Chanel 2012-13 F/W Ready-To-Wear Beauty: All About the Brows

A bold brow is a sign of youth. So what is a bold brow laced with grey sequins; a sign of eternal youth? It looks more like it’s from another planet than a place of eternal youth to me. I enjoyed the models’ looks – pale, matte foundation with neutral lips and lavender/taupe shadow that [...]

Steal the Look: Lanvin Fall 2012’s Purr-fect Eyes

Even though it’s not quite over, I can already safely say: my favorite look out of all of Paris Fashion Week was seen at Lanvin. With a porcelain complexion, naturally pretty pink lip, and one seriously exaggerated, dramatic cat eye, this glossy look was as spring-fresh as it was rock ‘n’ roll. During NYFW last [...]

Milan Fashion Week Roundup: High Cheekbones, Higher Drama

You can rely on the Italians to deliver high levels of drama, especially when it comes to the visage. Fall 2012 is no exception. Whether the focus was on the lips, eyes, or hair, no designer went halfway. It was all or nothing. Here’s my pick of the most striking looks: 1) Gucci: Pat McGrath [...]

Milan Fashion Week Beauty Recap VI

It was all about graphic eyes in the final days of Milan Fashion Week. Here’s a look at some of the most notable looks to close out the season! Roberto Cavalli: Sure he stuck to his guns with lots of animal print, but Cavalli went in a darker direction this Fall and the collection’s many [...]

Kimberly Ovitz Fall 2012: Mega-Brows on Androgynous Babes

A dark, grungy, almost Goth mood reigned at Kimberly Ovitz’s Fall 2012 show – and the faces were somehow even more severe than the unapologetic black clothing, much of it draped like capes over the models as if they were night crusaders. It was all about the brow: a thick straight line, as dark as [...]

Milan Fashion Week Beauty Recap V

From braids to architectural men’s-inspired hair, here’s a look at the latest from the Milan runways. Missoni: Thankfully the makeup was kept bare because there was A LOT going on in the collection this season. That said I was surprised at how architectural they went with the hair. Eugene Souleiman said he wanted a “handsomely [...]

Milan Fashion Week Beauty Recap IV

Bangs and headbands are still strong on the runways, but unfortunately so is gel overkill…Here’s a look at some of the latest memorable beauty looks taking to the Milan catwalks. Emilio Pucci: The Germanic-influenced hair-as-headband look continues here. I’m actually finding this style surprsingly chic. Here braided extensions were used that matched the models’ natural [...]

Milan Fashion Week Beauty Recap III

Lucky for New York that it’s first in the line-up of the major Fashion Weeks, because it truly can’t compete with the excitement of Milan and Paris (and even London this season!). The dark and gothic trend continues and so, fittingly, there were even some Rooney Mara doppelgangers in the mix. Here’s a look at [...]

Milan Fashion Week Beauty Recap II

The dark mood in Milan continues with some truly outstanding looks (see Prada for the ultimate wow!). Just Cavalli: Not everyone may be able to pull off Cavalli’s signature rock-n-roll-inspired animal prints, but loose flowing beach waves is a style countless women can get behind. Bust out the big rollers ladies! Etro: I didn’t love [...]

Here’s a look at some of the most notable beauty looks that have been complementing Milan’s striking fashions. Gucci: The bleached brow is back and here [...]
