Hollywood was just a little more glamorous on Wednesday when some of Tinseltown’s most stylish stars joined forces with their makeup artists at Dior Beauty’s private luncheon benefiting Operation Smile. Lauren Conrad,Whitney Port, Jessica Simpson, Sharon Stone, Eliza Dushku and others headed to the Sunset Tower Hotel’s Terrace Room, where they sipped champagne and divulged tips that they’ve learned from their makeup pros. “Never use false eyelashes,” Jessica Simpson told PEOPLE of the advice she received from her makeup artist, Jeannia Robinette. “The Shu Uemura eyelash curler and Dior Show [mascara] is what we use, and just keep putting more and more coats on.” Eliza Dushku believes that concealer is key, while Lauren Conrad praised the power of contouring. For Jenna Elfman, it was all about the eyes. “Black eyeliner on my lids. That just changed my eye in a way I had never known,” she said. The face of Dior’s Capture Totale skincare line, Sharon Stone, who did her own makeup for the event, said she learned the secrets of a good moisturizer at a young age. “My mom gave me [Avon] moisturizer when I was an adolescent and said ‘put this on in the morning and the night and you’ll thank me for it later,’” said the beauty icon. “I think really she’s probably the reason why I’m the face of Dior because I ended up having great skin in my mid life, so as a mid-life representative for Dior, I have the luxury of having even more wonderful skincare products at my fingertips.” – Michelle Ward

Jenny Craig Spokesperson Sara Rue: ‘I’m Done Losing Weight’

Eight months after signing on to be a Jenny Craig spokesperson, Sara Rue is at the weight she plans to stay. Dropping a remarkable 50 pounds, and going from a size 14 to her current 6, the actress says she’s comfortable with her body as is. “I’m done losing weight,” she tells PEOPLE. “I feel great, and I love looking like a woman. I love being curvy and having boobs and hips. It’s hot. I don’t ever want to be size zero.” Rue, who is now on Jenny Craig’s maintenance program, says she still has to work at keeping off the weight. “I do my workouts five times a week,” she says. “I work out with my trainer one or two times a week, and we run together. As long as I do cardio for 45 minutes to an hour each day I work out, I feel like I’m okay.” And while Rue keeps to a strict diet and exercise regimen, she admits that she always allows herself room for treats. “On the Jenny Craig plan, you can have a glass of wine,” she says. “So, yeah, I drink wine, I drink champagne.” But the best treat of all for Rue was landing the stamp of approval from her best friend’s boyfriend. “I hadn’t seen him in months, and he was like, ‘Holy s—t!’ really loudly and he kept staring at me,” she says. “I think he had the best reaction.” –Dahvi Shira
