So here she is, sporting one of her trademark weird looks, just like our friend Ellington said, for in Gaga’s world, every day is Halloween. What, you can’t see what MAC makeup she is wearing? Well, that’s really not her problem, is it? Just pour a sack of flour
on you and you’ve got it all covered. Gaga-covered! (photos via)

I’m looking on Halloween from a really bright and funny perspective. I like the costumes, the joy of impersonating a famous character. And this Lichtenstein-ish makeup has the evocative power and the aesthetic conviction to make this Halloween a joyfully artsy one! I just finished a Batman costume last night (my elder son currently experiences the Batman-ia) so I have some spare time to figure out just how this makeup is done! What do you want to be, this Halloween? (via 1, 2)

Like in any brands with any self-respect, Nars only has celeb-friends. Just think Marc Jacobs, Olivier Theyskens, Daphne Guiness, Natasha Poly, just the name a few. (the story continues right after the jump with more images!)

Though Nars isn’t quite new in the books industry, this time they try something different from their previous project X-Rays. If X-Rays was all about portraits, trying to capture one’s vibe with just one picture, 15×15 is about inspiration. About celeb inspiration.

Once again, we find ourselves at the ecstatic point of our existence when we’re amazed by how inspired celeb-people are! I for one, I really am amazed! Don’t ask yourself what this and that celeb makes to be famous, instead ask yourself what else this and that celeb can do to be even more famous!

Getting back to the Nars business: the photos included in the book are the actual artwork . Eye-candies for the most part, the images show us reputed designers, models, artists in their own way and a moment/picture that brought them such high inspiration, they went on associating it with a makeup product! Aesthetically pleasing and very much inspiring, the upcoming Nars photo-project is definitely worth taking at least an art-hungry look at! (WWD via Refinery29)

Without thinking about the wearability / practicability, these Super Mario 3 nails inspire my gaming self (I was never too good at gaming, I have the reflexes of a drunk mosquito) to brain spawn various computer games manicures! If you’re no Mario fan, I dare you to paint your left hand nails into Predators and your right hand nails into Aliens? Take that, AvP! (photo via)

So is makeup. Because if you take makeup away from the famous for being famous, there’s not much left. The crowd loves your vain image just the way it is: colored and pretty. Take away the color, the face fades away instantly. (the story continues right after the jump)

I was surprised to see Jessica Simpson without makeup. Now I live that feeling all over again when looking at Kim Kardashian without makeup (that kinda puts Eva Longoria’s makeupless face into some strange angelic light). Contemporary word of wisdom: paint makes famous! (photos via 1, 2)

No, she’s not showing off her dress but her eyes makeup. With a little help from the digital retouching team. Because she’s worth it. Again! Seeing this makes me think I’ll give up makeup completely and become a pro in Photoshopping. That way, I can retouch my own photos any way I please. Isn’t Photoshop a wonderful beauty tool?

But sometimes you have to ask that question, you know, the one that keeps popping in everyone’s mind: how do you live with that? How do you wear those nails on a regular daily basis? (the story continues with more images right after the jump!)

I’m a nail perfectionist and besides having some tiny flowers appliqué, I haven’t tried something else (piercings, or any form of nail art). My curiosity and my accurateness go as far as doing a close to perfect white French tip. What was the most artistic nail art you’ve ever had? (photos via)

With names and colors evoking Russian specificities, Guerlain’s new collection’s star product seems to be the Volga Princess. It’s an eyes and lips palette with light pink and brown in an embroided silver metallic cassette. (the story continues right after the jump!)

It’s all inspired by the fabrics worn by Russian princesses as well as the rich tapestries surrounding them. You know I’m not into makeup, but I appreciate the aesthetics of this collection. It’s a pleasure to see such vivid colors for winter, isn’t it? (even if Natalia Vodianova doesn’t remind me of a Russian Princess in this ad) (via)
