Selena Gomez Has Officially Joined Team Lob

There are a lot of reasons to love Instagram: you can follow your friends' travels, share your favorite meals (or, um, cupcakes), and, of course, see which celebrities made major hair changes. The new trend for A-listers is to announce a new cut or color via filtered photo, often tagging the pros who created it — which helps us mere mortals know which stylists to book for our next appointments. Keep reading to discover which bigwigs already went brond, strawberry blond, and lavender in 2015!

The Secret to Getting Red-Carpet-Worthy Skin Like Jennifer Aniston's

Jennifer Aniston is up for a Screen Actors Guild Award tomorrow thanks to her role in Cake. And even though Jennifer looks barefaced in the movie, we can expect to see her looking like her usual radiant self on the SAG Awards red carpet. We set out to discover how, exactly, Jennifer gets her skin ready for the spotlight during award season. The answer was waiting for us at New York's Mario Badescu Skin Care, a hot-spot salon loved by stars including Jennifer, Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell, and many more.

Dove's Curly Hair Campaign Will Leave You Misty-Eyed

Dove is known for creating flawless campaigns highlighting "real beauty," and the brand's new #LoveYourCurls video isn't any different. A handful of young women (ages 5 to 11) are asked how they feel about their curly hair. The poignant responses are enough to generate tears. The girls discuss why they don't like their ringlets and coils and why they would prefer to have straight strands. "Sometimes I wish I could just rip it out," says 11-year-old Jewel, with a nervous smile on her face. "But I'm not going to do that."

We can all empathize with wanting to change something about ourselves — especially at that delicate preteen age — but hearing them say it out loud is all the more heartbreaking. The video then shows what can happen when we embrace our true beauty. In this case, it's naturally gorgeous, curly hair.

19 Secrets of the Girl Who Always Has It Together

Whether she's your best friend, competitor, or somewhere in between (insert: frenemy), we all know — and secretly want to be— that girl. She's never late to brunch or seen with a chipped manicure and unruly eyebrows. Seriously, does she live at Drybar? Because there's no way she woke up with those beach waves.

100 Iconic Products You Need to Check Off Your Beauty Bucket List

You also know that once you test them, your life is much easier — and way more fabulous. Snagging these cult products adds you to a long, prestigious list of fans.

Products to Smooth Out Your Keratosis Pilaris Once and For All

January is prime makeover season. You're revamping your closet, shedding unwanted holiday pounds, and vowing to get better skin. So, go ahead and add a hair remix to this month's to-do list. Now we're not talking about going under the shears for a hefty chop — a new color can actually create a splash without the massive commitment. But how do you know which shade to choose? We can't tell you how many times we've been to the salon and wondered: what is auburn really going to look like? Sometimes those little hair swatches just don't communicate how the hue will look on a human head. That's why we've rounded up a full-spectrum hair-color cheat sheet to guide your next salon appointment featuring celebrity examples (because goodness knows they love to change their hair up). From the brightest of blonds to midnight black, everyone can find an exciting new shade from this list.

Before you pick up the bottle of bleach, you need a few pointers. If you're already a blonde, consider trying an auburn hue like Emma Stone or an off-beat rose-gold shade à la Sienna Miller. You can easily get this change-up from an at-home kit or by using a semipermanent hair gloss, which fades within weeks and works with your hair's natural tone. Darker hair colors will need to seek professional help to get a drastic change. If you're going more than two shades lighter, you'll need to make an appointment for a double-process color where the original color is lightened to create a base for the new shade. Brunettes should look toward the middle of the hair-color wheel. Try a warm chestnut like Kate Mara or a "bronde" similar to Jourdan Dunn. Keep in mind that these major dye jobs are more high maintenance when it comes to root upkeep — unless ombré is your end goal. Whatever your hair-color choice for 2015, let this rainbow of beautiful celebrity shades be your guide to all the color options available. They d

on't say "new year, new you" for nothing!

