As you’ve probably gathered from our latest posts, Beauty Counter is reporting from London this weekend, as the Spring shows have officially crossed the pond. In between getting the backstage scoop at House of Holland, Vivienne Westwood, and Jonathan Saunders (more on that in a bit), we’re also trying to squeeze in some other, er, [...]

Last night at Jefferson Hack’s Another Magazine bash at The Fat Radish, several guests showed off some bold beauty looks—Daphne Guinness, with her signature streaked, salt-and-pepper hair, and nightlife diva Sophia Lamar’s purple and blue coif among them. But it was China Chow’s pro tips that stopped us in our tracks as we were en [...]

We penned a love letter to freckles earlier this summer, and now that Fall is making its rapid return we’re realizing that all of those adorable speckled flecks don’t have to fade with our tan.

It’s been almost four months since we first laid eyes on Peter Philips’ Fall collection, but the agony of waiting is finally over. The face-painting star’s [...]

If the makeup at today’s Chanel cruise show in Antibes looked particularly understated for a Karl Lagerfeld event staged on the Riviera, that was intentional. “The focus is on the easiness of the look,” Chanel creative director of makeup Peter Philips said of the fresh-faced beauty he sent down the runway in the South of [...]

Metallics were all over the Fall runways—from Tom Pecheux’s frosted copper mouths at Peter Som and his smoky pewter lids at Derek Lam to Odile Gilbert’s feather-shaped goldleaf brush strokes on hair at Jason Wu. But our favorite take on the molten pigments came from Chanel, where Peter Philips debuted three colors from his new [...]

In the latest issue of Vogue Italia, Amber Valletta grapples with the modeling establishment’s current dilemma and a question that has divided mankind since the dawn of peroxide: blonde or brunette?
