Fashion week is around the corner (already) and I’m preparing to pound the pavement armed with ridiculously high heels on my feet, a skinny vanilla latte in my left hand, my iPhone in my right hand, and a stack of show invites tucked in my oversize purse. But before I leave home each morning, I’ll follow my tried-and-true fashion week beauty routine for my eyes: a cooling gel for much-needed depuffing, a primer to keep my chocolate-color eyeshadow in place for the entire day, and a marvelous mascara to make my lashes a mile long.

Too Faced Easy on The Eyes available at Ulta.com for $10.
Nars Single Eyeshadow in Mekong available at NarsCosmetics.com for $23.
Fresh Lotus Eye Gel available at Sephora.com for $48.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr. It’s beyond cold here in NYC, and we’re kicking our skincare routine up about 10 notches. Thicker lotions and creams certainly help, but the key to keeping your skin baby soft during a harsh winter is consistent exfoliation. Thrice a week should do it!

Right now we’re loving SAMPAR’s Lap of Luxury Sea Scrub ($80 at SkinStore.com). An antioxidant-rich sea salt base infused with the essential oils of rosemary, peppermint, lavender, and geranium, it only takes one exfoliating session to see (and feel) results! It leads to dry chapped skin being gently sloughed off, leaving a soft nourished layer that will better absorb your moisturizer. How’s that for getting your money’s worth?

Leave it to Beyonce to make a t-shirt dress look super luxe. While partying at Mahiki in London with Rihanna (she’s there for the European leg of her I Am… Sasha Fierce tour), the sexy singer showed off her flawless gams and nude shoulder in a sexy slinky dress. I’ll make this one super quick—the style lesson learned here? Yes, a sequined blazer, a fedora, and black patent leather pumps are certainly chic, but glistening skin and rich red lips will jazz up just about anything. When your beauty is on point, the rest of the look is fab by default!

1. Face Screen Top, $28 available at Forever21.com.
2. L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in True Red, $6.46 available at WalMart.com.
3. Neutrogena Body Oil in Sesame, $8.99 available at Walgreens.com.

If you’re feeling like us, here are a few ways to keep that summer color. Faux real.

The Spring 2010 Dior collection listed Lauren Bacall and film noir as inspirations and the runway looks—clothes and beauty—showcased an insane amount of glamour. We were so in love with the sexy, screen siren makeup, we just had to look for ways to replicate it. Ruby red lips and sculpted cheeks were a definite must, but the purple shadow provided a great new twist!

1. NARS Single Eyeshadow in Party Monster, $22 at NARSCosmetics.com.
2. Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Midnight Cowboy, $16 at Sephora.com.
3. Napoleon Perdis Devine Goddess Makeup in Xenia, $22 at Ulta.com.

We could say we aren’t jealous of Emma Watson, but that would be a lie. Not only is the gorgeous young actress the face of Burberry, but she also sat front row at their Spring 2010 show in London looking as beautiful as ever. She seems to have mastered the combination of fresh-faced and youthful with grown-up glam—a look that we absolutely love. Here’s how we’d (try to!) get her flawless, sultry look:

1. Eyeshadow in Oil Slick, $16 at UrbanDecay.com.
2. DiorShow Mascara, $24 at Amazon.com.
3. Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Black, $1 at EyesLipsFace.com.
4. Stila Convertible Color Lipstick and Blush in Lillium, $25 at Sephora.com.
5. The Supernatural 4-in-1 Mineral Makeup SPF 15, $35 at Philosophy.com.

We couldn’t help but notice a young Grace Coddington look-a-like at Naeem Khan’s SS 2010 presentation. From her delicate snow white features to her fiery red hair, this pretty model on the right is the spitting image of Vogue’s Creative Director. Perhaps the designer and Bumble & Bumble Hairstylist Laurent Philippon were channeling The September Issue’s brightest star when they created the curly ‘do. From now on, we’re referring to this look as “The Grace Coddington.” C’est très élégant!

Anna Sui teamed up with Cover Girl to create the young, polished beauty look for the Spring/Summer 2010 runway show.

A doll-like beauty look was sent down the runways emulating the 1960’s feel of the collection. Clean Liquid Makeup gave models a flawless complexion, while Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush added a touch of rosy hue to the apples of the cheeks. Pat used LashBlast Length Mascara and LashBlast Volume on lashes for extra oomph and a “clumpy, doll-like look” and added Smoky ShadowBlast (November prelaunch) in Bronze Fire for subtle smolder. Lips were left lips left nude to keep the focus on the eyes.
The Look: 1960s beautiful beatnik chicks. Very young and bright. Simple, yet glamorous.
