Narciso Rodriguez Gives Us a Dirty Take on a Smoky Eye
Is there ever a case when a smudgy under eye actually looks OK? If the technique is left in the hands of famed makeup artist and Shiseido’s artistic director, Dick Page, then the answer is yes. At Narcisco Rodriguez's show, the models wore smudged eye makeup with minimal foundation.
Shiseido Crafts Up Mosaics For Fall
It's that time of the year again, as kids — and adults alike — head back to school. That means it's also time for the launches of Fall 2009 makeup collections. Using the artistic medium of mosaics for inspiration, Shiseido's artistic director, Dick Page, created the Mosaic collection for the upcoming change of season.
Alexander Wang Takes a (Cat)walk of Shame
Backstage at Alexander Wang, the designer told me his inspiration for the hair and makeup was "sweat." Well, he couldn't have picked a more humid and rainy day to show.
Just as hot-and-bothered was the beauty look.
Space: The Final Fragrance Frontier
How does outer space smell? Apparently, it smells good: I've been noticing fragrances that claim to be scented like the cosmos, and I don't mean Sun Moon Stars from Lagerfeld. Givenchy’s new men's release, Givenchy Pi Neo ($47.50 for 1.7 oz), includes “patented, futuristic” notes.
How-To: Mila Kunis's Rockin' VH1 Makeup
Saturday night at the 2008 VH1 Rock Honors, Mila Kunis donned a soft, wavy two-toned updo, dark and sexy seductive smoky eyes and icy cool lips. I love this modern dressy makeup look and Miss Mila has just the right amount of mojo to pull it off.
This intricate look is easy to achieve.
SPF Beauty Bonanza, Part III: Sun Care Hair Products
Not only can the harmful rays of the sun affect your skin, they can also be damaging to your hair — especially if it is chemically and/or color treated. Below are three great SPF-enhanced products that will help protect your hair from drying out, breaking and oxidizing while you're frolicking away on a sunny day.
Capri Sun-Shield Spray ($20) is yet another new beauty product inspired by the jet-setting Italian island.
Trend Alert: Multi-Color Powder Bronzers
Summertime always breeds safe, fun, sunless bronzing products and I've noticed that a few of the new bronzing-powder compacts contain more than one shade in them. The idea is to create a healthy-looking glow, and I suppose the gradation of colors is a way to achieve that look. Instead of having a flat tan all over your face, the variation of shades creates a more natural effect.
Product Review: Shiseido The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation
Last weekend I went on a foundation quest at Sephora. After about 45 minutes, and arms streaked up to my elbows in a beigey rainbow of colors, I swiped a dollop of the Shiseido The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation ($36) on my wrist. Hmmm.
Product Review: Shiseido Color Stick
I have been searching for more cream blushes to add to my collection after I had so much luck with my last one. So I was very excited when I came across the Shiseido Makeup Color Stick ($32) at Sephora last weekend.
My eye was initially drawn to the bright fuschia streamlined container, and as usual, I selected the brightest shade of pink to try on first.
Backstage Beauty: Proenza Schouler
I just got back from Proenza Schouler, where long hair and cobalt blue eyes reigned. "It's never just about one feature, even if it's the most prominent thing, because everything has to work in tandem," said lead makeup artist Dick Page, who was remarkably calm despite the flurry of activity surrounding him. "The look is strong, but it's very easy as well."
