Pastel-tinged hair color just may be the beauty trend that won’t die. After Proenza Schouler showed lavender and mint green streaks at its Spring 2010 show, the hues have seen an endless stream of adaptations both on the runway and off. In addition to London’s famed Bleach salon and its ombré dip-dyeing technique’s arrival at [...]

Playing with tone rather than a range of different face colors has become one of the prevailing beauty trends to come out of the New York shows. The look backstage at Narciso Rodriguez provided yet another example of the technique’s versatility. “Intensely monochromatic” is how Shiseido artistic director Dick Page described the makeup, for which [...]

Deborah Lippmann is known for her collaborative nail lacquers, having already created polish colors with Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, and Mary J. Blige. For fall, she’s teamed up with Narciso Rodriguez to officially release Stormy Weather, the dark slate she used backstage at his show. [Racked]
We’ve heard of nail art, but jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez [...]

Cream eye shadow was something of a staple at the Fall shows, where makeup artists used it to create washes of color that ranged from sheer finishes, like Lucia Pieroni’s greasy brown lids at Rochas, to the kind of opaque iteration Peter Philips employed at Chanel. But Shiseido’s makeup artistic director, Dick Page, took it [...]

We’ve yet to see spring’s bevy of full eye shadow looks play out on the street—or the red carpet, for that matter—but last night at the Tribeca Ball in New York, Leelee Sobieski took one of the season’s more challenging iterations out for a spin. Making like Dick Page at Narciso Rodriguez back in September, [...]

We’re wary of saying this aloud, as we’ve been duped by Old Man Winter before, but temperatures above the forties and that extra hour of dusk courtesy of Daylight Saving’s Time seem to indicate that Spring is indeed on its way. Which means that warmer-weather editions of some of our favorite fragrances are beginning to [...]

The color purple is reprised pretty much every Fall. There’s something about its rich, jeweled tones that speak to the cooler temperatures and work well in complement to the tweeds, plaids, and—if the shows this season are any indication—the onslaught of fur that will hit stores come September. But smudging on a lid-ful of aubergine [...]

Despite a coveted gig opening Louis Vuitton in Paris last season, and a cameo on Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring couture runway, it’s safe to say that Croatian catwalker Kristina Salinovic has officially hit her stride for Fall. We spotted the relative newcomer backstage at Theyskens’ Theory, Anna Sui, Narciso Rodriguez, and, perhaps most notably, Oscar [...]

Shiseido artistic director Dick Page is sporting a purple-tinged black eye at the moment, but his own shiner was not in fact the inspiration behind the similarly hued makeup backstage at Narciso Rodriguez. “We just started playing around,” Page said of the greasy, multi-dimensional lids he constructed for the occasion. “We tried something brown to [...]

If you feel like you’ve seen the super-sleek, side-parted hair that graced the runway at Narciso Rodriguez’ Spring show before, it’s because you have. “He’s referencing himself this season, and in a way, I’m referencing myself for him,” hairstylist Eugene Souleiman told us backstage. Souleiman has his fair share of reference points to cull from, [...]
