			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><strong>A conference named &#8220;Languages mean business&#8221;, took place today at Brussels. A big number of representants of trade organizations, chambers of commerce, policy makers and language professionals discussed about the role of languages in business. It was decided the fact that even the English it’s the first spoken language in the world in 10 years the use of Spanish will increase, fact who will affect directly business.<span id="more-60"></span></strong></p>
<p>European Union Press Release:</p>
<p>In his welcome speech Leonard Orban, the European Commissioner for Multilingualism, explained the significance of the event: &#8220;This is a unique gathering: we have business and employee interests; language specialists and academics; policy makers; and interested individuals. It is a much-needed opportunity for all stakeholders to start a debate on languages and businesses which should trigger change in attitudes and bring real results.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among the prominent business representatives at the conference were Viscount Etienne Davignon, Minister of State and Chairman of the Board of Brussels Airlines; Simonetta Luz Afonso &#8211; President of Instituto Camões; António Gomes de Pinho &#8211; Chairman of the Board of Directors of Portgás and of the Serralves Foundation, in Portugal; Hermann Funk &#8211; Professor, Universität Jena; Paul Garrido &#8211; Responsable Ressources Humaines, Bouygues Entreprises France-Europe; Peter Mathews- Chairman and Managing Director of Black Country Metals Ltd, in the United Kingdom. Representatives from other European companies are also present at this conference.</p>
<p>The conference was convened following the results of research, published earlier this year<sup><strong>[1]</strong></sup> (see also IP/07/230), which shows that lack of language skills leads to loss of business. Companies that have a strategic approach to multilingual communication were shown to be able to boost their export sales by more than 40 % compared to their competitors without formal language strategies.</p>
<p>The same study went on to show that even though English is in the top position as the &#8220;lingua franca&#8221; for international business, there is also increasing demand for other languages. While around one quarter of the companies surveyed felt that they still needed to improve their English, a similar proportion felt the need to expand into German or French, with Spanish and Russian also featuring prominently in the ranking. Many companies – particularly large ones &#8211; also stressed their need for non-European languages such as Chinese, Arabic and Urdu, as they seek to expand into non-European markets.</p>
<p>According to a recent study in the United Kingdom, the number of people worldwide who are learning English will peak at around 2 billion in the next 10-15 years. Contrary to popular belief, this is actually bad news for monolingual English speakers. A previous study, by the organisation CILT, into the impact of language skills on the UK economy showed that UK companies export as much to Denmark, with a population of 5 million, as they do to Central and South America, with a population of 390 million.</p>
<p>As a follow up to the Business Conference, a new Business Forum on Multilingualism, chaired by Viscount Davignon will be launched. The Business Forum will bring together a small group of European managers who will identify how companies can make operational use of language management as part of their efforts to maximise their economic performance.</p>

<p><span class="titreLatestPR">L&#8217;Oréal Press Release:</span></p>
<p><span class="titreLatestPR"></span><img width="1" src="http://www.loreal.com/_en/_ww/webbox/img/dot.gif" height="15" /><br />
<span class="textLatestPR"> L’Oréal was selected today as one of the best performing companies in terms of spotting and developing leaders in a study of the Top companies for Leaders led by Hewitt, an internationally recognised Human Resources consultancy. L’Oréal is the only French company to appear among the top five companies recognised by this ranking and the only one to have appeared in three consecutive surveys since the initiative was launched by Hewitt in 2003.</span><span class="textLatestPR">The study, conducted by a jury made up of well-known independent authors specializing in leadership, senior academics and business journalists, ranks L’Oréal fifth out of a total 57 European companies responding to a host of very specific criteria.</p>
<p>The ranking recognises L’Oréal for its practices that allow leaders to find fulfilling job opportunities and to evolve within the group. These practices include giving high potential employees exposure and access to the top management team, investing regularly in recruitment and development of the best talents and putting in place tailor-made programmes to constantly improve the training of high-potential staff.</p>
<p>Initiated in 2001 and published every two years, the Hewitt Top companies for Leaders survey, conducted this year for the first time in partnership with FORTUNE magazine and the RBL Group, identifies the most representative companies in terms of leadership on a worldwide level.</p>
<p>Geoff Skingsley, Executive Vice-President, Human Resources, of L’Oréal, declared: &#8220;We are proud to be recognised today, for the third time in a row, by the independent Top Companies for Leaders survey as one of the five best companies for leadership development. This recognition provides us with strong proof of our ability to develop real leaders as part of a long-term strategy. Leadership quality is a subject truly at the heart of L&#8217;Oréal&#8217;s innovation and growth strategy&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><strong> This weekend Big Island was announced of beeinf for sell. The wonderful present offered by Raymond Hust to his wife. The start price for buying this island is 1.379 million$.<span id="more-57"></span></strong></p>
<p>Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd. Press Release:</p>
<p>Movie stars and captains of industry, take note: Big Island is back on the market this weekend &#8211; and if you act fast, for a cool $1.379 million you could be calling actor Dan<br />
Aykroyd and NHL hockey legend Doug Gilmour your neighbors.<br />
    The exclusive retreat, billed as one of the largest private islands in<br />
Eastern Ontario, was purchased in 2004 by American publishing magnate<br />
Robert S. Brown who &#8220;fell in love&#8221; with Loughborough Lake and bought the<br />
property as a surprise anniversary present for his wife.<br />
    &#8220;I thought we&#8217;d be spending more time there, but life has taken us in a<br />
new direction,&#8221; says Brown, publisher of HealthCare Week but best known as<br />
