What Style of Beauty are you Selling?

What you look like says a lot about you. It's a reflection of how you feel about yourself. The question is what are you selling?

Are you polished and chic or a fashionista who marches to your own beat? Whether you fluctuate between styles or have your own signature style, here are five celebrity beauties that have created their own unique brand that remains unforgettable. Tell us if you see a bit of yourself in any of these amazing women.

Diana Ross, Seductive and Powerful

With Billboard Magazine naming her Female Entertainer of the Century in 1976, this diva has a lot to live up to. Ross does so not only with her powerful voice, but also her approach to beauty. Ross emphasizes multiple features with her long black mess of curls, bold red lips, smoky eyes and lush lashes. Ross’s look grabs attention and plays up a woman’s ability to be a seductress.

Audrey Hepburn, A Graceful Classic

One famous image exists in the minds of millions. She wears a long black dress with a full skirt, a sparkling tiara sits on top of her head, a pair of large black sunglasses cover her eyes and a playful smile is spread across her face. You don’t have to remove the sunglasses to realize that this image is of Audrey Hepburn. She is a style icon whose look will continue to inspire women for generations to come. When we think of classic we will always think of Audrey.

Eryka Badu, A Consciously Natural Beauty

It’s easy to see why Ebony Magazine recently named Badu an “It” Icon. Her confidence shows through in her natural beauty. Badu leaves her long curly hair unprocessed and frequently wears colorful head wraps. The only visible traces of makeup on her skin are her glossy lips and lightly lined eyes. She is an individual who brings the bohemian style center stage and makes you proud to be a woman. Her look says she knows who she is and knows how she wants to live her life, which is on her own terms.


Michelle Obama, Polished and Confident

America's first lady has brought a breath of fresh air to the Washington DC style scene ever since she and the first family moved into the White House earlier this year. She is on every best dressed list and Americans watch her anxiously to see what her next fashion statement will be. Americans look forward to Mrs.O’s signature style of natural makeup, bright smile, and flawless features. She shows women that you can have it all: intelligence, family, romance, style and beauty. She is a beauty with a purpose.

Lady Gaga credits Winehouse on her look saying, "I will always have a very deep love for Amy Winehouse. Because of Amy, very strange girls like me go to prom with very good-looking guys." She proves that daring makeup can work.
