Backstage At Christopher Kane, “Really Pretty” Hair And Makeup
When we met up with hairstylist Anthony Turner backstage at Christopher Kane this morning, he voiced what everyone was thinking. “It’s really pretty this year,” Turner said of the overall feel of the collection—beauty included. Focusing on “something softer” to coincide with buzz words from Kane that included “naive” and “homemade,” Turner crafted side-parted, low-slung [...]
Desperately Seeking Tinted Moisturizer
When Prescriptives decided to shutter its doors two years ago, I had two reactions in quick succession: sadness at the loss of the brand I’d been using almost exclusively since teen-dom, then panic about whether I would be able to stockpile enough of its bestsellers to last me for the rest of eternity. Most could [...]
Chantecaille’s Summer Skin Mixer
Shocking as this may sound, I discovered foundation four months ago. I obviously always knew it was out there and have test-driven countless formulas during my tenure as a beauty editor, but in my personal life—that Brooklyn existence, where lace-less Keds replace ankle-breaking wedges—I’ve never been a huge fan (read: I never really needed it). [...]
Chantecaille’s Latest Compact For A Cause
Chantecaille is on a mission to save endangered wildlife, one makeup palette at a time. Over the past few years, the brand has gotten in the habit of partnering with wildlife conservation agencies and introducing beautifully embossed palettes dedicated to the animals it’s hoping to protect.

Priti NYC’s Sugar Rush
Among the many wonderful things that the French have bequeathed us—Vanessa Bruno, camembert, Serge Gainsbourg and his various offspring—the Parisian patisserie Ladurée’s famous macarons rank very, very high. So it’s easy to understand why Priti NYC took inspiration from the pastries for its new nail collection. The latest in a long line of beauty brands [...]
Thinking Pink On Black Friday
Onika Tanya Maraj, a.k.a. Nicki Minaj, is no stranger to collaboration: The Trinidadian-born, Queens-raised hip-hop artist has produced guest tracks with heavyweights like Eminem, Usher, Ludacris, Lil’ Wayne, and P. Diddy, to name a few. Now the 25-year-old lyricist is taking her alter-ego talents to the beauty level, teaming up with MAC to create a [...]
Pretty Sick
Very few of us will be able to make it through fall and winter without getting a cold, or worse, the flu. And for those with wimpy immune systems, sickness happens far more than once a season. Since life and work must go on despite red blotchy skin, a sallow complexion, and dark under-eye circles, [...]
The House of Chantecaille Is Open for Business
Not all brands need a stand-alone store to become smash hits. Just look at Chantecaille. The mother-and-daughter operation has been a favorite with lovers of rose-scented waters, skin-rejuvenating creams, and bronzers—not to mention collectible embossed eye and cheek palettes—since it launched more than a decade ago. But there’s something to be said for a place [...]
Tiger Beat
Environmental conservation is something near and dear to Olivia Chantecaille’s heart—thus her seasonal, animal-shaped palettes, which serve both the animal world and your beauty regimen with each purchase (and you thought all that embossing was just for aesthetic appeal!). Chantecaille’s Bengal tiger range—the sale of which benefits TRAFFIC, an international wildlife monitoring organization focused on [...]
