Celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes hit it big after scoring Jennifer Lopez as a client and creating that sun-kissed glow she’s known for (recent proof: her look at this year’s Golden Globes, from top to bottom)
Barnes parlayed his newfound fame into a namesake cosmetics line, bottling that signature glow in his popular Body Bling, all [...]

Women can be creatures of habit when it comes to things aesthetic and sartorial.
After all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
Following this maxim often means wearing the same five-inch heels that manage to land you a free drink or two at the bar, carrying the same clutch that fits your Blackberry (plus three [...]

 I swear the biggest reasons that one of the popular girls in my high school was popular was because of her perfectly angled cat’s-eye, drawn on daily with liquid liner.
I’ll admit, she looked great, but the liquid liner was a little too dramatic for my liking.
Fast forward years later to now, when thoughts of cat’s-eye makeup effects for the holidays and New Year’s Eve seem like a really, really good idea.
Thanks to POP Beauty’s Cat Eyes Automatic Pencil (which was a gift!), I can give myself the look in a less dramatic way because the brand’s pencil is a easy-to-draw-on kohl, not steadfast liquid, so if you make a big boo-boo of a mistake, it’s quite easily fixable. Plus, these angled pencils give you more control over how high or long you want that cat-eye.

 New Yorkers in search of a pretty new smell might want to make a trip to Bergdorf Goodman tonight apres the office.
Catherine Barber and Annette Williams will giving out their two-cents at the Cafe on the beauty level of the luxe department store from 6 pm to 8 pm, telling woman which Donna Karan fragrances (including the original Donna Karan Signature scent, Chaos, Fuel for Men, Black Cashmere and the Donna Karan Essence Collection) best suit their personality through using a host of colors, sounds and images.
Think of it as a sort of tarot card session, only you’ll be learning about smells, rather than the current state of your relationship union (or un-union).

 What’s the best way for a beauty-obsessed girl to spend a dreary, rainy early Saturday afternoon?
In the company of Jennifer Ho, a west coast member of Benefit Cosmetics’ makeup artist roster, naturally.
I arrived at my 1 pm appointment feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to be made glamourous by Jennifer and her arsenal of Benefit goodies. After sitting down in the high chair, she informed me that the brand has actually been around for 30 years, a piece of trivia not known by most.
Benefit is insistent of keeping makeup fun, clearly evidenced by the very cute, pretty packaging and tongue-in-cheek (or is that chic?) product monikers. Jennifer informed me what the brand likes to do is “solve every day beauty dilemmas”, so heavy eye shadow and bright, bright lips aren’t on the cosmetic menu each day of the week.

 The annual November chill wreaks havoc on all things: your hair, boots, skin, clothes and attitude in general.
After all, no one likes nights that roll in at 4 pm — and no one likes torrential downpours that equate frizz and frazzle.
I suppose the two bright spots in November are Thanksgiving long weekends and the excuse to really start jotting down a wish list of things you wouldn’t mind finding under your tree for the holidays.
Here is a little wish list of top five beauty products that will keep you pretty right into the New Year and will make it a very happy holiday, indeed.
