Yves Saint Laurent launched its Christmas 2011 makeup collection just in time for the holiday season. The beauty line is complete with eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip glosses and nail colors. Think smoky eyes, shimmering lips and black polishes. They go perfectly with YSL’s classic tuxedo; they’re essentially evening wear for your face and hands. It’s just a stylish reminder that fashion never takes a holiday.

Emily Blunt is the new face of the Yves Saint Laurent Opium fragrance campaign, and the first ad has made its debut. It feautures the actress lying down on opulent pillows as she clutches the scent next to her heart. I love the rich hues of her hair, and background in auburn, gold, and rust; they perfectly complemented the bottle. She wore a fitted black blazer, and a statement necklace. Her makeup was gorgeous, a neutral lip color was met with dramatic eyes.

Salma Hayek covers the September 2011 issue of Allure magazine in Yves Saint Laurent.  She brought the sexy library look to a new level in a plunging V- neckline cardigan, and a wool pencil skirt.  Even her hair took on the alluring vibe of her outfit, as her bangs fell in her face.  I loved the restraint on her makeup, they pulled back, and gave her neutral colored lips, while playing up the eyes.

Rihanna covers the September 2011 mega issue of “Glamour” magazine in a white halter top and dark sequin pants. Her red hair is vibrant, almost electric in the image. The editorial inside had pieces from Marc Jacobs to Yves Saint Laurent. You can see the high energy from this shoot, and it makes veiwing the photos a pleasurable experience. A wardrobe of bright colors in red, yellow and teal gave this feature a lightness that draws you in.

Leighton Meester covers the April 2011 issue of L’Officiel China in a sexy YSL halter jumpsuit.  The look is from Yves Saint Laurent’s Spring 2011 collection; she wore it in vibrant orange with a gold metal chokerat the neckline.  Her editorial was a feast of jewel-tone hues like emerald, amethyst andsapphire.  Lanvin, Gucci and Fendi were also included in the full magazine spread.  Primary colors are a refreshing sight during the spring and summer months because they are often dominated by soft pastels.  These looks were vivid and cheerful, exactly what the doctor ordered during a week of continuous clouds and rain.

Penelope Cruz covers the June 2011 issue of British GQ in Yves Saint Laurent.  The white feathered coat has a lot of drama and flare, and is from the Fall 2011 collection.  She looks like a bombshell with glamorous hair and flawless makeup.  Even her pose is sensual as she arches her back and bares a shoulder. 

Emmy Rossum was lovely in an emerald green Yves Saint Laurent gown at the Met Opera last night in New York City.  The color was a winner because it was just right for spring.  It had elegant draping in the bodice and throughout the length of the skirt.  She opted for even more color in the purple platformed heels, and a green satin clutch in a darker hue than her dress.  Emmy’s belt was also purple, but the red stones within it kept her from being too matchy.  I especially loved the bright red lips.  Of course the center-parted hair with beautiful curls was also gorgeous.  This look worked because she was not afraid to play with color.

Rebecca Hall was sleek in a floor-length Yves Saint Laurent gown at the Met Opera in New York City.  The beauty was in the bold red color and the simplicity of the design.  It sported long sleeves and a crew neckline.  She wore no jewelry aside from the bejeweled belt worn low on her waist.  A black pair of peeped-toe sandals and a black evening back completed her look.  Her hair was parted in the center and relaxed curls rested on her shoulders.  I get a 1970′s vibe from this look, but it is perfectly updated for this decade.

Olivia Munn wore a strapless Yves Saint Laurent to the Met Opera last night.  The black velour dress fell to the floor with a mini train.  It had a waist band with gold trim that cinched accentuated her figure.  She accessorized with a pair of black elbow-length gloves and evening bag.  Olivia went without jewelry, though a gold necklace with a pendant minus the gloves would have been more youthful.  This was a classic and elegant look.  Her hair was shiny and styled in a modern bob.
