EXCLUSIVE: Pat McGrath Decodes The Smoky Eye—And Six Other Unsolved Beauty Mysteries
Pat McGrath is a woman who wears many hats. A backstage revolutionary who can dictate the width of brows for an entire season with the simple flick of an angled brush, she recently took up film work, devising Rooney Mara’s otherworldly, stone-cold killer makeup for David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. But it’s [...]

Jessica Stam, The Latest Platinum Blonde
Jessica Stam has been flame-haired and flaxen over the course of her catwalking career, but we missed the opportunity to see her positively platinum at Balenciaga this season, as hers was sadly not one of the heads of hair treated to Guido Palau’s peroxide dye jobs. W Korea remedied that this month, with a new [...]
Jessica Stam Does Braids And Brows
Last night’s CFDA Awards ceremony boasted its fair share of models, but Jessica Stam still managed to stand head and shoulders above her long-legged counterparts with a knockout beauty look. First there was her side braid, which we much preferred to Doutzen’s voluminous updo, Sasha’s low-slung chignon, and Dree’s trying-too-hard headband. Then there were her [...]
The Side Plait As Main Course
We knew it was going to take off when we first spied it backstage at Alexander Wang last September (and again at Miu Miu in October), but every time we see Spring 2010’s side-slung braid, we can’t say enough good things about it. Jessica Stam wore one last night at Giambattista Valli’s dinner for Moncler [...]
Du Juan Does Beauty For The People
While it has become a bona fide trend for big-name catwalkers—Amber Valletta, Jessica Stam, Coco Rocha, et al.—to lend their names and hands to fashion labels these days, Du Juan is daring to be different. The Chinese-born ballerina-turned-supermodel has allied herself with Yue-Sai Cosmetics to bring a two-piece beauty range to the market, just in [...]
Summertime Blonde Envy Hits Hard
We have jet-black eyebrows and an olive complexion, so there’s simply no way we’ll ever experience what it’s like to go blonde. Which is why the few and the flaxen possess a special allure in our mind, especially in the summertime when colorists tend to turn it up a few notches with their A-list clients, [...]
This Season, Redheads Have More Fun
When we saw an orange-hued hairline peeking out of the scarf-cum-hood (scood, if you will) Vlada Roslyakova wore at Alexander Wang this past weekend, we thought our eyes were deceiving us. But after a few backstage encounters yesterday, first at Preen and then at DKNY, we were able to confirm our suspicions: Yes, the Russian [...]
Looped In: A Preview Of The Look
Later this week, we’ll launch our January installment of The Look, a beauty feature in which we flesh out a trend that we’ve deemed worthy of the spotlight. This time around, curls take the stage. Not since Andie MacDowell’s late-eighties heyday—remember Sex, Lies, and Videotape?—have we seen hair this big and bouncy. Call it the [...]
