For years, supermodel Naomi Campbell has had luscious long hair, but this changed in November 2015. At the British Fashion Awards that month, Campbell showcased her new look – a short, layered bob that is fun, flirty and extremely stylish.

Lauren Conrad
Fashion and style icon Lauren Conrad has rocked her blonde locks for so long that we almost didn’t recognize her with her new hair color. 2015 saw Conrad say goodbye to her signature golden color and opt for a romantic strawberry shade instead. For those of you who have been wanting to experiment with a new hair color, let 2016 be the year that you do so!

Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is another star that swapped her long locks for a textured bob in 2015. Jlo’s was first seen showcasing her new cut in May, with the shoulder-length texture giving her a sophisticated vibe.

Kendall Jenner
Fashion model Kendall Jenner’s new haircut was debuted at the AMA’s in November 2015, and featured long, sleek bangs. Her new fringe gave her quite an edgy vibe, and, due to its length, can be styled in quite a few different ways. While Jenner may have had a number of different cuts and styles over the year, this is one that OROGOLD thinks will really catch on in 2016.

Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington was another celebrity that showed off some new bangs in 2015. While it can sometimes be off-putting when the same style is frequently seen, each of these gorgeous ladies have shown us that bangs can be so flattering when done properly, for just about any face shape.

Donatella Versace
Donatella Versace’s signature hairstyle for the past decade has been long and platinum blonde, but she decided to change that in June 2015, and her decision definitely paid off. Instead of her long, straight strands, Versace now rocks a textured bob, still in her signature platinum color. Her new bob is shoulder-length and extremely stylish, giving her a trendy and youthful vibe without going over the top.

Charlize Theron
In September 2015, Charlize Theron shed her shoulder-length locks for a pixie cut, a move that many of us would certainly consider to be very daring. However, Theron’s stunning bone structure works with just about any look, and OROGOLD thinks that she definitely suits her new style.

From flirty, textured bobs to sleek, long bangs to vibrant new colors, 2015 saw a variety of different haircuts on our favorite celebrities. If you have been inspired by any of these stars to switch up your own style, OROGOLD suggests doing it soon, so that you can begin 2016 with your fresh new look.

Women Who Are Changing Social Perceptions of Beauty

Social perceptions of beauty are constantly changing, but most people still consider models and movie stars, with their realistically unattainable appearances, to be the ultimate when it comes to beauty. However, certain women have been able to have a deep impact on others, using their unconventionally beautiful appearances to inspire others to embrace their own similar physical aspects that they may otherwise have tried to hide. OROGOLD takes a look at some of the amazing women who have been able to make a change when it comes to social perceptions of beauty.

Chantelle Brown-Young
While you may not recognize her name, you are much more likely to recognize Chantelle’s face instantly. At the early age of 4, Chantelle was diagnosed with vitiligo, a skin condition that causes patches of skin all over the body to lose their pigmentation – the same condition that Michael Jackson suffered from when his skin turned white. Chantelle faced years of bullying and being treated like an outcast, until she was discovered by Tyra Banks and made it to the last rounds of modelling reality show, America’s Next Top Model. Now, Chantelle has plenty of experience and positive exposure behind her, from starring in an Eminem music video to modelling for Glamour magazine to walking the catwalk at London Fashion Week. Photos from Chantelle’s social media accounts show off her multi-colored skin, highlighting that it is this rare beauty that has enabled Chantelle to stand out from the others, and inspiring others with the same condition to embrace their skin rather than be ashamed of it.

Jacalyn O’Shaughnessy
Jacalyn O’Shaugnessy is a woman who has had a variety of careers over the years, from delivery girl to a successful actress, appearing in everything from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids to Night Court. However, around the time when she turned 60, she left LA and moved to New York. At the age of 62, she was discovered by American Apparel, and broke some major stereotypes when she modelled lingerie for this huge international brand. The response to the adverts were incredible, encouraging women all over the world to not let their age hold them back from doing what they wanted to do. While lingerie models conventionally all have a similar look, Jacalyn shows us all that beauty and confidence does not fade with age.

Jennifer Lopez
Before celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce began making a name for themselves, beauty ideals were focussed on being a size zero and having light skin – something that is completely unrealistic for the majority of women out there. With their ethnic backgrounds and beautiful curves, these celebrities started to shift the way in which many women looked at themselves. Curves became much more sought after, as did a more bronzed skin tone, and this is something that currently shows no signs of slowing down.

Although social perceptions of beauty are constantly being challenged, there is still a long way to go before ‘beautiful’ becomes realistic. Beauty really is very subjective, and in order to be at your most beautiful, take OROGOLD’s advice and just always remain true to yourself and your values – your confidence is true beauty that cannot be bought.

Makeup Tips From Your Fav Celebs – OROGOLD Reviews

With teams of professional makeup artists getting them ready for every single close-up, it is no surprise that celebrities are able to pick up some of the most useful makeup tips. OROGOLD brings you makeup tips from your favorite celebrities.

