Eyebrows can make or break your entire look, according to practically every makeup artist and brow expert we've ever talked to. They can make your eyes look droopy when they're not, or make you look angry when, in fact, you're not. This is why it's essential to be very cautious when grooming your own brows. There is a very fine line between a perfectly shaped brow and an overly tweezed brow. If you think about it, your brows (even when big and bushy) have very little real estate on your face. One or two plucks too many can leave you with a pretty scary shape. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/article/press_smartplanet_090109 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:35:33 GMT Turning your employer into your customer. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/editors_blogs/Got-Adult-Acne-Weve-Got-Help Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:36:38 GMT You know, acne is all well and good for teenagers (especially since I'm not one anymore), but adults just shouldn't have to deal with it, don't you agree? Sadly, nature does not, since almost half of adults over 25 have some acne, according to The International Dermal Institute. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/p-best-worst-tv-hairstyles Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:00:00 GMT From Ugly Betty to Marge Simpson, see whose hair we love -- or hate -- the most. TV characters' hairstyles run the gamut from runway-worthy 'dos to downright scary catastrophes. Some of them perfectly fit their characters -- like Ugly Betty's blah cut or Joan Holloway's perfect French twist -- and some of them left us wondering what the stylists on the show were thinking. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/editors_blogs/Five-Steps-to-a-Perfect-HeadtoToe-Holiday-Look Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:11:16 GMT I just got my first e-vite of the season for a holiday party, yay! I've dropped my LBD off at the cleaners and picked up my hostess gift, now it's time to focus on the most important part -- me! (Please note the sarcasm in this last sentence; of course I'm not the no. 1 aspect of a party, just in the top 3 or so.) nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/editors_blogs/What-Celebrities-Lie-About-their-Age Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:32:08 GMT Prepare yourself, because I'm about to drop a major bombshell on you: Celebrities lie about their age!

Lost your faith in eye creams? If you have dark circles, puffy eyes or fine lines, you may have tried several (hey, even hundreds!) of eye creams to solve the problem. And while eye creams are not for everybody -- especially those who tend to lose patience and quit before giving their skin the chance to see results -- they "can and often do show results if they are used appropriately and for a long enough time," says cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Beer. The trick is to find the right eye cream for you. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/editors_blogs/Has-Sammy-Sosa-Taken-Skin-Lightening-Way-Too-Far Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:02:52 GMT I'm sure you've seen these before and after shots of Sammy Sosa making the rounds on the Internet. Sosa claims that a product he uses to soften his skin is responsible for making it lighter as well. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/quizzes/q-attention-grabbing-hair Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:00:00 GMT See if your look is cutting edge enough or if it could use a little inspiration.

Take this quiz to find out if your style is cutting edge enough -- then get customized tips and product recommendations to help you play up your edgy side even more. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/quizzes/q-holiday-stocking-stuffer-guide Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:00:00 GMT Find the perfect "feel-good" items for your loved one.

Suffering from adult acne? You are so not alone. Annet King, Director of Training and Development for The International Dermal Institute, says that 54 percent of women over 25 have some acne, and it's most common in women in their 30s. "It's an epidemic in skin care," she says. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/editors_blogs/Are-Wen-Infomercials-Telling-the-Truth Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:49:03 GMT I tend to turn a blind eye to infomercials -- anything from a blade-less shaving razor (yeah, that sounds effective) to trading your gold for cash (they really expect you to mail in your jewelry on blind faith!?) sounds like a big four letter word to me. Yeah. S-C-A-M. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/editors_blogs/15-Products-that-Will-Transform-Your-Body Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:25:57 GMT All right, I know what you're thinking: "Uh, hello, it's winter, no one is seeing my body for a good five months, what do I need body-fixing products for?" But seriously, hear me out. A lot of these products -- like miracle-working stretch mark creams and cellulite reducers -- take some time to work. So if you start using them now, then come spring you'll be looking fab from the neck down and ready to face bathing suit season with confidence (keeping up with your exercise and diet are necessary too, but I'll leave that to my girls over at Healthy Living). nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/quizzes/q-celeb-ages Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:00:00 GMT Take this quiz to see if you can decipher the true ages of these A-listers. Almost every actor in Hollywood lies about their age at some point in their career, it's practically part of the job description. So when it comes to knowing a celebs' true age, it can be a bit tricky -- especially with the fondness they have for plastic surgery, Botox, fillers and more! Take this quiz to see if the numbers you've heard these celebs say match up with their actual ages. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/editors_blogs/15-Ways-to-Beat-the-Rush-and-Shop-Smarter-this-Season Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:52:39 GMT The pumpkins and candy corn have been tossed, and now its time to move on to more pressing matters: holiday shopping.

But some of us (fine, fine, you) need a little more than that to make these chic products splurge-worthy. nonadult http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/p-wen-products Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:00:00 GMT Wondering if Wen products really work or if it's all hype? See what the buzz is about. You've probably seen a Wen infomercial, or if not, you may have heard of it.
