Latest Crazy Beauty Thing: Makeup Depicting Scenes From Disney Movies

Continuing with our crazy beauty trends kick, here's some insane eye and lip art from make-up artist Katie Alves. The girl can do with make-up what most people can barely do with paint, let alone on a tiny patch of fragile skin. The Disney themed eyelids are particularly amazing, although it's tough to decide which is cooler--an Alice in Wonderland panorama, or leopard winged eyeliner? She's even worked a little wordplay in there (think literal fish lips). Our minds are sufficiently blown. One possible problem: With this kind of art it might be difficult to display it and, you know, open your eyes at the same time. We're disregarding that minor detail; can we commission her for next Halloween? Check the slideshow of some of Alves most intricate work. Tell us, which is your favorite? And would you wear anything like this?

Summer Makeup Tips from La Prairie's Makeup Artist

La Prairie, purveyor of very covetable skin care, also has a color makeup line, which not a lot of people realize. As you would expect from the luxury brand, the color line is upscale and posh. You won't see yellow eye shadow here. To help raise awareness of the brand’s makeup collection, La Prairie partnered with makeup artist and founder of Cheek to Chic, Raychel Wade. Raychel created her first (of hopefully many--a holiday collection is already in the works) collection for the brand, called Bouquet de Jardin, which was inspired by peonies. The collection is saturated and gorgeous, yet is formulated to work on a lot of skin tones. It includes two cream blushes which contain vitamins and chamomile, a hybrid kohl eye pencil in a perfect shade of bronze, a rosy quartz eye shadow quad, and a pink lip definer. Raychel sat down with us to share some helpful tips for how to manage your makeup bag and what tricks to use for summer makeup application:

Daphne Guinness on Her Beauty Routine and Why All Men Should Wear Makeup

Last weekend Daphne Guinness--like thousands of other art lovers--hit Miami for Art Basel. While we couldn't be there with her, we had the chance to chat with her and James Gager, MAC's Senior Vice President/Group Creative Director about her new color collection. (We couldn't really imagine the somewhat goth Daphne in Miami among the palm trees but for the record: she loves the sun and always wears a lot of sunscreen.) The Daphne Guinness MAC line, which launches December 26, is full of shades on the cool end of the spectrum. We got our hands on it and can say that the eye shadow quad is a must-have and the sage/silver green nail polish and lip gloss are especially intriguing. We were dying to talk to the mistress of all things over-the-top about how she came up with the surprisingly wearable collection. Click through for her thoughts on guys wearing makeup, her own (minimal!) makeup routine, and why she doesn't think very highly of trends.
