Nicole Richie: I Don’t Own Any Makeup

Nicole Richie: Hair is Easier Than Makeup
Kelly Jordan/Startraks

Despite the fact that Nicole Richie always looks perfect on the red carpet, she insists that when it comes to beauty, she’s hopeless.

“I actually don’t know how to put on makeup — at all,” she confesses to InStyle.com. “I have to get it done every time I want to wear makeup. I do not know how to wear it at all. It’s so bad.”

“I don’t even own it,” she continues. “I only own under-eye concealer, Maybelline mascara, and an eyelash curler.”

But Richie’s trademark off-duty look — funky separates and strategic oversized sunglasses — is usually punctuated with runway-ready tresses. Why? “I can do my own hair,” she explains.

New love … new look? Olivia Wilde — recently linked to Jason Sudeikis — visited the Andy LeCompte Salon in West Hollywood Thursday, and left with a wavy new shoulder-length do. Though the In Time actress has long been known for her lengthy locks, she did keep her ombré hair color and sweeping bangs.

Wilde was spotted at a University of Kansas basketball game with Saturday Night Live‘s Sudeikis in December, and cozied up to him again earlier this week in New York City. Perhaps the actress — who officially divorced her husband of eight years in October — is ready for a fresh start in more ways than one?

There’s something about Cameron! The actress returned to her There’s Something About Mary roots recently, debuting a choppy blonde bob while vacationing in Hawaii.

Though it’s obviously not a new look for the star, Diaz had spent the past several years with longer, slightly more golden locks — minus that period in 2006-2007 when she went brunette. But perhaps with a new year — and some new roles — ahead of her, the star was looking for a change. Tell us: What do you think of Diaz’s new do?

Whose ‘Hunger Games’ Hair Was Most Exciting to Style?

Hunger Games Movie Hair Lionsgate

Pink poufs, big braids, out-there dos — there were lots of crazy hairstyles mentioned in the Hunger Games books, and bringing those looks to life was quite the challenge for Linda Flowers, lead hairstylist on the set of the first film.

“There was so much hair-color work — more than any movie I have ever worked on,” Flowers tells BeautyHigh.com. But the volume of work was exciting, too. “There were no guidelines of what this future looked like style-wise, so I knew I could be creative,” she adds.

There were shags and bobs, bangs and pixies, and all sorts of crazy new looks in 2011. It seems that most stars wanted a change this year, and many of them made one — in the form of a big haircut.

Model Brooklyn Decker let her stylist take a whopping 10 inches off of her long blonde locks, while Evan Rachel Wood debuted a flattering short cut that took her into summer.
