Victoria Beckham Doesn’t Put on Make-Up in Front of Harper
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Victoria Beckham doesn't apply make-up around her daughter to prevent her from copying her.
The 39-year-old fashion designer is so wary about 22-month-old Harper - who she has with husband David Beckham - picking up on her actions that she avoids putting on beauty products around the toddler to ensure she doesn't feel left out.
"I can't put on make-up when Harper's around, because she would join me immediately. She is a tomboy towards her brothers," she said.
Victoria admits she is aware of the pressure her children - also including three sons Cruz, eight, Romeo, 10, and Brookyln, 14 - are under while having famous parents, but makes sure they know they can do good with their celebrity status and doesn't spoil them: "[Cruz asked] 'Why is it good to be famous, mum?' My answer was, 'When you're famous you have a certain power to do good things.' That is how we started talking about charity. Cruz was really sweet and said, 'When people listen to what I say, I could spread some good messages.' The kids are under a lot of pressure to perform. I don't want to pressure them. They should be keen and reach as much as possible. But the most important thing is they are happy. They lead a very privileged life but they don't get everything they ask for. We always tell them how lucky they are."

American Idol's new judge Nicki Minaj has undergone an unusual makeover for her Elle cover.
While most stars get done-up for their magazine cover transformations, the stylists at Elle convinced the rapper to ditch her colorful outfits and theatre makeup for a more natural look.
The star even admitted to the fashion glossy how difficult it was for her to avoid her usual makeup routine: "When I saw myself with barely any makeup at, it was such a... like, I'm so, so attached to my pink lipstick, it's hard. I feel that it's become a part of me. To go in front of the camera, without pink lips or big ol' crazy lashes - you know, nothing - I felt naked. It was scary! So this photo shoot was a real accomplishment in my eyes."
Styled in a Tom Ford jacket with American Apparel leggings for the cover, the 30 year-old dons Jeremy Scott and Dolce & Gabbana in the rest of the editorial (seen after the jump).

Kardashian Sisters Sued Over Khroma Beauty
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
The Kardashian sisters are being sued for $10 million. Reality TV stars Kim, Kourtney and Khloe could face a mammoth legal bill following make-up artist Lee Tillett's claim they stole the name of their new cosmetics range, Khroma Beauty, from her.
Lee is also asking for damages from Boldface Group Inc, the company that markets their line, after a cease and desist letter sent last July imploring them to stop using the name failed to work. "I developed the Kroma line myself, built my business through my own hard work, and took the legal steps necessary to protect it. And yet I have now been forced into legal battle with the Kardashians simply because they have decided to take something that doesn't belong to them," she said.
Boldface petitioned a Florida court to rule Lee's brand name "conceptually weak," because it "consists solely of a descriptive term and lacks any inherent distinctive meaning to the relevant consuming public."

First Look: Gwyneth Paltrow for Max Factor

Among Gwyneth Paltrow's many jobs is that of serving as "creative inspiration" for cosmetic company Max Factor, which of course entails offering her face up for advertising campaigns.
The first photo (seen above) of the most recent campaign - which was inspired by Paltrow's Renaissance-like career - sees the actress/rockstar wife/blogger/style icon as "The Writer." So how did she manage evoking the character? "It's kind of me when I'm most myself - doing something creative. You know, having a look that says confidence, creativity, but still very much who I am," the mother of two explained.
Paltrow will appear in six other photos for the campaign, which are sadly not displayed in the U.S. considering that Max Factor hasn't been sold here in two years. Now you'll have an excuse to buy with all the European fashion glossies!

Whitney Port: ‘Britney Spears Needs a Makeover’

Whitney Port wants to give Britney Spears a makeover.
The new Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model judge is a huge fan of the popstar, but despairs of her style choices. "I love her so much and want her to succeed and she has so much potential. Her style choices, as well as her hair and make-up, could do with a little sophistication and she could also do with a better bra. She has good perky boobs but doesn't make the most of them," she said.

The Chanel designer has teamed up with Japanese beauty giant Shu Uemure to create a range of cosmetics, entitled Karl Lagerfeld for Shu Uemura. While specific details on the range have not yet been revealed, president of Karl Lagerfeld Pier Paolo Righi told WWD that the products will reflect the designer's "iconic, ironic style."
Karl - who has used Shu Uemura cosmetics to hand-color his fashion sketches for over two decades - is in charge of the collection's color selection and packaging and has already photographed an accompanying campaign.
Meanwhile, Karl has been immortalized in wax his native Germany's oldest waxwork museum, Panoptikum Hamburg. The model took almost a year to create and features an uncanny resemblance to the eccentric designer, featuring his white hair tied in a neat ponytail, his trademark dark glasses, fingerless gloves and slim tailoring.
