PHOTOS: Britney Spears Launches Lingere Line
As E! Online reports, Britney Spears has unveiled not one, but two brand-new photos of herself sporting the latest looks from her sizzling Spring/Summer 2015 intimates collection on social media.
“Here it is as promised! New collection #Elvira from @IntimateBritney will be on sale next week!” tweeted the 33-year-old singer on Thursday, sharing the images with her 40.7 million followers.
The blonde bombshell, who was inspired by the classic 1940s pinup girl, is seen revealing her long, lean legs while rocking furs, jewels, and yes, lacey lingerie.

This isn’t the first time Spears raised temperatures with her sultry collection. Back in fall 2014, she launched “The Intimate Britney Spears,” a collection of delicate bras, silky kimonos, seductive underwear, and more.
“It’s stuff that you can wear on your own. You don’t have to be with your boyfriend to wear this kind of stuff,” said Spears to the E! Online. “It’s the kind of stuff that’s so comfortable and so light. It’s empowering for women, I think.”
“The line is for all shapes and sizes,” added the “Perfume” singer. “A lot of the things are really big and flowy.”

From her touchable golden tresses to that flawless face, it’s no wonder country darling Carrie Underwood is the global brand ambassador for Almay cosmetics — but she wasn’t always a beauty maven.

The 31-year-old self-proclaimed “makeup junkie,” who is expecting her first child with Canadian professional ice hockey player Mike Fisher, recently revealed to Huffington Post the one look she still regrets rocking.
“I tend to have a natural curl in my hair, but not a whole lot,” says Underwood. “When I was in college, I would put a lot of product in my hair and force it to be curly. And I definitely did that my first ‘Idol’ audition! I call it my ‘crunchy’ hair. That I might like to undo if I could.”
Fortunately, Underwood prefers keeping her look “Simply American.”
“It’s all about being confident, keeping things uncomplicated and fresh and pretty … bring out that natural beauty that I believe every woman possesses,” says Underwood. “You know, there’s something about everybody that’s like no other and is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s all about enhancing that.”
Piling on the gel also doesn’t hurt, either.

As the old saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Why wouldn't you want to dress those windows with some stunning curtains?

We're talking about eye shadow, of course! When it comes to accentuating your eyes, the typical rule of thumb is to wear a color the exact opposite of your iris hue. Consider the color wheel from your elementary-school art class — pairing colors directly across from each other on the wheel made both shades look more vivid. The same holds true for eyes and makeup: gold looks great on blue eyes, green peepers can seriously rock pink shades, and so on. But with brown eyes, that go-to hue is harder to define, as brown is a blend of several colors.
Good news, though! Because brown eyes have hints of so many different colors (and is a neutral color, too), they look good sporting the widest variety of shadow shades.
That said, we looked to celebrities on the red carpet to see what really made brown eyes pop. While a range of bronze, coffee and chestnut hues are an easy and flattering choice, purples and greens in various tones truly make chocolate eyes look stunning, regardless of complexion or hair color. (This is likely because blending purple and green make — you guessed it — brown.)
MAKEUP TUTPRIAL: Geometric Cat Eye With Gel Liner
To find the right shade for you, find your skin's undertone first. Warm skin tones will lean golden or olive, while cooler ones will have a blue or pink cast. For example, Lupita Nyong'o has a cool undertone, as does her pretty grape shadow to better suit her skin. Alternatively, Kim Kardashian's olive complexion looks best with a bronze pencil. (A creamy black pencil on both the upper and lower waterlines will also help your eyes stand out.)
