I know, I know, two Curator's Corners back to back. But I will return to regular blogging tomorrow, and the spring exhibition will be here next weekend. 🙂 In the meantime, here are this week's links.
– Racked examines the not-so-great history of beauty pageants, while Refinery29 presents a fascinating interview with a cosmetic chemist.
– Loved Chanel's quilted eye shadow effect for their fall 2016 show.
– More beauty mosaics, this time with old nail polish bottles. Note to self: feature this in a Makeup as Muse post. 😉
– The latest trends include using a Beautyblender for "hair strobing" and a yet another new contouring technique known as "3D tanning".
– Congrats to the first cohort of women who were accepted into Sephora's Accelerate program – they have lots of innovative ideas! Now if only someone could solve the environmental damage that's being done by the big personal care companies.
– I breathed a big sigh of relief once I saw who Nars is collaborating with this holiday season – it's not Terry Richardson, which I had feared.
– I disagree with a lot of things in this piece on little girls wearing makeup.
– If I had a cat I would so get him/her Soft Paws!
– Haha.
The random:
– In '90s nostalgia, the classic Coen brothers film Fargo turns 20, and Garbage announced a new album and tour.
– The title and date for Amy Schumer's book have been announced. Woot!
– Finally, the husband alerted me to these socks at J. Crew. I know they're men's socks but I simply had to have them! Here's big Sailor Babo modeling them. He was the perfect model as he and the other sailor plushies have seen many a mermaid at sea.
How was your week?
