Trend Watch: Would You Wear Bright Eyeliner?

Arlene Richie/JPI

It finally feels like spring, and the balmy weather has inspired us to shed our black wardrobe and start wearing bright colors and floral prints. Maybe the rising temperatures also inspired Lindsay Price to rim her lids with a lovely shade of lilac. We think the fun shade really emphasizes her gorgeous almond-shaped eyes. But we want to know what you think. Tell us: Will you wear brightly colored eyeliner this summer?

Amanda Bynes Goes Brown: Love It or Hate It?

Mia Junior/BuzzFoto

Nope, that’s not Lindsay Lohan in those chic aviators and blown-out brown locks, but we wouldn’t fault you for thinking it was. We hardly recognized Amanda Bynes yesterday as she stepped out of Jessica Galvan Studio in Hollywood, having swapped her all-American blonde locks for edgier dyed dark brown tresses. We always love seeing stars change-up their look — especially someone like Amanda, who usually sticks with a signature style. But we want to know what you think. Tell us: Do you like Amanda’s new hair, or do you think she should go back to the blonde locks she’s become more know for?

Eva Longoria Parker’s L.A. Shopping Spree!

Eva Longoria Parker got set for a stylish summer with a full-blown shopping spree at Rumor Boutique on Ventura Boulevard — and PEOPLE got the inside scoop on exactly what she bought. The Desperate Housewives star snapped up thirty-eight items in total, including a Voom by Joy Han dress in yellow (and six others by the designer), two foil-print dresses by Lure, five essential Revolver camis, J & Company jeans in turquoise and red, plus a playfully printed Palm Springs dress by Sydney. The reason for the spree? “I’m stocking up on summer dresses and clothes to wear in the warm weather!” she said. But in the end the star didn’t just stick with clothes. Eva also grabbed an armful of Vita bangles, Teong Kay geometric necklaces and Vannesa Tosoni’s rosary necklace — all of which she wore right out of the store. And she’s clearly not hiding her stash from hubby Tony Parker either, whom, she was overheard saying, told her to buy anything she wanted. And if that wasn’t enough to make us green with envy, Longoria recently revealed that her closet is already stocked with 200 pairs of shoes and 50 pairs of jeans!

Get The Look: Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger’s Brazilian Glow

As a Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger is definitely not shy about showing a little skin — and now, as part of her new ad campaign with Caress, she’s flaunting an all-over glow. We caught up with the singer behind the scenes this week at the video shoot for her remake of Duran Duran’s ’80s hit “Rio,” to launch the brand’s Brazilian Exotic Oil Infusions Body Wash. Troy Jensen, celebrity makeup artist and beauty host on msn.com’s Style Studio, gave us the scoop on creating her exotic makeup look. For fresh, radiant skin, he applied Guerlain’s Orchidee Imperiale Cream and Eye Cream plus Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizing Balm in Deep Tint. Then he dabbed Stila’s All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer on her cheekbones, followed by a dusting of Dior Essential Bronzing Powder and Bourjois Blush in Rose D’Or. And, of course, Nicole prepped for the shoot with the new Caress body wash — and you could never accuse the star of not actually using the products she endorses. We actually spotted a bottle of the Caress body wash in her own shower. (Okay, we were snooping!)
