    WhatsWear Trend Alert: Simple Makeup

    Ida Hsiang on Nov 3, 2009 5:30 AM PST
    Today, it is all about going au natural. Gone are the days of heavily done eyes and foundation. Makeup is no longer meant to cover skin, but complement it. Less is more and subtle is the way to go for spring/summer 2010. Instead of dramatic eyes, opt for just mascara and a highlighter in the corners of your eyes for a light and refreshed look. Swap out your foundation for a light bronzer. Heavy makeup will never stand up to the heat. A notable example of trend could be seen on the Miu Miu runway at Paris Fashion week. Models were done up in natural makeup, leaving little to the imagination. They even skipped the bronzer!

    It's always hard to dump someone. There are hurt feelings and harsh words, maybe a few tears, definitely some cocktails and desserts smothered in chocolate, caramel, and Oreo cookie crumbles. Well, get out the Edy's, Sephora. Everyone knows that Sephora and I (and Sephora.com) have been going steady since I was 15, but we're currently on the rocks. There's a new makeup store in my life, and its name is BeautyTicket.com. Yup, although Sephora was the love of my life, I just can't control my feelings for this much better beauty stop that recently rocked my world. But it wasn't just a one night fling; this is serious. I'm falling in love. This amazing website carries super great brands like YSL, Smashbox, Stila, Tarte, Urban Decay, and Pop, for up to 85% off. Wow. I'll give you a minute to think about how freakin' amazing that is. I'm talkin' Smashbox wooden 4-shadow/blush palette, originally $45, now $19.00.

    Not So Baby Blue Make-Up Choices!

    The fall transition is bittersweet. One the one hand, it's time to take advantage of new fall clothing and makeup trends, and on the other hand, you're giving up sweet, glorious summer! Transitional clothing is difficult -- but the make up sure can be fun! I recommend going for some more electric blue in your eye and nail palette! The brights will give you just a little bit of lift, and the blow will definitely be softened when you switch to navy nail shades for true fall. I love the MakeUp Forever Glitters in Metallic Blue for a vampy, going out on the town look. Mixing the gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent Tresor d'Afrique palette for eyes will definitely soften the electric blue for daytime, but you'll still have a kick. For the nails, you definitely can't go wrong with OPI shades, especially Blue My Mind. Check out my slideshow for more ways to electrify your transition makeup!

    Lipsmacker Exfoliants and More Drugstore Bargain Beauty Bump-Ups!

    To look pretty on less cash, you could yoink your roommate's fancy conditioner and hope she doesn't notice. Or you could try out these drugstore and designer beauty bait-and-switches. Either way, you'll look so good only your stylist will know for sure what you did!


    1. Color formulas are generally the same among mascara products, so no need to spring for a department store version. Black is black at $7 or $20. But it is worth investing in a clean mascara wand or comb that you can use to separate your lashes before the cheaper one dries.


    2. Instead of giving yourself a spritz of pricey perfume, get a more subtle version of the scent all over your body. Spend less for the fragrance's body lotion or cream and blend with unscented generic-brand lotion.

    French Vogue's Fashion Primer

    The Frisky on Jul 24, 2009 12:22 PM PDT
    If you feel as though you need a Fashion 101 crash course, pick up the August issue of Vogue Paris along with a French dictionary. The magazine devotes 65 pages-- produced with the help of two photographers, three stylists, a handful of models, and a bevy of hairstylists and makeup artists-- to "ADN de la Mode" ("Fashion DNA"), an explanation of what the big-time fashion designers are known for, from Paul Smith's British-with-a-twist style to Calvin Klein's easy attitude. And, not only does this story give the lay of the fashion land, but it also brings to light why Daria Werbowy is on the mag's cover decked out in head-to-toe Burberry. The cover photo comes from the same photo shoot. If you want to go to the head of the class (or get a front row seat at Fashion Week), might we suggest making flashcards out of these glossy pages?
