British designer Gareth Pugh, who launched his collection of dark makeup for M.A.C earlier this month, is known just as much for his own makeup just as he is for his Gothic inspired designs. Pugh let the Guardian in on his own beauty routine:
“I have a pallid complexion, I look tired, and if I didn’t do anything with my hair, I would leave the house looking like Diana Ross. I need moisturiser, foundation, powder, a bit of eyeliner. And there’s a lot of prep work with a pair of GHDs and a hairdryer. I’m jealous of people who clearly don’t have to do anything in the morning.”

Though she has yet to be styled in a fairytale ensemble for an episode of Once Upon A Time, Jennifer Morrison delivered a very medieval-come-modern look on her own at this weekend’s The Muppets movie premiere. The braided style is undoubtedly inspired by Valentino’s Spring 2012 runway, though Morrison’s version is not nearly as complicated. It’s actually unfair for us to position them side-by-side, because it’s hard for anyone, actress or not, to trump the perfect ethereal beauty of the Valentino braid. Read more »

To be fair, loose curls are nothing new, but there’s something so simple about the red carpet hair of both Selena Gomez and Amanda Seyfried. Gomez, at the Fulfillment Fund Stars Gala in Beverly Hills, can sometimes overdo it with extensions and pageant-worthy curls, but here she’s achieved a more natural, broken-up wave. Her stylist used a 1-inch Enzo Milano clipless curling iron, wrapping big sections of the hair horizontally. Seyfriend’s style (done for the premiere of In Time in London) is slightly more polished, but still avoids that “fresh off the curling iron” look—the rest of her hair is sleek, leaving the focus on a few key ringlets around her face.

Halloween might be over, but there’s still good reason to do something special with your beauty routine this morning: November 2 is Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead—the Mexican holiday that celebrates the departed. Bright flowers, sugar skulls, and colourful costumed skeletons are all iconic symbols of this holiday, and are gaining traction across mainstream culture. Both Elettra Wiedemann and Debra Messing showed up at the Hulaween Benefit Gala this weekend dressed like a skeleton à la Day of the Dead. Of course, not every office will appreciate a full painted-skull get up on your face, so here’s a few subtle ways to adjust your look.

The modern eco-savvy girl differs from the granola set when it comes to her beauty wares: it’s got to be vanity table-display worthy. At Toronto’s Pretty Beauty & Books (587 Markham Street, 905 580-0285, prettybeautyandbooks.com), which just had its grand opening last Saturday, pretty packaging is a non-negotiable; therefore, something you won’t find is “soap wrapped in twine” says owner—and former FASHION beauty intern—Andrea Victory. She stocks her shelves with gorgeous, synthetic-free lines such as editorial makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift’s RMS Beauty, water-based nail polish Scotch Naturals (“rated safest on the market”) and Tallulah Jane fragrances, made using old world, pre-lab methods such as distillation and enfleurage.

From the runways to our face palettes, this spring brought on a kaleidoscope of colours and innovative spins. Given the spunky nature of this season’s beauty trends, we decided to have a bit of fun with some of our favourite products by giving them a bit of an arty spin courtesy of our boy Lewis Mirrett, who painted these beautiful sketches atop his stunning black and white portraits.
