Sometimes I doubt that my anti-aging potions and lotions (like these beauty breakthroughs of 2010) actually work, don't you? I mean, I arduously apply 'em day and night, but when I don't see super measurable results, I can't help but wonder … are they doing jack for my imminent wrinkles?

We recently gave you a comprehensive wedding day beauty countdown guide -- covering everything from brows to Botox. But we wanted to expound on the hair color portion since we just caught up with Michael Canale, Jennifer Aniston's (see her sexiest styles ever here) long-term colorist (he did hers and Brad's wedding color for their big day -- sniff).

When you see tragic celeb mishaps in the tabloids -- hello, Paris Hilton's recent bare butt episode in Cannes (not her first slip-up, check this photo out) -- it makes you glad that your every beauty blunder, wild night, or fashion faux pas isn't documented, right? Then again, we've all experienced unauthorized Facebook tags of fugly and/or drunken photos of ourselves (learn how to never take a bad photo again by reading these tips) …

My husband loooves Halle Berry and swears she's the most gorgeous woman on the planet. I'd like to say I look a bit like her, but I so don't. Maybe if I use a little self-tanner (try these reader approved ones), get a sexy pixie cut (see other celebs who rock the cropped cut) and breast implants, I might somewhat resemble her (okay, I totally still wouldn't), but since I don't have the guts to chop off my hair or go under the knife, I'll start by at least copying her makeup look.
