We posted the above image of Leighton Meester on Wednesday, when she attended the grand opening of the American Eagle Outfitters’ New York flagship store sporting a matte red lip and gray/violet raccoon eyes, which is why seeing Taylor Momsen at the Cinema Society and D&G screening of New Moon last night was particularly jarring.

The “biggest show on earth” took place yesterday, with a live performance from Fergie to boot. But before all of the winged action on the Victoria’s Secret runway began, we made our way past the weapon-sniffing dogs and waded through piles of rogue hair extensions backstage to chat up makeup artist Tom Pecheux, who was [...]

We tend to eschew makeup brushes in favor of the ten free precision tools attached to our hands. The only trouble is, they don’t come with an instruction manual. Enter Galit Strugano. The Girlactik Beauty creator advocates using your fingers instead of synthetic or natural brushes so you can benefit from the natural heat and [...]

Yes, I work in beauty, but I watch American football religiously and spent a good many years perfecting my skills at the European version (I played a mean right wing). But there are certain amenities that really [...]

Leighton Meester may have shown up to the American Eagle flagship store opening in New York last night with a red lip, gray smoky eyes, and long, cascading waves, but she made a quick costume change into thick bangs and a topknot before performing her new single for the crowd. Yes, we said “perform” and [...]

The Olsens offered us so many runway-to-reality talking points at MoMA’s Second Annual Film Benefit honoring Tim Burton last night that we’re not quite sure where to begin. Shall we start with Ashley’s subtle, pastel hair streaks à la Proenza Schouler, or should we dive right in and applaud Mary-Kate’s two-toned berry lip, as seen [...]

Rihanna has been shirking her statement-lip responsibilities of late, choosing instead to sport a high-gloss nude pout to recent events and focusing most of her attention on her eyes.
