2010 Beauty Innovations Video

A big trend that we've been seeing is that makeup artists are working with designers and the designers are getting influenced by makeup artists. There's really a synergy between the two and that is translating into products that are coming out.

I'm Sarah Silver and I'm a beauty and fashion photographer in New York City. Today, we are shooting new trends in beauty and we're showing things that I think the average woman hasn't seen yet.

We decided to look at what the next 10 years held in terms of new beauty treatments because we're always interested in the new beauty frontier.

So, the reason we did "Beauty Almanac for 2010" is because, well, it's a beginning of a new decade and people are always asking what the new big thing in-- in beauty is, what is the next thing that maybe you should be asking your dermatologist about, what they should be trying out at home.

My name is Christina Saratsis. I am the stylist on this shoot and I'm the Assistant Fashion Editor at Marie Claire. I think a lot of people, you know, believe that you have to have a lot of money in order to have the best treatments and what we're trying to say is there are these great, new, amazing treatments but it's also something that's a little more accessible to the every day woman.

We decided to do, like, a top 10 list of things that you might hear about in the next year, or in the upcoming years, that you might be interested in.

One of my favorites was a new contouring laser that you can do yourself. It's got one of those long, thin lights and it's apparently a fat contouring laser, where you basically melt your own fat. And so, we're really highlighting the fact that it's gonna be available and then asking whether or not this is what people want.

Salon dermatologist have been talking about they can do scalpel-free facelifts.

It's much less intrusive than some of the more traditional facelift and apparently, it really gives you a great, plump face and a beautiful glow. What more can one ask?

So, everybody's obsessed with the iPhone apps and putting more things on to their BlackBerry and smartphones in order to be able to maximize their time and multitask. And now, you can have beauty apps, too. There are new websites out there where you can download applications onto your iPhone and they help you diagnose what your skin problems are and help you choose products to treat your skin condition. Myskin.com has a huge database of 4500 brands of different skin care products and they can compare you with different people who are already in the site and then they look and see what products have worked for them and suggest them to you. On Facebook, Crest actually has a 3D white tool so you can whiten and brighten your smile in your photo.

We're also gonna see a lot of the miracle product Keratin, which is apparently huge in Brazil and is really beginning to infiltrate the American market.

A big trend that we've been seeing is that makeup artists are working with designers and the designers are getting influenced by makeup artists. There's really a synergy between the two and that is translating into products that are coming out.

So you get all sorts of designers now coming out and working on color. One thinks actually of [unknown] working a long time to produce a fantastic pink, what was very true to his collection. Chris Benz is coming out with a line. So, it's really the melding of fashion and beauty which we're gonna see much, much more of. I met Kate Milliken at the party actually, which sounds like one of those classic editor stories where someone comes up and says, "Have I got a story for you," and actually, it was one of those cases where she really did have a story for us. She had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She was in her early 30s, obviously extremely depressed about it, and very gloomy about the outcome.

It was such a shock. Like, everything for me really moved very, very fast. Once it all happened, then all of a sudden I was in the hospital and I haven't known a lot about MS and to me, it was really, from what I did know, a-- a death sentence or at least a sentence of your life is gonna go down a very unhappy path.

Then she decided that she was going to really investigate it, do everything she could, which included traditional medicine and some more unusual techniques which are completely unproven.

For me, it was a real moment of "Oh my god!" and also at that time, I was single, so I was living in my own apartment, running my own business, coming out of the hospital, January 2007, thinking I have a new reality and it's all mine, and this is the way it's gonna be.

But, the combination of what she did in fact reversed the disease. This is a very controversial story 'cause people will tell you that you cannot reverse this disease. But what her doctors at Mount Sinai Hospital found was that the lesion that they had found on the back of her neck, which signified that she did have MS, had actually disappeared.

So, I have my own business. I have a video production company. We shoot interviews for personal tributes, and I travel all over the city doing these interviews, and I'm my own crew. So, even though it's great having my own business, there's definitely an element of schlepping that comes along with it where sometimes can be a grind and sometimes not. Today, I'm doing okay. There was just a lot of kind of grappling of what does this mean, and how do I feel, and how is my life gonna be, and what can I do. Can I keep running my business? Can I go out on dates? Can I still bike in the park? Like, trying to kind of come to terms with that.

She is a extraordinary example of someone who really tried to take control of something which feels, and to a lot of people is, completely uncontrollable and she really made a difference. Every day, take a-- first of all, eat something healthy, like a piece of toast with some avocado on it, and then I take vitamins, and then I take a shot. It's for green juice which, it's not sexiest breakfast drink you've ever had but it's a very healthy one. After the green juice, I will be going to yoga, which is why I'm dressed like this. And as far as for me and my MS, it's a really, really good thing to do. You know, how often in New York do you stop, and take a deep breath, and evaluate, and just let things stand still? For me, it's been really, really helpful and-- and really powerful, and I think it definitely helps with making me feel better.

She's a very inspiring, intelligent, interesting, quite beautiful young woman. She remains clear of it. The lesions have not come back and it's an extraordinarily interesting story.

It's Tadashi Shoji. I'm a big Tacori fan and my fiance and I got our wedding rings from them, and they've just been amazing, and we're big fans. I'm just out to say hi, and play with them, and just support. I finished up "Mad Men" this week and I am off to Georgia to do a movie with Katie Heigl, Josh Duhamel, Hayes MacArthur, and Josh Lucas. It's called "Life as We Know It" and I'm gonna start that next week.
