Spongebob Squarepaint

I love beauty products with a sense of humor. You can’t take makeup too seriously, or you will look like Liza Minnelli on Halloween. That’s why Rescue Beauty Lounge has made my wish list with its new line of nail polish named after the Spongebob Squarepants cartoon. The polish trio contains three muted colors called “Starfish Patrick”, “Bikini Bottom” and “Square Pants.” I like when childhood pop culture is used to develop grown-up products. Now all I want is a pair of Sesame Street platform shoes!

Thanks Nylon.

Trendspark: Brightness

A revival of the 80’s is upon us. The burgeoning of bright jeans and sneakers has turned into something bigger. Nail companies, Essie, O.P.I and Chanel have taken note and subsequently launched their own neon nail color lines. Women have been hitting the streets clad in colorful lip and eye color.  From the catwalk to the sidewalk, women are embracing ROYBGIV. 

Beauty Trends For Fall

NARS Fall compromises of two new duo eyeshadow (Isolde and Cordura), one new single eyeshadow (Fez), one blush (Dolce Vita), one lipgloss (Female Trouble), one nail polish (Rebel Yell) and two new lipsticks (Beautiful Liar and Senorita) it looks like the collection of soft browns and reds is going to be a popular one.

Get the Look: Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron has been quite the globetrotter these days, promoting Hancock in Moscow, Paris and London. And Dior Global Makeup Advisor Shane Paish has been traveling with her, dressing up her face with…Dior, of course. Shane used the same basic products on Charlize every night, with a twist to reflect the surroundings in the different cities.

Read on for the key products used to create all three:

• The basics: Dior L’Or de Vie skincare, DiorSkin Airflash Spray Foundation, and DiorShow Unlimited Mascara

• Moscow: Charlize’s bold red lips were created with Rouge Dior Lipstick in Red Premiere #752

• Paris: This smoldering bronze eye is courtesy of the 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Sunset Cafe #440

• London: For an edgy, chic eye look, Shane used Dior Crayon Eyeliner Waterproof in Trinidad Black #094

First Purfumed Nail Polish

The glory days of huffing noxious fumes—magic markers, paint thinner, fixatives—never included nail polish. Until now, thanks to Berlin’s Uslu Airlines, a quirky cosmetics company known for its DIY airbrushing contraption and who commissioned Bernhard Willhelm to develop nail polish colors (expect three more later this year). A collaboration with Colette, Uslu’s metallicized screen-blue shellack comes smelling like figgy FRIA, the boutique’s best-selling fragrance—which makes it the world’s first perfumed nail polish. Maybe now we won’t get raised eyebrows when we do a quick mani touch-up in public.

Longer Eyelashes From The Makers Of Botox

Allergen, the company who gave the world Botox, is creating a drug called Lumigan that makes eyelashes grow. It’s awaiting FDA-approval, as are we.

According to the FDA, it may cause the skin around the eye to darken, or the eyes could change color altogether. Not exactly the cosmetic wonders I’d like to experience. I’ll stick with mascara or lash extensions, but if the FDA approval goes through, expect to see people rush to their doctors in search of longer lashes. Will you be one of them?

BeautySpark: Green Eyes

Being green isn’t just a movement… it’s also a color statement. To be GREEN all over, here are some suggestions from POP Beauty, the color experts!

Start off with your Liner Cake, a color-dense powder palette containing five gorgeous eyeliner shades.
It creates smudgy, smoky eyes in an instant with this rich palette of lush shades including: Electric Blue, Silver Black, Velvet Plum, Emerald Green, and Gunmetal. Use the colors in the Liner Cake to line and define. Dip an eyeliner brush into the color, and start at the outer corner of the eyes, drawing with short strokes as close to the lash line as possible.

Next, grab your favorite Green Eye Cakes, Olive Eyes and Green Eyes to complete the look.
Apply colors solo or layer different colors for added depth and customized color. Use the darkest color as a liner or blend into crease to define the shape of your eyes and bring out your eye color in any light. Designed to make the color of your eyes POP.

Olive Eyes Eye Cake: A collection of glimmer & amp; shimmery golds, greens and bronzes with a bright yellow to make you top of the pops. Looks fab on most of us, but an absolute must have if you have green eyes.

Green Eyes Eye Cake: Alluring emerald green for defining, softer green and taupe for lid and crease and paler high lighters for accentuation.
