Paris A/W ’13: Trending … Silver Eyeshadow
Mon, 4 March 2013 3:24PM
You only had to take a glimpse at Naomi Watts at last week’s Oscars to see that a splash of silver eyeshadow lends itself to an instantly polished makeup look. It has this ability to make everything look just that much more luxurious, and also a little bit special- unless it’s of the full-frosted variety,… more

Paris A/W ’13: Obsessing Over Burgundy Lipstick and a Bit of Backlight at Anthony Vaccarello
Wed, 27 February 2013 10:53AM
Bonjour, mes amies! Chic alors! Ooh la la! C’est la vie! And all that. Paris Fashion Week has officially begun. And how. The first main show was Anthony Vaccarello. And sure, the designer doesn’t sound like a quintessential Frenchie. Like someone of the name, say, Jean-Paul Baguette might. But Monsieur Vaccarello certainly does know how to capture a… more

New York S/S ’13: The Upper Wedge – Eyeliner Looks at Michael Kors, Altuzarra and Holmes & Yang
Thu, 13 September 2012 11:22AM
Eyeliner is the Little Black Dress of makeup. An essential for every beauty wardrobe. But there are many types of LBDs. Some are more flattering than others. Some are a bit fashion-forward. And some are simply a little scary. For example, I love a long flowing 1970s variety; my better half, however, would probably prefer me… more

New York S/S ’13: Playful Pastels at Peter Som and Rebecca Minkoff
Sun, 9 September 2012 11:29AM
Models can wear anything and look amazing. Say, a paper bag. Or yellow eyeshadow. And makeup artists love to throw colours on models that they could never make work on we mere mortals. So don’t think for a nanosecond that I’m suggesting we get as artistic with our eye colours as the makeup artists were… more

Road-Test: Estée Lauder’s Sumptuous Two Tone Eye-Opening Mascara
Wed, 20 June 2012 8:21AM
When you wake up and you haven’t had enough sleep, your foundation isn’t blending properly and there’s a whopping blemish present, a shiny tube of mascara is like an instant pick-me-up. In fact, I think we’d all agree that if there were only one product we could take to a desert island (ahem, apart from… more

Paris A/W ’12: The super-duper-easy Balmain blow-dry
Mon, 5 March 2012 2:16PM
Oh, Sam McKnight, you are good. Whether it’s understated, I’m-not-trying texture or a super-polished blow-dry, you always manage to achieve the type of hairstyle we really want to copy (rather than those over-the-top ‘dos that look great on the runway but are way less achievabl- slash-flattering in real life). Case-in-point Number One: Balmain Now, the Balmain girl is… more

Paris A/W ’12: It’s bonjour to French glamour at Anthony Vaccarello
Fri, 2 March 2012 1:03PM
Makeup artists often use a whole world of product to create a catwalk look, meaning it can be near-impossible for us to recreate it at home. So how great is it when a brand’s makeup director takes control of the situation, with a nicely edited list of buys, and helpfully gives us the how-to low-down,… more

Milan A/W ’12: We’re Haunted by Marni’s Makeup
Wed, 29 February 2012 4:30PM
I think we can all agree that the heavy fringe is back. And, boy, has it been busy. It starred at the Oscars (on the likes of Rose Byrne and Rooney Mara) and stole the spotlight at Milan fashion week, where clip-in faux bangs were spotted (rather creepily) poking out of the stylists’ kits at… more

Milan A/W ’12: Moschino goes all retro on us
Mon, 27 February 2012 5:24PM
Though thousands of beauty products are launched every year (which I, for one, am thrilled about, as it keeps me in a job), few stand the test of time. These top-notch buys might not be the fanciest, priciest or most glamorous on the shelves, but their efficacy, ease or downright prettiness make them must-haves for… more
