Tue, 16 April 2013 2:00PM
Does anyone have a nice way of displaying their lipsticks/glosses in a neat, accessible way at home? I have seen a nice way to display brushes such as empty Diptyque Candle glasses, and using silver Mint Julep cups, but need inspiration for my treasured collection of lipsticks.

Stopping the Summer Makeup Slide
Thu, 17 January 2013 3:00PM
During summer, my foundation comes off my nose in particular, and goes patchy. This is not ideal. I liberally apply my Laura Mercier primer each morning but nothing seems to help the problem.

I have red hair. Is it really wrong to wear red lipstick? Not at all! This is one of those old beauty myths that have hung around way too long (like the one about shaving making hairs grow back thicker, or the other about how you can shrink your pores). Thing is, most makeup artists say… more

Lid Primer. A Do or a Don’t Bother?
Tue, 14 August 2012 1:11PM
Should I use a eye lid primer to stop my eye liner and shadow from smearing? Or will a regular face primer do the job? You’d think so at first, right? But generally, lid primers are more ‘sticky’, because they’re for women who have oily lids and need extra help keeping eye makeup in place. Face… more
