Best In Show: Fall 2011
From retro bombshell hair to metallic lids and lips, this season beautifully blends classic and modern…

Best Comeback: The Jewel-Tone Eye

The Look:  The dramatic smoky eyes at Dior were a nod to the roaring ’20s. “The look is rich and beautiful,” says Pat McGrath, creative design director, P&G Beauty, who used shadow, liner, and mega lashes to create a spectrum of looks, more real-world-applicable (and seductive) than in seasons past.

Seen At:  3.1 Phillip Lim, Dior, Pucci, Zac Posen

DIY:  Coat lids with a primer to prevent creasing. Next, using a black eyeliner pencil, “draw in around the eye, smudging it out with a brush to create smokiness,” McGrath says. Follow with a bright shadow on the lid.

Don’t you think it’s time for hairdressers to be recognized in Hollywood. We Need an Oscar for Hair, the most important, powerful and only accessories that you mostly and freely can express yourself with!!!  Don’t you agree?? then join me.

Hair can make or break the way a movie opens up; it can even give you the overall feeling of a character. As a hairdresser I have seen how hair makes such a difference in people’s lives. From the feeling of not belonging because you have curly hair in the 70s, to women relaxing their hair straight in the 50s. Ted Gibson creating a movement that hairdressers should get an Oscar for what they create on the Big Screen. Just imagine the Oscars with no hair. If in every movie there was NO HAIR, but only clothes, you wouldn’t get a feeling at all from films. Hair creates an emotional feeling and adds value to every movie that you or I have seen. For example, when you watch the Tree of Life, there isn’t any dialogue for the first 20 minutes. And if everyone in the movie such as Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain were bald, it simply wouldn’t be the same. He see it every week when he is on the show “What Not To Wear.” He start working with the contributor on their 4th day at the show. When He change their haircolor and haircut is when the transformation really begins. That’s when they discover their Potential Beauty. They become emotional, happy, invigorated, forthcoming, refreshed and confident. Hair can make you feel on top of the world, or even as if you’re the worst person ever. Its really simple: I never hear anyone ever say they have a bad skin day. But they do say “I’m having a bad hairday!” Why? Because HAIR IS EVERYTHING!! We Need an Oscar for Hair.

 

 

 

“Can you fix my split ends without cutting them?”

Well, It’s important not to wait too long between cuts—split ends can work their way up  But meantime, to hide ‘em, we love Nexxus ProMend Split End Binding Leave-in Crème. Lisa Lam, 25, says: “I was amazed that this made my split ends less noticeable after one use. I spent 10 minutes trying to find them with no luck…

Beauty Trends: Gorgeous Greetings From the Twin Cities

Dear StyleList,

In the Minne-Apple, the weather is as unpredictable as it dramatic. The same goes for the beauty routines, because girls in Minneapolis and St. Paul like to experiment with their hair and makeup. There are also practical considerations: In the North, you must be prepared for anything from makeup to protect you from subzero temperatures to the perfect hairstyle to fight hat hair.

Hair: Minnesotans love their locks. The Land of 10,000 Lakes probably has just about as many salons as bodies of water. Jen Hughes, a master stylist at Juut Salonspa in downtown Minneapolis and an Aveda educator, notes that locals are asking for shorter, almost pixie hairstyles as seen on celebrities like Cary Mulligan, Emma Watson and Michelle Williams. For longer hair, less texture and fewer layers have made way for more defined and solid ends like Alexa Chung’s current look. A popular hairstyle spotted on the streets is an interpretation of the 1970s Gibson Girl bun with wavy or curly hair loosely wound on the top of the head. For color, baliage or hair-painting has been big for adding dimension, which is generally more subtle than crazy highlights. While the state is best known for blondes, fiery red hues are becoming increasingly hot.

Nails: While the weather can sometimes be dreary, the polishes are not. Sparkling glitterand shimmery hues have been right at manicurist Rhonda Hansford’s fingertips this season. She’s especially a fan of Bring on the Bling and Tease-y Does It from the Burlesque Collection by OPI. Gel manicures ($50) have been really heating up with great color offerings from Shellac, Gelish, GELeration, Cacee and Gelac. The service has become more popular for pedicures too, because it fully dries in minutes and you can wear your boots home. “No need to trudge through the snowbanks in flip-flops,” says Rhonda. She recommends a moisturizing paraffin treatment to keep hands and cuticles fully moisturized.

Lips: Minneapolis-based editorial makeup artist Angelia Senevisai sees a lot of the natives going darker lip in any number of skin-flattering hues. She’s a fan of everything fromCoverGirl to MAC to get the job done, especially some of the liquid lipsticks. She recommends going for brighter shades of pink and red and avoiding dark browns. Whilematte is a popular look, you have to watch out for how it creases on lips in the colder temperatures.

Eyes: The overall makeup look is rather understated. “I think more women tend to wear a more natural makeup look,” says Angelia. That translates into a swipe of mascara, a dab of shimmering eyeshadow and going light on the eyeliner.

The Twin Cities might be covered in snow for half of the year, but the bright white stuff makes a lovely blank canvas for a striking makeup and hair look.

Love,

Fashion Week dispatch on Betsey Johnson

Betsey Johnson expands her collection for fall

If you’re looking for a designer who refuses to play by the rules, her name is Betsey Johnson. She’s been a downtown NYC staple for decades, and a favorite of girly girls, punks, and fashionistas alike. This season the designer announced that she would be straying from her usual collection and making a more sexy, upscale line AND a more affordable line to make her clothing more accessible to her large fanbase. They both debuted at fashion week, and we’ll show you some of each. This purple look is from the pricier Black Tag label, which Johnson says will “take my designs to another level of creativity and quality.” And sure she did espically with hair and make up. I love her idea on hair and makeup…

Hair

Peter Gray for Redken said Betsey had Uma Thurman’s character in “Pulp Fiction” in mind for the look, hence the wigs. In the ’60s, stylists often used a white or silver spray paint to create a shine line on hair—here they used a gold spray paint called Kraylon, and misted it over pieces of lace leaving an awesome imprint on the wig. How creative is that?!

Makeup

Charlotte Willer of Maybelline used Betsey Johnson’s signature makeup look (blue shadow, red lip) as inspiration, but gave it a 1920s spin. We think the result, in conjunction with the wigs, is Cleopatra-esque.
