Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev always has flawless looking skin when she hits the red carpet, and now she’s shared some of her best tips so that YOU can be on your way to healthy, glowing skin too!

What are Nina’s best skincare tips?

1. Use organic products “I honest believe it’s important not to put chemicals in your body and keep it as pure as possible.” Nina says.

2. Take off your makeup! “You really need to take off your makeup, and let your skin breathe sometimes.” she explains. Nina even makes sure she is always prepared for a clean face, even when she’s on the road: “I always have makeup wipes and moisturizers when I fly. I take all my makeup off and lather on Origins GinZing moisturizer. It actually revives your face within seconds. I can’t even describe it.”

3. Protect your skin from the sun With summer just around the corner, it’s even more important than ever to protect your skin from the harsh UV rays of the sun. Nina admitted that the product she can’t live without is Jergen’s Natural Glow Moisturizer, which gives a healthy glow without the damage from the sun!

Sarah has been featured in new videos for the fragrances, which include four different styles to suit your personality – Rock Steady, Fresh Start, Sweet Crush and Hot Date.

In the behind the scenes video, Sarah explains why she loves the new line.

“With Heart Calgon, it’s great because it’s kind of like my fashion sense, but for fragrance, because there’s different moods to Heart Calgon, whereas every morning I know I wake up in a different mood.” Sarah admits. “I am 22 and I still can’t just decide on one fragrance.”

“It’s nice because it’s inexpensive, so you get to try and see which one’s your favourite. Maybe you will stick to just one, or maybe you’ll get all four and just have fun, maybe mix and match.”

Disney darling Bella Thorne may have to wear makeup all the time for her show Shake It Up, and her red carpet appearances – but the teen star has opened up to OK Magazine on how much teens should be wearing makeup!

The actress opened up to share some of her best tips to keeping her skin look great, even when it’s not in the best shape! Here’s what she had to say:

“Never leave your makeup on too long,” Bella says. “When you don’t have to wear makeup, then don’t! If you’re going to the mall with your friends then don’t wear makeup. Your skin does not need your pores clogged,”

“Wiping your face with a rag is actually really bad for you because what it does is when your scrubbing whatever is left on the rag, even if it’s clean leaves bacteria. Your pores open up and what happens is if you go to sleep on your pillow, it’s not good. Don’t use a rag.” She continued.

Other than ditching the rag, what’s another key thing everyone should be doing for their skin? “Always keep your face moisturized. When I travel, I usually get a pimple. I’m not going to lie. It always happens. For that I would just say use those little Evian bottles and make sure your face is just hydrated.”

How gorgeous did Lea Michele look at the Teen Choice Awards last night?!

The Glee beauty looked stunning as she walked the pink carpet in a beautiful Versace dress, along with a California-fresh look with some cool textured waves in her hair.

Now, you can get hair just like Lea’s! Her hairstylist Mark Townsend has shared what he did to create Lea’s hairstyle for the night while using some simple products from Dove. He even shared a picture of Lea before she hit the carpet here saying “Team @msleamichele in the house!”

Here’s how Mark created Lea’s look:

“For the Teen Choice Awards, I wanted Lea to look like a classic, sun-kissed California girl. I loved her Atelier Versace dress and wanted to show how a cool, young woman wears couture, so I kept her hair pretty natural with loads of texture.” Mark explained.

“I started by applying a large amount of Dove Style+Care Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse to Lea’s damp hair, and rough dried her hair with my hands and with the diffuser attachment on my T3 Blowdryer. After the hair was dry, I re-applied a large dollop of the Mousse and scrunched it in again, creating really great texture. Next, I took 4-inch sections of hair and sprayed Dove Style+Care Thermal Replenishment Spray on the hair, then loosely wrapped the hair around a 1 1/2-inch curling iron for a few seconds to give the hair a loose wave. After the hair was waved, I sprayed Oribe Après Beach Spray all over while scrunching the hair with my hands to create more texture. To keep her hair in place without weighing it down, I finished with Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray all over.”

The girls have been branching out this year, taking on new projects including being fashion contributors for a magazine.

During an interview with Hollywood Life, the girls shared some of their skincare tips.

The girls also revealed that a big key to soft skin is always washing face their faces before bed!

Victorious beauty Victoria Justice always looks flawless and effortless when it comes to beauty, and now she’s sharing some of her best secrets with you! Victoria appears in the July issue of SELF magazine where she shares her tips on looking natural even in the heat!

