The party to be at on Friday night—if you’re an A-list celebrity in Los Angeles, that is—was one hosted by Stella McCartney for the music video premiere of Paul McCartney’s “My Valentine.” The video (which stars Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman) was watched by everyone from Gwen Stefani to Gwyneth Paltrow, making the exclusive screening quite the red carpet event. While the majority of guests wore Stella McCartney Spring 2012 pieces, bright shades of lipstick were just as popular a style statement. Kristen Stewart and Zooey Deschanel certainly stood out above the rest, with almost-identical makeup that was focused on raspberry-coloured lips and heavily lashed eyes.

At Miu Miu’s Spring 2012 show, the models’ faces were left mostly bare, save for a brazen swipe of red across each eye. Bright and severe, the look was a striking accompaniment to the collection’s fairly neutral palette. If you’re bold enough to try it, red is fabulous! So rather than tone down the colour to something more muted, I decided to use a bright, primary red, but soften it by adding both deeper and lighter colours around the edges.

A few hours after the Erdem show ended on Monday, pictures of the lacy, camouflage-esque floral print started popping up across Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. It’s always interesting to see which elements of a collection achieve viral (for lack of a better word) status on social media sites and go on to become ubiquitous within months—Miu Miu’s swallows, anyone? So, in effort to start canonizing Erdem’s vibrant print, I took the Fall 2012 design to my nails.

In addition to helping you stay stylish throughout the holiday season, we want to make sure you look your most beautiful. Taking inspiration from the red carpet, we’ve pulled together three different ways to do your makeup—shimmering mauve shades for a festive brunch, a bronze smoky eye for that can’t-miss cocktail party, and a deep, smoldering look on New Year’s Eve.

See our suggestions for how to get Taylor Swift’s red carpet look »

Confession: We adore Taylor Swift too much to mind that she’s fond of repeating the same hair and makeup at every red carpet event. Hey, we get it—if something works, why change it? At last night’s 2011 BMI Country Awards, however, Swift did slightly switch up her typical winged-eye-and-bright-lips look, by adding a warmer shimmer to her eye makeup and skipping the red lips for a muted pink-plum shade instead. (Don’t the colours complement her purple sequin Emilio Pucci mini-dress perfectly?) Swift’s curls are also more relaxed than we’ve seen before, but still styled in her classic one-sided wave. This is definitely a look worth copying for upcoming holiday parties.

It’s day two of Fashion’ween and we’ve moved from fashion personality to fashion plaything. Katy Perry might not always dress on trend, but from the red carpet to her music videos, she’s proven that her off-the-wall outfits are just as catchy as her (many) #1 songs.

I’m a publicist who works long hours at the office before hosting events in the evening—how can I appear perky, even if my mood isn’t? Adding a red lipstick or a bright blush will amplify the colour on your face, but more colour doesn’t necessary look more vibrant. Alternatively, you could score a natural flush […]

Gone are the days of the one-lipstick woman. This fall, red lips are trending, and now you don’t have to pick just one hue. From bold red to deep purple, it’s all about confidence in carrying a shade. Sure, you might have a preference, but there’s no need to feel limited. Switch from poppy to pomegranate from day to night—no one’s stopping you.

I love summer’s trendy, bright makeup, but wearing it on my lips is too bold for work. Got any other bright ideas? Yep. Shift the light onto your eyes with Lise Watier’s 24 HRS GLAM MASCARA ($21, at Lise Watier counters) in “Violet,” “Bleu” or “Vert.” Wearing coloured mascara is so old it’s new again, […]
