We’ve come to learn that our skin is a jerk. It loves gifting us with a bright red beamer before important events, it gets a kick out of telling the world we partied too hard with dark rings around our eyes, and it loves stumping us with random red splotches, dry patches, and hives we […]

Essences are even known as “immortal water” in some parts of Asia because of their anti-aging benefits. While we can’t attest to the immortality […]

The bold red lip at Rochas Spring 2013 has quite the enchanting quality to it. The shade? A deeply pigmented rosebud red. The texture? Perfectly matte. Paired with a fresh-faced no makeup look it’s the sort of colour that shows just how much influence a well-done lip can have. (Anyone who’s ever thrown on her favourite lipstick in place of doing any other makeup knows this trick well.) Makeup artist Lucia Pieroni used two different Clé de Peau lipsticks to create the velvety look for Rochas, applying “R1,” a blue toned brick-red shade first and then layering and “R2,” a cherry-red colour, on top. However, the almost vibrating lip colour has another trick: hot pink blush. According to Into The Gloss, Lucia Pieroni finished the look by brushing on pink pigment. She started at the centre of the lip, blending outward with a Q-tip, which both enhanced the matte texture and added depth to the colour. It’s a different take on the two-toned lip that’s been popular the last few seasons—less colour blocking, more multi-dimensional. Lucia Pieroni called the final colour “beetroot berry” and we’re just going to go ahead and rename it our favourite lip colour for Spring 2013.

If you’ve ever coveted the complexion of Clé de Peau Beauté spokesperson Amanda Seyfried and happen to have a nice stack of cash laying around, take note: The Japan-based luxury beauty line will produce three limited-edition jars of their high-performance night cream La Crème. The original version, at $525 a jar, is thought to be the most expensive moisturizer in the world.
