I’ve been obsessed with this Cannes-Film-Festival image of Jane Fonda from for a while. Sure she’s had some work done — a proper face lift, in fact. She’s spectacular, 75 with a killer body she keeps in shape via regular exercise. But the detail I love most about this image is that her makeup artist used shimmery eye shadow. [geek on]

How much do I love beautygeek Liza Herz? These photos! They’re so fun, and they’re all about a hairspray I understand. I mean, I get the allure of hairspray that brushes out easily without white flakies, especially when on set for a photoshoot and the model’s hair has to assume more than one style in a day. But in real life, hairspray that brushes out in a snap makes no sense to me. I need hold that lasts for a good chunk of the day, even if I put my hands through my hair more than once. [geek on]

A weird thing happens for some women when it comes to special-event makeup, especially if we’re minimalists who rarely stray from our usual routines. Suddenly we’re compelled to put on every cosmetic we own, and to put on too much because everyone says, “you need to wear more than you usually do.” The trick is to keep it simple, and layer your makeup — a little primer, foundation, concealer, powder — and have it look like you, only better. This gorgeousness by star makeup artist and Revlon Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman for last week’s Marchesa bridal runway show in New York is ideal. Closeups and details below.

Knowing how to spell doesn’t get you compliments. People just don’t react to correct spelling. But misspellings — those get reactions, and usually not good ones. This post is about not ever being on the receiving end of judgement about a spelling oops. [geek on]

According to the Joint Canadian Tanning Association (JCTA), “developing a base tan prior to sun vacations through UV exposure at indoor tanning salons protects against sunburn [geek on]

Age looks so good on Cindy Joseph. She’s 63, a longtime pro makeup artist, and a top model since her start at age 49. Genetically blessed. Age also looks great on Yvonne, the model in the makeup how-to video later in this post. The look is simple, fresh and youthful; I had to share. But before that, let’s talk about stuff for skin.
