Earler this fall, our friends at Guerlain scooped us to a top-secret product they were launching in 2012: their Noir G Mascara — an eyewear update to their insanely popular (and award-winning) Rouge G lipstick, which has a built-in mirror, and unparalleled long-lasting quality.

This morning I was THRILLED to find that the mascara is now available for pre-order on Saks ($49). Get one now before all the beauty junkies snatch them up in Jan.

p.s. Here is the lovely Natalia Vodianova in their new ad campaign:

With Fashion Week in full gear, it seems that one designer after the next has been sending inspiring hair and makeup looks down the runway. But we have to say, in terms of tresses, we especially loved the soft, tousled waves at Rebecca Minkoff. To achieve the look, Ouidad stylists used some of these key products.

Stylists worked Ouidad’s PlayCurl Volumizing Foam ($22) through models’ hair, giving it a needed boost so that curls would take hold.

After loosening the curls, Ouidad Styling Mist Setting & Holding Spray ($15) was applied to hold waves in place, while also adding long-lasting shine. Voila: instant bedhead.

a sea of bold lips, the muted makeup at Elise Overland’s Fall 2011 show caught our eye. The models, who stood on an ice rink, looked (fittingly) like snow queens, with clean skin, highlighted cheekbones, and pale lips. Makeup artist Napoleon Perdis was the man behind the look, which is easy to DIY with the below.

Get airbrushed-looking skin like the models at Elise Overland with Napoleon Perdis Boudoir Mist Spray Foundation ($49), which also reduces fine lines and wrinkles. We’ll take two.

With such a neutral look, it’s easy for eyes to get lost. Define them with Napoleon Perdis Long Black Mascara ($22), which contains a built-in curler to make lashes super fluttery.

Get glowing like Overland’s models with NP Set Liquid Veil Makeup ($14), a highlighter that adds sheen to lips, eyes, and cheekbones.

Hair:

Vena Cava Spring 2011

One of our favorite hairstyles was this updo from the Vena Cava show. Inspired by the ’70s Halston girl, hairstylist Ted Gibson created a textured ballerina bun and then crowned hair with a headband that was actually a scarf twisted around the models’ heads. The effect? An effortlessly chic look equal parts vintage and modern.

Create your own version of this style in minutes with by setting a bun in place with the help of Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold Hairspray ($19.95) and adding a Topshop Velvet Bow Turban ($20).

Derek Lam S/S 2011

Enviably sleek, straight hair–parted down the middle– drifted down the catwalk at several shows, like Derek Lam and Tracy Reese, and suddenly beachy waves seemed so 2010.

Straighten up and get Frederic Fekkai Coiff Controle Ironless Straightening Balm ($25). Apply it to hair to make even wavy locks silky straight, even as it air dries. No flatiron required.

Makeup:

Venexiana S/S 2011 Backstage

Some of the spring runways saw the more typical (but still pretty) parade of pastel shades and bare skin, such as at Vivienne Tam and Donna Karan. But we fell for the collections that didn’t shy from color, like the wild eyes and shiny pink lips at Venexiana, where makeup artist Napoleon Perdis was inspired by glamour of Venetian courtesans. Perdis told us that spring will be all about satin skin, big lashes, and smokey lids with a metallic edge. Sign us up!

Get this spring evening look by dusting lined lids with Napoleon Perdis Loose Eye Dust #1 ($20), which lends a gold sheen that can be worn alone, or layered over another color to give it a metallic effect. Then, plump your lashes with a healthy dose of Mesmer-Eyes Mascara ($25).

Perdis capped models’ lips with pinks at both the Venexiana and Elise Overland shows, and you can get a similar look with NP Set Lipstick in Minneapolis Cream Pink ($15), a blush shade that screams spring and is office-appropriate to boot.

Marc Jacobs S/S 2011

We also loved the bold cherry lips that some of the models sported at Marc Jacobs. In fact, for us they almost stole the show. Maybe now we won’t have to get rid of those crimson lipsticks we bought for fall, after all…

Urban Decay Lipstick in Revolution ($22) will get you that very-red look, and can be blotted on for a more stained effect. The best part, though, might just be the attention-getting tube.  Finish off with a little bit (or a lot) of black liner– we like L’Oreal HIP Kohl Eyeliner ($13)–and you’ll look like you just stepped off the runways.

Nails:

Yoana Baraschi S/S 2011

It looks like bright reds will be back next spring, but for a fresh new way to wear the shade, we found inspiration at the Yoana Baraschi show. Models wore pale nails on their hands that contrasted with darker colors on feet– our favorite look featured sheer socks over bright red toes, with an effect simultaneously innocent and sexy.

Get the look with Dashing Diva’s New York Slice ($8), a universally flattering red that will look as good on toes and it will on hands. And if you’re bold enough to try it under sheer socks, we recommend Urban Outfitters’ too-cute UO Pointelle Sock ($8).

Charlotte Ronson S/S 2011 Backstage

At Charlotte Ronson, we swooned over the simple, sheer beige that models sported on both their hands and feet- a minimalist take on the season.

