Whenever I meet a makeup artist, I'm always intrigued by her version of the "five-minute face" or other similarly swift application techniques. Last year, Bruce Grayson gave me the lowdown on a six-minute face, and now Dell Ashley of Yves Saint Laurent is sharing his advice on a five- and seven-minute face.
If you only have five minutes:
- Dell recommends using a primer/moisturizer duo on the skin as a prepping agent.

For Yves Saint Laurent's Fall '09 campaign, Stefano Pilati channeled the '90s with the help of Christy — no last name needed. Check out the Super, decked out in all black, standing against a simplistic background shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Christy's makeup and shimmery halter jumpsuit are very throwback, very old school — I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I absolutely adore Michelle Williams's quirky street style — her pea coats are Fab — but Michelle in a dress is an equally lovely sight. On her way to the 2009 Fresh Air Fund Salute to American Heroes event at Tavern on the Green in NYC, the actress wore a gorgeous ivory, one-shoulder Phillip Lim dress with gold stud detailing. Not too short, not too long, not too fitted, not too loose; just right.

Gogosushi looks like a pretty paparazzo today in her denim shirtdress. The red beret is a spunky touch and I adore her textured tights. Snap, snap — are you ready for your close-up?

Alexander Wang's nude and black corset dress caught the attention of not one, but two celebrities. Peep Rihanna and Paris Hilton both wearing Wang's slick frock with black Jil Sander and Yves Saint Laurent pumps, respectively. For accessories, Paris donned a necklace from Nicole Richie's House of Harlow line and a silver statement ring.

I can only dream of the islands I would visit wearing ravishing resort pieces from Yves Saint Laurent, Armani, Moschino Cheap & Chic, and Missoni. While my Costa Rica trip won't be quite as fancy, I can aspire to look just as nice. Each collection showed a different take on holiday dressing.

Armenian beauty Kim Kardashian makes rare appearances on Fab. But you have to agree the reality sister has stepped up her style in the last year. I featured her earlier in black, white, and chic all over.
