American Idol Beauty

Here's my take on the beauty and style of the female American Idol contestants this week.
Stephanie: She finally got her hair right. It looked sleek and sexy swept to the side this week - a vast improvement over last week's overly punky 'do. Other pluses: the makeup, with the great smoky eyes and sheer berry-colored lips. I also loved the earrings and the shoes. I wanted to like the dress, but something about it fell short. The print was great, but the overall look was a little matronly. She should have worn something that showed off her great figure a little bit more.
Lakisha: Love the sleek hair and the sparkly hoops, and I liked her makeup. She went a bit rosier on the cheeks and the lips this time, with a sheer pink gloss and a bright pink cheek color, which I loved. Also loved the smoky eye, which was done using what appeared to be shades of purple rather than the usual blacks and grays. Very flattering. Not sure about the long slinky white gown. I can't make up my mind about it, which is rare, because as you can tell, I'm pretty opinionated. It was a risky choice, that's for sure.
Haley: Love the cute babydoll dress on her, and her hair looked beautiful. Her makeup was gorgeous. I loved the use of color, from the metallic greenish-gray eyeshadow to the coral lipstick and blush. Beautiful and flattering. It made her already gorgeous skin glow even more. Only negative point: her eyebrows looked too severe and painted on, which is aging. But she was much more interesting this week, both performance-wise (though I'm no music critic) and style-wise.
Jordin: Her hair looked great, in a not-trying-too-hard kind of way. I also loved the sheer rosy gloss and pink cheeks, which were beautiful and age-appropriate. The sparkly eye shadow/eye gloss brought out the sparkle in her eyes. Not crazy about the dress, though. It seemd a little ordinary. I also didn't like the pair of necklaces. They looked like something you'd pick up at the mall.
Melinda: Great sophisticated gray dress and high high heels. Her hair also looked good, though I think she could use a more updated style. It's a little mature for her, even though she seems like an old soul. I loved the shimmery gold-flecked eyeshadow, glowing wine colored blush and sheer berry lips.
Gina: Same hair, which is essentially an update of the Joan Jett 'do. Her makeup seemed softer this week, with pretty pinks on her cheeks and lips and a softer smoky eye. Nice, but not memorable.
