“Mother-of-pearl,” that delicate, iridescent, reflective color most notably found inside seashells, may not be easily translatable into fabrics, but Giorgio Armani made short work of that task for Spring. Its glimmering effect is readily available in the cosmetics world, however, which was not lost on Giorgio Armani Beauty international makeup artist Linda Cantello, who not [...]

In a season full of brunettes and the occasional platinum blonde, thanks to another go-around of the hard-to-maintain hair color at Balenciaga, the age of the redhead seems to have subsided. But that brief moment circa the Fall 2009 shows when Vlada and Coco went ginger, making the fashion pack take pause and in many [...]

It all started at the Couture shows in January. Peter Philips scrawled a deliberately short, thick, almost awkward line across models’ top lash lines at Chanel to “take the makeup look away from retro,” and a new era of unexpected liner applications had officially begun. Since then, the concept has been all over the Fall [...]

Giorgio Armani’s “night sky over the Sahara” inspiration for Spring—equipped with Tuareg head wraps—conjured images of desert wanderers. But seeing as how this is an Armani wanderer we’re talking about, there were no dusty, sandstorm-blown faces to be found backstage.

There has been much talk on Beauty Counter over the past few weeks about brows. They didn’t seem to be a focal point of the Fall shows at the get-go, but a case for prominent arches has been made, slowly but surely. In New York, we saw them at The Row and Narciso Rodriguez; in [...]

Of course, in this age of the statement lip, we have our go-tos. When it comes to reds, we swear by Dior Rouge No. 999 in Fiery Red; it’s discontinued but can still be unearthed with a little online sleuthing. For fuchsia, it’s gotta be YSL’s Rouge Volupté in No. 10 Provocative Pink. [...]

Little escapes Giorgio Armani’s famous eye for detail, from the runway right down to the star-studded front row fan club. The Armani faithful always arrive in clothes that blend together beautifully in a carefully considered and controlled palette. This season it was soothing gray tones mingled with black and white, but in the VIP room [...]

Painted, sketched, and photographed by seemingly just about every famous artist in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Marchesa Luisa Casati has been many things to many people. The eccentric, flame-haired beauty who wore snakes as necklaces and pranced cheetahs in diamond collars through the streets of Paris, Milan, and Capri played living muse [...]

Despite the black-and-white movie star inspiration at Giorgio Armani’s Armani Privé Couture show earlier this week, the more we flip through the backstage beauty images, the less we’re seeing Ingrid Bergman. The cropped dark hair? The side-swept bangs? The minimal makeup and those defined brows? Is it just us or was there a waft of [...]
