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.

DISCOVERED

On our eternal hunt for unique and effective skincare devices, this one stood out from the pack. ZIIP, the brainchild of “electrical esthetician” Melanie Simon, uses nano-current technology to stimulate elastin and collagen production—from the comfort of your vanity. The sleek, user-friendly device links up to an iPhone app that features everything from how-to videos to new treatment routines (current options target dry skin, signs of age, and acne). The result rivals that of a spa facial, with immediately luminous, lifted, younger-looking skin. Our community of artists is besotted. Jenn Streicher, for one, reports using the ZIIP to give clients instantly chiseled cheekbones before big premieres (and utilizing one on herself for firming when off-duty).

TESTED

ON SET: Immediately awakens skin for an unspeakably early call time.

ON THE RED CARPET: Preps and plumps the complexion in advance of opening night.

ON THE VANITY: Makes blemishes vanish as quickly as they appear.

APPROVED

“I love that the ZIIP is so easy to use! It’s small yet powerful, and targets many skin concerns. My clients love it because the results are instant and the treatment feels good. Plus, there’s no pain or downtime.”—Rania Saleh, Dallas-based esthetician
