Fair ladies, embrace your Nordic tendencies that render you positively innocent when the makeup goes away. Use a pale pink that ebbs nude and a lengthening mascara. To get the Dolce & Gabbana look, mix a touch of their two

Purity Pink

What prevailed throughout all of Fashion Week culminated on the crystal cased Chanel runway with embroidered brows by the famed atelier de broderie, Lesage. If you don't have overgrown eyebrows, or just have fair hair, try like Pat McGrath did at Alexander Wang to give a boyish straight shape by brushing on dark eye shadow. You could also try an eyebrow palette with angled brushes. The

Raised Brows

Cold and angular eyes stared runways down to the chill of midnight.

Cool Night Eyes

Wing tips take flight again in both multiple lines like at Altuzarra, and with an electric blue shock like at Anna Sui. To get Pat McGrath's look for Anna Sui, you're going to use a liquid eyeliner and flick it up at the end. Draw the outline and fill it in using

Wingin' It

Like in Rick Owen's show "Offset the Scary", the brightest red will make a look iconic. Try a look-at-me lip of your own:

Bursting Red Lips

Burning in the fiery shadows of your lids is an orange or red taking up the whole space. You need to span big or else it runs the risk of looking like you've been crying. Not chic. And keep the rest of the face clean, obviously. Go big or go home in tears. Peter Phillips used several variations of orange at Dries Van Noten. From Make Up For Ever, he used no. 66, a mustard and no. 78, a rusty mandarin. Though those are both discontinued, you can try his third shadow,

Fiery Shadows

This look says power bitch in the sweetest way possible. How to get it: Spray the brush with hairspray and brush it back. DVF's hair stylist Orlando Pia used

Deep Sleek Side

Adding a dab of white to your cornea brightens the whole eye and makes them look bigger. Try some Sex to get the look. It's hot.

White Inner Eye

Hot mess dream trend! This look encourages us to fall asleep with our makeup on, roll outta bed and rock the refined raccoon eye. Marc Jacobs approves twice.

Smudged Down

Blackberries haven't gotten this much attention since iPhones hit Verizon. Unfortunately for the smartphone-makers, we're talking color. Perhaps it's the Rooney Mara effect, but oxblood-burgundy lips were everywhere. On the Gucci runway, Pat McGrath used

Vampy Lips

A mini version of Clarisonic's famous deep pore cleansing brush, you can take the Mia with you on all life's adventures. Clinically proven to remove six times more makeup and twice as much dirt and oil then your hands alone, this is perfect for the gal who can't get enough of the spa.

Her skin will glow like never before when using these luxurious skincare products. This 14-day travel set is an absolute necessity for the jetsetter who refuses to sacrifice her beauty routine.

Different from every other skincare brand we know, Tata Harper manufactures her 100% natural and non-toxic products on a 1,200 acre farm in Vermont. Formulated to instantly moisturize, these essentials will keep skin hydrated all winter long.

Described as "holy water" by many religious SK-II users, this special limited edition bottle features a gold cap, Rochas lace detailing and a box signed by Cate Blanchett. And as always, it can improve the five dimensions of aging skin when used in a daily skincare regimen.

Good oils fight bad oils, something iconic makeup artist Shu Uemura discovered in the 60s. This shampoo helps draw out impurities on the scalp while cleansing without stripping hair of its natural fibers.

Give her the gift of beautiful, shiny, healthy hair. Damaged ends instantly absorb this formula, infused with Inchi Oil which is rich in omega-3. And it protects against heat styling for the gal who loves her curling iron.

My sister, who has very beautiful but particularly fine hair, swears by this heat styling tool. For the first time in her life, her curls stay perfectly bouncy from morning to night. Ideal for your friend who's bored with her stick straight mane.

For the girl who has piles upon piles of palettes, this is the only one she'll actually need. With 56 Photo Op Eye Shadows, four Brow Tech Powders, one Brow Tech Wax, eight cream eyeliners, two blushes, three Soft Lights & four lip glosses, she'll never get bored with her makeup routine.

Perfect for the diva who is all about her eyes. This clever set comes with a black mascara, crayon intense eyeliner in stromboli and a gold, branded eyelash curler. It's all a girl needs.

Need a tan for one night but not a fan of commitment? Your gal pal won't be afraid to use this beautiful bronzer - not only does it wash off with one shower, the formula dries instantly and will not stain clothing.

Tomboy Girlfriend

Neil Moodie engineered the “tough pony” for the BCBG Max Azria show here in NY, but it was also seen at Rochas and Calvin Klein. This self-wrapped pony is easy to do yourself.

