Why Are Invisible Beauty Items Credited in Magazines?
Magazines can be indispensable in identifying trends, and while looking through any given issue, I usually spot some hair and makeup ideas. (On that note, Freja Beha in this month's W is so dreamy. Why can't I look that chic when tomboyed out?) It's easy to understand why editors leave credits for certain things: hair products, lipstick, nail polish.
Will Obvious Lip Liner Return? In W, It Already Has
The May issue of W has a '60s-inspired photo shoot that's inspired by one of my least favorite beauty icons, Brigitte Bardot. (Yes, she was physically attractive, but five indictments for "inciting racial hatred" spoil it for me.) Model Lara Stone shares her trademark gap-toothed pout as always, but this time it's haloed with that '90s throwback look: dark lip liner surrounding pale lipstick.
Fashion editorials usually push the boundaries, so don't expect this style to roar back for everyday wear anytime soon.

Do You Wish September Mags Had Non-Blond Cover Models?
Since the September cover of Marie Claire popped up, it's become increasingly obvious that the glossy mags weren't kidding when they released their cover choices for the first Fall month — generally the biggest and most important issue of the year. As Fashionologie points out, Vogue, Allure, Elle, W, Glamour, and Marie Claire will all have light-haired cover stars. InStyle, which will feature Jennifer Lopez, seems to be the only exception.
