Angelina Jolie usually plays down her full lips, but she picked a winner with this shade. The color is rich, not bright, and it complements her skin tone. Keeping the rest of her makeup simple, allowing the lip shade to take center stage, rounds out this look perfectly.

Once again, Miss Xtina goes all out with a look, and it works for her. But hot pink lips, combined with strong eye makeup and fake eyelashes, won't work for you in all likelihood. Choose a pigment rich shade that leans a tad towards its closest neutral cousin. Select a color that complements your skin tone, and keep the rest of your makeup neutral and simple.

When bangs are working, they're the best accessory a girl can have. Jennifer Lopez's soft, graceful bangs are the perfect solution for many women. A longer graduated bang is flattering and flexible, yet still makes a statement.

Severe rarely works. Mena Suvari's beauty is completely overwhelmed by the severity of these stick-straight bangs and bob. The bangs are also too narrow, crowding her face. Very few faces can get away with this kind of look, and even the lovely Suvari can't.

Retro headbands are making an appearance all over Hollywood. Milla Jovovich is a retro master. Her delicate headband is the perfect accessory to her retro hairstyle without looking like a costume. Keeping the headband simple yet giving it center stage and limiting the retro factor to one or two elements in the look is what makes this work.
