Actress Patty Duke, who won an Oscar (at only 16!) for her performance as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker and starred as two cousins on her own sitcom, has died, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. She was 69.
“This morning, our beloved wife, mother, matriarch and the exquisite
artist, humanitarian, and champion of mental health, Anna Patty Duke,
closed her eyes, quieted her pain and ascended to a beautiful place,”
read a family statement. “We celebrate the infinite love and compassion
she shared through her work and throughout her life.”
Duke became the youngest at that time to have a TV series bearing her name. The Patty Duke Show ran for three seasons on ABC, and she was nominated for an Emmy in 1964. The series was based on a Sidney Sheldon pilot about two
identical-looking cousins, one American (Patty Lane) and one English
(Cathy Lane). Duke played both parts: the perky one and the studious
one.
She ascended to icon status in 1967 with her appearance in Valley of the Dolls, in which she played Neely O’Hara, a pill-popping alcoholic.
The New York Times is reporting that she died at a hospital near her home in
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, from complications of a ruptured intestine that
she had suffered Thursday.
The darling Duke won an Oscar in 1963 — she practiced for the role wearing a blindfold for a year — and styled her hair in a sweet updo with lots of height, and wore minimal makeup.

Helping Others
During the ’80s, Duke campaigned for mental health awareness and was president of the Screen Actors Guild. Her classic look reflected this more serious time in her life.

Duke became the first celebrity to go public with her bipolar disorder
diagnosis, and worked to de-stigmatize mental illness.
A Canadian
makeup artist is making a huge splash on social media with stunning photographs of her lips transformed into picture-perfect works of art.
Andrea Reed, known to her 129,000 Instagram followers as Girl Grey Beauty, creates delicately hand painted lips that elevate beyond just pretty into tiny masterpieces.
Most of these looks take hours to create, but you can watch a quick timelapse on Reed’s You Tube channel.
Reed writes that she lined her lips with Anastasia’s liquid lipstick in Midnight. She didn’t share what she filled them in with, so we’re assuming… crushed ruby slippers?
Falling to Pieces
Reed calls this look ‘Defragmentation,’ and we just love how the pixels float off her lips.
Consider this look, which is part of Reed’s ‘WIP’ series (work in progress), a reminder of exactly how much effort we put into our beauty routine every day.
Mad for Plaid
It’s a plaid, plaid world of tiny perfect lines with this pout (and nails to match!).
Blackout tattoos, meaning covering large areas of the body with black ink, are on the rise among tattoo aficionados. Not for the pain-sensitive, these tattoos are a little more extensive than a dolphin on the ankle or a dragon on the arm.
Singapore tattoo artist Chester Lee seemingly kick-started the trend going viral with his Instagram photos of the technique, which he has been doing for about five years.
“I had been suggesting the blackout tattoos for massive cover-ups and
slowly letting people see the beauty in black work,” Lee, 29, told People. “It’s an acquired taste.”
An examination of the photos posted on Instagram — not all are Lee’s work — back this up. Many of the all-black designs covering arms and legs appear to be covering up older tattoos. Removing unwanted tattoos via laser can run up to $500 per session (and it’s extremely painful), so for some, this might seem like a more economical option.
Not that getting a full sleeve or other body part totally inked black is without pain. As anyone with a tattoo knows, getting that dark, filled-in look requires several passes with a gun and can take more than one visit with the artist.
Lee, who has his full arm, half of his neck, and a quarter of his face blacked out, along with black-inked eyes (yes, you can tattoo your eyes — but maybe don’t do that), hopes that blackout tattoos will gain popularity.
And it does seem to be taking off, with artists in the U.K. showcasing blackout work on their accounts as well.
Tattoos are definitely more culturally acceptable in the U.S. than in decades past, with 23 percent of women and 21 percent of men sporting ink. While the tattoo industry rakes in an annual revenue of $2.3 billion a year, we’re not sure blackout tattoos will see the mainstream acceptance that more low-key art currently has.
Lady Gaga was born this way — 30 years ago, in fact. The iconic star,
dubbed “the fresh Donatella” by Donatella Versace herself, has taken some of the biggest beauty risks in pop history. Her personal creative production team, the Haus of Gaga, is behind her ensembles, stage props, makeup, and hairstyles — but even before she became an international sensation with an army of Little Monsters, she was rocking glitter makeup, hair bows made of hair, and no pants.
She’s not just a fashion and beauty icon either — the six-time Grammy Award-winning singer was enrolled at NYU Tisch School of the Arts before dropping out to get a head start on her career. She has set 13 Guinness World Records (in 2010, “Bad Romance” was the most viewed video on YouTube), and has appeared on the most prestigious magazine covers in the world. Recently, she scaled down her most provocative looks (remember the meat dress?) and shifted to retro, old Hollywood hair and makeup, but whether she’s wearing face prosthetics or
no-makeup makeup, Gaga is always confident and proud of who she is and what she represents. Here are her most iconic beauty looks, from indie performer to international pop sensation. Let’s keep in touch! Follow Yahoo Beauty on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.
Lady Gaga arriving at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, 2016
Gaga is always glamorous, but for Oscars, the singer went for a look that was edgy without taking attention away from what
was important: She wore
an old Hollywood hairstyle, and warm, monochromatic makeup that played
up her expressive eyes. Get her look.

