Beauty School: lipstick and winged liner in 90 seconds

For this short video how-to, Patterson decided to teach us how to create fuller lips and winged eyeliner - two of beauty's most burning questions. "It's really, really simple," Patterson told us. And then, he went on to show us how to do it in three minutes...

PIERRE Ryckmans, the late Belgian Sinologist, was one of the greatest intellectuals ever to live in Australia. He was an extraordinarily gifted and decent human being, whose writing provides a luminous insight into Chinese culture and history, and into many aspects of the human condition. As an author, he bears comparison with George Orwell for the astringent clarity and moral courage of his thinking and writing. Yet in many ways he was a much bigger figure than Orwell.

SAN FRANCISCO — Catalina Girald sits in the middle of the world headquarters of Naja, a new lingerie company with manufacturing facilities in Medellin, Colombia.

Naja offices consist of a warren of small rooms filled with boxes, whiteboards, an assistant and a tiny dog named Blueberry. The company headquarters actually is the CEO's apartment, on the fourth floor of a building in a neighborhood not big on glam. And there is no elevator.

But spend any time with Girald, and you start to see not what is, but what can be.

Results found no association between symmetrical facial features and 16 illnesses including measles, mumps, tonsillitis and flu

Symmetry is thought to be behind the psychology of human mate choice
But new study flies in the face of past research into the issue

Teens, tweens turn out to meet Niki and Gabi.

The Beatles had Shea Stadium to greet legions of teenage fans. Teen fashion icons and YouTube sensations Niki and Gabi DeMartino had the Lehigh Valley Mall on Saturday.

The portraits are of the men who participate in the Platinum International Newcomer’s Pageant, an predominantly African American drag queen pageant held in a makeshift club near Birmingham. The pageant crowns a king and queen and winners spend their reign doing community activism as representatives of the pageant.

The stylish gallerist reminisces on her beauty inspirations

Rather oddly I remember being fascinated by a spiritual type of lady at my primary-school summer fête in Kew. She had made all sorts of lotions and potions out of rose petals, lavender, gardenias and essential oils. All very magical to my young mind. I was at her stall for hours trying them, but the best part was she wrapped up purchases in silver-foil packages. It was the late 1970s - all very bohemian. I subscribed to a make-up club at boarding-school. A monthly shipment arrived and I slapped it all on!
