"All the attention Taylor Armstrong of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* has gotten lately has lead to an unexpected challenge: She can't pose for pictures while eating or drinking. At the *Access Hollywood *gift lounge for the Golden Globes this weekend, *Allure*'s special correspondent Jeffrey Slonim ran into Armstrong right after a photographer had asked her to take a sip of Diet Pepsi\u2014a request the admitted fan of injectables and plastic surgery politely declined. \\\"I just can't,\\\" she said. \\\"On the show, whenever I eat anything people write in that my lips make them ill.\\\" I don't have to worry about disgruntled fans, but I do have a few rules that I try to stick to when I know there will be cameras around.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  Ban black.__ I wear black almost every day, but for pictures, I try to wear a color. It makes my skin look better, and I don't look quite as severe. Photographer Matthew Rolston recommends red whenever possible. \\\"It's the secret of the Valentino dress\u2014red pops right out of the frame.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  Skip the highlighter. __ I love to wear highlighter on my lids and cheeks for a special occasion, but in pictures, it just reflects the flash. \\\"Leave the shiny stuff to the 16-year-old Gucci models,\\\" photographer Patrick McMullan says. \\\"If you're going to be photographed, wear a matte foundation, which distributes the light better.\\\" (I stick with pressed powder and mascara. Lots of mascara.)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  Don't square off.__ There's a reason stars always pose so you get a side view: You look thinner than if you face the camera straight-on. \\\"Never face the camera squarely,\\\" says Matthew Rolston. \\\"Angle your body slgihtly and put one or both hands on your hips. Your shoulders and elbows will create a tirangle that makes your hips look smaller and shows off your waistline.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n__RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: How Honest Should Women Be About Plastic Surgery?](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2010/11/how-honest-should-women-be-about-plastic-surgery.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: How to Look Hot in Pictures](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2010/10/how-to-look-hot-in-pictures.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Holiday Party Pic Tip: Look Down, Look Prettier!](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2010/12/holiday-party-pic-tip-look-down-look-prettier.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Is It OK to Tweet Bad Pictures of Other People?](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/01/is-it-ok-to-tweet-bad-pictures-of-other-people.html)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
