If you’re feeling like your makeup skills are up to par, try something crazy this Halloween. MAC did their annual sketches to help us all brainstorm..I suddenly think I’m going to be a comic book character for Halloween. Check out some steps in the video below:

“This girl doesn’t spend hours getting ready but she looks amazing, her style is all her own,” says Dan Caten. “Young Hollywood is about that, they don’t need to impress anyone, it’s cooler than being too studied. The same goes with the makeup, it isn’t about being perfect.” Um, yeah, NO.

Cult Member, Glamour Whore gives us her picks for the three shoe collections to covet this spring. Best of all, there are make up suggestions for each.

The “British MAC” is going stateside! Makeup company, Illamasqua is getting picked up by Sephora and will be sold in the U.S. stores by the end of the month! Currently, the brand is available on Sephora’s online forum, but we can’t wait until it hits shelves. With a ton of Illamasqua products flooding in, there are also a select few that can’t cross the border. A couple of the Illamasqua products have ingredients that are illegal in the US; guess you’ll have to make that trip to Britain.

Super colorful and fun, the new Mac collection gives us plenty to choose from. Check out the entire collection here.

With colors like Dry Martini (a perfect fatigue green) and Cool Reserve (a chalky, dirty gray-lavender) this collection will surely sell out as soon as it hits shelves Aug 27th.

Well indies, it has been awhile, but I am finally back and ready for action. Due to some technical issue that were taken care of by the wonderful people at Apple, I was out of comission for a couple days there. While the vacation was nice, I am clearly a slave to the fashion world, as I have been dying to get back to writing about the latest and greatest in men’s fashion. As always I’ll do my best to get you the best content from around the web, as well as some of my own personal stories that are always sure to ruffle a few feathers.

Ps. That is not what my computer looked like, it’s simply there for dramatic effect haha.

Absolutely amazing! I think these are the funniest/coolest things I have seen a good while. They are so provocative it’s great! And it is the perfect way for the everyday nerd to redeem himself after it takes him 15 minutes to get her bra off. Get yours now for a whopping $12 from the iPanties web page.

*Warning unlocking these panties can lead to all different types of (Steve) jobs! (haha I crack myself up!)

Diane Kruger covers the June 2009 issue of Lucky in silk Oscar de la Renta and a Chanel necklace.

Kruger shares with readers some of her favorite style go-tos — like MAC lipstick, flats, Boy by Band of Outsiders, shopping at A.P.C., and, of course, Chanel.

The new commercial for MAC’s collaboration with Hello Kitty starts off like Gwen Stefani’s “Watcha Waiting For” video and ends with a random scene that looks like a furry gang rape. So basically it’s pretty flipping cool. Enjoysies…

If you’re not familiar with this 28 year old whimsical yet highly feminine designer Ashleigh Verrier, you should be. She graduated from Parsons School of Designs three years ago, and Saks Fifth Avenue bought her entire collection, plus a limited production run.

Designer Ashleigh Verrier was one of the designers that brought out the pink lips on the runway for her Spring 2009 collection. Makeup Artist Gregory Alt really focused on the models lips by using bright pink lips and pearl eye shadow…Seedy Pearl from M.A.C. Cosmetics on the lids and a small amount of teal in the center of the lid. I like Verrier’s style and most of her collection and I also really like this look for spring…check it out.

I know a lot of you are feeling the recession this year, but we can’t let that affect us from buying a new eye shadow color or sexy new lip gloss. So this weekend, I went to the drugstores to give you all the 411 on what’s out there. I decided to go to the L’Oreal section to see what’s new and close to some of my favorite makeup lines; Nars, Stila, Smashbox and M.A.C.

What I ended up buying was products from the L’Oreal HIP line. The HIP line has high intensity pigments that are very similar to those of NARS and M.A.C. L’Oreal has 5 new metallic eye-shadows this fall and they are AMAZING and great for Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties. Their loose pigments are also a must and they are highly pigmented allowing for very rich with bold colors. Another must have item from the HIP line is the cream eyeliner, also comes in 5 colors, my favorites colors are black, midnight blue, and teal and they come with a small angle brush. I love that the cream eyeliner goes on smooth and easy, and can be smudged for a smoky look.

They also have two great lip products; the jelly balm and the lip gloss. The jelly balm kept my lips moist and non-sticky, giving me a sheer lip color to use by itself or on top your favorite lipstick. The best part was my hair did not get stuck to my lips. The hip gloss is better for the evening because it gives more color and I didn’t have to put on a lip pencil, a lipstick and lip gloss. I didn’t have to carry so many items with me, and both lip products have vanilla in them so they smell and taste great.

So, don’t like the stress of the recession effect you staying fabulous. Check out L’Oreal and any of the other brands like Cover Girl, Revlon and Maybelline. They will make great stocking stuffers for your girlfriends.

Bright eye shadow was always my thing as a teenager. Slowly, I’ve moved to the dark, smokey-gray look, but lately I’ve been nostalgic for that wide-eyed, disco superstar appearance. Proenza Schouler marched models down the fall 08 runway with a shocking electric blue hue surrounding their eyes. Frosty peacock shadow goes really well with lilac accents for a more ethereal look. But the method I have always loved, and Eve agrees with me, is to line the eye in black before smothering your lids with a thick layer of bright blue. It makes the eye pop and is more practical for the streets. Plus, it reduced your chances of looking too much like a martian. My favorite is M.A.C. eye shadow in Clarity, but I’m sure the many brands of Sephora can serve all of your baby blue needs.

MAC Cosmetics has teamed up with Sanrio Global Consumer Products to create a Hello Kitty color cosmetics collection. It will feature lipsticks, lip glosses, eye shadows, pigment, glitter, nail polish, and more in shades of pink, turquoise, lavender, and green.

The line will arrive on MAC’s Web site Feb. 10, in North American stores on Feb. 12 and into overseas stores in March.

“MAC has been mining pop culture since the brand was founded,” said John Demsey, group president of the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc. “This is a sexy and innocent fashion line, and a true MAC moment. In these times, everyone can use a little fun — and a little Kitty.”

“The partnership was a no-brainer,” said James Gager, senior vice president and creative director of MAC Worldwide….

Emanuel Ungaro, French designer known for his classy, natural and simple designs recently started a makeup collection with M.A.C. Wait a second, did I see that correctly? M.A.C, as in crazy flashy eye-makeup M.A.C? Who would have ever thought M.A.C would agree to sell pale, neutral colors of lipstick, gloss and blush? I would have expected a collaboration like this to be linked to Clinique, NARS or even Lancome. Maybe this is a sign that M.A.C is taking it down a notch, from the big and bold to the natural and simple.
