“I think I am a genius,” the artist
Yves Klein confessed to his diary in
1955, shortly before he mixed crushed
lapis lazuli with an innovative clear
resin to create one of history’s most
famous hues. His patented Interna-
tional Klein Blue—unmistakable,
mesmerizing, electric, alive—taught
me that not all blues are created
equal: Certain colors, just like people,
have undeniable charisma, an It fac-
tor. They brighten our faces with the
same effervescent ease with which
a charismatic charmer brightens
a party. When I test the thousands
of new makeup shades that launch
each year, I’m seeking out those
with maximum star power—that new
magnetic, insanely flattering purple
lipstick or that glowing blue mascara
that would make Klein proud.

arch is the one that looks good on
you—and this can certainly change
from day to day. Luckily, the beauty
industry has gotten the memo and
there are countless new products
offering assistance. When I do a
bold lip, for example, I like a soft,
feathery brow, so I’ll define the tails
with sketchy strokes of a pencil (one
shade lighter than my brows), and
then brush everything up and out
with clear gel. Nude makeup calls for
a stronger effect: I fill in the entire
arch using a stiff brush dipped in a
cream-gel color. Even on days I can’t
be bothered with makeup, I’ll still
use a tinted gel to brush up the hairs,
which somehow makes me look more
awake. Come to think of it, maybe

dently inky liners you never had the
guts for. Everything looks better

in the form of gentle cowashes,

Rosy Future
Brian Underwood,
Beauty Director,
O, The Oprah Magazine
Why pink? For one thing, it’s the color
of extravagant good health. Nothing
says youthfulness and abundant energy
like a rosy flush. But blush isn’t the only
way to play with pink. From cotton-
candy bright to the palest salmon, a pop
of pink lip color can transform any look.
Pair a bold, traditional smoky eye with
a delicate, matte mauve; a neutral eye
with a vivid Popsicle cherry. Or if you
are blessed with beautiful skin (or have
worked hard for it), just swipe on
a blackest black mascara, and finish
off with a raspberry lip.
The most daring way to wear pink:
as a bold eye shadow. (Although, if you
have very pale skin, this is probably
not your best choice—rabbity is not a
good look. But all other complexions,
rejoice!) Create a modern smoky eye
with a bright watermelon or dusty rose
on the lids, sheering it up as you move
toward the brow bone. I like to think of
pink as the prettiest and most versatile
neutral, the one most likely to give you
the rosiest outlook.

While there’s something to be said for a
polished, dressed-up red or a hint-of-
tint nude, when it comes to outright
cool, nothing rivals a slightly smudgy,
merlot-hued lip. The shade suggests its
wearer is likely a woman of appetites—
for berries, for wine, for kissing—and
the soft-focus application implies she
may have recently been partaking in
any or all these passions with aban-
don. This look can be worn as a subtle
stain or a bold daub of color—I lay the
lipstick on thick, then tamp it down
with tissue until I get just the right level
of hazy imprecision. Then? I leave it
alone, because to overthink it or try
to correct any stray smears would be
to miss the point: This is a mouth that
says, “I choose to live deliciously.

“Kontouring”? So last year. This fall,
the masses formerly mesmerized
by YouTube tutorials are moving
on to greener pastures where the
aesthetic is more milkmaid fresh
than reality star. Consider a world
where kombucha is the new cham-
pagne, and personally, it’s no surprise
that we all want to look like we just
came from hot yoga. Of course, as a
Bikram devotee, I can assure you that

new makeup and skin-care products
have been designed to keep “you,
but better” in mind. To achieve that
glow—which, let’s face it, makes you
look younger and healthier and there-
fore sexier—routine exfoliation is key,
as is an arsenal of brightening serums
and light-reflecting makeup that

Back in ’97, my college friends and
I pored over the pages of Kevyn
Aucoin’s Making Faces between psych
lectures and flip-cup tournaments.
The preeminent makeup artist’s 160-
page dissection of the face plus easy-
to-follow tips gave anyone—novice or
zealot, utilitarian or dreamer, sorority
sister or fraternity brother—the power
to transform...or just simply tweak.
One of my favorite images is of model
Adia Caulibaly. Every millimeter of
her already luminous face is dusted
with gold glitter. (Ditto her hair, ears,
neck, and skinny black tank strap.)
Pure fantasy (save for our annual
Space Odyssey party), the image is
balanced with Kevyn’s IRL tip on the
adjacent page: Spotlight cheeks or
brows with a highlighting stick for a
luminous, shapely lift.

Twenty years later, we’re manic for
metallics again—and in the same all-
or-almost-nothing kind of way. On one
end of the spectrum: all-lit everything
(from smearing your part with glitter
to going full-on Adia). On the other:
shimmer sticks and lotions that make
basic contouring a breeze (slide them
along the ridges of your cheeks to reveal
sharp angles sans bronzer). Or meet in
the middle by swiping lips or lids with
liquid metal pigments. As the master
said, “It’s up to you to decide which
effect you want to achieve.”
