Ummm, did anyone else notice how ridiculous Emily Browning looked at the premiere of "Sucker Punch"? I mean, we're all for playing with makeup and trying new looks -- but come on. The glittery eyeshadow, her overly bronzed cheeks and those lips? I'm thinking the usually adorable celeb should've stuck to one of her trademark looks instead .

I thought this might really be the worst makeup we've ever seen, so I did some serious searching ... which is how I found these other worst looks (yes, there can be more than one worst in our book of beauty felonies).



Coming in at No. 5: Christina Aguilera's Unblended Shadow

Aguilera is charged with applying a multi-hued eyeshadow look (sort of how Rihanna's eyeshadow looks here). Which is totally fine ... if you blend the shadows well. Unfortunately, she didn't, which resulted in clearly defined bands of color, a makeup artists' worst nightmare.

The jig is up, Lohan, your

Soooo, I don't know about you, but bathing suit season kind of snuck up on me this year. I've been avoiding the scale and spending a little too much time with my friends Ben and Jerry.

I know; it's a tough one. Especially when there are gorgeous reds like these and all the new hot pinks and cool coral lipsticks out there. But it's hypothetical question time, so put on your thinking caps and answer this:

If you could only wear one shade of lipstick for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

Skirt weather is definitely MY kind of weather, so I'm obviously excited to shop for the cutest skirts for spring. The only problem? It's hard to find a flattering skirt when you have skinny legs and no hips. But not anymore ... at least not with this guide.
