Olio Lusso, The Backstage Skin Saver

Spending a concentrated amount of time pulling backstage duty each season, we have noticed a few secret weapons in makeup artists’ kits. Cosmetics, after all, can only go so far on their own. Tubs of Vaseline and tins of Smith’s Rosebud Salve make frequent appearances from New York to Paris, since, when combined with an [...]

Anna Sui: Lions And Tigers And Heavy Liner—Oh My!

Harking back to one of her favorite moments in time, Anna Sui ordered a familiar sixties-era beauty look for her Spring presentation yesterday. “We’re going to the Mod circus,” makeup artist Pat McGrath laughed as she applied black eyeliner and Twiggy-inspired spider lashes to models’ lids with heavy strokes of CoverGirl LashBlast.

FNO Recap: Like Halloween, For The Style Set

With so many gift bags, on-site manis, and transitional “night makeup” applications to be had last night, I decided the best way to cover a lot of ground was to stick to one neighborhood. So for convenience reasons, I chose Soho and made my first stop Anna Sui on Greene Street. I naturally gravitated toward [...]

Anna Sui Paints Agyness In Full Color

Anna Sui’s cosmetics range became a favorite with beauty gurus and editors alike when it debuted almost ten years ago. After disappearing for a while due to some unresolved licensing “issues,” the collection of brightly colored, boudoir-inspired eye shadows, lip glosses, and nail lacquers has been in slow-moving comeback mode (elaborate “beauty bars” were erected [...]

Anna Sui Is “Living The Dream”

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Anna Sui’s first foray into cosmetics and fragrance, a suite was set up backstage at her show last night, displaying the full color line and collection of perfumes. The rose-scented makeup went M.I.A for a little while, but it’s back in full effect with five new lip glosses, five [...]

Is Agyness Deyn Over Her Signature Spikes?

Despite sporting a longer coif equipped with vision-impairing fringe these days, model Agyness Deyn is not necessarily forgoing the short spiky hair that helped give her “super” status. “I just haven’t gotten it cut in a while,” Deyn explained to us backstage at Anna Sui in her northern English accent. “It is so long now, [...]

spring’s sun-kissed skin: beyond the bronze

During the Spring show season, designers often pass down a “warm” mandate to the makeup artist in charge backstage. This is why, aside from a few rogue dissenters, you frequently see a bevy of rosy cheeks walking down the runway come September. Spring 2009 was no exception to this general rule, although in a particularly [...]

Anna Sui Celebrates Ten Years Of Beauty

In addition to the usual fare backstage at Anna Sui last night—models, mayhem, and mini-burgers, if craft services is really on its game—a “beauty bar” was set up to display the designer’s makeup range. While you may be familiar with a few choice items from Sui’s cosmetics line—bright shadows and blushes housed in pretty deep [...]

It’s All About the Eye Mask

Talent and ingenuity aside, famed makeup artist Pat McGrath has another trick up her sleeve when it comes to keeping models looking fresh-faced before sending them down the runway. McGrath is said to be a fan of SK-II’s Signs Eye Mask which she will surely have on hand while painting faces at Oscar de la [...]
