Kardashian Kolors Nail Polishes

Here comes the long-expected Nicole nail polish collection by the Kardashians and OPI, and it is unostentatiously announced as Kardashian Kolors.

It is a set of 14 colors (yes, some of the dictionaries still give the old-fashioned spelling!) that are rather predictable but look good. The outstanding feature is the names that embrace the whole family in a spate of funny wordplay like Sealed With a Kris, Kim-pletely In Love, Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam, or kolorful Rainbow in the S-Kylie. Hard Kourt Fashionista and Kendall on the Katwalk are descriptive and memorable, tempting us to choose by name rather than by kolor, but at the price of $8 each you can just get the whole pack.

There may be another attempt quite soon to misplace some more c’s on the part of the enterprising family – it becomes an unpopular letter in the fashion alphabet, no?

Kate Moss to Launch a Makeup Collection

Kate Moss has been collaborating with the British Rimmel makeup brand for 10 years, but now she has decided to not just be the face of the brand, but to launch her own makeup collection for Rimmel and present it by herself.

This is the first makeup collection created by the model. Previously, Kate was invited to create her own line of clothes (the TopShop brand had been working with Kate Moss for a few seasons, but last year Kate broke up the partnership) Actually, Kate spent too much time as the face of the brand during the last 10 years of cooperation and loyalty to the Rimmel brand, so the model surely deserves her own project.

The news about Kate’s creation of her own makeup collection has not been formally announced yet. It is expected that this will happen in a few weeks, since the packaging design has not been completed yet. This was reported by the representatives of Coty.

The makeup by Rimmel and Kate will appear on the shelves of London’s shops in September.

Makeup Collection by Tom Ford

Fired up by cosmetics since around the age of 14, at 40 plus Tom Ford is surely on the peak of his career as cosmetics creator. He’s already done a great deal towards betterment of the skin with his lipstick line (enhanced moisturizing and pigmenting), but that was only the beginning! Now he has really come out fine and large with a new beauty and skincare line.The official announcement also says the collection is to include a variety of lip glosses, eye shadows, brow tint pens, foundation, primer, oil-based serum, and, of course, a cleanser. Ford added in his talk with WWD that the collection was designed to be downright practical. Keep an eye open for oncoming Ford!

Hottest Makeup and Fashion Trend

The hottest color blocking trend has entered our lives this spring fast and loud. This trend features combinations of large blocks of color (for example, blouse+skirt, pants+blazer), no prints, but colors are to be the most vivid and sometimes can match in tone.

The trendiest color block combinations are:

• Orange+ Purple
• Orange + Fuchsia or Magenta
• Blue + Green
• Blue + Blue

The key aspect of the trend is that the blocks of color are to be sufficiently large.

However, any new fashion trend never exists in vacuum, but rather it usually spills into accessories and makeup trends. The world of accessories has also welcomed the idea of combining local bright colors. The trendy color pairs can be extended to the combination of shoes+ bag.

The makeup artists are not ignoring this trend either. The color block trend was already part of the nail fashion last year, when the hottest trend was to paint each fingernail into a different color. Lips makeup is currently welcoming this trend as well.

Note, that while nail polish lasts quite some time, you will probably need a good primer in order to keep the color on your lips longer. Plus… you will need to keep your mouth open?

Lancome Color Design Makeup Collection

Color Design from Lancome, the remarkably bright summer collection of makeup products, always has something special to offer. This season, the collection presents a line of new eye shadow palettes, which can ”light up” any woman’s eyes!

Each palette features five colors. Makeup artists at Lacnome believe that this is exactly how much you will need in order to create a bright look this Summer 2011 season. This is a new generation of eyeshadows, which provide glow and are easily applied with a light silken touch.

The brand offers twelve variations of those palettes. Each palette has a large mirror and a comfortable double applicator. The makeup is guaranteed to stay bright and glowing for eight hours – the whole day.

Each palette contains five colors, which are applied in five steps to create one stylish look: 1. Basic shade, 2. Medium tone, 3. Darker tone, 4. Highlighter, 5. Liner

The five colors will help you create a great look for the day or an elegant night. Here is a quick master class from Lancome (the numbers correspond to the name of the shades)

The collection’s ad campaign is by no means less eye catching. The famous fashion-photographer, Mario Testino, was in charge of the photoshoot. Daria Werbowy, who has been the official face of Lancome’s cosmetics and perfumes for several years now, Arlenis Sosa, and Elettra Wiedemann were chosen to be the models for this campaign. The photo is indeed luxurious!

Salma Hayek to Launch Makeup Collection Nuance

Salma Hayek has long been intriguing the journalists with the news. And finally it has been officially confirmed that there will be a new makeup line by Hayek. In August, there will be the debut sale of the new line products.

About 100 items of decorative makeup, means of skin and hair care have been scheduled for release in total and are already in production. The collection is called Nuance, and the products represent the mass-market. However, some people predicted that those had to be luxury products, alluding to the actress’s connection to the luxury market (Salma’s husband is the manager of Pinault-Printemps-Redoute, the group of luxury companies).

