Typically, when we see pics of Maggie Gyllenhaal, we immediately go off the rails daydreaming about her hot brother, Jake. But we actually zoomed in on her look from last night's "White House Down" premiere. The quirky, talented actress is screaming warm-weather style in all the right ways. This summer-dewy makeup with a bright pink lip is doable in just a few steps:
1. Apply a tinted moisturizer, like Josie Maran Tinted Moisturizer, $38, all over your face.
2. Next, use a highlighter on your T-zone (we love Juice Beauty Irresistible Glow Facial Highlighter, $22). Apply it to your forehead, nose, and cheeks, and blend in evenly using a sponge.
3. Line your upper eyelids using a liquid eyeliner pen, making sure your line grows thicker as you reach the outer corners of your eyes. Then apply a set of demi eyelashes, like Arbell InvisiBands Demi Wispies, $4.99, to add a subtly dramatic touch.
4. Blot the apples of your cheeks using a cream blush stain (we love Ulta Cream Blush, $26. Blend it up to your temples as desired.
5. Finish with a fuchsia lip color, like Pixie Lip Blush, $18.

Recently, reputable nail experts -- celebrity stylists, fashion houses, magazines -- bemoaned (or celebrated) the death of nail art. But Chanel just reopened a Pandora's box of fingernail bedazzling with the flashy debut of nail rings at their fall couture show in Paris.
We were all about the subtle nail art trends this summer, but these rings are making us re-think the genre. First, slipping bejeweled bands on your nude nails is far easier than attempting to recreate that geometric or animal print manicure you saw on Pinterest. Second, we love how these nail rings ride the line of graceful and daring, but carry on the minimalist nail polish trend. Third, they're diamond encrusted -- 'nuff said.
Our only concern is functionality. We'd hate to accidentally bake a Chanel finger ring into a pie. Or watch it tumble into a gutter while hailing a cab. Clearly, these pretty pieces are designed for special occasions, or those lucky enough to never have to lift a finger. But that doesn't mean a girl can't dream ...

Chanel haute couture is never anything less than unapologetically bold and ahead-of-the-curve. This year's show was no exception, featuring a look we can't stop staring at: audacious brows, rosy cheek-to-temple blush, faint lip balm, and a super sleek ponytail with a perfectly taut pompadour. Although it's all about the clothes (after all, it is a fashion show), the hair and makeup look speaks for itself - tres magnifique.
At the Versace Couture fashion show in Paris, Uma Thurman flaunted her killer instincts for pulling off a look that is simple, elegant and ... hot mama! Sweet, simple pulled-back tousled waves, a thin black tie headband, minimal eye makeup, and a bold, bright red lip stain, paired with a slinky black pencil skirted dress featuring lace-up sleeves, nude nails and buckled ankle strap heels. This is Parisian socialite meets American classic at its finest. You like?
Is it just us, or did AnnaSophia Robb do a shockingly on-point portrayal of Carrie in "The Carrie Diaries," the television series (slash prequel to "Sex in the City")? Robb also showed off a few spectacular hair and makeup trends in the series, and we love how she turned '80s styles radical and righteous. This braided look, created for "The Way Way Back" premiere in Los Angeles, turned our heads, too. The best part? As intricate as it may seem, it doesn't require a trip to the salon. Here's how to get her hairstyle:
1. Apply a blow dry lotion, like TRESemme 24-Hour Body Blow Dry Lotion, $5.39, onto damp hair, then blow dry evenly using your fingers.
2. Create a deep side part on the left side of your head. Then divide your hair into two sections -- one on the right side of your part going over the front and crown of your head and one on the left.
3. Begin French braiding the section on the left side of your hair, working around your hairline and toward the nape of your neck. Once you reach the lower right side of your head, braid your hair normally down through to the ends.
4. Next, French braid the section on the right side of your part. Braid along the front your hairline, over your ear and back to the center of your head. This braid should be directly above the first braid you created.
5. Take both ends of the braids you've formed and overlap them so they lay flat along the nape of your neck. Secure by pinning with multiple bobby pins as you go.
6. Tug on your braids to loosen them, then finish with a strong-hold hairspray, like TIGI Hard Head Hard Hold Hairspray, $12.80.
