2012 has been dubbed the year of Tangerine Tango colour by Pantone. Lisa Haynes reveals how to find the most flattering shades for your colourful year ahead.

by Lisa Haynes.

Welcome to the year of Tangerine Tango. The global authority on colour, Pantone, has designated the reddish orange as its colour of the year in succession to Honeysuckle pink.

The vibrant shade is now being touted as a go-to in cosmetics because of its versatility. It’s exotic but in a friendly, non-threatening way, according to the Pantone colour gurus.

but whether you dance to the tune of Tangerine Tango for your lips, nails or even eyes, it’s clear the 2012 tone won’t be for everyone.

when refreshing your make-up bag for January, the key to finding your own colour of the year lies in your hair and complexion.

“Understanding your colouring is the next step in helping you to achieve a perfect make-up look,” explains Pat Henshaw, co-author of new book Colour Me Beautiful Make-up Manual.

“The aim is to create balance and harmony between your natural colouring and the colours of clothes and make-up you wear.”

by wearing your own bespoke brand of make-up shades, Henshaw believes you will not only feel good but look younger, healthier and fitter.

Here’s how to discover your colour palette for 2012 and beyond: Light your overall look is pale and delicate. The undertone of your colouring can be warm, with golden tints to your hair and a few freckles on your skin, or cool, with ash tones to your hair and a slight pinkish tint to your skin.

Light celebrities: Uma Thurman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meryl Streep.

Make-up mantra: It’s all about adding subtle definition to your Light features. “Give a hint of colour to eyebrows and eyelashes – a warm brown mascara will be more flattering than black,” Henshaw advises.

“Try not to overpower your delicate colouring with strong shades of eye shadow or lipstick, even when it comes to more glamorous make-up. instead, use the right colours from your palette and apply them in different ways.”

Palette: Medium grey, light navy, cocoa and taupe for neutrals. Pastel pink, geranium, sky blue and apple green for accents.

Deep your skin can be porcelain to black but all your features – hair, eyebrows, eyes and lashes – are dark and defined so your make-up should be similarly deep and rich in tone.

Deep celebrities: Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz, Audrey Tautou.

Make-up mantra: your features have a lot of depth to them and stand out on their own. “Accentuate your look by complementing it with dark, rich colours, even when it comes to more subtle daytime looks,” Henshaw suggests.

“Blushers will add some depth to balance your colouring. Lipsticks in rich shades will look fantastic on you. However, if you prefer softer colours, you will need to ensure that your face is balanced with strong make-up.”

Palette: Black, aubergine, chocolate and pine for neutrals. Royal purple, scarlet, emerald green and true blue for accents.

Warm You’re the golden girl of complexions with skin tone ranging from porcelain with freckles to golden brown. Auburn hair tones go as light as strawberry blonde to dark rich red.

Warm celebrities: Christina Hendricks, Susan Sarandon, Florence Welch.

Make-up mantra: To enhance your warm and rich colouring, your make-up should always have yellow undertones. Henshaw advises: “Brown eye pencils and mascara flatter more than black for both day and night.

“Choose a blush powder with a warm undertone and simply apply with a bit more depth depending on the time of day or occasion. whether you want subtle lip colour or more dramatic lips, keep your lip colour warm with lovely, golden earthy tones.”

Palette: Bronze, olive, pewter and camel for neutrals. Apricot, primrose, terracotta and lime for accents.

Cool You have blue, grey or cool brown eyes and ash tones to your hair, be it blonde, white, grey, salt and pepper, dark brown or black. your colouring may have become cooler as you’ve aged.

Cool celebrities: Jamie Lee Curtis, Dame Helen Mirren, Dame Judi Dench.

Make-up mantra: Make the most of your distinctive colouring by wearing make-up colours with a cool or blue undertone. “Most cools have a striking look, so don’t be afraid to use brighter shades of lipstick and colours that will define your eyes,” says Henshaw.

“Cool, blue-based tones of eye shadows, blush and lipstick will always look best on you regardless of what look you are trying to achieve. take your barely-there make-up up a notch by defining the eye area and do so with grey, blue and lilac shades of eye shadows and eye pencils.”

Palette: Charcoal, dark navy, spruce and purple for neutrals. Light teal, rose pink, cornflower and blue red for accents.

Clear your most outstanding features are your eyes, which are highlighted because of the contrast to your dark hair. they will have a clear, jewel-like quality to them.

Clear celebrities: Carla Bruni, Kate Middleton, Mila Kunis.

Make-up mantra: your eye make-up shades should always enhance and not detract from your eye colour. “As a Clear, you can have the choice of making a feature of your eye make-up or your lipstick but not both,” warns Henshaw.

“Forget the rules about matching your eye shadow to your eye colour – it will only make your eyes blend in with your look and you really should make them pop. Bright colours are great during the day, whereas an aubergine pencil with purple eye shadow will be more glamorous for evenings.”