Leave it to Gaga to pair her show-stopping rendition of the national anthem with patriotic hair and makeup. Blue nails, a platinum-blond-nearing-white hairstyle, and amazing red-glitter eyeshadow make this one of her most iconic looks.

The theme for the 2015 Costume Institute Benefit Gala was “China: Through The Looking Glass.” The singer accessorized her Balenciaga kimono-style gown with a black beaded headpiece and some seriously intense brows.

Lady Gaga with white dreadlocks, 2013
We’re pretty sure this is
a wig — bleaching your hair white and then turning it into locs might be
too much effort, even for Gaga. As usual, her skin is flawless and her
statement lips are red.

Lady Gaga with lace on her face, 2009
Gaga has worn lace-based
ensembles on the red carpet several times. She didn’t just stop at the
clothes, though — she often crafted masks made of lace. The gleaming halo headpiece makes it clear: Gaga is to be worshipped.

Lady Gaga rocks a platinum bob, 2009
Gaga was always ahead of
the trends. In 2009, while all the pop stars were whipping their long
tresses, Gaga made headlines with a giant wavy platinumbob. The soft pink lipstick and flushed cheeks rounded out this classic Hollywood look.

The debut of the hair bow, 2008
Gaga’s iconic hair bow — made of real hair — was a trademark look. In the
early years of her fame, it was on the side of her head; in later incarnations,
it would sit right at the top.

Former model Melania Trump is being attacked in new ads for showing her body. (Photo: Getty Images)
An anti-Donald-Trump super-PAC is running ads in conservative Utah to try to
convince Mormons not to vote for Trump — by slut-shaming his wife, Melania.
Vox News is reporting that Make America Awesome, founded by
Republican strategist Liz Mair, is trying to increase turnout of members of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ahead of the Utah primary on
Tuesday.
The super-PAC is running three ads in the state, one
featuring Mitt Romney urging voters to support Ted Cruz, and another highlighting Trump’s history of going back and forth on his views about abortion.
The third, however, features
Melania Trump posing nude, and mocks the very idea that she could be the first lady
one day.
The controversial ad. (Photo: Make America Awesome)
And so, once again, we are confronted with the opinion that a woman who expresses herself with her body is not to be taken seriously, and is somehow less or not good enough. Melania was working as a model at the time of the photo shoot, which was for GQ magazine in 2000. And somehow, the fact that she has a body — and showed it — makes her not worthy of respect, according to the folks behind the ad.
For the record, Slovenian-born Melania started her modeling career at age 5, reportedly speaks five languages, designs a successful jewelry line, and is mom to son Barron.
But sadly, to conservative voters who believe stereotypes about the character of women who pose nude, this ad might have some impact.

If you don’t know Instagram superstar hairstylist Jen Atkin, you’re probably not keeping up with the Kardashians — or Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Katy Perry, or Chrissy Teigen. But if you are (and even if you’re not), we have the best news: Atkin just announced via Instagram that she’s launched a new line of DIY hair extensions.
Photo: Instagram/Jen Atkin
The clip-in extensions — which precede Atkin’s salon line, debuting in April, according to a tease in her post — come in 20 different colors. The coolest hues appear to be the five that come with already exposed roots, in case you’re rocking the intentionally grown-out-color look (and who isn’t these days?).
Made of real human hair, these “enhancers” are supposedly simple to clip, sew, or tape under the hairline — although, to hide them well, it’s important to have a layered hairstyle, according to the product website.

