Lips And Tips, A Love Affair

Nude nails made a comeback at the Fall shows and continued to dominate more outlandish, allout nail art experiments for Spring—with a few notable exceptions, that is. Missoni and McQueen got minxed and Sophy Robson etched individual hieroglyphics onto tips backstage at Topshop Unique, while Jin Soon christened the “slim silhouette” backstage at Prabal Gurung.

Pink Eye Is Pretty

There’s so much beauty happening in photographer Sebastian Kim’s gorgeous spread in the new issue of Numéro, it’s hard to know where to begin. Best to start at the top, then, and work our way down. How do you make deep, side-parted marcel waves modern? By coating them in gray-tinged hair powder, of course. It’s [...]

A Green Light To Draw Outside The Lines

When we saw the beauty look backstage at Erin Wasson x RVCA’s Fall show back in February, we were confused. We’re all for arty makeup—especially on the runway—but the one blackened, spiky eyebrow and short, horizontal black lip line combo that was happening backstage seemed less like creative experimentation, and more just plain misguided.

Milkmaid Braids: A Tip Sheet

This month’s issue of Numéro features a black-and-white spread starring cover girl Heidi Mount, in which the model dons a series of broad-shouldered blazers, geometric prints, and structural hair styles to match. While we were originally going to post a Minnie Mouse-inspired look from the story, courtesy of hairstylist Diego Da Silva (picture two French [...]

The Nude Review

There’s something about incipient Spring that brings on a shift toward a more neutral color palette. And while you’ll see it in all of the new collections on shelves now—with eyeshadows in “Sand Dune” and lip shades of the “Almond Kiss” variety leading the charge—short of pale pinks and sheer creams, the kind of true-to-flesh [...]

Nail Polish, Not Exempt from Photo Retouching

You can always count on Numero for some high-concept, fashion-meets-art photo spreads to inspire your creativity in ways that certain, um, “less European” offerings are known to do. Last month they did away with models and instead had this season’s most popular nail lacquers pose for the camera, spilled onto a mirror set up to [...]

hilary rhoda, vying for brow title

Brooke Shields has been the poster child for full eyebrows since she inspired fantasies of illegal proportions as the 15-year-old face of Calvin Klein Jeans. But as model and Estée Lauder spokeswoman Hilary Rhoda displays in the August issue of Numero (and pretty much every magazine you flip through these days), she’s the new brow [...]