Palette: Black, black brown, royal blue and soft white for neutrals. Blush pink, ruby, Chinese blue and evergreen for accents.

Soft You may have found a little of yourself in each of the previous colouring types, but didn’t fit exactly. You have medium depth of skin tone, blonde to dark brown eyebrows and mousy blonde to light brown hair – often with highlights.

Soft celebrities: Scarlett Johansson, Beyonce, Kim Cattrall.

Make-up mantra: The gentle combination of your hair, skin and eyes means that your make-up needs to be soft and subtle – but you still need colour and definition. Henshaw advises: “Your Soft colouring needs to be complemented with muted tones. Anything that is too bright or dark will detract from your face.

“Your eyebrows should always be defined with a blonde eyebrow pencil, while your eyes need to be lined with soft browns or mossy shades, not black.”

Palette: Rose brown, charcoal, charcoal blue and stone for neutrals. Claret, sage, soft violet and lavender for accents.

Henshaw’s money saving tip: “Once you understand your colouring type and your best make-up shades, you can limit the cosmetics that you buy, investing only in those that will make you look fabulous.”

At-home Rodial Crash Diet Kit, £99 (www.rodial.co.uk).

It’s the worst possible scenario: a bloated Santa belly and a bikini to squeeze into in less than a month. Seeking a shortcut, I let the professionals do the hard work with Rodial’s Crash Diet Body Detox. The treatment is designed to reduce that turkey feast-induced fluid retention in the legs, abdomen and arms and improve digestion to ease bloating. Amidst the fragrant candles and starry-lit black ceiling at The House of Rush, my treatment begins with some firm but relaxing dry body brushing to my legs, buttocks and arms to stimulate the lymphatic system. not everyone likes their stomach being touched, but I opt for the light brushing in a clockwise motion to get my sluggish system moving. Next I’m lathered in the Rodial Crash Diet treatment gel (£75) and then covered in cling film, so I resemble the Christmas ham. Snug towels cocoon me as I’m treated to a relaxing head and shoulder massage while the gel gets to work on my cellulite and water retention. After a series of manoeuvres, the film is removed and my skin is softened with a fragrant slimming body oil via vigorous massage. unlike other detox and wrap treatments where you’re often rudely interrupted by a shower, there’s no reason to leave the bed – making for a more relaxing treatment. As a finishing touch, I’m offered a Rodial Crash Diet Stick drink (£48 for pack) with diuretic properties to wave goodbye to water retention. I wouldn’t say I left the spa feeling miraculously honed and toned but, with tightened, glowing skin, this definitely gave me the kick-start to continue a January regime and allay those bikini fears.

A new report suggests that LinkedIn’s value has surpassed the $2 billion mark, based on recent investments from outside investors.

According to Bloomberg, hedge fund Tiger Global Management spent $20 million to acquire approximately a 1% stake in the business social network. The hedge fund specifically paid $21.50 per share.

That’s where the math comes in. According to SharesPost, an online marketplace for privately held companies, LinkedIn has 105 million shares outstanding. Multiply that by the $21.50 Tiger Global Management spent, and you arrive at a valuation of $2.26 billion.

It’s important to note that Tiger Global didn’t make a new investment in the company; it acquired its shares from an existing investor.

Because this transaction occurred on the private market, these numbers aren’t concrete (for example, SharesPost estimates LinkedIn’s value at around $2 billion). however, we think it’s safe to assume that LinkedIn is now a multibillion dollar company. Of course, that’s still a fraction of the price that Facebook currently commands, but how can you really complain about having a multibillion dollar company?

Do you think LinkedIn is worth $2 billion or do you think that valuating is too high or low? let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Aloha, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans! how was your holiday? Mine was pretty good. thank you for asking! So. shall we dive into the ocean together? Or, more specifically, shall we get to last night’s episode? Otherwise we might vex the dolphins of Lanai further.

