Rihanna, The Latest Blonde; Shiseido Signs Jennifer Connelly; And More…
Seeing as how it’s rare that Rihanna keeps one hairstyle for longer than a few months, we knew that her long, highlighted curls would one day come to an end. And it looks like that day is today, as Ri-Ri debuts a new, blond shag with bangs. [Us]
In somewhat of a coup, Shiseido has signed [...]
Dick Page Goes Pastel
When Shiseido launched its Shimmering Cream Eye Color collection last fall, it seemed like a no-brainer. On the heels of a Fall show season where creamy pigments ruled the runway, a 12-piece shade range from the brand’s artistic director of makeup, Dick Page, was par for the course. But Page’s pigments stood out in the [...]
Let Them Wash With Honey Cake
All clichés aside, this truly is the most wonderful time of year—especially for beauty junkies. Between the limited-edition product sets and all the festive packaging, its like being a kid in a candy store—a gold-flecked lipstick, shimmer powder-packed candy store.

Two Cat-Eyes Are Better Than One
After poring over the Spring shows for the past few months, we’ve begun honing in on the beauty looks that we plan on breaking out next season.

When words like “safari” and “Africa” provide the backstage beauty inspiration, there’s really only one way to go: “I’m exploring the different sides of bronze,” Shiseido artistic director Dick Page said of the golden finishes he was serving up at Michael Kors. Assigning a selection of Shiseido’s bronzing powders to complement individual complexions, the makeup [...]
A Twofer, Backstage At Narciso Rodriguez
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 [...]
“Pretty 101,” Backstage At Marc By Marc Jacobs
All of last season’s starkly bare faces are officially brightening up—or so it seemed backstage at Marc by Marc Jacobs makeup artist Dick Page was conducting a class on what he called “Pretty 101.” Keeping his color palette of golds and pinks transparent, the Shiseido artistic director had one objective before models hit the runway: [...]
Look Good, Do Good
As the situation in Japan quickly goes from bad to worse, everyone is trying to do their part to help the citizens of the tsunami- and earthquake-ravaged country recoup–beauty businesses included. Shiseido, the Japanese beauty authority, introduced a no-purchase-necessary initiative this week, donating 100 million Japanese Yen (approximately $1,239,000) outright to aid in the relief [...]
The Lips Have It, Backstage At Sonia Rykiel
Since lipstick made its triumphant return about three years ago, some brands—more so than others—have been quick to adapt to the demand for vivid, opaque offerings that are a far cry from the early aughties reliance on gloss. Shiseido is one of them, churning out the spectacular Day Lily—a bright orange—as well as the kind [...]
