 Chantecaille is a cosmetics company for the flush folk and those who don’t mind dropping upwards of $80 for an eye shadow palette.
For Fall ‘08, the brand unveiled its new colors for their signature Shadow and the Rose palette ($79), which comes with two pearlescent eye shadow shades (mauve and deep brown-purple) and one complementary cheek color (peachy nude). Each color is embossed with Chantecaille’s signature rose, making it nearly impossible to want to use the palette for fear of messing it up.

 The Japanese have been privy to cosmetics from designer Jill Stuart since 2005. That is, until now.
As of March ‘09, Jill Stuart beauty products are hitting our shores in the form of a 20 to 30-piece collection, which is a sizable chunk of the 140-piece one available in Japan. The collection includes everything from cleansing oil to nail polish remover to eye shadow palettes.

 After eleven years under the watchful tutelage of UK makeup artist Mary Greenwell, Jemma Kidd — the little sister of model-turned-Brit-TV-presenter Jodie Kidd — opened up the London-based Jemma Kidd Make Up School and quickly gained a big following among both the style masses and the elite.
One school and one eponymous cosmetics line later, Kidd is partnering with mass retailer Target for a lower price point, fashion-driven line called JK, in which eye shadows are divided into I-Design shades (neutrals) and Hi-Design shades (bold).

 Rock & Republic is moving beyond denim and sexy runway shows.
The brand seems intensely intent on turning itself into a household name in the lifestyle department, expanding further from accessories, shoes, eyeswear and bags into cosmetics.

 New York Fashion Week is now into Day Four and, thankfully, no longer under siege from Hurricane Hanna, who was pelting out raindrops of destruction on Dior and YSL heels at Bryant Park this past weekend.
While it rained cats and dogs outside, smoky gothic black cat eyes reigned big on a few major runways, namely Abaete, Yigal Azrouel and Diane von Furstenberg. Makeup artists, like Jeanine Lobell backstage at the Yigal presentation, kept the rest of the face minimal and zeroed aesethetic focus on the eyes.

 Abigail Lorick, whose designs are the actual ones behind Gossip Girl’s Eleanor Waldorf, had one of the most anticipated New York Fashion Week showings.
Her presentation eschewed the crush of Bryant Park tent attendees and was instead held at a more intimate venue disguised as a cake party. With lemon cocktails. It was all very Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, minus the tight corsets, towering wigs and Jason Schwartzmann. The Lorick models wore extremely doll-like makeup — think lots of blue eyeshadow and bright pink, matte lipstick.

 Last week, the beauty industry was abuzz with rumors that cosmetics brand Hard Candy might be going under when the company’s website had 75 percent slashes in product prices. Top brass at Hard Candy are denying the gossip, saying the brand will continue operating their fragrance business, while repositioning other aspects of the company.
 Bobbi Brown — star makeup artist, owner of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and creator of the best ever Shimmer Lip Gloss (I personally went through three tubes of the Nude shade in four months) — is also apparently a staunch democrat.
