Chanel’s models walked the runway wearing Sharpie-thick cat-eye makeup during the brand’s couture show. The house’s global creative director of makeup, Peter Philips, says the heavy liner was intentional and designed to “take the makeup look away from retro.” [Beauty Counter Blog/Style.com]

• D.J. Harley Viera-Newton is addicted to nail art. “I’ve done pretty much everything: full rhinestones on every single nail; I did a rainbow French which has actually been my favorite so far. I’ve done a Christmas theme, a Halloween theme, you name it.” [Into the Gloss]
