THE BEST IN BEAUTY
FROM THOSE WHO KNOW BEST

VIOLET GREY began with our search for the best eyelash curler. To find the answer, we formed a band of inside-Hollywood experts and editors — from makeup artists to movie stars — to test every eyelash curler against our rigorous set of standards (the VIOLET CODE). We tested on film sets, on red carpets, and in the back of Jack Nicholson’s limousine — and once we learned which curler would make our lashes curve and not crimp (Utowa, it’s from Japan), we moved on to mascara, lip stain, dry shampoo, and everything else a girl needs in her cosmetic wardrobe. On any given day, we are discovering, testing, and approving best-in-class beauty. The result is a discerning curation of products, tips, and inspiration deemed essential — the Industry’s Beauty Edit.

MAKEUP ESSENTIALS

VIOLET GREY has curated the best makeup and beauty essentials for the season — all approved by the Violet Code. Reach for deep lip hues in shades of cocoa and berry while keeping your look modern with a clean, sculpted complexion and full, feathered brows. Maximize eyes with bold graphic liner or a swipe of metallic eye shadow. Nails should be lacquered in nude taupe, deep blue, grey, classic cognac, or bordeaux.
