After spreading its backstage beauty wings last month, sponsoring its first-ever Couture show at Bouchra Jarrar in Paris, NARS Cosmetics made a convincing case for taking its face-painting show on the road. While François Nars’ beloved brand is a fixture at New York fashion week, frequently turning up at Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, 3.1 Phillip Lim, [...]

At last year’s Golden Globes, something unusual happened that completely usurped the show’s typical beauty highlights. After the ceremony began and the gaggle of gowns, chignons, and painted pouts were seated, the camera panned to Angelina Jolie, who, at that very moment, rifled through her bag, produced a crystalline pink lip gloss, and proceeded to [...]

Last year, I did something revolutionary with my skincare routine: I stopped using soap and water to clean my face. Motivated by the theory that a lot of cleansers strip your skin of necessary oils and that tap water leaves behind trace minerals that can cause dryness and irritation, I kicked my daily cleanser to [...]

Red lipstick is a holiday staple, and according to François Nars, you really can’t go wrong with a bold crimson mouth. “When it comes to choosing a red lipstick, there are no rules,” the makeup maestro recently told Barneys’ Simon Doonan. “Just go for what you are most attracted

The start of fall’s transition into winter is cemented for us when we have to switch concealers to account for the complete disappearance of the remnants of our summer tan. That sad day happened last week, dear readers, and while we mourn the loss of any semblance of a golden bronze, we’ve come to the [...]

Today, after weeks of nonstop shows and a long October that included many late nights at the office, Style.com/Print is finally on newsstands. Our debut glossy has already generated a fair bit of chatter around the blogosphere. Since images of our cover star, Lindsey Wixson, hit the Web last Thursday, the intrigue has mounted. Which [...]

Believe it or not, the holidays are here—at least at beauty counters nationwide as companies start rolling out their festive seasonal collections. This time of year always brings on pangs of anxiety (the thought of starting our own holiday shopping, now or even two months from now, is terrifying) and elation in equal measure because, [...]

Marc Jacobs is a man known for his statement-making abilities, and he sure made one before his show even commenced: no press allowed backstage. We were bummed not to be able to witness the beauty wizardry of François Nars and Guido Palau firsthand, but if a flurry of press (scratch that; more like a hailstorm) [...]

Many designers, Phillip Lim among them, believe that every single detail is integral to a successful collection; you can’t have the right dress and jacket without the right beauty look to go with it. Lim’s Spring starting point was kites. Hairstylist Odile Gilbert’s? “The wind.” Coating locks with Kérastase’s new Fibre Architecte serum to create [...]

If it wasn’t clear from the sunflower-print opening looks that Laura and Kate Mulleavy sent out onto the runway, Vincent van Gogh and his most famous works partially inspired their Spring Rodarte collection and its complementary beauty look. “It’s Starry Night,” makeup artist James Kaliardos said backstage, referencing the Dutch post-impressionist master’s oil-on-canvas depiction of [...]
