MAKE UP FOR EVER · Watertone Skin-Perfecting Tint
MAKE UP FOR EVER has just launched WATERTONE SKIN-PERFECTING TINT, and there’s plenty to love about this product. Part of a new generation of foundation formulas, this is less about full-on coverage and more about letting your natural skin shine — and that feature alone sits absolutely within my wheelhouse.
CHANEL · Backstage Beauty Fall-Winter 2021/22 Haute Couture
It seemed only fitting that CHANEL’s recent Fall/Winter 2021-2022 Haute Couture show was held at the Palais Galleria, City of Paris Fashion Museum, especially considering that paintings from the Belle Époque (19th century) were the inspiration behind the collection, in particular works from two female artists — Berthe Morisot and Marie Laurencin. Interestingly, both makeup and hair had a strong edge, an effect that toned down the softness of the pieces and gave the looks an overall rock & roll vibe which I personally found so fresh and, well … cool.
CHANEL · Factory 5 Collection
To celebrate the 100th birthday of CHANEL’s iconic N° 5 fragrance, the brand created the Factory 5 Collection, a [super] limited edition group of 17 products, all housed in unexpected packaging. With a wink towards Andy Warhol’s famous “factory” and his artful immortalization of everyday objects (his Campbell’s Soup Can art instantly comes to mind), CHANEL adapted that concept with this collection, showing that N° 5 can transform even the ordinary.
Armani Beauty · Lip Power
As if timed with the world finally opening up, Armani Beauty recently launched Lip Power Longwear Vivid Color Lipstick — which is like saying “get your lips ready, because masks are coming off ” … or, that’s my creative interpretation. Styled in keeping with the Italian luxury brand’s sophisti-sexy look, these lippies pack a statement even before you take them out of the tube. I mean, just look at them.
NARS · 2021 Orgasm On The Beach Collection
Inspired by their cult-fave blush, NARS has released the limited edition Orgasm On The Beach Collection for summer 2021. And even if the name weren’t enough to seduce you (but I mean … COME on …), or if you’ve yet to try your first NARS Orgasm, then here’s your chance to get it on. Ok … I’ll stop with the double-entendres now (maybe).