The episode began where the last one left off, pre-break — when Kyle held a White Party for no reason and lost her shit after she told Taylor and Russell to go away on her lawn. And because the producers of this fine program had the foresight to install a camera in the back of Taylor and Russell’s limo, we got an insight into the Armstrongs’ scintillating, not at all canned, phony, and awkward post-lawn-rejection banter. “we could go back to Vegas,” Russell surmised, before both agreed about Camille having exaggerated the abuse claims Taylor made. And as Taylor pouted, her cavernous face weighed down all of its remaining mass with emotion and giant peacock earrings, and one of her tiny, silver dollar pancake breasts cleaved out of the evening gown she bought at Buy Buy Baby only to need it taken in around the diaper area. it was all pretty hideous, and the only time we came close to any sort of realness was when Taylor said something about how maybe Russell shouldn’t have sent that threatening e-mail, and Russell shot her down, and then there was more pouting, and, thank God, we were done looking at Taylor until later in the episode, when that sockless Osteopath, who has a new chyron credit so he can seem more qualified to dispense therapeutic advice, pointed out that Russell didn’t seem to care whether he was affecting Taylor’s friendships when he sent Camille that e-mail. And that therapy session was such horseshit because, first of all, yes. The guy from Celebrity Rehab who also happens to be the Director of Osteopathy somewhere is not a real shrink, because with the exception of Michael Fassbender as Karl Jung in the major motion picture A Dangerous Method, there are no respected psychiatrists who consent to cameras in their sessions.  a side note about A Dangerous Method: that was bullshit that we didn’t get to see Fassbender’s cock. I know NOW that he’s naked in Shame, not ADM. So, I endured two hours of Keira Knightley going “Full Retard,” and for what exactly? a conversation about anal fixation? no to the thanks. I could peruse Bareback Brotherhood message boards if I wanted that kind of talk in my eyes. Which I do, but I’ll save it for the Rick Santorum fan fiction I’m yet to write, post-election results.

Luckily, with the exception of her voice through a phone later in the show, we were done with Taylor this week, and maybe even this season, depending on how the last few episodes shake out. And thank Goodness, because after last week, I’m exhausted — not to make this all about me in a Kyle sort of way, although I do appreciate your concern for my post–New Year’s energy level — thinking about whether or not Taylor was abused. Because if she wasn’t, and if she lied and continues to lie in Russell’s absence from this planet, and her intentions were to justify her separation from him after the charges against them became concrete, I really hope Bravo goes public with footage that damns them both in the ensuing trials. not just because I want some juicy hidden footage, you monsters. how dare you even suggest I am interested in an extended-cut version of this season (I am). but if television is in the business of employing a sociopath so invested in her own wellbeing around the consequences of her and her late ex-husband’s dastardly doings that she would allege she was abused when she actually wasn’t, the powers that be owe it to the fabric of this very society to set the record straight, if only because every time one woman lies about being hit, the whole world is set back centuries because we can’t automatically believe all victims of abuse when they have the bravery to come forward.

Hawaii! right? Hooray! a scene about how much these women pack, and then something about how crazy their accommodations are and maybe some footage of them wearing more makeup and jewelry in an airport then you or I would ever consider wearing to a Paris Is Burning–style Vogue-off? Yes, please!

The flimsy premise of this trip had to do with Mauricio’s birthday, and fine, we all have those. So Kyle rounded up her troops, sans Taylor, who was no longer persona gratona, and, so far, without Kim, who, thank God, is the lunatic stand-in for the Armstrongs whenever the “crazy” on this show descends into pitch darkness, when all we require is a dimmer switch.

One quick thing about Kim at the White Party before we go to the Luau — how precious was she when she asked Lisa about the Taylor drama on the lawn? “Has she been drinking?” Kim asked Lisa about Taylor, pre-dance sequence? As though the source of someone else’s troubles could be different than the source of her own! Was that great or was that great? It’s like when a grown-up cries and a baby offers him its cookie! That thing happens all the time, from my understanding of movies and cartoons. right? And the adult is like, “I don’t need this drool-encased half-nibbled upon Zweiback! I’m crying about an adult thing, like my messy divorce or being out of cocaine.” but the baby doesn’t know! The baby just knows “I cry, too, and cookies make it better.” Kim’s brain is the same brain. “thank God it’s not me this year!” she misunderstood out loud to nobody, then cackled like Jerri Blank watching a monkey wash a cat. when it comes to empathy, nobody is worse at it than Kim. Because how can you ever relate to another, unless that person is made up of the same bonkers? Even if that peer had once shared the common experience of being a Disney star? I guess what I’m trying to say is that Hayley Mills sends Kim’s calls to voice mail.

And speaking of Kim’s calls, it was like Christmas part Two when Kyle hit Speaker Phone in the First Class lounge at the Hawaiian Airline Terminal at LAX, was it not? you see, Kim had not yet appeared for the trip, even though their flight was leaving in 45 minutes. And as the other Housewives pretended to eat breakfast, Kyle decided to call her sister and ask where she was, because she and Siri hadn’t yet developed the relationship where Kyle will be like “Siri, where is my sist … ” and Siri will just say, “in a K-Hole, dummy.” So, soon we learned that Kim was still at her place, looking for her passport, because her driver’s license had expired since she used it for proof of age/W9 Reasons for Tuff Turf. And that Kim was, therefore, going to have to make a later flight. Meanwhile, where was Ken? Or, are we to believe Ken is not Kyle’s Sister’s Keeper/Sherpa? Yes, we are to believe that. but more and most important, it’s still and always all about Kyle, according to her grotesque gesticulations telegraphing suchly. it must be so stressful for poor Kyle Richards to have a mentally ill sister who needs rehab as desperately as I need her to break out of rehab for enough time to film the RHOBH reunion, please God make sure that happens.

