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

It looks like The City‘s girl-next-door Whitney Port is getting ready to shed her wholesome image! The reality starlet and budding fashion designer announced today that she’s posing for racy men’s magazine, Maxim. “Ready to channel my sexy side!!” she wrote on her blog Thursday. “This is a pretty big deal for me because I’ve never done ANYTHING like this before. I’ve done my fair share of photo shoots in my career, but none of them were at the level of sexiness that Maxim is recognized for,” wrote the self-described “cutesy, girl next door type.” An image, it seems, that the reality star is excited to relinquish. “Doing this shoot will give me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and show people an entirely different side of me.” The City‘s celebrated good girl will join the stylish ranks of Maxim alums like Ashley Greene and Megan Fox.

To flawlessly finish her yellow Yigal Azrouel dress at last night’s MTV Movie Awards, Whitney Port decided to go subtle yet chic for her makeup. So the 23-year-old star of The City enlisted some help from makeup artist pal Amy Nadine, who today shared the step-by-step process of how she achieved Whitney’s MTV look, chiming in as a a guest blogger on the star’s web site. “Because Whitney’s Yigal Azrouel dress was such a statement dress, I wanted to create a beautifully soft make-up look that wouldn’t compete,” she wrote on Port’s blog. To achieve a flawless complexion, Nadine applied Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Radiance in #1 with a foundation brush and then followed it with a sweep of Armani’s Loose Powder in #0. For the eyes, Nadine drew a thick and heavy line on Port’s upper eyelids, using CoverGirl LiquiLine “for a 60′s Mad Men-inspired” look. And to add a little flush, Nadine applied CoverGirl Simply Ageless in Plush Peach to the apple of Whitney’s cheeks, while using OCC Lip Tar in Hush to complete the flirty yet high-fashion look.

Whitney Port Sued over Design Line

While Whitney Port‘s design career is taking off in stores, on the runway and on-screen, she may have hit her first major hiccup — a lawsuit filed by designer Adrienne Baravetto, who claims she helped Port design and launch her line (then called Eve & A) starting in 2007. As first reported by TMZ.com, Baravetto alleges she had an oral agreement with Port and her father, including a $80,000 yearly salary plus a 25 percent stake in the company. Baravetto also alleges that she did virtually all the design work and that the Ports haven’t paid her a dime. Port’s lawyer Michael A. Taitelman tells PEOPLE, “The lawsuit that Adrienne Baravetto filed on March 19, 2010 against Whitney Eve, Inc., Whitney Port and others regarding the Whitney Eve clothing line is baseless and without merit. Whitney Port is, and always has been, the designer of Whitney Eve. Baravetto worked for Whitney Eve for a short period of time ending in early 2008. For more than two years, she has been silent. For reasons that we will uncover, she has decided to make these unsubstantiated allegations at this time. The defendants will vigorously defend themselves, and upon the successful conclusion of this lawsuit in their favor, they intend to hold Baravetto and her counsel accountable for their reckless conduct.” Says Baravetto’s attorney Peter Maretz, “Ms. Baravetto did the heavy lifting for these designs and she just wants to get paid fairly.”

“The City” P.R. Guru Kelly Cutrone Turns Author!

Harper Collins

Lauren Conrad isn’t the only Hills alum working on her literary career. Kelly Cutrone, Lauren’s former boss at PR powerhouse People’s Revolution, is set to release her first book If You Have to Cry, Go Outside…And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You. The book, which will hit shelves February 2, will give girls advice on all areas of life with the same tough-love that the P.R. queen has become known for. “It’s kind of like the good, the bad and the ugly,” Kelly tells WWD. “It covers everything from marriages to relationships to jobs to….Even Ashley Dupré makes a little appearance in my book.” Kelly is no stranger on dishing out advice to young girls, acting as Whitney Port‘s mentor on The City. “I felt like there’s a lot of confusion about what it means to be feminine,” says Kelly. “I wanted to write a book that reached out to young women.” Other than advice, Kelly’s book is full of anecdotes from her personal and professional life as well as motivational tips, like “gather up your courage like an armful of free clothes at a McQueen sample sale,” to encourage up-and comers. And if her recurring role on The City and her new book aren’t enough Kelly for you, the P.R. maven will also be starring in her own reality show for BRAVO, titled Kell on Earth, set to premiere on February 1. So does this mean that Kelly will be retiring from the world of fashion? “P.R. is what I know how to do to make money and it’s what I’m really good at,” she says. “I think it’s a natural thing to say, ‘Oh, OK. Well, now Kelly Cutrone has to leave P.R., but that would be an old model and I’m not really interested in old models…” Hear more from Kelly on her book and future plans at WWD.com. Tell us: Are you excited to see more of Kelly Cutrone in 2010? Will you buy her book?–Andrea DeSimone
