At Miu Miu’s Spring 2012 show, the models’ faces were left mostly bare, save for a brazen swipe of red across each eye. Bright and severe, the look was a striking accompaniment to the collection’s fairly neutral palette. If you’re bold enough to try it, red is fabulous! So rather than tone down the colour to something more muted, I decided to use a bright, primary red, but soften it by adding both deeper and lighter colours around the edges. Read more »

Aside from the excitement of the movie itself, obviously the best thing from The Hunger Games are the crazy manicures that Effie Trinket wears throughout. Unfortunately, only of a few are available to view close up (come on, Lions Gate Films, give fans a full gallery of nail art screen grabs!) but to our delight, one of the more intricate designs was shared by Elizabeth Banks—who of course, played the role of Effie. These Hunger Games nails include the soon-to-be-everywhere trend of caviar manicures—that is, manis with tiny beads that add playful texture—and thus, inspiration for this week’s Nail Corner was born!

Marilyn Monroe, Turquoise by Andy Warhol
This just in: Nars will reportedly launch a cosmetics collection inspired by the artwork of Andy Warhol. While very little news is available at this time, we do have word that the limited edition collection will be colour-focused and developed by François Nars in partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation. Come on, “Campbell’s soup can red” lipstick and “Marilyn Monroe turquoise” eyeshadow! Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until October for the collection to hit counters, but if you’re in need of a Warhol fix now, you’ll be pleased (or likely, horrified) to know he has a cameo in Men In Black 3. (And of course, we have the clip below.) Read more »

Well, our vote for the biggest upset at this year’s Oscars has to be the makeup. From Michelle Williams’ usual routine of a glossed lip and lightly lined eye to Cameron Diaz’s typical pink lipstick, it seemed like almost all the top stars were playing it safe on the red carpet. Neutral shades and sheer nail polish abound! That being said, amongst all the usual suspects it’s still possible to find inspiration—like Rooney Mara’s perfect brows, Angelina Jolie’s flawless red lip, and Emma Stone’s all-over pink shimmer. We’ve rounded up five of our favourite beauty outliers from the red carpet and have behind-the-scenes tips from the makeup artists who created each look.
See the best in red carpet beauty from Rooney, Angelina, J.Lo, Shailene, and Emma! »