So, soon the non-Taylor and Kim girls flew to Hawaii. And Camille, bless her heart, made some ribald remarks about how she would prefer eight inches of freedom to a drink called sixteen ounces of freedom or something equally lascivious, and then added, in a nod to her “sexy Urkel” character, “did I say that?” which was terrific. And soon after, the ladies had to transfer to a private jet Mauricio had rented, and because it was small and had a propeller, all of the Housewives freaked out. Kyle clutched a copy of the Zohar to her chest, which I choose to blame on Gwyneth not Madonna, and Brandi took some Xanax on top of what I’m going to wager was Kim Juice, as its effect was loopy-making. So when they all finally arrived in Lanai, Brandi was acting out, and that was sort of fun, until it wasn’t.

When the ladies finally arrived at the four Seasons Lanai — which was so lush, even Adrienne and Paul, once he arrived, had to marvel at how unlike the Palms it seemed — much ado was made about how (a) Kim hadn’t yet arrived and how (b) Brandi enjoys showing off her crazy “Model in Europe in the nineties” body to anybody who will look at it.

And admittedly, so does Camille, when she’s not in her ever-present season two trench. get those two by a pool and stretch them out on adjacent reclining chairs, and you’ll be treated to a display of rippling ribs, buttered biscuits, and tanned giblets you’d only see on an ad for Tony Roma’s. a fun fact: I always confuse Roma, purveyor of ribs, with Jessica Simpson’s ex. I wonder if, in their courtship process, she did the same.

So, Camille and Brandi stretched out their H.R. Giger–ian physiques and wondered aloud whether a pool boy would be around to rub lotions onto their already-shiny gizzards. And sure enough, a portly native being paid the minimum wage sprayed both women down with what I hope in my heart was a combination of cooking oil and sugar water. “do my face,” Camille implored, and soon she was preening, mouth open, toward the spraying services of a Asiatic ectomorph who entreated her HD makeup-laden skin with a fine mist of SPF who cares.

Then, Lisa showed up, hallelujah, and it was like she’d summoned the spirit of Patsy AND Edina when she shot Brandi down with a single batted eyelash behind her sunglasses. And while we’re on the subject of Lisa’s lashes, when they wound up on the beach a scene later, even the dolphins in the distance could tell that Duchess Vanderfabulous had woken up hours before fruit was served to glue a pair of spiders onto her lids that would make Lambchop the Puppet look like a bulldyke. Those were really a lot, is all I’m saying.

And soon, Lisa and Kyle, who were dressed in age-appropriate muumuus, were entreated to the cliff-hanger that Taylor’s “marriage is over.” Yes, Mrs. Armstrong phoned Kyle to tell her suchly, and the ladies reacted with mouths agog, and the dolphins in the distance acted out, in Pantomime, what the ensuing few months would bring — suicide, lawsuits, Kennedy’s puberty … all of it. they may as well have produced a white sheet on which to project footage of Camille getting sprayed in the face from that native Hawaiian person. it was that ugly.

And that, in addition to some phoney baloney tomfoolery having to do with Brandi flirting with Ken in a feat of “let’s put a dirty T-shirt on Grandma so we can pretend she has an R-Rated point of view” Betty White–esque, old people minstrelry, was all for this week’s show. next week we have a feast of Kim-sanity on our tables, and I, for one, can’t wait to dig in after all of the teasing. She and Ken are coming! And they’re going to wreck havoc on our senses! Until then, Aloha! Which also means good-bye.

Youtube Beauty Guru Question?

after my dad had been overseas on a trip a while ago he brought me back a pair of tweezers.
i accidently dropped them a few weeks ago and my dad doesnt know and im trying to find them on the internet but i dont know the brand name.

the brand name isnt on them, just a little symbol at the bottom.
the symbol is a silver square with two figures kind of egyptian looking. theyre connected by the shoulder and the one on the left has his arm down and the one on the right has his up. the tweezers themselves are colourful with a slanted edge and im guessing stainless steel.

can anyone tell me what brand these are?
i am in need of serious help!

For years and years, more than 125 to be exact, the name Dumont has been synonymous with the world's highest quality tweezers production. this same high quality and obsession with producing the world's finest tweezers, surgical and medical forceps, and precision tools used in nanotechnology to electron microscopy, is now available in a unique family of cosmetic tweezers. These tweezers are not to be confused with cheap imports from unknown foreign destinations. The Dumont Brand Cosmetic tweezer family of products is produced solely in the Jura state of Switzerland, right in the heart of the famous Swiss watch-making industry. indeed, the craftsmen making these fine tweezer products require the same fine skills that are needed for making a fine Swiss watch.

Unknown tweezer brand! HELP!!?
