Black cat-eye liner was the eye makeup trend of the Spring season (click here for more of our top ten beauty moments), but there was another unlikely eye pigment shade that got a fair bit of play: red. It turned up in varying degrees of opacity—from a wash of color at Clements Ribeiro and Anna [...]

Monochrome makeup struck again at Anna Sui, but it wasn’t another case of the flesh-toned beiges, mauves, and browns we’ve been seeing this week; instead, Pat McGrath played with the color red. “It’s very much to do with Antonio Lopez and Donna Jordan,” the makeup master said, referencing the famed fashion illustrator and his muse-turned-Warhol-superstar. [...]

The first pictures of Kate Moss’ nuptials to Kills front man Jamie Hince are hitting the Web—as are details about the supe’s wedding day glam squad. Backstage regular Sam McKnight reportedly did Moss’ hair, while London’s manicurist-with-the mostest, Sophy Robson, was on nail duty. [Grazia]
Let it be known, Hollywood life is not for Emma Watson. [...]

Despite a coveted gig opening Louis Vuitton in Paris last season, and a cameo on Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring couture runway, it’s safe to say that Croatian catwalker Kristina Salinovic has officially hit her stride for Fall. We spotted the relative newcomer backstage at Theyskens’ Theory, Anna Sui, Narciso Rodriguez, and, perhaps most notably, Oscar [...]

A little bit disco, a little bit hippie. That was the beauty vibe at Anna Sui’s Spring show, where her signature gypsy garb came accessorized with naturally tousled hair, a sun-kissed complexion, and, perhaps most thrillingly, eyelids generously coated in black-gold shimmer. So for today’s challenge, I turned to the ladies of the canyon (as [...]

As is typically the case with Anna Sui, there was plenty to see backstage at her Spring show this week. Aside from makeup maestro Pat McGrath’s “theatrical black glitter” eyes and hairstylist Garren’s Days of Heaven-inspired, middle-parted down ‘dos, Ms. Sui herself was mingling with models and reporters, showing off a fantastic, sparkly charcoal manicure [...]

Backstage at Donna Karan and Anna Sui’s Spring shows, makeup artist and Cover Girl creative director Pat McGrath took us on a quick run through some of the bigger launches she’s got planned for the brand this year. Particularly noteworthy was the new Blast collection, featuring LashBlast Length Mascara, which is cleverly designed with product [...]

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 [...]

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. McGrath also dabbed [...]

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 [...]