The extensions are part of a partnership with Beauty Works, a UK-based extensions manufacturer, and retail for about $217, plus shipping.
Atkin, who is perhaps the most influential hairstylist in the world right now, also has a hair care product line, called Ouai. “I wanted to give consumers the opportunity to solve a problem, which is time,” she said at the launch event in December. “We are all busy, and we are never going to look like Kate Moss.”
That’s a problem she aimed to solve by creating a tutorial website along with the Ouai line — and now, presumably, with her new line of add-in locks. “I want everyone to feel like a Kendall or a Gigi [Hadid],” she said. “I want everyone to have effortless hair.” A worthy goal indeed.

Taelor Beeck, a popular waitress at Zombie Burger in Des Moines, Iowa, was closing out her shift on Tuesday night when she spotted a note on one of her receipts. It read: “Tips are only for normal looking people.” On a bill worth $17.26, the tip line was crossed out and no extra money was left.
Not tipping is not OK at restaurants that allow gratuities — and not tipping based on hair color preference is never OK.
Beeck posted a photo of the receipt to her Facebook page
and wrote, “Shout out to this girl for stiffing me cuz I look like a
weirdo — hope she feels better about herself.”
Known for its eccentric
undead-themed decor, Zombie Burger and its parent company, Orchestrate
Hospitality, stood behind Beeck’s right to rock her totally on-trend pink hair, spokesman Chris Diebel told the Des Moines Register.
“Zombie Burger is a place that
celebrates individuality, and we think the vast majority of our customers
like the fact that everybody there is unique,” Diebel said. “It is a
real shame that someone would do this to a person in the service
industry. We stand behind our staff and the fact that they celebrate who
they are because that is at the core of Zombie Burger’s mission and a
large part of what makes that environment special.”
Beeck told her local news that she was going to keep her pink hair and individual style and says this to the customer who didn’t tip her: “I would definitely tell them not to judge someone based on what they look like. I may look like a weirdo, but I’m actually a very nice, decent person.”
The darkest shade — thus far — in the Lip Kit collection is presumably named after Kylie’s older sister Kourtney. She captioned the reveal “NEW COLOR ALERT @kyliecosmetics#comingsoon#kourtk.” With all of the Kit names ending in K, we’re not surprised to learn this berry shade was named after big sis Kourtney. Mary Jo K. is named after Kylie’s grandma, and Koko K. is named for Khloé,
The Kylie Cosmetics Insta captioned this snap, “Welcome to the family Kourt K.” (Photo: Instagram/kyliecosmetics)
We can’t wait to see Kourtney is this gorgeous berry shade. She’s often seen in darker colors, so it’s not surprising her Lip Kit color would be a darker shade.

This Moulin Rouge lid pays literal homage to the still-standing home of the “fantastical fantasical” and evokes the feeling of coughing Satine lacing herself into her costumes.
Since she always looks flawless in the seemingly styled photos she shares on Instagram, we (of course) asked about her workout beauty routine. She told us, “I have really light eyelashes and … I have natural dirty blond hair. That’s my one — I’ve got to have mascara on — that’s my one thing. Not waterproof or anything like that.”
But is wearing makeup while working up a sweat good for your skin? We checked in with dermatologist Elizabeth Hale, MD, of Complete Skin MD, who says, “I’m so glad you’re asking. It seems like a trend that’s happening, and I’m not a believer.”
When you exercise, it creates a warm, sweaty situation on your skin — especially the face — including an increase in cutaneous blood flow. This leads to increased absorption of anything on your skin.
Wisely, Hale suggests making the best of what your body is doing during a workout. “If you’re going to put anything on, put on an antioxidant serum before you exercise,” she says. If there’s anything you’d want to sink into your skin, it’s a serum, not the BB cream you applied last night. (We see you wearing last night’s smeared look to the gym.)
But if you’re not comfortable going out without a little bit of color, celebrity makeup artist Allison Perlstein tells Yahoo Beauty that while she recommends letting your skin breathe, “you can wear some light, tinted moisturizer and tinted mascara if you’re super-uncomfortable.”
As if you didn’t need another reason to go fresh-faced when working out, “if you’re wearing makeup to the gym, you’re increasing your chances of getting acne,” Hale says.
“The trigger of all acne is follicular plugging,” she explains. “You’re preventing your skin from breathing, and that makes people more prone to breakouts.”
Khloé shared the same sentiments. “I used to have acne when I was younger,” she told Yahoo Beauty. “I also feel like I’m gonna breakout if I were to wear makeup while I work out.”
Keep it simple. If you must wear makeup to the gym, Hale says she would “be OK with a waterproof mascara and lipstick. But that’s it!”
