You've got giant sweat stains on your Geren Ford grommet dress.

They're not pretty, they won't respond to dry cleaning, and another outfit bites the dust. Sound familiar?

If you're one of the unfortunate souls who suffer from excessive underarm sweating (officially called axillary hyperhydrosisBut unlike Botox for the underarm area, which lasts only three to four months, costs upwards of $2,000 per treatment and, well, hurts,

For years redheads have been told to avoid fashion and makeup in bright shades of red, coral and pink.

Well, look who's proving the experts wrong.

Coco Rocha (at last night's annual New Yorkers For Children Spring Gala) and ScarJo (at Paris Fashion Week) bucked this staid advice and donned radiant red lip color despite their fiery locks. And don't they look fierce?

So what if both are newbies to the redhead club - we think is a trend in the making. Don't you just love when the style gurus get it wrong? I do, because it means I have license to shake things up and try verboten beauty moves, instead of my usual (read: boring) pink gloss, black mascara and shimmery beige shadow.

I'm thinking cherry red lips and major black liner tonight -- watch out Glamour Do's and Don'ts!

We can breathe now.

Lindsay Lohan's very own self-tanner, Sevin Nyne, has launched exclusively on Sephora.com today.

The $35 self-tanning mist has been formulated with the usual DHA (the carbohydrate that darkens skin) but also includes caramel to deepen the tan, plus chardonnay extracts and goji berry for natural skin-nourishing benefits.

If you're also suffering the breakup blues (in case you've been under a rock, LiLo and Sam have split) the Linds permatan may be just what the doctor ordered-after all, bronzed legs, a mini skirt and a cocktail have been known to cure all sorts of ailments.

The color lasts four to 5 days and if it's anywhere near as successful as her leggings line, 6126, it'll be sold out faster than you can say Chateau Marmont.

Drew was a vision in Gatsby-era glam at the premiere of her film Grey Gardens last night.

Was she inspired by Dior's flapper-tastic fall runway look (above, right), or was it an ode to her character -- little Edie Beale -- in the HBO movie, which airs on April 18th at 8pm? Either way, she gussied up for the paparazzi in brilliant red lips and a fab Twenties-style Alberta Ferreti gown. Her classic finger-wave 'do and head piece completed the nod to flapper fashion and made for a dazzling old Hollywood, red-carpet entrance.

Haven't even pulled your spring wardrobe out from under the bed yet? You may want to think of skipping over jumpsuits and Hammer pants and going directly to glam.

Lots of acne news lately on StyleList ... and here's more:

Launching this month at Sephora, Dr. Frederic Brandt's new anti-acne line Blemishes No More attempts to achieve what no one thought possible -- get rid of zits without leaving your skin dry, red and irritated.

"This line represents a quantum leap for us," says Dr. Brandt, creator of Dr Brandt Skincare and dermatologist in Miami and New York City. The collection has been in the works for about a year and relies on a new proprietary complex he calls Active Impurity Shield, or simply "The Shield" to target and heal blemishes.

I often have stiletto anxiety -- will I be able to walk like a normal person, if I wear the killer shoes that make the outfit?

The answer has always been no, until now.

I recently had the pleasure of taking the LEGWORK workout (as seen in ELLE and Allure) and workshop for sexy high heel walking. Created by women's shoe designers Victor Chu and Cece Chin, the workout was designed to strengthen your core muscles (abs and back), sculpt and tone your legs from hip to toe, and to teach you how the experts strut their stuff in stilettos. It's an hour of training for runway-worthy high heel walking and it's a real self-esteem booster.

In case you haven't heard, LiLo and DJ Sam have split over cheating rumors -- it's all over Twitter.

Now to deal with the breakup aftermath: puffy eyes, dark circles, dull, tired skin and any stress-induced breakouts. Good thing we know a fair bit about how to camouflage, downplay and otherwise blur these issues.

HIDE THOSE CRYING EYES: As far as puffy eyes go, the best thing to do is apply a cold compress, but you can also use cold, soaked tea bags to calm the area (as long they're not earl grey), or refrigerated eye gel (we love Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel).

