According to a new survey conducted by Allure, there’s an “ideal age” for women. And even though we’re not totally buying into the whole one-age-being-better-than-another thing… we’re still pretty glad the number is over 21.
Four-year-old Chanel model Hudson Kroenig will be in it too.
Do you have an unnatural aversion to classic lipstick? You’re not the only one, and the beauty industry is sympathetic to your plight: Sheer lipsticks–tubes that can be applied without looking in a mirror–are all the rage right now.

Kate Middleton and Prince William hit the St. Patrick’s Day parade at the Aldershot Barracks yesterday to honor soldiers for the Irish holiday, and the event ended up being a bit more exciting than the usual royal public outing. (And no, not because Prince Harry had too many green Jello shots.)
A play by play of the Duchess’s harrowing heel-in-grate drama, this way…
Rather than drinking yourself silly this weekend, honor the day with a little Irish pampering instead–you’ll feel much better about yourself come March 18.
Despite the fact that I get to play with trendy beauty products for a living, the truth is that I am actually not that adventurous when it comes to, well, color. A pink lip? Once in a while. A blue eye? Yeah, don’t count on it.

Earlier this week the Skin Cancer Foundation issued a statement about the safety of UV gel manicures. Essentially they said the procedure–which involves sticking your hands under a UV light to set the polish–has a low, yet “not insignificant” risk for skin cancer, and recommended applying sunscreen before you get one of these manis. Up until this point, there had been inconclusive safety evidence for the procedure, but now that an official medical organization has weighed in, how (if at all) is the nail industry going to change its practices?
Expect the John Galliano vs. Dior labor dispute case to drag on for quite a while.

Following a lawsuit filed in January, a judge just ruled that the brand can’t use the name because it is too similar to another cosmetics brand, Kroma (no ‘H’).
The western world started tiring of designer logos back in the early 2000′s, about the time Carrie Bradshaw was packing away her Fendi baguette for good. But for the last decade, the Chinese–who recently surpassed Americans as the biggest consumers of luxury goods–have picked up the mantle of logo-mania. But that may be changing now as the Chinese luxury customers’ taste is becoming a bit more discerning.
Makeup guru Napoleon Perdis may not yet be a household name here in the US the way he is in his native Australia, but that’s okay with him–and trust us, he soon will be.
He’s just launched at Bergdorf Goodman and we caught up with him for a phone chat in advance of the launch. Since this is the guy who runs a makeup academy Down Under (he calls it the “Harvard of makeup) we figured some tips were in order. Read on to find out why Perdis thinks you should put on mascara first, and never use lip liner.
Riccardo Tisci is dressing Rihanna for her current tour. Expect to see “couture goggles,” thigh high boots, and a gold bullet motif. Obviously.
