Paris A/W ‘10: Louis Vuitton Has One ‘Elle Of Good Time

2010-03-12T02:39:00Z

With Marc Jacobs perching high above the Louis Vuitton horse and taking the reigns firmly in his grasp, it’s no surprise that there were some, erm, surprises popping up on the runway. Like Elle Macpherson, for example. She’s created quite the buzz for good old Louis with her return to the runway after all these years. Yup, us Aussies sure know how to make the world watch. Good one Elle.

Video: Five Things I’m Loving This Week (Bobbi Brown, Nars and Benefit)

2010-03-11T19:32:00Z

A big, happy Friday to you all, Primpers. I hope you’ve had a glorious week. To finish it off, here’s this weeks Five Things that sees me get just a little too excited over an illuminator and washing my hands of harsh, chemical-laden hand washes. Enjoy!

Paris A/W ‘10: Miu Miu’s Double Decker Colour Creation

2010-03-10T23:48:01Z

You can always rely on Miu Miu to bring a sense of fun back to the runway. Last season we saw those huge, chunky braids that were long and fat and pretty fabulous, actually, and this season, we’re seeing two toned eyes that were purple and orange and massively adorable. Check it out…

Video: Two Looks; One Set of Products

2010-03-10T19:04:00Z

Today I’m using the Revlon PhotoReady Collection of foundations and powders (plus some other funky coloured goodies) to create two looks for you to vote on, Primpers. It’s a day to night scenario that will see me creating a glorious, natural look for day and then boom! sexing it up right there and then with a bold purple shade. All you have to do it sit back, watch, enjoy and then vote for your favourite look.

Paris A/W ‘10: Valentino’s Brown Eyes (ha!)

2010-03-10T00:19:01Z

I’m sure Valentino would severely roll his eyes if he know I was referring to anything remotely associated with his beloved brand in reference to bums, but we’ll do anything for the sake of (gutter) humour here at PRIMPED, so brown eye it will remain, Primpers. It is the look they were going for after all. That’s right, Patty McGrath was at it again, working her makeup mastery for all to admire. Let’s take a look…

Paris A/W ‘10: How To: Stella McCartney’s Safari Makeup

2010-03-09T22:12:00Z

For anyone who feigns even the slightest interest in beauty, it’s safe to assume that this look is one you’d all try. Right? I’m hoping so, Primpers. This non-confronting, effortless style is what Stella McCartney does time and time again with the hair, makeup and clothes in her shows. She makes the simple look sleek and sophisticated, not something easily achieved at all but today, I’m going to attempt to show you how it’s done.

Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper Glam Up for AIDS

2010-03-09T19:09:01Z

A partnership is risky business, Primpers. There have been many an epic fail when it comes to putting two people together to claw their way to the top (hello, Whitney and Bobby), but for every fail, there have been plenty of wins, too. Marks & Spencer, Beyonce and Jay-Z and now, Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper, who’ve teamed up with M.A.C for the latest Viva Glam Lipstick campaign. Excited much? We sure are…

Paris A/W ‘10: Holy flaming eyeballs, Givenchy does red runway makeup

2010-03-09T00:48:00Z

Maybe it’s a coincidence that my eyes feel like they look at the Givenchy show, or maybe it’s just that red eye shadow is becoming a hit. Either way, I think this is a splendid time to prove to you Primpers, that red eye shadow is in fact wearable and doesn’t always look like you’ve been hitting the wacky tobacky.

Oscars Beauty Roundup: The hits, the misses and the blahs

2010-03-08T22:06:00Z

With my tweetdeck screen firmly positioned to my left, and my getty image screen on my right (yep, I work over two monitors), it’s fair to say that over the past two days, I’ve suffered severe Oscars fever, Primpers. My head is spinning after seeing hundreds...no, thousands of pictures of all the red carpet looks and now I have the pleasure of giving you the best, worst and more average celebrities on the Oscars Red Carpet. Let’s take a look…

Oscars Hair How To: Sandra Bullock’s Massively Shiny Side Sweep

2010-03-08T19:32:00Z

With all the award season shenanigans going on over the past few weeks, it has come to my attention that Sandra Bullock has the most amazingly beautiful hair. It’s phenomenal. I don’t know what that chick eats, but I’m telling you she’s one healthy woman, Primpers. She’s also one to work a good ‘do, and for the Oscars she went for a sleek side sweep that Clive Alright (AKA Global Artistic Director for KMS) is here to tell you all how to get. Pay attention now Primpers, he knows his shit.