Foundation on Your Lips
When going for a new look, after applying foundation to your face, apply some to your lips as well, to slightly neutralize the color. This tip, which comes from Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist, ensures that any color that you apply on top of the foundation, be it a bright lipstick or a shiny lip gloss, will last for much longer. Another tip when applying your foundation is to use a damp brush rather than a dry one, spritzing it with a bit of water, as this makes the foundation look much more natural.

Concealer Shade
Often, when using a concealer that is slightly lighter than your foundation, it shows up in photos, with the flash bouncing off the concealer. To avoid this, make sure that your concealer is the same shade as your foundation, keeping everything even.

Brightly Colored Eyes
When you want to brighten up your face with a pop of color on your eyes, a brightly colored eye shadow can often seem slightly tacky. A top tip from makeup artist to Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum is to skip the eyeshadow and opt for a brightly colored eyeliner instead.

Make Mascara Last for Longer
If your mascara is starting to dry up, there is an easy way to revitalize it rather than having to buy a new one. Add a few drops of saline solution into the tube, swirling the brush around to fully mix it in. This will add moisture to the mascara formula, reinvigorating it.

Test Your Lipstick
Before purchasing a new lipstick, it is essential to test out the shade against your skin tone, to make sure that it is a good match. Rather than using the back of your hand to test out new shades, use your fingertips, as the pads of your fingers resemble your lip color much more closely than the back of your hand.

Thicker Eyebrows
Those of you with thin eyebrows are likely to find it tiresome having to touch them up each day, however, there is an easy way to thicken them. Apply a nourishing balm to your brows each night before going to bed, as this gives extra strength to brows, as well as stimulates them to grow faster, meaning that in just 2 weeks, you are likely to notice that your eyebrows have gotten thicker. This also will make them much easier to shape and style.

Celebrities are constantly being bombarded with makeup tips and advice, so it makes perfect sense to turn to them when we want to know what works best. When applying makeup, no matter which style you are going for, OROGOLD reminds you to always make sure that you are using clean brushes, and purchase a brush cleaner if you find it difficult to keep your brushes clean.

Outrageous Anti-Aging Practices

There are bound to be extremes in all spheres of life. Skin care and anti-aging practices are no different from the rest when it comes to outrageous anti-aging practices. Examples of famous celebrities swearing by a number of bizarre treatments are all too common. Irrespective of what people say, the best way of ensuring healthy and beautiful looking skin is to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly and follow a proper skin care routine. However, can there be some truth to those wacky procedures as well? Right? Well, here are some of the funniest and weirdest practices that people have undergone in their quest for beautiful looking skin.

Placenta Regime
Yes, it has a weird name, but famous celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez are known to be fans of these protein rich formulas. Topical placenta is not only known to be highly beneficial for anti-aging, it is also known to be beneficial for acne prone skin. According to Harold Lancer, an MD at the Lancer Dermatology (Beverly Hills), having a placenta regime can help you to provide a noticeable lift to your skin. Adding nutrient rich placenta to your skin care routine should make post treatment care and maintenance extremely simple as well.

Vampire Facial
The Vampire Facial uses a needle based therapy. Before we get into the gory details of the therapy, let us inform you that Kim Kardashian is known to swear by the benefits of the treatment. The treatment starts off with a simple facial, but it proceeds to drawing out an ounce of your blood. This blood is then spun in order to extract the platelet rich plasma and is then topically applied to your face through small puncture wounds made by a pen-like device. As old world as this might sound, the treatment is known to boost your elastin and collagen levels and provide your skin with a unique texture and color.

Skin Needling
Skin needling, also known as collagen induction therapy and micro-needling therapy, is a non-surgical procedure that is used for facial rejuvenation. It requires the use of micro-needling devices to make perfectly controlled skin injuries using a handheld tool that consists of steel tines. These injuries are known to drastically increase the collagen formation in your body, thereby improving your skin.

Stem Cell Facial 
The Stem Cell Facial is considered to be extremely popular all over the world. It requires one to infuse mature and sun damaged skin cells with flawless skin cells in order to get healthier and younger looking skin. Stem cell treatments are known to treat a range of skin issues ranging such as rosacea, inflammation and hyperpigmentation.

Diamond Creams
Diamonds might be a woman’s best friend, but they are also known to do wonders for your skin. There are a number of companies that use these exotic ingredients in their skin care products to help their customers boast of flawless skin for ages. Diamond dust in creams and facial treatments is said to be amazing at exfoliating the skin. Leaving you with glowing and brilliant skin – just like a diamond!

Acupuncture Facial
Almost everyone has heard about acupuncture facials being a common part in skin care therapies. These facials are considered to be a simpler version of Botox therapies that use thin needles to increase the collagen production, boost circulation and relax your facial muscles.

Do these treatments work? Your favorite celebs certainly seem to think so. Why not give some of them a try and let us know what it feels like?
