Proof that fall is officially here: the launch of Chanel’s latest lacquers: Khaki Vert (a washed out sage-green), Khaki Brun (a milk chocolate-y brown), and Khaki Rose (a dusty pink hue). Designed by Peter Philips, global creator director of Chanel makeup, and released just in time for Fashion’s Night Out, these three military-esque polishes are the perfect complement to your earth-toned, autumn wardrobe. Just one important piece of beauty advice: Be sure to pick up these limited-edition, edgy paints asap—if they’re anything like Vamp or Black Satin, you’ll have to resort to buying them on ebay!
Looks We Love: Julia Louis-Dreyfus
We’re not used to seeing “Elaine” with such straight hair, but wow does she wear it well. The New Adventures of Old Christine star flaunted sleek, polished strands perfectly coiffed by celebrity stylist Oscar Blandi, who “wanted to keep her look sophisticated for a minimalist effect to complement her dramatic, black Narcisco Rodriguez gown.”
Dying to show off strands like this on Saturday night? Read on for Blandi’s step-by-step instructions:
- When hair is wet, spray roots with Oscar Blandi Volume Volumizing Spray and distribute a touch of Oscar Blandi Pronto Gloss throughout the hair to prevent frizz. Then, blow hair dry with a round brush for added oomph.
- To create the polished look, rake a small amount of Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum throughout the hair [using your fingertips]. Then, gently run a flat iron through the hair, keeping it one inch from the roots and leaving the ends softly bent to keep hair looking natural.
- Apply another dime-size amount of Oscar Blandi Pronto Gloss to the hair to control frizz and create a natural texture.
- Tuck your hair behind your ears, on both sides, securing with a pin to keep the hair in place. Then, finish the look with Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray for additional volume and flexible hold.
