Quote of the day: Dick Page



Dick page 90s make-up by David Sims

“I’ve never liked concealer under the eyes. I don’t understand why we collectively decided under-eye circles are the devil.”
Dick Page, T Magazine

I’m enjoying T Magazine’s recommendations from what’s in Dick Page’s make-up bag. The OG ‘no make-up make-up’ king (think 90s Harper’s Bazaar shoots and Calvin Klein shows), he rates Glossier foundation*, 19/99 barely-there mascara*– I love it too – and a brown pencil smudged around the eye with a finger to add depth.

Beauty update: Chanel Rouge Noir



Chanel Rouge Noir limited edition

Chanel has unveiled an entire line inspired by its classic Rouge Noir eggplant nail polish. (If you’re old enough, you’ll remember its debut in Pulp Fiction.)

It was always a fave place to buy presents for those hard-to-buy-for types and now it also promises “screenings, signings, talks and exhibitions”. Along with the likes of Donlon Books, BookMarc, Reference Point and Tenderbooks, Claire de Rouen (below) is a great example of arty, bookish hangouts as ‘cultural third spaces’ where you can meet like-minded curious types, expand your knowledge and get off your phone for a few hours.
