SPRING COLOR #2? Erin Axtell

Another take on Spring color? the opaque texture and matte intensity makes this cooler than the usual pastel shade of mint. ?This is like if mint was really into rock & roll, smoked cigarettes and dated Kate Moss.

THE CAT EYE? Bruna Tenorio

I love a good cat eye! It’s a classic look that feels modern and there is a flattering shape for almost every eye. This simple line can be tough, sexy, cool, innocent, playful, gamine, mysterious and all those other adjectives that we yearn for. ?The secret is to find the shape that resonates with your… Read more »

WAR PAINT… JP (Jennifer Pugh)

“Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion. ” ?- Jean-Luc Godard PRODUCTS // MAC ChromaCake in White

GENDER IS BORING? Heather Cassils

Sometimes the only difference between a man and a woman is a bit of lipstick and some false eyelashes. * Cassils is an amazing visual artist… click here to visit the website.

(UN) NATURAL BEAUTY? Soo Joo

Meet Soo Joo. You’ll be seeing her again on this blog? I love blond Asian girls, in particular the kind that risk their long shining black hair to go aggressively platinum. ?It requires a certain je ne sais quoi or in plain English, balls. * Finishing touches… bleached brows and glossy black nails. PRODUCTS //… Read more »

MONSIEUR GALLIANO? Rosie O’laskey

I enjoy Raf Simons’ aesthetic, his minimalist shapes and industrial influences. ?He makes the kind of modern clothes I want to live in. ?But that being said, I am going to miss the hell out of Galliano at Dior. ?While I am hardly the woman for a multicolored, feathered, lace overlay, corseted, slashed flounces with… Read more »

TOM FORD IN ORANGE… Zuzanna Krzatala

Orange gets a bad rap and it always seems to be upstaged by its more popular sister, pink. ?But the thing about orange is that it looks good on almost any skin tone. ?It’s stunning on blonds, edgy on olive skinned brunettes, stand-out bright on black girls, fun on a pale red head, etc. ?Orange… Read more »

LASH ME UP… Jodie Smith

I like black girls. ?That may be a politically incorrect way to put it but I do. ?And Jodie reminds me of Grace Jones, one of my all time beauty favorites! ?Her deep toned flawless skin is perfect for a variety of looks – everything from natural to extreme editorial – and it shows off… Read more »

CHANEL SPRING 2012… Amanda de Cadenet

Amanda has always been gorgeous, and frankly it seems a bit unfair since she doesn’t have to do much of anything to make that happen. ?I’ve seen her first thing in the morning, after feeding her kids, in workout clothes, hair in a messy ponytail, and she is just as lovely then. ? More importantly,… Read more »

MEN IN LIPSTICK… John Ruggiero

My dear friend John has never worn make-up or bleached his eyebrows. ?In fact, he hasn’t shaved his beard in almost a decade? until this day… during which I talked / begged / forced / blackmailed him into doing all three. ?This is the result. ?Does he look like a woman? No. ?John just looks… Read more »