Who wants to wait for an engagement ring, just to get their hands on a little bling? With the sparklers in every other new beauty product, you don't have to. That's right, diamonds are officially the new "it" beauty ingredient -- despite the fact that last Friday the unemployment rate hit 8.5%, the highest it's been since 1983, according to the New York Times.

For such tough economic times, we're shocked at the surge in luxurious beauty products and services related to diamonds. We've seen anti-aging serum (the La Prairie item we wrote about earlier this week), body wash (Nivea and La Mer), lip gloss (Sally Hansen), you name it.

And now -- for the low, low price of $2000 -- Scott-Vincent Borba offers a Diamond Dermabrasion Facial to Hollywood's elite. How could a one-hour spa treatment cost that much, you ask? It's all about the precious gems.

If you haven't heard already, there's a new filler in town -- Evolence -- and it's about to take the cosmetic procedure world by storm. The latest wrinkle filler is all natural and that makes it a bit controversial.
Evolence is made of purified porcine collagen, a.k.a. Miss Piggy. It's commonly used to plump up laugh lines (nasolabial folds), the same way doctors use hyalurionic-acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane.

We asked Dr. Ariel Ostad, a New York City dermatologist what all the fuss was about. "Other fillers tend to cause bruising or swelling at the injection site, but with Evolence, patients get great results with little to no downtime. These results last six to 12 months and the cost is comparable to the other fillers on the market. Plus, there's no need for patients to come in to the office for pre-injection allergy testing," says Dr. Ostad.

When we asked if observant Jewish patients were concerned about the potentially taboo source of the collagen, Dr. Ostad explained that as long as the drug is used for medical purposes, and not ingested, it's 100% kosher. Looks like Evolence is going to be a big hit with the lunchtime procedure set -- not that we know anyone who would do that!

Ever wonder how celebs manage to look polished 99% of the time they leave the house when you can barely find ten minutes to shower every morning? Especially in tough times like these, most stars don't have an entourage of beauty elves tucked away in the attic.

What they often do is drop by popular chains like Fantastic Sams for bargain blowouts that leave them looking like they spent the big bucks. Yes, really -- we've got the scoop: For $30, anyone can have a good hair day, and you know it's reliable because stars like Tori Spelling and MK wouldn't risk anything less.

The recession has taken its toll on everyone and to that end there are sales, sales, sales. But one sale you shouldn't take advantage of involves cosmetic procedures.

A., a thirty-something woman living in Manhattan, saw an ad for a seemingly reputable NYC medical spa offering a Botox special -- about $250 per vial. She had been thinking about trying it for a while and at these prices, she couldn't resist. Unfortunately, the results were less than stellar -- "It wasn't just swelling! They ruined the next two months of my life. They put the Botox so close to my eyes that it prohibits me from squinting! I won't take my glasses off. I actually look older!"

Bangs

    Bangs are big this season and this tress trend is showing no sign of slowing down. If you're considering the look, use these celebrities as inspiration: sleek and sexy like Tyra Banks, long and choppy like Reese Witherspoon, an updated pageboy like Katie Holmes' and everything in between. First up? British beauty Kate Beckinsale made an appearance at the Calvin Klein Fall 2009 show with these blunt bangs added to her signature long coif.

    Leighton Meester debuted fringe bangs at the Proenza Schouler Fall 2009 show. The Gossip Girl star's new 'do is definitely a step up from her character's Upper East Side preppy look.

    Keira Knightley is the epitome of French chic at the Chanel Spring 2009 Haute Couture show with blunt, thick bangs. To recreate Keira's hairstyle, use a large round brush to curl the ends. Smudge liner around the eyes and finish with mascara for the star's smoldering look.

    Janet Jackson is famous for her always-changing look. Her newest reincarnation? She lost 60lbs pounds and added blunt bangs to her super straight long locks.

    The "Rachel" may be ancient history, but women still look to Jennifer Aniston for hair inspiration. The Marley & Me star couldn't resist mixing up her look with layered bangs while shooting a scene in Miami.

Doesn't it seem like everyone's getting bangs these days? But the big question is, what are they hiding beneath that fringe?

