From celebrity makeovers to star-studded beauty collaborations, Celebuzz is here to give you the 411 on the latest beauty buzz around Tinseltown.
Natalie Portman, 31, has been the face of Christian Dior cosmetics for months, but she’s encountered a minor mishap with her most recent ad for Dior’s Diorshow New Look lash-multiplying mascara.
L’Oreal UK reported the ad for “misleading exaggerating the effects of the product” which resulted in a ban on the campaign until realistic changes are made. In Portman’s defense, the Dior ad was originally intended to promote rouge. [nymag.com]
