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.

As per her very active Twitter feed, makeup maven Pat McGrath filmed a series of how-to videos for CoverGirl with model Jessica Stam this weekend. According to @Jess_Stam, they had “SOOO Much Fun!!” [Twitter]

I’m a big believer in the brilliance of multitasking beauty products, especially in the summer, when the temperature is high and my energy for complicated beauty rituals is very low. Enter the wonder that is eye shadow with a built-in primer, which allows you to paint your lids sea-foam green, rose gold, and shimmering charcoal [...]

Throughout Guido Palau’s ponytail tour this season, in which he has constructed the easy updo from New York to Paris, the coiffing star has stressed that the beauty of the familiar style is the way you can make it look different by implementing small changes. Said changes have come in the form of sleek severity, [...]

“The first looks out are pretty strict,” Guido Palau noted of the Fall Lanvin collection backstage at the show. “Alber [Elbaz] wanted to put ease and femininity back into the clothes. This is a case in point of downplaying extravagance with really simple hair.” So Palau created soft ponytails he gathered above the nape of [...]

As one of—if not the—leading styling experts in the backstage business, he has built up a library of looks, some of which deserve repeat appearances. (Others, admittedly, less so.) We’re on the fence about last [...]

As you’ve probably gleaned from our extensive backstage coverage of the Spring shows, it was a big season for beauty.