In an effort to curb discretionary spending (can you really call essential beauty maintenance discretionary?), many women are cutting down on pricey treatments and finding creative alternatives. According to Suki Duggan, owner of New York City salon Donsuki Townhouse Salon, "One of my fashion industry clients lost her job and mentioned that she used to get Botox every 3 months, but now she can only swing it twice a year."

What would you say if we told you that a fragrance could make you seem eight years younger? According to clinical trials conducted by Harvey Prince & Co., on AGELESS, the company's new and first anti-aging fragrance on the market, this juice may make men perceive you as eight to 12 years younger.

It's all about noneal, a chemical our bodies produce as a result of the breakdown of fatty acids in the skin, which in turn produces an aging odor commonly found in men and women over 40. According to Wataru Takekoshi, a scientist working for the Japanese skin care company Shiseido, the breakdown results in a type of unsaturated aldehyde which emits an unpleasant "greasy" odor with grassy undertones. Takekoshi continues to say that this particular body odor is rarely found in people in their 20's or 30's - but can be very prominent beginning at around age 40. AGELESS perfume is meant to counteract this natural aging odor.

Studies show that men tend to associate the smell of roses with older women and the smell of fruit like apples and grapefruit with younger women. With this in mind, the AGELESS formula is based on the body's natural chemistry and contains notes of pink grapefruit, mango, pineapple, leafy greens, pomegranate, jasmine and musk, as well as oils of Lily of the Valley and peony. If this isn't a cue to toss that rosewater splash, I don't what is.

    Spring has sprung - and in fragrance language that means it's time to trade those heavy winter perfumes for lighter, fresher scents. We scoped the shelves for the best of the season - so whether you prefer floral, fruity or musk, these new scents are sunny days, in a bottle.

Age-Defying Beauty - Expert Tips

    Who says it's all down hill after 40? Many of Hollywood's leading ladies reach their career - and beauty - peaks at at 45, 55, even 65. So we asked four beauty experts, who are over 40 themselves, for advice on the cosmetic needs of mature women - like hair styles that shave years off your look, the best makeup shades for older women, and skincare that can reverse aging (really!). Read on to get your biggest age-related questions answered, and look absolutely fabulous at 40 and beyond.

    TIP: WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN
    "It's so much easier to prevent the aging process with daily sunscreen use than to try to repair it after the fact," says Dr. Doris Day. For an optimal anti-aging skincare routine to ensure gorgeous skin like Meryl Streep's, Dr. Day recommends looking for products that contain wrinkle-fighting retinoid, anti-oxidant vitamin c, anti-inflammatory niacinamide and skin-soothing caffeine.

    TIP: YOU CAN REVERSE AGING
    Simply using sun protection and avoiding excess ultra violet rays allows your skin to naturally repair itself. An anti-aging skincare routine will amplify results, for skin that looks taut and even like Vanessa Williams'. "Adding dermatologic procedures like chemical peels or laser treatments can then dramatically improve your skin further," says Dr. Day.

    Joe Corrigan, Getty Images

    TIP: INVEST IN A PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT
    Choosing the right doctor-administered treatment depends on your age, and if done correctly, can give spectacularly age-defying results (Exhibit A: Madonna's complexion is better than that of most 30 year olds). In your 20s, Botox prevents aging by freezing muscles from wrinkle-causing motions. For moderate aging, injectibles like Restylane and Juvederm beautifully though temporarily fill volume loss. For older pigmentation damage and wrinkling, the Fractional CO2 laser known as the "Total Fx" is the gold standard for skin resurfacing, with downtime as little as five to seven days, says Dr. Day.

    TIP: TRUST A PROVEN ANTI-AGING CREAM
    We asked Dr. Day for her favorite age fighters: "Olay's new Pro-X Hydra Firming Cream contains peptides, which increases collagen production for firmer skin, and niacinamide, which accelerates cell renewal to both treat and reverse past skin care damage. Clinique's Superdefense SPF 25 combines an anti-oxidant punch with full spectrum sun protection, and comes in special formulations for different skin types."