“Don’t be afraid to play up your natural beauty. Natural is always such a chic look. Plus, it is so great to let your skin breathe.” Victoria says. “It’s best to look like yourself. Play up your best features. If you have great eyes, then accentuate those. Or if you like your lips most, then use a great, bold lip color.”“When I don’t look my best, I detox with raw foods and lots of water. It makes me feel better.”

“Guys like natural beauty. I get it. So find ways to make them think you are! My thing is lip stain. It stays put so you don’t have to constantly reapply.”

What’s Victoria’s quick tip? “If I have no time to touch up, I get a natural glow by pinching my cheeks 10 times really hard. Well, not so hard that I bruise.”

The singer/actress also has some handy tricks up her sleeve when it comes to applying make-up.“I swirl a wet eyeliner brush in brown shadow, then swipe it along my lash line and a little past the corner for an easy cat eye.”

As for nail color, you may not find the star with bright nails. “I don’t want to have to change my nailcolor whenever I put on a new outfit. I usually choose nude, because it matches whatever I wear.”

What is Victoria’s biggest beauty rule? No sleeping with makeup on!

“I wash off my makeup every night before bed. It’s my number-one rule for good skin.” She explains. “I’m only 19, so I’m not super concerned about aging. But my mom didn’t drink, smoke or tan while growing up, and she looks great. I’m following her plan.”

Now that summer is in full force with beach trips and fun days in the sun with friends, actresses Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere opened up about how to keep it cool in the summer.

What do the two girls do during the summer? Hit the pool of course! “I try to find a pool,” Emma told People. “And definitely use sunscreen because I’m the palest person on the planet.”

As for style, Emma has already found her summer obsession. “I’m really into wedges.” she said.

Hayden revealed her summer style saying, “I love that you can just throw on a bathing suit and a blousy boho dress and feel comfortable.”

One beauty item the pair both agree on is sun protection. The girls love Neutrogena’s Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock for when they’re out in the sun. “It cools you down and it feels so good,” says Hayden. “It doesn’t leave the streaky ugly white stain. It keeps you moist, fresh and cool.”

Emma and Hayden are both Neutrogena spokesmodels, and have helped launch the Wave for Change campaign which helps educational charities. Hayden has revealed that she’s a strong believer in education and believes that every child deserves one.

“It’s the basis of life, it’s the basis of people,” She said in a recent interview. “It’s the basis of success, it’s the basis of art, it’s the basis of what makes the world go ’round.”

Didn’t Emma Stone look gorgeous at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (June 3)? We loved everything from her black and white dress to her bright summery lips!

If you love it too, you can easily recreate her beauty look with just a few products from Revlon (Emma’s the face of Revlon) and Chanel!

Emma’s makeup artist Rachel Goodwin chatted with InStyle to talk about how she created Emma’s look. Here’s how it was done:

“We wanted her look to be fun and flirty, like she’s been on summer vacation for a while,” Rachel said. “So, I really focused on her skin and then added a great pop of color with the coral lip.”

“I wanted the lip to be the focus of the look so I chose a fun coral that would pop against her black and white dress. I always prep the lip with a balm and let it sit while I’m doing the rest of her makeup. I chose the coral shade because it’s perfect for a fun event like this and is a great summer hue,” — for the lips, Emma wore Revlon Just Kissable in Rendezvous.

“For her skin I mixed the foundation with a facial moisturizer. Instead of covering the entire face with foundation, I applied foundation only to places the sun would naturally hit her to give it a healthy summer glow and a fluffy synthetic brush because it makes the skin look really flawless,” said Goodwin. “To make it look like she had just gotten home from the beach I used a cream brush on the apples of her cheeks.” — on her face, Emma wore Chanel Le Blanc Sheer Illuminating Base, Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Makeup in Nude, Chanel Natural Finish Pressed Powder, Chanel Powder Blush in In Love.

“Because her eyes have this beautiful almond shape I love playing up the inside,” said Goodwin. “I used black liquid eye liner on the entire upper lid and made the line a bit broader towards the inside of eyes. This brings the attention to the center of her face and really accentuates the shape of the eye.” — On Emma’s eyes was Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner in Blackest Black, Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Blackest Black, Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Prelude, Chanel Sculpting Eye Brow Pencil in Brun Natural.