There was so much going on with the hair at Rick Owens, it's difficult to pick a starting point. Slicked back into a perfect bun, elegance was toyed-with when the very front section of hair was left out of the updo. Twisted into a pompadour-esque structure and swept back to resemble one being caught in a windstorm, the 'do was worthy to pass through his "gateway to heaven."

The larger-than-life French twist beehives aren't defying gravity as much as your think. Ponytails were "teased to death" by hairstylist Eugene Souleiman and lacquered back with copious amounts of hairspray. Reminiscent of Tim Burton's film "Mars Attacks," the updo brings eerie alien skulls to mind.

The backstage beauty at Dries Van Noten wasn't trying to make a statement but rather create a uniform neutrality that would let the clothes shine. Hairstylist Paul Hanlon added extensions to the models' natural hair, created deep side parts and secured everything into a handsome low ponytail with a piece of hair wrapped around the elastic. The outcome was simple and lovely in its minimalism.

You can take the girl out of Balmain, but you can't take Balmain out of the girl. Hairstylist Sam McKnight fully understood this conviction while working with locks backstage, keeping things natural and sexy. A smoothed-back ponytail sat slightly higher on the crown than the label's fall version, making it vaguely more sophisticated too.

Izabel Goulart, a Brazilian model whom Carine discovered at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, turns it in a Mugler top.

For a cut-out zig, zag into this ribboned and mesh-topped tunic from Topshop for $66.

For the zag on a long sleeve shirt, check out what Karl Lagerfeld did for Macy’s for $99. Pair it with Tom Ford sunglasses for a killer downtown look.

In the book’s introduction, Sally Singer, editor of T Magazine, is quick to point out that this is not your typical behind the curtains tome. That’s owed primarily to the fact that Julien Claessens is not a fashion photographer. In fact he admits that he doesn’t really understand fashion, but he understands his friend Olivier’s work.

So it’s no surprise that his photos aren’t perfectly-posed, editorial-ready snapshots, but abstract portraits that offer a glimpse into a world of extremes: extreme beauty, extreme bodies and an almost otherworldly charm. The star of these portraits, however, are still Theyskens minutely-crafted work.

Like malleable sculptures, Theyskens clothes wrap and drape themselves over the skeletal  frames of Lily Donaldson, Hilary Rhoda, Gemma Ward, Olga Sherer, Lara Stone, Tanya Dziahileva, Catherine McNeil and Sasha Pivovarova, lending a strength, elegance and sophistication otherwise at odds with their prepubescent fragility.

The Other Side of the Picture chronicles Theyskens career chronologically, ending before he began his newest phase at Theory, but Nina Ricci’s Fall/Winter ’09 collection is a fitting denouement, both for the book and for Theyskens time at the brand. That particular collection is the peak of Theyskens craft and a comforting reminder that talent like his shall and will not be wasted. Also, I’m still not over these tranny heels:

Julien Claessens, without understanding fashion, is able to completely grasp the work of Olivier Theyskens. As Claessens says about his friend’s work, “There’s something here that is part of my universe.” His clothes speak, live and breathe through Claessens’ photos because Theyskens intended them to speak, live and breathe on the women he dresses. Claessens and Theyskens simply speak the same language.

What owning this book says about you: You’re a serious-minded fashionista who admires Olivier’s dark aesthetic and/or his dark hotness.

What your dinner guests will say upon seeing this book on your coffee table: “Oh, wow, someone’s pretentious. And fabulous.”

How this book will make your fashion brain grow: Though you’re not likely to gain much in the way of knowledge from The Other Side of the Picture, you’re heart will swell at its beauty.

If you like this, you’ll love: Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. The book to the Met exhibit is on sale — having had a quick look at it this morning we can definitely say it is worth the 30 bucks (plus free shipping, y’all!)

Ugly or not?

Victoria’s Secret’s model of the moment is Jessica Hart, who is “all over” the latest catalogue. The Post thinks this is because fellow VS models Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, and Adriana Lima are all pregnant. [Page Six/NYP]

Ex-Vogue intern and hockey player Sean Avery and Hilary Rhoda are reportedly an item. The model was previously linked to New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. [Page Six/NYP]

The word on the street is that Olivier Theyskens is on his way out of Nina Ricci. Apparently, his Spring 2009 failed to impress buyers.

So sad considering that Anna Wintour herself gave Theysken’s her personal vote of confidence by giving the designer a CFDA award back in 2002 when he was heading design at Rochas at the tender age of 25.

Honestly though, isn’t it about time this designer got his own line?
