How to Get the Hottest Summer Beauty Looks of Selena Gomez and Jessica Alba


This year’s most stunning summer makeup looks are mucho caliente, and Jessica Alba and Selena Gomez are experts at rocking steamy beauty looks that turn the heat all the way up.

For Selena’s vintage bombshell glamour think contour, feline winged eyeliner, strong brows and glistening nude shades.  Slick your hair back with an argan oil or hair serum hair product combed through for an almost wet look to bring all the attention to your dramatic eyes.  


Try these new products from Pretty Vulgar available at Sephora.com to get Selena’s look:

Jessica Alba’s look is all about contouring, strong brows, and warm metallic shades on the eyes.  A dark, rich lip is the opposite of the traditional pale summer nude and amps up the glamour factor times ten. A sleek ponytail keeps the focus on your face and makes for easy, humidity-safe hair. Try hair products especially formulated with shea butter after washing your hair and seal with an anti-frizz product if your natural hair is wavy or curly.  


Try these cult classics by Kat Von D available at sephora.com to get Jessica’s look:

The Corset Diet: Kim Kardashian's trick to weight loss

With a wedding 6 weeks away, Kim Kardashian is reportedly sleeping in a corset to get rid of stubborn baby fat after giving birth to her first child. Kim Kardashian’s trick to weight loss is not as new or wacky as it might sound.  
The newly named "Corset Diet" is the same method that pin-up models like Betty Brosmer above used in the 1950's but then it was called waist training and it is believed to be how Romanian model Ioana Spangenberg achieved her now famous 20 inch waistline. 

According to some experts the Corset Diet can actually modify your waist 4 to 5 inches. 

Some other reasons it works is because it's so tight around the tummy that it limits your capacity of food and gives you feeling of fullness sooner. Especially true if you only eat when wearing the corset.
It will also improve your posture to elongate the torso's appearance
Before you rush to get behind this body modifcation trend you must know that not just any corset will do. Corsets are usually made with boning inserted into a flexible material. You may even come across the steel boned corset – it is the boning that keeps everything in place.
As if the boning were not enough, someone decided to add lace ties from top to bottom. Check out this film clip from Gone with the Wind when Scarlet needs to hold on to the bed to get into hers. Adding these ties could sometimes get the waistline down to 14 inches, which of course led to heaving breasts and popular “fainting rooms.” Yes, all due to the corset.
