Beauty: Yves Saint Laurent Christmas 2011 Makeup
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.
Gareth Pugh for MAC Makeup Collection
Gareth Pugh for MAC makeup is where high fashion meets beauty. The designer has collaborated with the cosmetic force to bring you a collection he describes as “strong and mysterious,’ as well as “fragile and ethereal.” This line includes shadows, lip gloss, powders and fake lashes. You won’t have too long to wait because it will be in stores November 23.
Tom Ford Beauty Collection Ad Campaign
Tom Ford Beauty Collection has a new campaign starring model Lara Stone alongside the designer himself. She sports dramatic eye makeup in the ads, it was all applied with a nod to the 1970′s. Her green eye shadow is an update on the infamous blue brow. The line showcases its versatility with bold and neutral color palettes. These images have an alluring quality, I like that she focuses on the camera as he focuses on her.
Givenchy Beauty Ad Campaign for Fall 2011
Givenchy Beauty has given a preview of its Fall 2011 campaign, and it spells drama. The lips are a bold berry and the eyes are exaggerated and dark. This ad is all about high contrast, the model’s hair is jet black against her pale skin. I also appreciate the juxtaposition of her white lace blouse alongside her almost goth-like makeup application.
Watch: Kate Moss’ Dior Addict Lipstick Commercial
Kate Moss stars in the new Dior Addict lipstick commercial. The 90-second spot depicts a glamorous lifestyle, much like the supermodel’s own. She’s surrounded by wealth, luxury and paparazzi. You will also get another look at Dior’s Spring 2011 collection as Moss takes in the runway show from the front row. This backdrop is to convey the richness and opulence of this lip color.
Victoria’s Secret: Christian Siriano Make-up
Project Runway returns to the airwaves this week, so it seems fitting to highlight Christian Siriano’s make-up line at Victoria’s Secret. Siriano is the winner of season 4 on the reality hit. He worked as a make-up artist when he first moved to New York, and now he is a designer. Not bad, a make-up artist and a fashion designer. It obviously pays to be versatile in this economy. The lip glosses are very tempting; I’m more of a lip gloss and mascara kind of girl, but he has bronzers, eye shadows, eyeliners and the like. Now we can get our push-up bras and Christian Siriano’s lip gloss in one shot. It works for me.