editor and publisher of the internationally best selling quote-a-day<br />
calendar Presidential (Mis)Speak: The Very Curious Language of George W.<br />
Bush.<br />
    Sales representative Scott Stren of Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd. says<br />
Brown&#8217;s decision to sell means all of those buyers who missed out on the<br />
island first time &#8217;round will get a rare &#8220;twice-in-a-lifetime&#8221; chance at<br />
ownership.<br />
    &#8220;Big Island really is a special property,&#8221; says, Stren, who will be<br />
showing the site to potential buyers and select media this weekend. &#8220;1.25<br />
miles of shoreline, a main house, guesthouse and boathouse, deer and beaver<br />
&#8230;all on a 34 km lake that celebrities call home. It&#8217;s pretty remarkable,<br />
made all the more special by the island&#8217;s unique history.&#8221;<br />
    Love, he says, has played a role in every transaction involving the<br />
island for almost a century. In addition to the Browns, previous owner<br />
Raymond Hust gave the property to his wife on her birthday in the 1950&#8217;s -<br />
and the first cottage on Big Island was built in the 1930&#8217;s by a Cleveland<br />
businessman who needed a getaway for discreet encounters with his mistress.<br />
    &#8220;Personally, I&#8217;m thinking Christmas present this time &#8217;round,&#8221; Stren<br />
says with a wink.<br />

<p><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;"></span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;"><font face="Calibri">National Geographic Press Release :</font></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;"></span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">WASHINGTON&#8211;New research reveals the top five hotspots around the world where languages are disappearing most rapidly, taking millennia of human knowledge and history with them. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Field research and data analysis supported by National Geographic and the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages have mapped the hotspots: 1) Northern Australia; 2) Central South America; 3) Northwest Pacific Plateau; 4) Eastern Siberia; and 5) Oklahoma and Southwest United States. Linguists K. David Harrison and Gregory D. S. Anderson, both of the Living Tongues Institute, and National Geographic Fellow Chris Rainier are conducting the work as part of National Geographic&#8217;s Enduring Voices project.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Some 7,000 distinct languages are spoken in the world today, and one of them dies about every two weeks. Harrison, who is an assistant professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College, says that the rate of language extinction far exceeds that of birds, mammals, fish or plants and that language loss often parallels loss of biological species.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Harrison estimates that more than half of the world&#8217;s human languages have no written form.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"> &#8221;If the last speaker of many of these vanished tomorrow, the language would be lost because there is no dictionary, no literature, no text of any kind,&#8221; he said.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Losing languages translates directly into losing knowledge, Harrison added. &#8220;Most of what humans know about the world is encoded in oral languages. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">When we lose a language, we lose centuries of human thinking about time, seasons, sea creatures, reindeer, edible flowers, mathematics, landscapes, myths, music, the unknown and the everyday.&#8221;</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Nearly all of the 231 languages spoken in Australia &#8212; such as Yawuru and Magati Ke &#8212; are endangered, and at least 50 of them have never been written. A July 2007 trip by the research team turned up a speaker of Amurdag on Aboriginal lands in the Northern Territory; the language had been thought extinct. Bolivia has twice the language diversity of all of Europe, the scientists said, but this diversity is in grave peril as dominant languages such as Spanish edge out smaller ones.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Harrison, Anderson and Rainier, who is a filmmaker/photographer and director of the Enduring Voices project, are traveling to the hotspots around the world to interview the last speakers of languages in critical condition. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">The project seeks to help revitalize these languages by recording them and providing cameras and other means of documenting them to the language speakers.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">The researchers used three main criteria to determine whether a region should be considered a Language Hotspot: diversity of languages spoken; level of endangerment (number and average age of living speakers); and extent of language documentation.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Rather than target individual languages, the scientists searched for linguistic diversity, looking for entire language families that were on their way out. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">&#8220;For instance, it would be terrible if Portuguese were lost, but if it was, there would still be the related languages of Italian, Spanish, French, Latin and Catalan,&#8221; Harrison said. &#8220;But if Basque went extinct, we would lose a whole language family.&#8221;</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Languages can disappear in an instant &#8212; such as when a small, geographically vulnerable community is struck by a tsunami &#8212; but most die a slow death, often victim of bilingual culture. &#8220;A child who grows up in a house speaking Mayan and Spanish will figure out quickly that Spanish is &#8216;better&#8217; &#8212; it&#8217;s spoken at school and on TV.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"> The child will unconsciously abandon the ancestral tongue,&#8221; Harrison said. &#8220;Ironically, adults think they are making decisions about languages, but often it&#8217;s actually the children.&#8221;</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Dozens of examples of complex bodies of knowledge packaged into little-known languages can be found in threatened and poorly known tongues spoken by small populations: The 4,000 speakers of Brazil&#8217;s Kayapo tongue, for example, distinguish 56 folk species of bees &#8212; some previously unknown to science &#8212; based on flight patterns, aggressive behavior, sound, habitat, geometry of nest structure, shape, color, markings, smell of the bee, quality and quantity of honey, edibility of larvae, quality of wax and other criteria.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">The top five hotspots identified by National Geographic and the Living Tongues Institute:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><br />
