“The new eye color: red. The unexpected hue popped up at Donna Karan, where the makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury used a red eye pencil as both liner and mascara (I like the rosy Pearl Shadow in Strawberry, above). At Gareth Pugh, the look was lipstick-red shadow smudged from the lids to the temples. And at Costello Tagliapietra, models wore the faintest shimmer of orangey red around their eyes.”—Jane Larkworthy Beauty Director

“J. Press was founded on the Yale University campus in 1902, and its wares have remained largely unchanged—until now. Thanks to Ariel and Shimon Ovadia, better known as Ovadia & Sons, the brand’s staples have been reinvented, with trimmer fits and cooler colors. Check them all out at the new store on New York’s Bleecker Street.”—Armand Limnander Deputy Editor

“I’m excited that Cartier is relaunching its Salvador Dalí–esque Crash watch. Introduced in 1967, it was inspired by a customer who had come in because his watch had, um, ‘crashed.’ ”—Claudia Mata Jewelry and Accessories Director

“I’m thrilled about Naomi Campbell’s TV moment as a model coach—along with Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha—on the Oxygen network’s The Face. Stefano Tonchi [in gray suit] and I [third from left] had an amazing day with them on their first panel. I have my DVR set for Tuesday nights!”—Claudine Ingeneri Bookings Director
