L’Oréal introduces anti-aging line........

What: Youth Code, a new line of anti-aging products from L’Oréal.

Why bother: Genetic research has made a great impact on skin care in the recent past, and this has not been lost on the cosmetics powerhouse L’Oréal Paris. It has been testing ways to trigger skin’s repair gene to increase cell turnover (and reveal younger-looking skin) at the Saint-Louis Hospital Skin Research Institute in Paris for a decade. The team, led by the institute’s founder, Louis Dubertret, discovered that a combination of regenerative Biolystat, the collagen-producing molecule adenosine and peptides — which the brand is collectively referring to as GenActiv Technology — helps stimulate the DNA.

How it works: The four products in the range, which are targeted at women 35 and over, include a lotion with SPF meant for daytime, night cream, serum and an eye cream. The latter two are the best bets — the eye cream has a metal applicator that helps provide instant depuffing benefits and the serum has 10 times more Biolystat than the other products.

How much: $24.99 each, at drugstores.

Male Model Charles DeVoe Dies

A stunningly handsome male model who spent a month in a coma after a surfing accident in the Rockaways has died, sources said Monday.

Charles DeVoe, 28, had been hospitalized since the Nov. 12 incident. He died Friday.

FDNY divers had to cut DeVoe free after his ankle tether became snagged on a wooden pole. He was in the water for several minutes before he could be rescued.

DeVoe's agent, Jason Kanner, called DeVoe "a lovely kid who was respected and loved by many."

"This is a stunning and tragic loss for all those who loved and cared for him," Kanner said.

DeVoe came to New York in 2004 to pursue modeling and immediately made a splash.

He signed to Major Model Management and posed for fashion photography heavyweights like Bruce Weber, Steven Klein and Mario Testino.

He appeared in ad campaigns for Dolce Gabbana, Abercrombie & Fitch, Anne Klein, Buffalo Jeans, and alongside Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen for Stefanel.

His face graced the pages of magazines such as Details, GQ, Vogue Nippon, V Magazine, and Arena Hommes Plus.

DeVoe, who was from Philadelphia, chose modeling after graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder, said his parents David and Laura Lane DeVoe.

PARIS VOGUE EDITOR STEPS DOWN

In a surprise move, Carine Roitfeld said she will step down as editor in chief of French Vogue at the end of January.

“It’s 10 years that I’m editor of the magazine,” Ms. Roitfeld, one of the most influential editors in the fashion business, said. “I think it’s time to do something different.”

Claire Danes Lashes.......

Are Claire Danes' luscious lashes giving her hell? The Emmy Award-winning actress joined Brooke Shields this summer as a celebrity spokesperson for Latisse, an eyelash growth treatment from the makers of Botox -- but she seems to have suffered one of the product's side effects.

Danes, in a flouncy dress, touts, "When Your Lashes Grow, Your Lashes Show," while showing off longer, darker lashes in a TV and online commercial with the list of possible adverse reactions.

In a video diary on the Latisse Web site documenting her 16-week journey, Danes admitted, "When I first started using Latisse, I did actually have a side effect, the skin around my eyes was a little bit red that lasted for about a week. But since then, no, I haven't had any side effects."

However, a source claims that Danes' makeup artist has to plaster on concealer to cover the purplish and yellowish shade. "It is hard to cover it up," the source said.

A spokesperson for Latisse told Page Six, "We can only speak to what Claire has shared with us regarding her experience with Latisse, which is that she has been pleased with her results and continues to use the product. "Claire's team has shared with us that she has not experienced skin hyperpigmentation following use of Latisse," the spokesperson told us.

"Skin-darkening is a less common side effect . . . and typically occurs close to where Latisse is applied on the skin. This has been reported to be reversible in most patients upon discontinuation of Latisse."

Jessica Biel recreates the iconic 1952 Revlon Fire & Ice ad campaign that featured Dorian Leigh.........

This holiday season, Revlon is bringing classic retro glamour back to lips and finger tips.

In 1952 when the beauty giant launched the Fire & Ice collection ad campaign featuring "It Girl" Dorian Leigh, the model's jet-black hair and striking red lips and nails set against a dazzling silver sequined gown triggered a hailstorm of copycats. So popular was the hue gracing Leigh's lips, that the featured Fire & Ice shade continues to be a top-selling Revlon shade. Photos courtesy of Revlon

Karen Elson famous red-head.........

British supermodel Karen Elson has actress Christina Hendricks to thank for her success.

Elson confirmed that it was Hendricks, who modeled in the 1990s, encouraged her to dye her hair red.

Earlier this year, the flame-haired 'Mad Men' star told Harper's Bazaar that she gave Elson the inspiration, as well as her magic hair color formula, that shot the British beauty to the top.

Elson confirmed it to the Cut at Women's Wear Daily 100th anniversary party.

“We did a shoot together and I remember her beautiful red hair, and I had the worst sort of strawberry blonde mousy hair, and she was like, 'Here, you should dye your hair red, it's going to work for you.'"

Hendricks says that she is a natural blonde.

The 31-year-old Elson has been modeling since she was a teenager, winning 1998 Model of the Year at the VH1 Fashion Awards.

In January 2010, she replaced Angelina Jolie as the face the fashion house St. John.

Elson's main passion is her music.

Naomi Campbell lied under oath, claims former agent

Naomi Campbell's former agent, Carole White, wants the supermodel to be investigated by the Manhattan DA for possible perjury, claiming she lied under oath in an affidavit. White's company is suing Campbell for allegedly backing out of a perfume deal and stiffing her on commissions.

Campbell is countersuing, claiming White misrepresented her role in fragrance company Moodform Mission. The Post's Dareh Gregorian reports Moodform's lawyer, Daniel Bright, is now asking the judge to refer the case to the DA for possible criminal prosecution. Campbell's lawyer "unequivocally" denied the charge.

Tom Ford tells Jean Pigozzi he's too fat for his store

Tom Ford told towering Italian investor/photographer Jean Pigozzi that he doesn't want his giant kind at his boutique. The 6-foot-4, size XXL Pigozzi relates to Ingrid Sischy in Vanity Fair's December issue that he told Ford after visiting his men's store, "Tom, I went to your shop. I couldn't buy a handkerchief. Tom said, 'You know why? I don't want big fat guys like you in my shop' . . . But I think he's making a mistake because big guys like me have the money." Pigozzi recently launched his colorful men's casual wear, LimoLand, with a boutique in the Meatpacking District.
