MAKEUP
• Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir has some makeup tips to offer up. He suggests M.A.C. concealer and blot powder to keep skin looking flawless, and thinks nothing’s more important than knowing how to evenly apply bronzer. Obviously, nothing goes better with flawless skin than sparkles. [Makeup and Beauty Blog]
• Mary-Kate Olsen’s latest look is to do a lower-level smoky eye, but with colorful eyeshadow. Maybe it’s because we’re New Yorkers, but we prefer black. [Girls in the Beauty Department/Glamour]
HAIR
• Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown debuted a half-shaved head this week. She also glued rhinestones to the bare part of her scalp. Imagine that look on the cover of your old Spice World CD. [FabSugar UK]
NAILS
• Serena Williams decided to become a certified nail technician, because “no one likes getting their nails done more than I do.” The tennis star says she gets a manicure every four days and a pedicure every seven. If we played polish-destroying sports, we probably would, too. [Beauty Reporter/Allure]
FRAGRANCE
• Hermès will release a new fragrance this spring called Voyage. The unisex scent aims to bring to mind the “essence of travel.” The packaging is travel-friendly and easy to replace with refills, rather than forcing customers to buy a brand-new bottle each time they run out. [WWD]
• Victoria’s Secret launched the 2010 version of their Very Sexy Now fragrance. It includes notes of frangipani nectar, jungle lily, and purple orchid. [Now Smell This]
