Megan Fox's Makeup - Bronze vs. Pale

Filed under: Style in the News

Was Megan Fox simply tired of looking like a typical bronzed Maxim-made hottie? Or was it that her makeup artist missed the bit about matching foundation to skin tone?

Either way, Fox put on quite the Kabuki performance at the Giorgio Armani Privé fashion show.

My guess is that it was an homage to Marilyn Monroe gone awry. The pale skin, coupled with thick black eyeliner and red lipstick was reminiscent of the late actress, whose likeness is tattooed on Fox's arm.

Dramatic makeup on the runway is inspiring, but few of us have the skills or patience to recreate the looks at home. That's why we were thrilled to get an invitation for a Dior Master Makeup class at Neiman Marcus, led by professional makeup artist Karen Hummel.

Along with 15 other lucky ladies, we watched Karen transform a willing volunteer from regular chick to runway goddess, giving her the trendy bronzed look that's perfect for spring and summer. Then we all got a chance to try doing it ourselves, with expert guidance from the Dior experts -- and mixed results!

Why aren't you wearing this? Cosmic Cuff

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


There is nothing wrong with an accessory that's subtle and delicate -- there are plenty of times when that's exactly what an outfit needs. However, we find more occasions on which we'd prefer to wear a piece that brings a little more to the table -- the type of piece that can make a stranger take a second look.

Tip of the day: Jennifer Hudson is too matchy-matchy

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day


We love Jennifer Hudson. She's a fierce lady with booty for days. Her voice is fantastic as are her acting skillz and she's besties with Andre Leon Talley of Vogue fame (heart!). However, this Peter Soronen dress had us scratching our heads. Puzzled some might say. Bewildered for others.

It's almost as bad as the caped crusader fiasco at last year's Oscars. Her posture isn't as confident as usual, the bronze hue (which is tough to pull off as is) overwhelms her lovely skin tone, and the hair is too severe paired with such a strong dress. To top it all off with the bronze shoe is just too much. Maybe with some softer boob length waves and a strappy shoe in another color this might've worked but definitely don't try this look at home.

Creepy cool Lady Grey Jewelry

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News


What do you get when you mix a background in dental work with art school metals training? Well, when you multiply that interesting mix by two, the result is the just-this-side of macabre Lady Grey Jewelry.

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader are the Mass Art-trained designers behind this bone/wood/icon obsessed line of necklaces, bracelets, rings and wearable objects. They work out of a studio in Brooklyn and as their totally cool site puts it, are "inspired by objects of decay -- such as teeth, branches and bones."

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Most of us love the summertime – the sun, the beach, the warmth, the runny makeup... okay, so maybe we don't love all of it. When the weather is hot and you're sweating your face off literally, it is time to readjust your makeup routine so you don't look like a hot mess for the next three months.
