Friends, beauties, partners in crime —- let us take a beauty ‘time-out’ to talk makeup trend.
The city has hit its ceiling of triple digit temperatures, and so I think it is safe to consider warm-weather appropriate cosmetic attire. As we shed our jackets, so too do we shed the dark, matte looks favored during fall and winter. Considering the fact that summer has always been the time of the bronze, let us discuss how we can all channel our very own inner gilded goddesses, by way of product and technique.

American Idol winner, with a platinum-album voice Carrie Underwood has certainly proved that blondes can have more fun — both on and off stage. Her recent news, however, had nothing to do with her often loud, commanding and gilded vocal chords, but was more focused on her tying the knot in her Southern American element.

Her wedding, held on July 10th at Georgia’s Ritz-Carlton Reynolds Plantation resort, to her beau, the Canadian hockey player Mike Fisher, was a study in French elegance with …

Miley Cyrus has already explained that she “can’t be tamed,” but is she going too far to prove that she isn’t a little girl anymore?
At 17 years old, when many kids are still in high school, Cyrus is on the big screen, the small screen and on the radio. She has built an empire for herself and her alter ego Hanna Montana, the character she plays on the Disney Channel show of the same name. Cyrus literally grew up in front of our eyes from a young girl …

Zoya has played into the archetypal images of the bad girl/good girl with their fall collection of Wicked and Wonderful nail polishes. The Wicked collection, six micro-glitter polishes, and the Wonderful, six cremes, instantly conjured up images of Elphaba and Glinda in my beady little brain, but the folks at Zoya went another route, and named all the shades after the ladies of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Whether you go in for reality television or not, at least some of the polishes will earn a place in …

MAC Cosmetics’ In The Groove collection is an array of products for the eyes, cheeks and lips: these are described by MAC as modern with Boho charm, on trend with kaleidoscopic complimentary color combinations. And that translates to a multi-faceted assortment of products driven by innovation, a luscious season with a nod to the latest catwalk looks. For me, what makes this collection so unique and appealing is the emphasis on mineralized face products. All of which are lightweight in application, but have a rich velvety finish and adhere …

It happens almost every day. My roommates and I come home from a long day of schlepping around the city the unhappiest of sunburned campers. Mind you, we pickle ourselves in sunblock of SPF 30 every morning before leaving the house, and we only go outside as our jobs require. Obviously our current lotions failed miserably, so as we set off on a quest for the best new sunscreen, we thought we’d add a layer of fun by focusing on high SPF sunblocks that have an extra …

MAC Cosmetics, the premier brand of choice backstage at over 400 shows worldwide, teams up with the lovely Stacey Bendet, hipster, all-around fun girl and designer of Alice + Olivia to create the ultimate playful summer makeup collection. The wardrobe-enhancing cosmetics consist of three new shades of MAC Pigments, three Dazzelglass Cremes first-timers and a trio of spot-on-trend Nail Lacquers. On her collaboration with MAC cosmetics Bendet shares, “We wanted the makeup to be fun and playful, for me clothing and cosmetics should be whimsical, they should …

July 4th is one of my favorite holidays. It reminds me of all things American – our heritage, mom’s black cherry pie, BBQ’s and star spangled umbrellas. Feeling tan and healthy? Is white your perennial wardrobe for the summer? Well, let’s accent it with makeup themed for the “red, white and blue.” These products were chosen with the holiday in mind, but they’re great fun to wear all summer long.

First, try a blue or red nail color. Bright reds in the summer always look fresh and chic, …

Concealers are tiny, but powerful. These highly portable beauty tools can make all the difference in the world. Like a sculpted brow, a proper concealer is truly transformational. It can take your look from sick and tired to “rested and ready-to go.” It’s truly what I call a “911” trick of the trade. And tricksters they can be. Proper application is a must and takes practice. The desire to glob on concealer to hide dark circles or shadows can be tempting but smearing on …