    TIP: WEAR NATURAL MAKEUP SHADES
    Stick with muted taupes, coffees, creams and blacks to enhance the shape of your eyes, and be wary of high shimmers that can accentuate lines. For a pop of color, choose either your cheeks or lips to highlight - but be careful not to choose a vampy dark lipcolor as it can age you, advises Sandy Linter, Lancôme's Beauty at Every Age Expert.

    TIP: SWITCH TO CREAMIER MAKEUP
    Take a cue from Jane Seymour and pay attention to texture, not just color in your products. Lip items should be moist and facial products like foundation and concealer should be creamy instead of thick so they don't migrate into lines. "You have to like the way it feels when it goes on," adds Linter.

    TIP: KEEP LIPSTICK IN PLACE
    For lipstick that lasts like Sophia Loren's, always line with a neutral pencil first, and then fill in your lips to provide a base for color to adhere to. Next, apply a moisturizing lip color that is rich, not runny, to the lip. If you want to add a smidge of gloss, apply only to the center bottom lip so as not to over-gloss, says Linter.

    TIP: DON'T SKIMP OUT ON MAKEUP
    The biggest cosmetics mistake older women make is to not wear any makeup at all, says Linter. Age draws some of the natural color out of skin, so even a light application can do wonders to refresh and re-engergize a face, a la Christy Brinkley's glowing complexion. "Products have improved drastically over the years - don't be afraid to go to your local beauty counter and experiment!" adds Linter.

    TIP: BANGS MAKE YOU LOOK YOUNGER
    "Bangs can make you look younger," says says Luke O'Connor, Suave Celebrity Stylist and co-owner of Lukaro salon in Beverly Hills. "Pick a style that accents your face to soften and bring out your best features." A soft fringe or side swept bangs, like Angela Basset's, are both very youthful.

Nicole Farhi model makeup
SHOW: NICOLE FARHI

MAKEUP: VAL GARLAND FOR M.A.C

BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Irreverent innocence -- an update on forties glamour

face chartTHE SCOOP: "The look is irreverent innocence, 1940's, beautiful dewy skin and a sinful mouth," says Garland, the lead makeup artist at the Farhi show. With the beautifully wearable, softly structured silhouettes, the wine-stained lips and warm, misty (not smoky) eyes just made sense. For a change, the models were not completely mattified, and let me tell you, a little moisture goes a long way for gorgeous looking skin. The look was ladylike and sexy-empowering. Strong brows were the perfect foil for all the rich fabrics and jewel tones. This was a show to inspire a head-to-toe fall makeover.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Garland blended M.A.C Pro Gloss in Copper Walnut from lid to brow, patted it across the eyes with her fingers and wrapped down around to the tops of the cheek bones. Then she created satiny skin with Moistureblend Foundation applied only where needed. M·A·C Pro Lipsticks in Dark Purple and Sin were pressed onto the lips with her fingers for a dark stain with hazy edges.

SHOW: HOUSE OF HOLLAND

MAKEUP: LUCIA PICA FOR M.A.C

BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: From the neck up, she's a lady

house of holland face chartTHE SCOOP: I can't help but think of art class when reporting on House of Holland's fall collection. On the other hand, if you look at the models from the neck up, you might feel as Lucia Pica did: "she's a polished sophisticated woman, a femme fatale." While the clothes were a straight-up homage to Pantone chips, the beauty was classically feminine. Pica gave us an unexpected jolt of deep burgundy on the lips and smoky eyes that were inspired by the 1920's. I guess this is the ultimate expression of Forrest Gump-fashion week is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: For the eyes, Pica used M.A.C Pro Chromaline in Black Black and White, mixed together and blended over a layer of Vaseline in a round 1920's shape over the eyelids creating a sheer gray wash. She dabbed Clear Lipglass under the inner corners of the eyes. She defined the face with Sculpting Powder in Sculpt, low on the cheekbones. To complete the look, Pica painted on Lipstick in Cyber with a brush for a precise 1920's shape, then patted on Lip Mix in Crimson over the first layer to create a more reddish purple.

