For those of you who’ve noticed the striking resemblance between Justin Bieber’s new Someday fragrance bottle and Marc Jacobs’ Lola, you’re not alone. Jacobs himself is also well aware of the similarities. “We just had a conversation about it. Coty said, ‘Do we sue them?’ and I said, ‘You know what? Let everyone else say [...]

While we typically associate blush with Spring—when an onslaught of rosy pigments tend to hit shelves to help the pale masses ease their way out of winter and into the summer sun—the great cheek accentuator is making an uncharacteristic splash for Fall. As one of the trends we’ve noticed backstage this season, blush has [...]

The first thing you noticed about the Oscar de la Renta girl for Fall was her penchant for towering fur hats. The second? A proclivity for blush. “I wanted you to really feel it—like it’s authentic,” Revlon global artistic director Gucci Westman said of the brand’s ColorBurst Lipsticks in Fuchsia and Candy Pink that she [...]

There are certain things we’ve come to expect backstage at Rag & Bone. Minimal, downtown makeup and undone hair just go with Marcus Wainwright and David Neville’s easy, borrowed-from-the-boys pieces; put simply, the Rag & Bone girl has not jumped on board the statement lip bandwagon and it’s unlikely that she ever will. But she [...]

If we had to choose one Disney princess whose beauty look we’d like to emulate, it’d probably be Rapunzel. But since we’re idling in a very long, post-bob grow-out phase, that’s not in the cards at the moment. Slightly more accessible and easily duplicable, turns out, is Snow White. “Raul [Melgoza] was inspired by [...]

While it pains me to admit this, my nails remain uncharacteristically bare—just as they were when I penned a post last week about my failure to find time for a manicure. Finding the opportunity to take a nail break is only part of my problem, though; dry, brittle tips are the other. In an effort [...]

Glitter nail polish is one form of the sparkly stuff that everyone, no matter how conservative their beauty tendencies may be, can—and should—get behind. It’s glitter for the people, if you will, and it’s had plenty of moments in the fashion spotlight this year: During the Spring 2011 shows, fingertips at House of Holland, The [...]

Jessica Alba is in New York this week promoting her new movie Little Fockers—and what better time to debut a new haircut! “Renato cut it,” she told us yesterday at an intimate gathering at the Trump Soho hotel to introduce Revlon’s latest product line. Renato, of course, is Renato Campora, Frédéric Fekkai celebrity stylist and [...]

The holidays are here—which means Champagne flutes are a-clanking, baked goods are a-tempting, and makeup is a-sparkling. But how much glitter is too much? How do you get that perfect liquid black cat-eye? Like most everyone else, I struggle with these issues this time of year, so I called in the big guns to get [...]

“I saw the clothes and just felt like they needed a lip,” Revlon global artistic director Gucci Westman told us backstage at Oscar de la Renta’s pre-fall show yesterday, where she was busy finger-pressing crimson pigments onto models’ mouths. It’s a sentiment that seems to be resonating with a lot of makeup artists, as painted [...]
