Odds & Ends

If you're lucky enough to be in the New York City, you can get gorgeous in Catherine Hickland's (Catherine, OLTL) exclusive makeup classes on Madison Avenue. But for those farther away than a bus ride from the Big Apple, Hickland has captured her skills for the small screen. "I made a makeover video this summer called Simply Gorgeous," she reveals to TV Guide Online. "It's a how-to video of my techniques, and we're launching it in September." Hickland's company, Cat Cosmetics (Catcosmetics.com), has become a hot commodity in Hollywood; her glowing line was used in the summer's swashbuckling hit, Pirates of the Caribbean. "I knew [the company] would go places, but I didn't know how fast," Hickland admits. "We're really growing face in the entertainment industry, and it's a blessing and a curse. A company growing too fast is as dangerous as not growing enough." Luckily, Hickland is on top of the expansion, and is giving Cat Cosmetics a bit of a makeover. "We've hired more staff, and we're moving into big corporate offices," she beams. The artistic and entrepreneurial actress is developing several top-secret projects that will take her beyond eye shadows and lip liners. "I'm working on something right now that is an extension of fashion, and hopefully we'll launch it within the next three months. It's a particular fashion accessory that I am just mad about, and I think women are going to go nuts over it."
