Fall 2011 Makeup Trends from New York

New York Fashion Week has presented the Fall 2011 images. As for makeup, there might be not so many discoveries. However, there are some interesting ideas to be noted. They can be recalled in late summer when we go shopping for the autumn season.

There has been a very nice display by Jason Wu who is known to be the U.S. first lady Michelle Obama’s favorite designer. His duet “golden + aquamarine” in a combination with “the new French manicure” (with golden hues as well) made a hit with the audience. And this style is remarkable indeed.

Makeup by Jason Wu

After several seasons with brown and gold being the dominant shades, a suggestion of using eye makeup in bright pink or even fuchsia colors still looks interesting and fresh.

Makeup by Ruffian

The images of the 1970-s are being extremely fashionable. Glossy red lips, smoky eyes, loose and wavy hair.

If you underline just the lips then you should choose a dim red hue, as the one presented by Luca Luca.

Kate Moss for Dior Addict Lipstick

While the media spread around the news of Kate Moss’s engagement with a rocker Jimmy Hince, the principal beauty news featuring Kate is no less impressive. Moss appeared in Paris not for nothing, and not only for the betrothal. She signed an agreement with Dior, the most famous fashion brand in the world. What will the famous model be advertising?

Do you remember that in October 2010 during Paris Fashion Week a photo of Kate where she was painting her lips with the famous Dior Addict Lipstick, was featured on all the glossy pages? Even the lipstick shade was identified – Charmed Pink No. 578. The Dior Beauté advertisers could not miss such an event, and it became known that the 37-year-old Kate Moss had been invited to become the new face of Dior Beauté makeup brand, and she will, of course, advertise a line of Dior Addict lipstick.

Advertisings featuring Moss will appear in May issues of gloss fashion magazines.

A little intrigue remains. Kate appears to be a fan of pink and pale lipstick shades, while lipstick advertising involves bright and rich colors (these are the most frequently selected ones for models advertising lipstick).

And the Dior Addict lipstick is itself associated with rich red. After all, Dior Addict lipstick is a line of special products with brightly pigmented shades, a creamy texture and a lasting formula. The line includes a few sparkling light-reflecting shades similar to lip gloss. Could these very shades be on Kate’s new advertising?

Makeup Lessons for Jobless French Women

Still, French women are special. And the government of France knows this, and fully supports the beauty of their ladies. For example, one of the support programs for unemployed women in the country deals not only with re-education and psychological comfort, but also offers to study the art of makeup.

The National Employment Agency for the government of France organized free of charge courses in daily makeup for the unemployed French women, as reported by BBC. It is assumed that such courses will give unemployed women a new impetus to cope with depression, support them, and help them look competitive when seeking employment.

A very interesting solution, isn’t it? Of course, many now think that unemployed women should rather be provided with a job… Or not? Do you think such care for women and understanding of women’s interests are necessary?

Do Women Start to Age

True, none of us is getting any younger, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we are getting older, does it? Even if, sometimes unexpectedly, we pass on from being young to being aged. There ought to be a breaking point somewhere along the line where spring’s freshness turns to summer’s mellowness.

Those cunning Japanese boffins done and nailed down the turning point. Their findings say (and we came to know that courtesy of Sloane Crosley’s latest W contribution) that women turn the bend and pay the tribute to age when they are 35.09 years old, that is, within the first month after the 35th birthday.

The reason why Japanese great brains came after that particular piece of knowledge was that they belong with cult skincare brand SK-II. The thing is not only that ladies begin to acquire the gloss of maturity once they’ve stepped over the 35.09 threshold, but that the skin’s resilience has also worn considerably thinner and less ready to withstand the strife of living. From then on with every passing day you have to help the skin to hold its own against lines that grow more pronounced and deepening wrinkles. And the same team of researchers holds out the perfect remedy to that in the form of SK-II’s Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream in an attractive package.

Whether the 35.09 borderline is universal or may be (slightly) different outside Japan, still it’s the time when we are bound to find our own bets brand to take care of our skin. While Ms. Crosley puts her faith with SK-II products, all of us are working against the clock with the help of other companies on the vigil for the eternal beauty. So what is your answer to keep your skin fresh as long as we can manage to? What anti-aging products help take years off your face and hands so visibly that you would like to share your skin care experience?

Paris Hilton’s The Passport Fragrances Collection

A more active celeb than Paris Hilton is hard to find. While she spends her time relaxing in warm countries and having fun with her friends, her business is being carried out on its own. For example, bottles for her new perfume have been created. Paris decided to deliver the fragrances wholesale and released a collection of perfumes The Passport.

The perfume bottles are rather peculiar. It looks as if Hilton intended to sell the fragrance to girls no older than 14. However, Paris herself likes to feel like a “little princess”, with a pink dress and a crown on – so, her fans might want that, as well.

The fact that the fragrance is now “packed” was announced by Hilton, as always, via Twitter:

“First Look at my newest fragrance coming out soon. The Passport Collection by Paris Hilton”

Of course, this is not Paris’s first experience on the beauty market. She has released half a dozen fragrances. The latest are Fairy Dust, 2008 and Siren, 2009.
