Form beauty look

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week

Backstage at Form S/S '09, the beauty look from Chantel at MAC as seen on model Michele Onellet (Marilyn), before a rooftop show during New York Fashion Week. Notice the pastel hue saturated at the high cheek, shown below, that blends to a powered, blank skin, then nude lip. Chantle says, "We used Baroque and Rocco paintings and invented a modern twist."



Papermag talks beauty and fashion with Dita Von Teese

Filed under: Celebrities with Style



Much like Amy Winehouse, the fashion industry seems to be enamored with raven-haired beauty Heather Sweet, aka Dita Von Teese. She walked the runway for Moschino Cheap & Chic, she always sits front row at Chanel, Dior, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton each season and gets invited to only the best parties.

Plus, Paper magazine just added this interview with the super glamorous burlesque babe onto their site.

In the short three minute clip, everybody's favorite stripper discusses her love for old Hollywood, Christian Dior, vintage clothing, and MAC cosmetics, which she is a spokesmodel for.

Sorry, guys. There is no splashing around in a giant champagne glass. Enjoy.

When Heatherette made a promo video

Filed under: Cosmetics



As we reported earlier, the limited-edition makeup collection by Heatherette was in such high demand that MAC cosmetics had to bump up its release date by one week.

Well, this weekend we went to our local MAC beauty counter at the mall to see what all of the fuss was about. And let's just say the eccentric duo has made believers out of us.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Glitter Eye

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Glitter Eye
I love glitter. I mean what girl doesn't like the shiny stuff? I have been wearing glitter on my eyes for years and years. I can clearly remember myself as a teen heading off to baby-sit with a fresh coat of glitter on my eyelids only to hear my mother shout "Get that crap off of your eyes, you will scare the kids." Newsflash Mama, kids like glitter too.

Glitter may have never left for me but for the rest of the population it's probably been a while since you have rocked it. This coming Fall has been dubbed by MAC Cosmetics as the "season of the glitter eye." I am sure a lot of you just jumped back in horror with images of disco balls and drag queens but fear not because there are many ways to wear this trend without looking absolutely ridiculous.

Go wild: If you want to go wild with this trend there are some awesome beauty products that you should try out. MAC's glitter eyeliner is a personal favorite of mine and comes in a bunch of fun colors. Another great item to try is glitter mascara; this look should be reserved for evening only and be careful not to rub your eyes too much (glitter in the eyes hurts).

Go subtle:
If the thought of glitter has you running scared you can go easy with the trend and try a shimmery eye shadow or apply a little glitter lotion to your legs or chest. NARS body glow lotion smells great and will give you the glitter affect without going overboard.

M.A.C. raises $100 million for AIDS research

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style for a Cause

mac viva glamOne of the most successful campaigns in the beauty world is M.A.C's Viva Glam campaign. When you purchase Viva Glam products at M.A.C., 100 percent of the sales go towards M.A.C.'s AIDS Fund, which raises money to fight HIV and AIDS globally. This Fall M.A.C. has reached an incredible milestone by raising $100 million dollars. This milestone has been 13 years in the making and M.A.C will continue to raise money as they set their next goal.

Aside from having great Viva Glam products to purchase, celebrities have lent their fame to campaign as well. In the past Viva Glam spokespersons have been Ru Paul (the first spokesperson), Eve, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Missy Elliot, and many more. The next spokesperson will be none other than singer Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson.

Viva Glam products are for sale year round, so head to your M.A.C counter and support a good cause.

I dream of McQueen

Filed under: Style in the News, Cosmetics

alexander mcqueen mac cosmeticsI am a bit of a makeup junkie. I have every eyeshadow, lip gloss, bronzer, powder, pouf, and brush under the sun -- except for this. What is this you ask? This is the new cosmetic collection for MAC designed by Alexander McQueen.

British bad-boy/fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been wowing us on the runway for years, and now he brings his creative talent to your face. In McQueen's last fashion show he was inspired by Cleopatra. It took a little bit of work to perfect the look for his runway show, but once it was perfected, it was gold. Well, not so much gold, but vibrant blues and greens.

Now he is bringing those runway colors to a cosmetic counter near you. This month MAC is releasing his 16-piece collection that was developed specifically for his show. Something tells me this collection will do just as well (if not better) than the MAC Loves Barbie campaign. I know I will be waiting in line.

Why I love MAC make-up

Filed under: Cosmetics

I first starting using MAC cosmetics when I was 16. That year, I attended a nerd camp at prominent southern university wherein my roommate was a really prissy rich girl named Sarah from Charlotte, North Carolina. (Charlotte, for those of you who don't know is big banking territory; it has NASCAR as well, but Sarah was from the banking set.) During the three weeks we shared a room, Sarah managed to be belittle absolutely everything I owned, from my shoes to my hair to my taste in music to what I had named my calico cat when I was four.

The only thing about me she didn't completely gauche or cheap was my make-up -- a foundation compact from the MAC counter at the local mall.

When she saw the sleek black compact on my desk, she mumbled in her tinny voice, "Oh, MAC make-up is pretty good." Then and there, I decided that if MAC was good enough for that stuck-up twit from Charlotte, it was good enough for me.
