How To Get The Sophisticated & Tailored Look of Well-Suited With Prescriptives
The Fall 2009 Color Collection is “Well-Suited” at Prescriptives: Tailored menswear-inspired looks are showing up in many Fall fashion collections. Prescriptives supports this dramatic statement with Well-Suited, a Fall Color Collection that translates this edgy, yet feminine style into a range of sophisticated shades from tweedy browns to silky purples.
Prescriptives Director of Color Artistry Jillian Veran explains how to achieve the sophisticated and tailored look of Well-Suited: “We all love a good lip gloss, but there is something incredibly feminine about the bold statement of a lipstick…in this collection the look of a creamy nude lipstick is accentuated by a strong eye liner…create a sharp straight line or a smudgy, sexy look, but either way you will want to line the inside rim for extra drama.”

Get The Look:Healthy Luminous Skin
Summer 2009 Red Carpet Beauty Trends: This summer celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Giselle Bundchen and Hilary Duff all appear to have just stepped off the beach and onto the red carpet. Christina Zilber, make-up stylist and founder of Jouer Cosmetics teaches us easy ways to fake a healthy luminous look.
How To Get Healthy Luminous Skin: To protect skin from excess oil, Christina begins by using fingertips to apply Jouer Essential Matte Touch where needed. This botanical mattifier can be used under makeup or alone to purify skin and calm irritation, while firming and moisturizing with Vitamins C, D, & E.
The most important aspect to the celebrity look is flawless skin. Even out your complexion using the Jouer’s Luminizing Moisture Tint.

Rich SPF 20 protects from UVA and UVB rays while Ginseng and Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract deliver antioxidants to skin promoting a healthy complexion.
Get the Look:Hayden Panettiere at the 2009 “I Love You, Beth Cooper” Screening
Get a sneak peek to Hayden Panettiere’s makeup look at 2009 “I Love You, Beth Cooper” Screening!
Hayden Panettiere’s makeup is all by NEUTROGENA.
Makeup Artist Amy Oresman collaborated with NEUTROGENA brand ambassador Hayden Panettiere to create the starlet’s look for the New York City premiere of “I Love You, Beth Cooper”, and now shares how you can achieve this gorgeous look on your own:
Inspiration: Hayden’s look was inspired by old Hollywood glamour – with a new young twist. This is one of my favorite makeup looks for a starlet. It’s sexy and subtle.
Eyes: I wanted to create a subtle smoky eye that wouldn’t fight with the bright juicy lip we were planning on using on Hayden. To create this look I started by using NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Quad in Blue Smoke, this created a subtle smoke to the eye by using graphites and blues, which are not as harsh as black. I then framed the eye with NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eyeliner in Cosmic Black, which has a slight glossy sheen creating just a hint of drama around the perimeter of the eye. I topped the look off with NEUTROGENA Healthy Volume Black Mascara. This look is all about lashes and lips. This mascara is perfect for the three coats of mascara used to create ultra volume.
Makeup Meltdown Solutions:Skindinavia Cool Flash Makeup Finish
I’m always on the look out for the latest beauty innovations. Finding a way to help my makeup stay in place all day and all night, especially during the Summer, is quite revolutionary! What I’ve discovered is Skindinavia Cool Flash Makeup Finish. It is designed to be heat resistant and to hold my makeup in place. What I like about this spray mist is that it feels fresh as water and doesn’t have an overpowering scent or feel (it’s oil-free), so it is a no brainer for me!
Skindinavia Cool Flash Makeup Finish Heat Resistant Makeup Hold ($29): A weightless mist holds foundation, eye shadow, blush and concealer. Other benefits: Fewer required “touchups” throughout the day. Helps reduce makeup slippage into pores, lines, wrinkles, or scars.
NARS Fall 2009 Collection
Fall’s runways were dominated by two words: bold and feminine. Strong shouldered and form-hugging silhouettes, extreme heels and provocative thigh-high boots, and a color palette of classic hues turned up a notch to Technicolor volumes. These trends also illustrate the NARS Fall collection.
“For this collection, I wanted to create something fragile and strong, and seductive but not aggressive,” said François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics. The combination of strength and refinement has become a hallmark of NARS, and is particularly fitting this season as the brand celebrates its 15th anniversary.
Below are the highlights:
NARS Fast Ride Lipstick – $24: This seemingly dark purple may intimidate, but swipe it across the lips and its true shade is revealed: a sheer mulberry. A color that falls somewhere between an intense plum wine stain, and a moody, deep violet.
NARS Tokaido Express – $16: This new hue is a cult classic in the making. Named after Japan’s most heavily frequented high-speed rail route, this lacquer is an opulent blackened amethyst doused with ultra-fine gold dust particles.
