Our latest "Fashion Face-Off" edition is all about the bold and the bella...

Red carpet chameleons Christina Milian and Kat DeLuna have shaken the dye bottles and ditched their laid-back wardrobes for nuevo much-talked-about looks. Thanks to the 80s and 90s estilo comeback, the latest trends are all about looking as loca as possible while keeping it chic (a.k.a. 'The Crazier You Look, The Better.')

Ms. Milian caught-on to the belleza tip from hell by stripping her pelo to a wannabe Lady Gaga platinum blond, while the pint-sized 'Definition of a Rebel" was recently modeling the peacock-do paired with a superhero vest straight out of the "Watchmen." We know beauty is skin deep, but wild looks can't go unnoticed. "In The End" do these ladies get to sing "Us Against The World?" YOU DECIDE.

We have a special holiday gift for the ladies...

We know you are wondering how to get glam for the holidays, and we have you covered! You don't have to be as bella as Beyonce to look your best during las fiestas. The key to looking flawless is knowing how to enhance your natural beauty with a couple of simple tips. We gathered up grade-A advice from InStylist for Terra.com, Kathy Kopp. Estrellas like Shakira, Daddy Yankee, and Alicia Keys have sought after la Colombiana's expert advice and now you get to test out her skills before attending the holiday block party.

To get the perfect evening look, Kathy recommends to know your skin before applying a drop of make-up:

It's important to know what kind of skin you have. If you have oily skin, then you should avoid shimmery products because it will make your skin look super shiny. Most Latinas actually have combination skin, which is a mixture of oily and dry. In that case, it is best just to apply facial lotion on dry areas.

Once you have your face in check, then you can start creating a nice make-up base:

Besides a good powder, I think a necessary beauty piece to have in your purse is mascara. You can apply it in the morning with a little bit of gloss and you are good to go, but for an evening look, you can mix it up by adding a black eyeliner. For eyeshadows you also want to go opposite the color pallette. For example, if you  have brown eyes, using purple and pink colors will bring out your eyes more.

Kathy also warns to stay away from every chica's common mistake:

The idea is not to go for the colors that are in style, but to pick colors that will compliment your face.
