MAC Cosmetics' latest collection (did you know the brand boasts FIFTY new collections a year?), MAC To The Beach is chock full of cosmetic gems and features whimsical seahorse-adorned packaging. Who doesn't love a SEAHORSE? First of all, they're magical--they look just like horses and yet are sea creatures (duh, but seriously--think about it) AND the males carry the young. So progressive, n'est-ce pas?
Multi-media, counter-culture, the ultimate cool. In The Studio is the epitome of the look updated, featuring new Studio Fix Lash in Black Fix or Studio Brown, with the latest thermoplastic synth-rubber moulded brush, designed to kill clump as it separates lashes. The perfect complement? Studio Fix Powder, a powder and foundation-in-one, combining complete coverage with ease of application, goes on dry with a matte, velvety texture. Silica keeps the matte flat and absorbs oil, and talc smoothes it out. Go for the bold stroke, as they do In The Studio. Studio Fix Lash

Beauty at Twinkle was a sci-fi mix of innocent eyes and edgy lips. Bold, matte traffic-sign orange lips were created with MAC Orange Lip Mix applied with a brush and Silver Dusk dabbed onto the cupid's bow. Lead makeup artist John Paolo swept loose, gold shimmery shadow all over lids with individual faux lashes placed in the center of the lashes. The inner rims were lined gold pencil, which lent a wet glow to the eye. Brows and skin was left matte--no blush necessary.

Lead stylist John Ruidant for REDKEN created voluminous waves with a clean center part with volume not at the crown, but throughout the length. "The look is inspired by rock and roll," Ruidant said.

After blowing in Redken Fabricate, Ruidant curled the hair by holding the curling iron horizontally and preceeded in two-inch sections all across the head. He then clipped the curls to cool in a temporary Martha Washingtonesque 'do. Lastly, he brushed out the curls with a Mason Pearson brush. The rainy weather turned out to be an asset for Ruidant: "We want a bit of frizz, so that it looks as if she's been to a rock concert."

Gals, I've been holding this in for SO long and I'm glad I can finally announce the NEWS. So, a couple months ago, I headed over to Jin Soon's salon in the West Village to meet the fabulous Jin (She is such a sweetheart. Never in a MILL would you assume she's the sought-after nail guru that she is!) and get a sneak peek of the new Nail Trend F/W collection. The colors are TO DIE. My favorite is Cool Reserve, the PERFECT grayed-off violet.