<strong>Northern Australia</strong> (Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia). Number of languages: 153. Aboriginal Australia holds some of the world&#8217;s most endangered languages, in part because aboriginal groups splintered during conflicts with white settlers. In 2007 the Enduring Voices expedition team documented such tiny language communities as the three known speakers of Magati Ke (in the Northern Territory) and the three Yawuru speakers, in Western Australia. The lone speaker the team could locate of previously declared-extinct Amurdag could barely speak the tongue &#8212; he strained to recall the echoes of a language he had last heard from his late father.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Central South America</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"> (Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia). Number of languages: 113. Running along the Andes Mountains and down into the Amazon basin, the region has extremely high diversity, very little documentation and several immediate threats. Small and socially less-valued indigenous languages are being knocked out by Spanish or more dominant indigenous languages in most of the region, and by Portuguese in Brazil. Anderson and Harrison visited the Kallawaya, a group who have been herbalist healers since the time of the Inca empire. The Kallawaya use Spanish or Quechua in daily life but maintain a secret language used mostly to encode information about thousands of medicinal plants, some previously unknown to science, that they use as healers. &#8220;How and why this language has survived for more than 400 years, while being spoken by very few, is a mystery,&#8221; Harrison said.</span></p>
<p></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Northwest Pacific Plateau</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"> (British Columbia in Canada and Washington and Oregon states, U.S.). Number of languages: 54. Every language in the American part of this hotspot is endangered or moribund (with youngest speakers over age 60). Indigenous languages spoken throughout the hotspot are threatened by English. An extremely endangered language, with just one speaker, is Siletz Dee-ni, the last of 27 languages once spoken on the Siletz reservation in Oregon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Eastern Siberia</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"> (Russia, China, Japan). Number of languages: 23. While the number of languages is relatively low, the number of language families is great, and they are highly endangered. Government policies in the region have forced speakers of minority languages to use the national and regional languages (Russian, Sakha), and consequently some have only a few elderly speakers. The region&#8217;s language menu includes the so-called mixed language of Mednyj Aleut, a curious blend whose first speakers were children who had one Russian parent and one Aleut parent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Oklahoma and Southwest U.S.</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"> (Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico). Number of languages: 40. Oklahoma has one of the highest densities of indigenous languages in the United States. This hotspot includes languages originally spoken in the area as well as those of tribes forcibly located to reservations in Oklahoma in the 1800s. A moribund language of the area is Yuchi, which may be unrelated to any other language in the world. As of 2005, only five elderly members of the Yuchi tribe were fluent. The Yuchi, originally from Tennessee, shifted to speaking English early last century when its children were punished for speaking their native tongue at government boarding schools.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span> </span>&#8220;The beginning of winter beauty blahs are not unusual,&#8221; according to</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">dermatologist, Susan C. Taylor, MD, who specializes in skin of color. &#8220;Many</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">women with brown skin do not protect their skin from the sun, thinking</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">their extra melanin protects them. What often happens though is that</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">without sun protection, they end up with an uneven complexion.&#8221; Women of</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">color, including Latinas, Asians, Indians and African Americans often find</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">that blemishes and dark marks follow them from the summer into the fall. To</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">combat this problem, women should use cleansing and moisturizing with</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">products containing an alpha hydroxy acid such as glycolic acid. This helps</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">remove the dead skin cells that contain extra pigment. If dark spots</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">remain, women can try an over-the-counter hydroquinone bleaching cream</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">(containing two percent hydroquinone) twice a day for 12 weeks or a</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">botanical brightening cream. Dr. Taylor&#8217;s Rx for Brown Skin Naturally</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Flawless Advanced Botanical Brightener uses the natural brightening effects</span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">  <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">of Bearberry, Black Tea, and Waltheria Leaf to battle brown spots.</span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>    </span><strong>Strong Nails</strong></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>    </span></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span></span>Many women choose to enhance their nails by wearing acrylic nails. And</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">instead of their own nails growing stronger and longer, the nail begins to</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">develop white spots, become soft, weak and break easily. Especially during</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">warm summer months, moisture can collect between the acrylic and actual</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">nail, creating a ripe environment for fungal or bacterial infection. Start</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">caring for nails by removing the acrylic extensions and cutting nails down</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">as far as possible. This allows nails to grow back healthy and strong. In</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">some cases, a doctor may also need to prescribe a medication to deal with</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">the infection. It&#8217;s also important to keep hands and nails well</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">moisturized. Try gently massaging cream into the nail plate. After washing </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">hands, always smooth moisturizer on to hands and nails.