Salma says she just wants to create a better product and to give everyone access to the better things. When Hayek speaks about the new makeup, she knows what she speaks about. For a long time Salma herself has been a fan of good makeup and understands it perfectly well.

The fact that the makeup collection was created with the assistance and pieces of advice given by Salma’s mother, a cosmetologist by profession, inspires confidence that the new products are of high quality. Thanks to her mother, Salma has introduced in her Nuance makeup such rare ingredients as the bark of rare trees from Mexico and Brazil. This extract restores the red blood cells and acts as a powerful anti-age agent.

It is naturally a great pleasure that Salma Hayek does not only produce makeup, it is her commercial image as well.

The prices for the new products are expected to be affordable, ranging from $ 7.99 to $ 19.99. And the first sales will take place in August only in CVS so far.

ArtDeco Glow Bronzing Summer 2011 Makeup Collection

It is difficult to remain calm while describing this collection. It’s a real masterpiece! Emerald, turquoise and aquamarine hues combined with bronze and brass take us back to the days of ancient Egypt. A woman who has had at least one article from the new collection of ArtDeco Glow Bronzing makeup can conider herself to be an Egyptian queen.

There are a large number of aquamarine hues for eyes and nails, and all of them are pure and original. Perhaps such clear turquoise and azure colours have been presented for the first time during the upcoming summer season. And a combination of shades of sand and the blue sea is a real summer harmony.

The collection includes the following makeup products.

Bronzer powder, compact in design package. Equipped with an SPF 15 and “water-resistant”. It exists in two shades: Sun Glow Bronzing and Sunset Bronzing

There are six shadows as an unmatched design package. There are powdery hues with beads of two colors inside, and powdery hues with a mother of pearl.

Makeup for Fall 2011 from Paris Fashion Week

By the end of Paris Fashion Week, certain conclusions can be drawn about the work of makeup artists, art directors, designers, and models. Some critic called the latest Paris Fashion Week a bit boring in terms of makeup. But no, the point is that everything was reserved and applicable for everyday makeup. The color was reasonably used, and the hairdos were natural, light, and with a touch of “French chic” as they were dubbed by observers. You bet! It’s Paris after all! It permeates everything with its unique spirit.

Nina Ricci: The Cutest Image

The display has been presented by Nina Ricci. The style and chic, light hair, a few strands of hair collected in a half-knot behind, soft matte lips, and a warm natural eye makeup.

The “Frenchest” Image: Chanel

Certainly, it is Chanel. This time, we pay attention to surprisingly natural hair tucked away in a free elegant knot, rather than to the graphite shades and metallic nail polish.

Chloe: Most Harmonious Makeup

The Chloe showing was oriented on the 1970-s: long hair, neutral lips, and accented eyes which are relevant to any season and any time of the day.

Lanvin: Most Interesting Eye Makeup

What Lanvin has shown is not quite the cat’s eye, and not quite “Smokey”. It is a completely modern combination.

Mugler: The Best Theatricality

Of course, Mugler show, which presented Lady Gaga herself on the catwalk, was distinguished by strong images. Female models looked like birds emphasizing the ideas of Mugler designer.

Vionnet: The Best Color Combination

The Vionnet makeup artists have pleased the audience with a combination of bright and succulent colors. The girls seem to be an illustration of the famous Dymkovo toys, with their bright pink blush, orange lips, and colored eye shades. It looks fresh and harmonious on the pale skin.

Viktor & Rolf: The Weirdest Makeup

Viktor & Rolf was really surprising. Red faces, as if to parody the allergenic cosmetics or to remind that every girl should be a bit shy …

The Unhealthiest Part of Paris Fashion Week

This is not about makeup. This is about the strangeness of Paris Fashion Week. Against the background of the public tobacco sale being banned in the UK, Paris is still very liberal in its attitude to smoking. One can even practice catwalking with a cigarette in the mouth. And these are not simple models, but celebrities instead, who frequently serve as a role model for many people. Lady Gaga entered the catwalk with a cigarette during Mugler show, and Kate Moss did the same during Louis Vuitton fashion show. Okay, let the girls do with their health whatever they want, but we must warn: smoking is the easiest way to lung cancer and wrinkles.

Les Fleurs D’ete de Chanel Summer 2011 Makeup Collection

Chanel prepares a summer makeup collection Les Fleurs D’ete de Chanel. The official premiere is on May 20, 2011. The first information about the collection appeared, and the most important thing one can point out and identify easily is the optimistic and rich shades of nail polish.

Summer is just around the corner, so we can plan the purchase of new colors, or their equivalents. Because, as practice shows, all the shades, which Chanel produces, become hits.

Thus, among the summer novelties there are three shades:

• pink nude
• mimosa, a bright yellow-gold
• morning rose, medium-pink shade.

I dare say that exactly “mimosa” will be a must-have of the season Summer 2011.

The collection of three new lip gloss Levres Scintillantes:

• Aurore
• Pink Peony
• Pensee

Mosaic bronzer and a rouge in two variations:

• Bronze Rose (for pale skin)
• Bronze Corail

More information about the shadows and other products will come later.