1 Real Girl Takes On 6 Decades of Classic Beauty Looks


Stuck in a hair and makeup rut, InStyle.com assistant editor Marianne Mychaskiw tested out retro beauty trends from the '50s onward each day for a week to see if she could find modern-day inspiration in vintage looks. Find out what it was like, and get tips on how to pull off each one!

I'm a creature of habit and when I find something that works, I tend to stick with it — just ask the barista I hit up at Starbucks on the daily, who knows my order to a T. Often this routine fits just fine, but I was feeling a bit uninspired in terms of my hair and makeup. The cat-eye was my standard, and my lipstick lineup ranged from nude, nuder, and so nude that it would probably be accompanied by an NC-17 rating. In need of a beauty reboot (and perhaps a motivational sing-a-long to Katy Perry's "Firework"), I took a retrospective look at all the top hair and makeup trends from each era every day for a week, with the 1950s as my starting point.

An Easy Winter Nail Art Idea Even Beginners Can Do

Add a little Winter sparkle to your nails with a festive snowflake accent nail. While you can deck out all 10 fingertips with glitter and white snowflake designs, I decided to go for a more simple nail art look that highlights one accent nail. I used the classic Essie Mint Candy Apple ($9) on all my nails except my ring finger, which I painted with Essie Beyond Cozy ($9) as a glittering base. Once I applied two coats of both polishes, I used the Art Club Nail Art Duo Pen in White ($5) to hand-draw snowflake designs on my ring finger. I like the mint-colored polish for a Winter chill look, but you can use red or green for a more Christmas-inspired look and a cobalt blue for a more Hanukkah-inspired look, too.

Get Nostalgic Over Dreamy Downton Abbey Hair and Makeup

Period pieces are just a little more captivating than your average program. For some, it might be the costumes. For others, the accents or slang. But of course, we're drawn in by the hair and makeup of another time. Downton Abbey's fifth season has just started, and the 1920s hair (hello, finger waves!) is dreamier than ever. But the styles are also making us wish we got a closer look at all the beauty in the Edwardian era. You, too? Don't worry: we rounded up an assortment of snaps from every season, so you can reminisce about the retro fabulousness. But just remember that some of Downton Abbey's beauty secrets are best kept in the past — hair that dirty didn't have the benefit of dry shampoo.

Is Amal Alamuddin Taking the Beauty Crown From Kate Middleton?

Like any true romantic, we can't get enough of a good Cinderella story. So when rumors started swirling that Hollywood's biggest bachelor George Clooney was truly in love, we kept our fingers crossed. George met lawyer Amal Alamuddin at a charity dinner in Italy back in 2013. As the fairy tale goes, they worked together on a human rights project (aw), got engaged in April 2014, and married in Venice, Italy, last September. We know you're probably thinking it's just another whirlwind Hollywood romance — George has done a lot of dating . . . But when George professed his love for his wife on national television, we knew this was the real deal (swoon).

It's not just the fact that Amal won the heart of a Hollywood prince that has us entranced. She's also drop-dead gorgeous and smart! Her tendency to exude class on the red carpet reminds us of the duchess herself, Kate Middleton. Amal's blowouts are always flawless, and she sticks to a standard beauty formula: rosy cheeks, pink lipstick, and bold brows. Really, it's George who should be considered Amal's arm candy! Keep reading to steal Amal's formula for sophisticated beauty. It's a system worthy of Hollywood royalty.

Kate Middleton's Smudged Smoky Eye Is Perfect For Busy Moms

We all know that the Duchess of Cambridge is the queen of the blowout, but Kate proved her makeup prowess as she stepped out in London today. Never one to shy away from smudgy eyeliner, Kate went for an even sultrier smoke than usual by applying a purple-taupe shadow all the way up to the browbone. The color is what made this look so successful: it wasn't too dark (so her mother-in-law would approve) and not too light so you could tell she put in a little effort. To try this at home, use Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Velvet Plum ($26), then finish with a bit of black pencil and mascara.
