It's a new year and the stars seem to be taking it to heart by debuting new looks right and left. Two reality starlets showed off dramatic color changes on the very same night at two different events.

"Kate's look reflects beautiful nuances of tone on tone brown reflection," says Santana. Check out his color formula here.
