Korshak Q&A with Mark Davis
Meet Mark Davis, a fine jewelry designer based in New York City. Mark Davis is known for his use of vintage Bakelite, one of the first plastics ever made. Since Bakelite is no longer produced, the designer scours antique markets and estate sales to acquire the rare material…sometimes in the most unusual forms, like a jute box or a radio! The Bakelite is then shaped and restored to its original luster and set with modern inlays or precious and semi-precious stones.

The new Chanel summer colors have arrived, and they are BRIGHT! Makeup artist Tye Goettle takes us through the simple steps to incorporate the new colors into your daily look (without looking like you’re going to an 80’s party).
The hues: blues and corals
Step 1: Apply Stylo Eye Shadow Fresh Effect in Pink Lagoon to fresh eyelid. Start at the lash-line and move to the crease.
Step 2: After applying your favorite Chanel black mascara, add Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in shade Blue Note #57 to tips of upper lashes.
Step 3: Apply Stylo Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner in shade True Blue to outer corner of both top and bottom lash line.
Step 4: Place a nickel-sized amount of Soleil Tan de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid on the back of your hand. Using a Chanel #7 Blending Foundation Brush, apply fluid on to cheeks and hairline, then blend.
Step 5: Apply Rouge Coco Shine in shade Idylle #457 to top and lower lip, pressing to blend. Complete the look by adding a touch of Chanel Levers Scintillantes Gloss in shade Zephyr.
Step 6: To complete your Chanel summer look apply one or two coats of Le Vernis Nail Colour in shade Azure #657 to nails.
