Maria Del Russo — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:48:18 EST

Not all pins are created equal, especially when it comes to your up 'dos. And while bobby pins are one of the more common hair helpers in the market, they aren't the only ones out there. Old-school hairpins are a definite must have for any woman who is serious about her hairstyles, whether it be a simple top knot or an elaborate up 'do. The secret is that both types of pins are necessary for your achieving your desired style. But how do you know the difference? It's actually quite simple. Just keep reading for more.

Sarah Macrae — Mon, 14 May 2012 07:47:49 EST

Kate Middleton's bouncy blow-dry is as famous as the Duchess herself, but the stylish royal treated us to a different hairstyle when her and Wills attended the Our Greatest Team Rises BOA Olympic Concert at London's Royal Albert Hall over the weekend. The side sections of her hair were braided and then crossed over each other at the back while the rest of her mane was pinned up into a loose bun with the top section being left quite voluminous in the front.

2012 Logies: Magdalena Roze

Sarah Macrae — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 18:48:16 EST

If you're going for a gown - or top - with a statement back an up 'do is typically your best bet as Magdalena Roze proves on the Logies red carpet. Network Ten's Breakfast resident meteorologist teamed her glamorous gown with a teased up 'do which is reminiscent of the style that Scarlett Johansson chose for the Hollywood premiere of The Avengers earlier this week. With such a eye-catching frock and Magdalena sensibly opted for a classic makeup look that consisted of a subtle smoky eye, bronzed and nude lip. What do you make of her look tonight?

2012 Logies: Laura Dundovic

Sarah Macrae — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 18:23:36 EST

Laura Dundovic went for the classic red carpet combo of a smoky eye and up 'do for tonight's Logies. Giving her eye makeup a modern twist with the graphic block of pigment, we can't deny that it's pretty, but I almost wish that she'd gone one step further and really had fun with the eyeliner trend that's big this season. The rest of her makeup stuck within the pink colour family with a peachy-pink blush and iridescent pink gloss rounding out Laura's look. For hair, the Dating In The Dark presenter decided to forgo classic waves and instead picked a high bun.

Kim Kardashian, Teresa Palmer, Rachel Zoe, Molly Sims and many more glamorous ladies came together to celebrate the opening of Valentino's Rodeo Drive flagship store in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night.

Teresa Palmer's Beauty Look at the Wish You Were Here Premiere

Sarah Macrae — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:17:31 EST

Teresa Palmer jetted back into town to join her co-star Joel Edgerton for the Australian premiere of Wish You Were Here at Sydney's Entertainment Quarter last night. Teresa looked flawless on the red carpet, teaming her embelished and feathered ensemble with a soft, romantic up 'do that had lots of height at the crown. Makeup-wise, Teresa never needs much as she has such beautiful skin, so it was a light dusting of silver shadow, winged liner and pink gloss to top it off.

Jennifer Lawrence's Hunger Games Premiere Beauty Look From All Angles

Sarah Macrae — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:11:05 EST

Jennifer Lawrence looked a vision in gold at the world premiere of The Hunger Games in LA. Wearing a beautifully soft and textured up 'do (styled by Mark Townsend) accessorised with a Jennifer Behr headpiece, Jennifer's makeup (by Jillian Dempsey) centres around a sexy smoky eye that's softer and more subtle in its shade choice blending brown-toned shades on the lid with traditional charcoals and greys used for definition around the lower lash-line. It's that two-two eyeliner trick that we're seeing a lot of on the red carpet lately - Nina Dobrev was another star to try the trend yesterday. Finally a dark manicure was the perfect choice against her gown.

Surf's Up: How to Create Catherine McNeil's Vogue Hairstyle

Sarah Macrae — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 13:24:01 EST

When we saw Catherine McNeil's sexy spread in the new issue of Vogue, we were immediately wowed by her hair. Hanging out at Bondi Beach for local snapper Max Doyle, Catherine's tousled-up-front, sleek-up-back style should be on anyone's radar who's looking for a fresh, fashion-forward way to jazz up a classic up 'do. It was the handiwork of Barney Martin, so we called him up to see how he created the style. According to the Sydney-based stylist, it works best on shoulder length or shorter strands and you can get the how-to after the jump.

2012 Oscars: Emma Stone

Sarah Macrae — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:19:38 EST

Much has been made of her gown being similar to Nicole Kidman's Balenciaga Oscars frock from 2007, but we're here to talk hair and makeup. Picking subtle colours, perhaps to let her dress do all the talking, Emma Stone wore a sparkling light lilac eyeshadow that had a touch of iridescence to it, which was topped off with winged liner and a pink lip tint. Hair-wise, Emma's strands were parted off-centred and then styled into a braided bun. What do you think?
