    The Coveted Takes A Peek At Sephora's Window Theatrics

    I didn't partake in any Fashion's Night Out activities-- too much temptation to spend my life savings. But this Sephora event in New York looks like it was awesome. Temptu, famous for their airbrush makeup, created living art at the Sephora on 5th Avenue, recreating work they've done for cinema and fashion. They crafted a variety of looks, like those from an Italian Vogue spread, Robert DeNiro's character in Cape Fear (if only DeNiro had looked so yummy), and the movie The Stepford Wives. I'm not quite sure where I would wear numbers all over my face, but I totally would if I could find the right occasion! They really drew a crowd as they airbrushed models in the storefront windows for eight hours. They also lured tons of customers looking to get airbrushed and photographed for a mock fashion mag cover. Now that's a good time! Check out The Coveted for the latest happenings in the fashion and beauty world!

    The Coveted Gives Us The Inside Scoop On The Dior Beauty Fall ...

    The new Dior Beauty Jazz Club Collection for fall is filled with sultry smoky greys, purples, and light pinks inspired by the jazz scene and the daring femme fatales of the twenties and thirties. I stopped by Saks San Francisco to get a makeup lesson with Dior National Makeup Artist Karen Hummel. She shared lots of insider tips and techniques that I've been incorporating into my makeup routine. I love how she played up my eyes with the greys in the Smoky Jazz Club compact ($65) and I was blown away by how long and full my lashes looked when she layered two coats of the new Diorshow Iconic Mascara ($27). It almost looked like I was wearing false lashes. I also fell head over heels for the new award-winning Diorskin Nude Fresh Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10 ($45) and Diorskin Nude Fresh Glow Powder SPF 10 ($45). They do a wonderful job perfecting the complexion and feel so refreshing and cooling (even the powder). Click over to The Coveted for an in-depth review of the products and a helpful how-to video!

    Fiercely '80s Eye Makeup Straight Off The Marc Jacobs Runway!

    image
    Pauline Montupet on Jul 30, 2009 2:22 PM PDT
    It was hard to ignore the '80s makeup that dominated the runways for Fall. Marc Jacobs sent his girls down the runway with a fierce-looking club kid eye makeup look and Versace and Zac Posen both featured "Debbie Harry meets Jerry Hall"-inspired makeup. Marc Jacobs wanted the eyes to take center stage -- so much so that he asked makeup artist Francois Nars to create 65 different makeup looks on the 65 models! What makes this eye makeup look different than just a normal smokey or dark eye? Unlike a heavy-lined eye, these '80s-inspired looks take it a step further, with the shadow up to the crease and often all the way up to the eyebrow, creating a large oval around the eye. To cop the look yourself, accentuate your usual blacks and browns with cobalt blues, deep greens, bright purples, reds, fuchsias, and even some glitter (not too much -- we're not going for Boy George here). An easy way to get a more street-appropriate version of the look is to shade the eye all over with a sheer eyeshadow of peach, gold, or soft blue. Lightly rim the entire eye with a black eyeliner (no need to be perfect since you will be covering and blending with shadow), then use a darker highly-pigmented shade like an espresso or navy on the lower lid and blend towards the crease and outer corner. Check out the slideshow for some great products to get the look, and click "See Video" to watch Marc Jacobs' makeup master Francois create the looks for the Fall '09 show.
