shipment arrived and I slapped it all on!

Tonight, in a not particularly Tardis-like screen at the British Film Institute on London’s Southbank, members of the press, expert Whovians and lucky competition-winners gathered for a preview screening. This first episode of Doctor Who’s eighth season is titled “Deep Breath” – appropriate, given the heart-stopping anticipation it has generated in the 12 months since Peter Capaldi was announced as the new Doctor.

There have been lengthy debates about the 56-year-old Glaswegian actor’s suitability for the role. Forums and Twitter feeds have been clogged with speculation on production details and there was even a mysterious scandal in July, when scripts and footage were leaked online.

Romance blooms under the sun and the stars in Woody Allen's "Magic in the Moonlight," a high-spirited bauble that goes down easy thanks to fleet comic pacing, a surfeit of ravishing Cote d'Azur vistas and the genuinely reactive chemistry of stars Colin Firth and Emma Stone. A welcome balm for the blockbuster-addled soul, Allen's 44th feature finds the director back in the 1920s Gallic mood of 2011's "Midnight in Paris," with the star-crossed lovers this time held apart not by time but rather by philosophical inclinations.

Love him or hate him, filmmaker KEVIN SMITH is a popular and rather successful guy.

The foul-mouthed genius behind movies like Dogma, Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy easily packed the 1,100-seat Sanderson Centre during his visits here a few years ago when he was drawn by the chance to play street hockey in WALTER GRETZKY's tournament.

LOS ANGELES: The teenage mutant heroes in a half shell are battling their way back to movie screens with teen crushes, insecurity, rage and a hankering for pizza in a franchise reboot for a new generation.

Mumbai: Actress Bipasha Basu, who decided to refrain from promoting 'Humshakals' prior to its release, says she won`t work with Sajid Khan, the film`s director, ever again.

Bipasha, who was seen as one of the six key characters in the comic film which wasn`t received well, has nothing against the film`s co-producers Vashu Bhagnani and Fox Star Studios. But she is glad she took a stand against promoting 'Humshakals' when it was required.

The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchise earns a Michael Bay-produced 3-D reboot that spares no expense in special effects and spares no decibels in the volume that is the soundtrack to all their new mayhem.

These digitally animated supersize turtles have real-world presence and weight, stomping onto the scene like teenagers who haven't learned to do anything quietly. Their brawls with trigger-happy foes from the Foot Clan are a blur of body blows and bullets. Their wisecracks are up-to-date, their love of pizza unabated.

NEW YORK (AP) — Beyonce is set to have a "Flawless" night at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Entertainment is a movie of many firsts. Besides the fresh pairing of Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah, it is the first film that has the actor sharing screen space with a dog.

It is also the directorial debut of Farhad-Sajid. Not just that, in his more than two-decade long career, this film marks Akshay's first association with producers Ramesh S Taurani and Jayantilal Gada. This rib-tickling comedy revolves around Akhil Lokhande (Akshay), who initially comes up with devious plans to knock off his father's pet dog so that he can inherit the fortune, but eventually ends up sharing a bond with the canine. Taurani feels that the scenes between the actor and the dog are the film's USP. He says, "You'll see a completely different side of Akshay when he interacts with the dog. We were keen on having a Golden Retriever play the role of Entertainment. Accordingly, our crew in Bangkok found Junior. He was well-trained and we're happy with the results."
