Halloween How-To: Jem
If you want to look truly outrageous this Halloween, we've got some great tips from MAC makeup artists Louise Zizzo and Sarah Dean, who transformed us into a glam-rock version of the '80s cartoon. Check out this video for tips on how to achieve this look, along with specific color suggestions from Zizzo and Dean when you read moreBellissima! Face & Body Mixing Medium
During my brief, but chock full 'o informational interview with MAC Pro makeup artist James Molloy, last weekend at the IMATS he told me about an awesome professional product from MAC Pro called Face & Body Mixing Medium. This is the same formula as MAC's most popular milky and semi-opaque liquid foundation, however, this version doesn't contain any pigment.
It provides the skin with sheer and even coverage and is a great way to help you mimic the look of natural skin because of its satin sheen sans-shimmer finish.
Meet James Molloy: Makeup Artist From MAC Pro
Yesterday I told you all about my experience at the 2008 IMATS. I briefly mentioned that MAC Cosmetics has its own professional line of makeup called MAC Pro, an extension of MAC that contains high pigment products that aren't necessarily available to the masses — there are 14 MAC Pro boutiques worldwide compared to the hundreds of standard MAC doors. The products have the same price points and the same sizes; however, the colors are different and are typically more vibrant.

Models Get Inked at Rodarte
When I first saw the photos from Rodarte's runway show, I couldn't help but be immediately drawn to the swirly, geometric arm tattoos worn by the models on the runway. It was a little bit Xena: Warrior Princess and Kat Von D combined. Fab was on the fence about the clothing, inspired by California condors, but as for that well-thought-out tribalesque arm makeup, I was definitely impressed.
Get the Look: Pleasing Purples at Vena Cava
Yesterday's Vena Cava show featured neutral-toned clothing, with pops of bold orange thrown in for good measure. But, it was the purple lips that had me mesmerized, and so far, it's been one of my favorite looks at 2010 Spring Fashion Week. The tone remains edgy, but completely wearable, particularly when paired with MAC Coquette Eye Shadow ($14.50), a muted grayish-taupe shade that makeup artist LLoyd Simmonds used to create this look.
Trend Alert: Orange Cheeks For Spring
When you imagine orange on the face you might cringe a little, thinking of unflattering Oompa-Loompa-like effects. But you might be surprised that orange blush can give a flattering sun-kissed look that's fresh, not gaudy. Seeing that many designers featured the shade during 2009 Spring New York Fashion Week, I predicted that orange blush would be a trend during the upcoming warmer months.
Kelly Osbourne's Lips Are Bright and Brilliant
Hard to believe that Kelly Osbourne used to come off like a foul-mouthed brat, isn't it? At last night's party for Flaunt magazine, the 24-year-old looked more like a punk debutante than an angsty teenager. While her hair may no longer be shocking pink, she still wears the hue with confidence on her lips.
Backstage Beauty: LAMB
Well, reactions to Gwen's LAMB fashion show have been mixed. Fab and most of you loved it, but Cathy Horyn at the New York Times called it "ditzville." (Maybe it's a generation gap?) Anyway, I can say that the makeup looked great.
Proenza Schouler Gets Their Wartime On
Backstage at Proenza Schouler, war was on everyone's mind. No, not in a political way — this is Fashion Week, after all — but in an aesthetic way. "The inspiration was how women looked so glamorous during wartime, when they were working in the factories but still had their red lipstick on," said makeup artist Diane Kendal.