Pick up OPI’s always-classic Samoan Sand ($8), the same color that the models at Charlotte Ronson wore. And forget touch-ups, with a sheer color like this, you’ll never have to worry about chipping. Happy spring, ladies.

Kim Kardashian stepped out at the Teen Choice Awards wearing the look that she, well, looks best in: a glam bodycon dress, her dark hair in a high pony tail, and, of course, bronzed skin and flirty, smokey eyes. While it may not be so easy to snag her signature curves, it is easy to get her makeup look–even at drugstore prices.

Get Kim’s sexy eye by first lining your lids with a dark kohl liner like L’Oreal’s Le Kohl Pencil ($8.79). This rich liner in “Carbon Black” glides on easily and can be smudged a bit to create a smokey effect.

Get Kim’s gorgeous Armenian eyelashes on the fake with these easy to apply Maybelline Expert Lash False Eyelashes Natural ($6.99).

If you don’t have time for false lashes, a good alternative is Maybelline’s new mascara, appropriately called The Falsies ($7.49). This formula not only separates lashes, but lifts them up, creating a voluminous fringe much like Kim’s.

A natural, bronzed flush is also key to this look, so make sure to choose a bronzer that suits your skin tone. A good, foolproof option is Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Custom Glow and Bronzer ($12.49), which pairs each shade of the bronzer with its complementary blush. The result? A sun-kissed glow that’s not too bronze, not too pink, and just right for the red carpet.

Top it all off with a  pink pout, and if you aren’t lucky enough to have been blessed with naturally plump lips, you can fake it for under $10 with Maybelline’s Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper in “Born With It” ($8.49). The tingly formula boosts your pout while imparting a Kim-like pink shine.

Don’t ask us how it works, but this mascara could survive a monsoon.

If you need foundation, we suggest making a beeline for the L’Oreal’s True Match Super Blendable liquid makeup ($10.95). True to its name, the foundation provides a near-perfect match for your skin.

For concealer, stay in the L’Oreal section and grab a bottle of Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral concealer ($9.95)–it blends flawlessly with most makeups and will do double-duty as a blemish concealer if you pat it on the trouble spot.

Need an inexpensive blush? Try Revlon’s cream version ($9.99). Unlike some drugstore products it won’t cake or crack – and it actually looks more natural than expensive blushes I’ve tried.

For bronzer, Physician’s Formula Baked Bronzer ($8.79) resembles a pricier high-end brand (we won’t name names). Use it liberally wherever you want a glow – you don’t have to worry about wasting expensive product.

Oh yeah, about that must-have mascara: try Maybelline’s Full and Soft ($6.59). It’s earned great reviews for years for lengthening and thickening without clumping. Plus it has a waterproof version for when you take a dip in the pool.

Need an emergency eyeliner? Rimmel’s Soft Kohl Kajal liner ($3.99) goes on as smoothly as the best of them, without blotching or running. And it smudges beautifully if you’re looking for a smokier look.

For eyeshadow, make-up artists and consumers alike recommend another L’Oreal product: its new H.I.P. line of Studio Secrets Professional Crystal Shadow Duos ($8.00. We love the pearlescent, sandy highlight tones – it’s a great, affordable alternative to brands like M.A.C.

Finish off with a great lip gloss: Revlon’s Super Lustrous lip gloss ($6.03) comes in bold, shiny shades, goes on smoothly and tastes and feels much better than most unexpensive lip products.

Known for their expertise in eye makeup and tools, Shu Uemura nailed two beauty staples in their Ultimate Expression Mascara ($23) and 24K Gold Eyelash Curler ($24). The mascara is creamy and thick, and creates a serious curl in even the most lackluster of lashes.   The eyelash curler is one of their all-time best sellers, and the 24K gold Limited Edition version is only a few dollars more than the original – totally worth it. Stock up on more than one while you can.

The cleansing oils were makeup artist Shu Uemura’s first product, and they’ve remained the brand’s hottest selling items ever since. Fans of the line swear by them; lightweight and botanically enhanced, the oils clean skin, remove makeup, and balance the complexion all in one. The Fresh Cleansing Oil Duo ($24) is great two-in-one set made up of an antioxidant skin purifier and an oil specially formulated for acne-prone skin.

Satisfy your inner urge to play dress-up with Shu Uemura’s dramatic false eyelashes, which are more like works of art, if you ask us. The soon-to-be collectors items, including these Black Velvet Feather False Eyelashes ($25), are dramatic–and that’s how we like it.

The Eye Shimmer Duo ($42) comes in a shimmery cream liquid and sparkling glitter powder and is a great way to stock up on two popular products in one. The color pairings are perfect (we like Shiny Mint), and the shimmers are small enough to keep in your party purse.

Not only is Shu Uemura known for it’s expert brushes and tools, but the Natural Portable Brush 10 ($48) is a triple threat: it can be used for powder, cream and liquid eyeshadow application.