SHOW: TODD LYNN

MAKEUP: TERRY BARBER FOR M.A.C

BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Tilda Swinton in a remake of Mad Max that's set in Siberia - an ecclesiastic natural beauty

todd lynn face chartTHE SCOOP: There's nothing forgiving about skintight black leather pants, but they sure do look hot on models with impossibly skinny, long legs. Paired with body-skimming jackets and sky high Louboutins, London designer Todd Lynn's collection was certainly chic, if a bit grim in its austerity. Terry Barber's description of the makeup inspiration for the show followed suit: "Imagine Tilda Swinton in a remake of Mad Max but set in Siberia - ecclesiastic natural beauty." Though that reference is a bit obscure, it's not lost on me as I look at the models' pale, matte skin, peach-rimmed eyes and grey-tinged lips. Grey lips are an emerging trend we've been seeing at both NY and London Fashion Week. It'll be interesting to see it this trend continues, or if it makes it off the runways and on to our lips.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Barber brushed M·A·C Pro Loose Powder in Peach along the lower lashline and applied it over lids to set the concealer creating a "tired peach" lid. Next was M.A.C Pro Eye Pencil in Pale Yellow drawn into waterline and between lashes, which were combed through with Select Cover-up Concealer. Lip Conditioner blended with Eye Pencil in Ebony were applied to the lips in a thin, sheer layer.

SHOW: VIVIENNE WESTWOOD RED LABEL

MAKEUP: GORDON ESPINET FOR M.A.C

BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: High school cliques - are you a Siren, a Prep or a Goth?

THE SCOOP: Westwood's Red Label show hit on all her signature moves: tartan, corsets, décolletage, asymmetry and debauchery. The designs ran the gamut from loose knits to tight, tailored dresses and suits, so it's no wonder there were so many makeup looks to go with them. The venerable Gordon Espinet, makeup guru at M.A.C, explained that the looks were inspired by girls in different high school cliques. He certainly had his team working overtime to produce fierce eyes and lips-just not on the same girls.

GET THE LOOK - THE SIRENS: The cat eye makes a comeback with M·A·C Fluidline gel liner in Blacktrack applied to the top lashline in a 1950's wing shape. Espinet finished the look with Pro Lash in Coal Black on the top and bottom lashlines.

GET THE LOOK - THE PREPS: For these lush lips, use M·A·C Lipstick in Girl About Town - applied as an opaque layer of fuchsia, followed by Cremesheen Glass in Ever So Rich.

GET THE LOOK - THE GOTHS: Espinet created a dark, goth mouth with M·A·C Pro Lipstick in Full Chocolate.

model makeup at Giles
SHOW: GILES

MAKEUP: MIRANDA JOYCE FOR M.A.C.

BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Lite-brite lips

face chartTHE SCOOP: "The collection is quite structured so I wanted the look to be a bit undone-that's why we've purposely smudged the lip a little bit. It's a true bright matt-ish red but patted on so you get this soft, sexy mouth," explains Joyce. With clothes that are black, white and gray all over, your eyes are immediately drawn to the blazing red lips. I guess that means nude lips won't be the only game in town come fall, which is great news for all the pale-skinned ladies.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Joyce blended M.A.C Ruby Woo And Lady Danger Lipsticks together and patted them repeatedly onto the lips to create a soft round shape. The edges of the lips were smudged just before the girls walked down the runway.

SHOW: PETER JENSEN

MAKEUP: HANNAH MURRAY FOR M.A.C.

BEAUTY SNAPSHOT: Windswept flush

face chart peter jensonTHE SCOOP: Since the Danish government furnished Jensen with a research trip to Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, the collection featured layers of schoolgirl clothes. There were tights, capes, knit hats, plaids, cross-stitch patterns and short skirts. And thanks to Murray's vision for the makeup, "inspired by pictures of inuits - it's that beautiful wind-burned flush low on the cheek - weathered but still very pretty," the look really comes together. Even the hair looks a bit mussed from the elements. Our prediction? If you like Anna Sui's flower child frocks, you'll love Peter Jensen's Scandinavian school uniforms.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: Murray imparted an outdoorsy glow to the cheeks with M.A.C Pro Studio Finish Skin Correctors in Caramel and Terracotta. They were blended together as a low round flush. She gave the lips an orangey stain with Orange and Yellow Lip Mix patted on and then wiped off.
