Some pretty unusual things inspire beauty collaborations these days: Miss Piggy, super hero movies, and caviar are just some recent examples. The latest? YSL’s newest limited edition eye shadow palette was inspired by…Facebook. Beauty brands often use Facebook apps and stage special giveaways through the social media platform. But this is the first product we’ve Read more →
We already told you about all the great fashion we saw in Sao Paulo last week, but there were also some lovely makeup looks that, luckily for us, were totally attainable. We even got special backstage access, courtesy of MAC, who–full disclosure–were our gracious hosts for the week, and thus got step-by-step instructions on how to create each gorgeous look.
From a ’60s-inspired beach look to a bold, graphic eye, click through for our five favorites and how to achieve them yourself.
Beth Ditto is just flat out awesome, so it makes sense that her namesake makeup collection would be, too. We reported way back in January that the collection was happening, and now it’s here; you can snag pieces from her very colorful polka-dot themed line starting June 7.
We’ve been noticing something really strange on the red carpet this spring–starlets and A-listers alike have been digging out their darkest lipstick. Forget about pretty berry, bright pinks, and cool corals (spring trends, all). It’s all about goth, 90s, Courtney Love-circa-the-Hole-era wine pouts. And here’s a secret: We like it. The Met Gala was a Read more →
As much as we adore the generally flaw-free Karl Lagerfeld and the majority of his creative decisions regarding all that is Chanel, we have to admit that we were a little… conflicted about the hair and makeup we saw at yesterday’s 2013 Chanel Cruise show at Versailles. Those weird candy colored bob wigs with George Read more →
Carine Roitfeld is giving Karl Lagerfeld a run for his money lately in terms of picking up extracurricular projects. After various styling gigs and prepping her new fashion glossy, CR Fashion Book, for a September release, WWD reports today that the former Vogue Paris editrix is the latest to snag a MAC cosmetics collection. While Read more →
Quick question: How awesome would it be to have your very own glam squad in the comfort of your own home? Thanks to YouTube and their massive makeup how-to library of makeup tutorials, now you actually do. But there’s no need to watch them all—we’ve sifted through thousands of tutorials to find the most informative Read more →
We get a lot of beauty pitches from companies hoping to capitalize on various pop culture developments. (I can’t tell you how many “Get Katniss’ braid!” pitches I got during the weeks leading up to The Hunger Games premiere.) But the one we received today is worthy of mention because it managed to capitalize on Read more →
Marc Jacobs is having a bit of a creative beauty moment right now. He just announced that he’s working on a color cosmetics line with Sephora, and today WWD has a long profile on the designer and his new fragrance, Dot, the more flamboyant of his fragrances. MJ refers to his fragrances as “sisters” and Read more →
I remember buying a Marc Jacobs wallet a few years ago at his store on Bleecker street in NYC, where I was randomly given blush, lipgloss, and fragrance samples as part of the purchase. I remember thinking at the time, “Why doesn’t Marc do a full makeup line?” Well, it’s finally happening.
There was a lot of pretty, wearable, clean looks on the fall 2012 runways this past month. And while that’s great for real life, we really love when makeup artists, hair stylists and designers collaborate and do something a bit more over-the-top. We may never sport painted, sculpted Ken Doll hair, but it sure is fun to look at.
We’ve rounded up some of the wackier, more creative and utterly fantastical runway beauty looks from all four fashion cities. Click through to see how color, volume and face/hair accessories helped to tell runway stories this past month and challenge notions of beauty. And don’t be surprised if you suddenly want to try eyebrow art.
After finding quirky make up muses in Daphne Guinness, Beth Ditto, and Iris Apfel, M.A.C. has announced a new collection based on the Ultimate Muse – Marilyn Monroe. (A little late to jump on that bandwagon, but hey, Michelle Williams could still win an Oscar for My Week With Marilyn, right?)
The cosmetic line is partnering with Authentic Brands Group LLC, who acquired the intellectual property of Marilyn Monroe LLC last year, WWD is reporting.
