Cosmetics trending on runways

Fashion isn't just about clothes. It's makeup and hair, too. An outfit isn't complete without the perfect final touches.

Because your face is the first thing people notice about you — well, hopefully, anyway — makeup is crucial. The cardinal rule for makeup that every gal should follow is one simple step: Keep it clean. Ditch the messy eyeliner and orange tones that haunt the faces of girls everywhere. You may think you blended that bronzer deceivingly, but you're not fooling anyone. Say goodbye to spray tans and tanning booths and for a more natural look, Orange may have been a hot color earlier this year, but that was actually just meant for clothing.
A clean and natural base allows for some fun to be had in the eye and lip department. Harper's BAZAAR experts noted that 2013 runway cosmetic trends included green and blue eyeshadows, glowing skin, and cat eyeliner. More good news: Lipstick is here to stay. If you haven't tried this daring look yet, I urge you to make it your New Year's resolution. Use a matching liner to keep the color in place, especially on drunken nights. As for glowing skin, the contouring method is the hot new trend being used by tons of celebrities right now. Instructions and how-to's are all over the web.
For 2013 hair, simplicity is again your best friend. Sleek low ponytails and buns, long knots, as well as subtle waves are all fashion-approved options for lovely locks. Styles to avoid are the dreaded proof, half-up styles, and braided side bangs. Pulling side-parted hair back into twists or braids is so high school, and really youthful looking. Youthful in a playground kind of way, that is.
Another way to spice up your hair is by switching up the way you part it. While many stray from parting their hair down the middle, the fashion forward option tops MSN's list of "Hairstyles that Never Go Out of Style."
Other fun hairstyle options include ombre and peek-a-boo coloring. Be careful with ombre dye jobs if you have dark hair. Often when attempting to lighten the ends, it turns out looking mustardy yellow. A more subtle transition will prevent this bad hair nightmare. As for adding pops of bright colors on your ends, drugstores offer temporary coloring gels that come out with shampoo. Chalk is another option for lighter hair colors; just color or apply gel to ponytails, buns or ends for a fun yet chic look.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
'Hitchcock'a witty ode
"Hitchcock" isn't just a toast to the master of suspense: It's an ode to filmmaking in general and to the struggles of the creative process. And with the larger-than-life character of the hilariously deadpan, ultra-witty Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins) leading this true story, it's also a gleefully entertaining look into his life — especially for film geeks.
Following the enormous success of Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" in 1959, you'd assume he wouldn't have any trouble getting backing for his next project. But after choosing to adapt the book "Psycho", a story about a crazy, murderous motel owner, Paramount Pictures refused to fund such a film. Only when Hitchcock mortgaged his own house and financed the $800,000 production himself did they agree to distribute it.
At the age of 60, Hitchcock felt
By Alex Lamb alamb@kansan.com
like he needed something fresh and unique to keep the edge in his movies. He wanted a return to the danger and excitement of his early work, when he wasn't guaranteed success. And as "Hitchcock" shows the making of "Psycho," it was clearly a difficult journey – which ultimately resulted in the biggest hit of his career.
But this film isn't just about a behind-the-scenes glimpse of creating the legendary horror flick; equally important is the behind-the-scenes study of his marriage to Alma Reville (Helen Mirren). Reville was the unsung hero of Hitchcock's genius, a lifelong collaborator and partner whose support was invaluable yet never officially recognized.
While Hopkins mostly forgoes
impersonating Hitchcock's signature low voice, he giddily manages to fully embody the devilish spirit of the auteur. The slow manner of speech, hanging a pointed weight in his words. The droll sense of humor, cracking morbid or blunt jokes with the utmost seriousness. And the consuming obsession, both over his beautiful blonde leading ladies and the intense craftsmanship he put into his directing.
Hopkins has a ball with this role, delivering the kind of performance you wish lasted for hours because it's so much fun. And Mirren is his perfect match, able to cleverly counter him with her own sharp retorts and take control of the situation when Hitchcock is too weak.
However, for anyone who loves Hitchcock and especially "Psycho", it's difficult not to wish there were a few more scenes on the set,

focused on his directing style. The actors bare a stunning likeness to the real people (James D'Arcy in particular looks like the spitting image of Anthony Perkins) and watching Hitchcock himself stab the knife at Janet Leigh (a seductive Scarlett Johansson) in the shower scene is wonderfully exciting.
Even so, newbie director Sacha
Gervasi captures what would make Hitchcock himself proud: the magic of the movies.

DERRYBERRY WEEKEND WARRIOR
Welp, looks like I'm graduating...

December graduation has finally come for many seniors and super seniors, but not before Stop Day and finals week. Many places around town are offering special deals for Stop Day festivities.
I've been under the impression that college graduation is like something out of a National Lampoon movie. The idea is that after four years of hard work and partying, my closest friends and I would throw a huge party with scantily clad co-eds, endless amounts of alcohol and absolutely no worries in the world. In reality though, I'm graduating in the middle of winter, my apartment is full of old people who call the cops if I play movies too loudly, and I'm elbow deep in a sea of unfinished projects and final exams. Thankfully, by the graces of the ghosts of graduation past, present and future, someone came up with the idea of Stop Day. While Stop Day itself may be left to the libraries and coffee shops around town, the night before is a chance to get a little wild before buckling down to study.

Stop Day Eve has historically been a night of various theme parties. "Ugly Sweaters" are popular, but I've thrown on plaid for "Golf Pros and Tennis Schmoes" and curled into a Twister mat for "Anything But Clothes" in previous years, so options are out there. Unfortunately, unlike the National Lampoon movies I keep referencing, people don't drive around posting flyers about their parties, so unless you know someone, getting concrete details on
these events isn't easy. So if roaming Tennessee Street in hopes of crashing a party doesn't go well, there are still plenty of bars with Thursday night drink specials.
wear a suit or awkwardly dance, and you shouldn't either. KJHK has also brought in DJ vs Drums, Dean Monkey and the Dropouts and 70s funk band Heart of Darkness for your listening pleasure. It's also 18 and older, which means even the youngin's can join in the smooth jams and goofy getups.
After a long night of partying, followed by a long day of studying, you may want nothing more than to curl up in your pajamas Friday night, which is totally understandable. But the guys at Barnyard Brewery, 925 Iowa St., are opening their big red doors, for a Stop Day
It's been a long semester and, in my case, a long college career, so before you get too bogged down studying or frantically finishing
Pajama Party. You may not know about the small bar hidden behind The Merc, but the event is 18 and up, and showing your student ID gets you $2 off cover. There are awards for best theme and most daring PJs, so whether it's silk robes or footies, let loose tomorrow night in comfort.
If PJs aren't your deal, though,
KJHK is hosting a retro prom party
At The Bottleneck Friday night. I'm never one to pass up a chance to
an essay, have a fun night out. Although crappy college movies may have misled me a bit to the glory of graduation parties. I'm a week away from getting that expensive piece of paper, and that's worth a drink or two. So as I wrap up my time as a Jayhawk and enter into finals week, I'm still waiting for my National Lampoon moment. The question is, will you be there with me?