</span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>    </span><strong>Healthy Hair</strong></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>    </span>While heat styling is a given for many women of color, it can be</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">especially damaging during colder months. Add to that drier air, chafing</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">woolen hats and strong winds, and hair starts screaming for a winter</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">rescue. &#8220;In colder weather, hair is craving moisture,&#8221; says Dr. Taylor,</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">creator of Dr. Susan Taylor&#8217;s Rx for Brown Skin, who suggests washing hair</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">one to two times per week to keep natural moisture and oils. She recommends</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">that women use a moisturizing shampoo to gently cleanse hair of dirt,</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">always following with a rich conditioner. If hair is damaged, consider</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">using a deep conditioning mask once a week, using a hood dryer, which will</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">help penetrate hair with conditioner through the heat. For damaged hair,</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">try to avoid excessive heat and tugging from heat tools like blow dryers,</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">flat irons or curling irons. Instead, wrap hair and sit under a hood dryer</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">until hair is thoroughly dry. Or consider wearing hair pulled back into a</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">neat chignon or bun for a few weeks to give hair a rest.

<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>    </span><strong>The Skin:</strong> Skin is really the canvas for the make-up and if the skin has</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">imperfections, more make-up is needed to cover those flaws. Stars across</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">the board, including not-so-desperate Housewives Marcia Cross and Eva</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Longoria shined thanks to transparent make-up that accentuated their</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">gorgeous glowing skin.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span> </pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>    </span><strong>The Lips:</strong> This year, the emphasis was on the lips. While smoky eyes</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">have stolen the spotlight at past awards shows, lipstick is now back in a</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">big way. Whether it's moisture matte or a glossy formula, you can't go</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">wrong with shades of plums, reds and pinks. One of my favorites is MAC Viva</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Glam Lipstick in Viva Glam V ($14 at maccosmetics.com). It's got subtle</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">gold undertones that enhance the natural lip color. Both Katherine Heigl</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">and Christina Aguilera paired bold lip color with white dresses for a very</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">'classic Hollywood' look that made for a big impression.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span> </pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>    </span><strong>The Eyes:</strong> With bold lip colors, celebrities opted for soft eyes. Before</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">I even begin to apply eye make-up, I like to start with Olay Definity Eye</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Illuminator ($25.99 at drugstores nationwide) because it has multi-colored</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">micas that help to hide imperfections. It limits the amount of make-up I</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">need to use around the eye and this strategic use of make-up helped to</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">create a beautiful look that was anything but "over-done." Sunday night,</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">eyes were simply framed with false lashes instead of heavy liner. Celebs of</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">all ages, including America Ferrera and Teri Hatcher left the heavy eye</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">make-up at home, letting brighter lip colors speak for themselves.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></span> </pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span>   <strong> </strong></span><strong>The Cheeks:</strong> Make-up with too much shimmer is very distracting</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"> when</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">caught on camera and can create a lot of shine. Most stars, like Ellen</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Pompeo, stuck with subtle cream blushes that blend seamlessly into the</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">cheeks for a natural glow. My foolproof recommendation is Nars The Multiple</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">in Malibu ($36.50 at Sephora). It's a pinkish-brown cream that can be</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">applied with just your fingertips for sun-kissed cheeks. The make-up on</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">this year's Red Carpet reflected that "looking real" style without</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">appearing over-done, and cream blush was a key element in creating that</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">look."</span></pre>
