Fashion Designer and Makeup Collaborations

Beauties, have you noticed that more and more fashion designers are trying their hands at beauty? Collaborations are great because they let you get a feel for a designer’s aesthetic without having to shell out big bucks for a piece of their clothing.

Charlotte Ronson for Sephora

Charlotte Ronson (sister to DJ Sammy, who dated Lindsay Lohan) teamed up with Sephora to create a collection that’s easygoing and simple to wear. It's based on the colors and types of makeup that Charlotte herself likes to wear, and she used it backstage at her spring/summer 2012 show during New York Fashion Week. The collection is available in stores now.

Marc Jacobs and MINX

Who doesn't love Marc Jacobs? The designer took his collection to the next level by collaborating with MINX on a set of stick-on nail polishes that feature prints from his new spring/summer 2012 collection. The nails are called One Night Only and are designed to last just that! Think of it as a passionate but fleeting love affair. The nails are available now.

Gareth Pugh and MAC

Gareth Pugh is the next in a long line of designers to collaborate with beauty powerhouse MAC. Although no details have been released about what the line will contain, MAC says the collection will include multicolor products and accessories in special packaging. We may have to wait (eagerly!) until the line launches in November to see what the designer will come up with.

Alexander Wang and Sally Hansen

Alexander Wang enlisted the help of Sally Hansen for the first time at his spring/summer 2012 show to create three new nail colors! Although the runway models wore Parchment, a creamy white translucent shade, Wang also created two dark colors, Oxblood and Petrol. The shades will be available next spring.

Fall Vanity Inspiration

Even though it may not feel like fall yet for most, the seasons are a-changing! These vanity designs all have natural elements scattered throughout, and leaves, branches, and floral motifs add dramatic touches that move away from the stark freshness of summer. Get inspired and make over your space for autumn!

Bare Necessities

Sometimes an uncluttered counter is the perfect space to show off a beautiful stash. Neatly arrange your bottles and fragrances and add a couple of personal touches: A beautiful mirror and simple flower arrangement give the counter some personality with minimal effort. Flower buds add visual interest without overpowering the space.

Garden Delights

Step into a world of oddities. Visual curiosities captivate your senses, so infuse your space with natural elements such as dried flowers, motifs of woodland creatures, and collected branches. This decidedly Victorian-inspired aesthetic is for the Beauty who loves her odds and ends.

Modern Baroque

Beauties who crave a more modern approach to vanity design can reinvent classic vanity style with different architectural elements in their home. This particular vanity space pays tribute to the traditional flourished leaf—both in the antique lacquered mirror and the modernized ceramic tile backsplash. Keep the colors bold and minimal for maximum visual impact.

MAC's New False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara

Love the look of false lashes but don't like applying them? MAC's newest mascara promises to deliver the effect without the hassle. With a big, traditional wand the formula has a new mousse-like texture and coats lashes in an inky carbon-black pigment. Long-wearing polymers coat the lashes so they are voluminous and soft, not brittle.

Street Style Beauty

Not only does Fashion Week give you a glimpse of what to wear next season, it also showcases the city's best-dressed fashionistas. We loved checking out their beauty looks as much as their outfits!

Matching your nail polish to your accessories is a huge trend this season, as are navy manicures! We love the cloudy finish on these fingertips.

With so many red lips to see, we didn't even want to blink! Lipstick looks to be everyone's favorite beauty product this month.

Is yellow still in? Yes, yes, and yes! Choose a bright, poppy nail color and wear it with lots of clashing prints for an edgy twist.

Matching your nails to your shoes? Yes, you can do it! These gorgeous coral toes look stunning with a pair of polka-dot heels.
