Ariana Debose is sharing with us a gorgeous short hairstyle that is to die for! It might take you some time to get used to this look, but if you are bold enough to try it, you are going to love it! On oval, square, and heart-shaped faces, almost all pixie hairstyles look stunning. This particular style complements round face forms by providing angles that visibly lessen the roundness of the face. If you have a long face, this cut will elongate it even more. With a low-maintenance style, a blunt cut can help you get rid of damaged ends and improve your overall hair condition.

For this hairstyle simplicity is key. Try doing a monochromatic look with a similar color palette throughout. A light or dusty pink eye shadow with a simple lash paired with a rosy cheek and a pink lippie. Add a rose gold or champagne-colored highlighter and you are set to take the town by storm.

This alternative hairstyle that Halsey is sharing with us is a style that we did not know we needed until now! The style screams edgy and it is thanks to this gorgeous haircut that she has. The sides have been cut a bit shorter than the top which not only frames her face but it also gives this style some dimension and layers. Add volume to your hair on top for a short style to lengthen your face. A style like this is perfect for someone who wants their face to appear longer. Additionally, the volume helps to give the illusion that you have more hair than you actually do. Thinned hair can benefit from this technique. Almost all pixie hairstyles look great on faces with oval, square, and heart shaped features. When used on round face shapes, this particular style provides angles, which visually softens the roundness of the face. You should avoid pixie cuts if you have an oblong face shape, as these cuts can give the appearance of an even more oblong face.

Halsey has done her makeup perfectly as well. She has a smokey eye with some added glitter which makes her eyes sparkle even more. The false lashes add some drama which this style is not lacking and yet still looks fabulous! You can finish off this look with your favorite lipstick color and you are ready to show the world your edgy side!

We take a look at Miley Cyrus's new cropped hairdo. Since unveiling numerous pictures of her buzzed quiff on Twitter, Miley Cyrus has been under constant media scrutiny. If Cyrus was looking for attention with this new haircut, she certainly got it! Now the real question is - is all of the attention given to Miley's new haircut worth it?

It's not like this haircut hasn't been done before. Pink rocked this exact 'do years ago, as did numerous fashion models, musicians and other celebrities. Shaved sides have been trendy for the past few years, to the point that it's becoming common to see young women with buzzed undercuts when they casually flip their hair over. It's no biggie.

This light blonde 'do is clipper cut short and close to the head around the sides and back, while the top length is left long enough to be teased to achieve maximum height and lift. This makes it the perfect style to balance out a round face shape. Product is needed for hold and shine. As for the hair color - it's platinum blonde, not neon green. Miley has a gorgeous face and can pull off an edgy cut and color, so what's all the fuss about?

Some people think that she has committed the ultimate faux pas and ruined her all American girl image. Although really, that was ruined a long time ago when all of the bong-smoking photos came out. Others have publicly commented that she is trying to look more "punk" or street. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. One thing that's for sure is that the time to try these haircuts is when you're young and beautiful. But is it really worth so much media attention? What do you think of Miley's new 'do and the attention it has picked up?

Rihanna is known for her bold hair colors, super-edgy clothes (or lack of) and equally eye-catching makeup to match. Here, we see a more relaxed Rihanna in refreshingly simple hair and makeup. Let's see how she made herself under for this effortlessly cool look.

The Hair: Sleek, glossy and raven black, Rihanna's hair looks fabulous in its natural state. The long waves suit her oval face nicely and tumble just past her shoulders. But, this is Rihanna of course, so the under layers have been shaved. When she wants to turn into her bad girl alter ego, all she needs to do is flip her hair over and she is ready to raise some hell! One side of this casual 'do has been clipper cut to achieve an undercut style. This leaves the opposite side to fall out over the shoulders, showing off the medium to long layers that have been jagged cut through to balance out the movement and body. This look will need product for hold and shine, as well as regular trims to prevent split ends.

The Makeup: Rihanna has huge cat eyes and perfectly arched eyebrows that don't need any enhancement to look good. Here, just a lick of mascara has done the trick. Paired with dewy skin and a matte red lip, this look is oh-so-glam.

The Clothes: Simple hoop earrings and a halter neck white dress are the cherry on top of this gorgeous look. Nice work Rihanna!

Meagan Good was spotted on the red carpet looking stunning as ever. Wearing a pewter-hued satin gown and sparkling diamond earrings, Meagan looked every inch the glamorous movie star, topped off by her side-swept hairdo.

If you're looking for a hairstyle to wow crowds and onlookers, then this might be one for you. The back and one side is cut short and close to the head, leaving the top and opposite side longer with layers for texture and shape for a an asymmetric finish. This fantastic 'do is great to frame a long face and will need regular trims to maintain shape.

You can copy Meagan's look if you have a short haircut that has longer layers on top, with the sides and back tapered close to the head. Start by creating some bouncy curls in your hair by using hair rollers or a curling iron. Meagan has given her curls a Seventies- inspired flip by curling them outwards from the head rather than inwards, which you can copy easily. After your curls are perfected, create a deep side hair part that will sweep dramatically over your face, and spray into place.

If you have medium or long hair, simply pin your hair back in a French roll or bun, and leave some face framing layers out as Meagan has done. From the front, it will look exactly the same! Meagan has completed her red carpet look with flawless, soft makeup that keeps the focus on her beautiful face and hair.

This hairstyle looks great on all face shapes, so try this at your next formal event! See more Meagan Good looks and try the hairstyles on with your own photo using our Virtual Hairstyler.

Rihanna once again stunned onlookers with a new hairstyle. Her trade mark short textured crop was worn up in waves through the top, and the sides were slicked-back showing once again the versatility of short hair. With the help of the right products, this style will hold well in any weather condition. Her hair at the top creates height which helps to elongate her face shape, and the gentle curl around her eye area frames her forehead area. This style will take some time for you to style, but it is going to be worth it! Keep in mind, that if your hair is very thick, the curls will not hold well in this hairstyle. Triangle, oval, round, or heart-shaped face shapes will suit this look the best. Due to the curls around her eye area, glasses will not work well with this hairstyle.

With your makeup application, you can use a bold color on your lids like Rihanna. The blue complements her green eyes well, which is why she often has blue eyeshadow on. Pair your eye makeup with false lashes to make your eyes pop ore and finish off with a nude or pastel lipstick color. Do not forget to highlight and contour your face and neck area to create the perfect oval face shape and you are ready to rock your event!
