Amazing! The new Christian Louboutin makeup line is set to launch in 2013. I am so excited that my good friend, Christian Louboutin will release a luxurious cosmetics line, Christian Louboutin Beaute, next year. The Christian Louboutin brand is synonymous with opulence and luxury and now he's bringing it to the beauty industry. Christian teamed up with Batallure Beauty (who's clients include Madonna and Justin Bieber!) to design the new cosmetic collection. Here's what Christian Louboutin himself had to say about the new Christian Louboutin Beaute:

Incredible confidence! Did you see AnnaLynne McCord's no makeup Twitter picture? Last week, the 90210 actress posted a makeup free photo - blemishes and all! - with natural curls. With her no makeup Twitter picture, AnnaLynne wrote, "I woke up this morning and decided I'm over Hollywood's perfection requirement. To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you! I'm not perfect--and that's okay with me!"

Eva Longoria's makeup looks fabulous all the time. Every time I see her, I am blown away by how youthful her skin is and how natural her makeup looks! Between red carpet events, Desperate Housewives and her L'Oreal contract, she has perfected the art of wearing makeup and having it look effortless. The secret is to keep it simple and chic, and Eva is never shy about giving props to her talented makeup team. Eva Longoria's makeup looks are a signature smoky eye with incredible lashes, bronze skin tone and nude lip. But the best part about Eva - my sister at heart - is that she is just as beautiful without any makeup on. Do you have a favorite 2012 Eva Longoria makeup look?

What do we mean by Frame Your Face? Well, we know that our eyes are the windows to our soul, so what does that make our eyebrows? The window frame, of course! So it’s always important to have great brows. I showed you a few months ago that I’m never without my brow kit in my makeup bag, and strong brows have been a growing trend in fashion editorials over the course of the last few seasons—we saw even more of this in Milan within the last few days. If you’re hesitant to touch your own brows, many high-end salons have full-time professionals, who specialize in brow grooming, but if you’re ready to face your best face, here are some tips:

I'm a strong believer that a little bit of concealer, two coats of mascara and blush are all the makeup you need on a daily basis. Strong cheeks are in this season and I love the different blush shades out there from a frosted pink to peach to plum - it all depends on your skin tone and the shape of your face! To wear blush correctly so that it enhances your natural beauty and brings out your facial features, here are simple rules to follow when applying blush for face shape:

The latest beauty trend at New York Fashion Week obsession is the cat eye. Cat eyes are a versatile look because you wear retro winged liner, as seen at BCBG or dramatic, like at Jason Wu. Although cat eyes have been around the beauty block, the colorful green cat eye from the Jason Wu runway is definitely different with a bit of edge, which I love! If you're looking to switch up your standard smoky eye this weekend, try this green cat eye beauty trend - just because it's New York Fashion Week Fall 2012 doesn't mean you can't try the beauty trends now!

If you watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians or any of their E! spinoff series, you've seen Kourtney, Kim and Khloe's makeup organizers that are to die for! The Kardashian's makeup organizer is see-through which makes it easy to spot which beauty product you need instantly. It's the perfect size for storing and/or traveling with your makeup and looks fabulous sitting on the bathroom counter. That can be difficult to pull off, but not for this set of makeup drawers. I don't know the specific brand of the Kardashian's makeup drawers but you can get one that is very similar from Muji for under $30. The Muji Acrylic Case 5 Drawers looks like the Kardashian's makeup organizer, is easy on the wallet and is super chic. Love!

Even though summer is still months away, you may live in a humid climate or simply deal with oily skin on a daily basis. There is makeup for oily skin available that will help you battle the shine and keep your makeup looking fresh and clean all day, you just need to find the right tools for you and your skin type. If you are on the market for makeup for oily skin, check out these four products below:

1. Always start with a primer because oily skin tends to have larger pores. Motives Perfecting Face Primer will minimize pores, help your makeup stay on longer and control excess oil with salicylic acid. Sometimes I even use this when I'm not wearing makeup for a soft effect!
