Discovering primer was the best thing to happen to me since discovering the the joint benefits of mascara and shu uemura eyelash curlers.
Primer is so fantastic because it smooths over pores and makes your makeup stay put, from concealer to powder to blush to bronzer.
My new favorite is Fresh Rose FreshFace Primer, a sweet-smelling — [...]

Wednesday at the tents was phenomenal: Dennis Basso, Derek Lam, Halston, Rodarte, Behnaz Sarafpour, Badgley Mischka, G-Star, Matthew Williamson, Trovata and Mulberry.
Badgley Mischka went with dark gray eye shadow with pink lips and pulled back hair — Dennis Basso echoed the same darker, emphasized eyes on his runway, as did Trovata (in the eyeliner arena). [...]

 Fall ‘09 was no different in terms of gorgeous clothing from Herrera. While her pieces were wonderfully detailed, she opted to keep her models in youthful makeup (think flushed cheeks and sheer orange eye shadow). Where the likes of Lily Donaldson, Lakshmi Menon, Liu Wen, Tanya D, Olga Sherer, Toni Garrn, Natasha Poly and Kasia Struss lacked in bold makeup was made up in bold hair accessories, with bobby pins embellished with metallic flowers holding together low chignons.
Carolina Herrera wasn’t the only one adorning manes in one way or another.

The biggest show, year after year, is no doubt Marc Jacobs.
Fashion elite waited hours in past seasons for Jacobs’ runway presentations in a stifling hot venue just to see what the talented Mr. Jacobs had to offer the sartorial world, because somehow he always instinctively ahead of the trend game.
This season, the man kilt-loving designer [...]

Flipping through the latest March issue of NYLON, I couldn’t help but wonder — in classic Carrie Bradshaw speak — how actress Camilla Belle got that great, natural looking lip color in her Marvin Scott Jarrett-shot editorial spread.
Eight words: L’Oreal Paris HiP High Intensity Pigments Jelly Balm.
The consistency is, as the name suggests, exactly like [...]

For the fashion set, the seven-day bonanza — best known as Fashion Week — of runway collections, after-parties, celebrity sightings, free Veuve, swag bags, front-row gossip and nights dancing at hip joints takes a detrimental toll physically (body can’t function, unless on eBoost or sugar-free Red Bull), mentally (mind can’t keep track of all next [...]

I will sing the praises of Benefit bronzers and powders until the day I go to the big makeup counter and Vogue closet in the sky.
In fact, I’ll admit right now that I own two Benefit Dallas bronzers, just in case.

New York Fashion Week is approaching its mid-cycle, with more than 20 well-known designers — both established and rising (hello, Jason Wu!) — having sent their Fall ‘09 collections down the runway.
One of the most amazing makeup jobs I’ve seen so far was on British-born model (and mannequin du jour) Jourdan Dunn at the 50th [...]
