What to buy in spring: 10 main collections of cosmetics
margarita virova
Calendar spring will come in a week, and with it - hope for a noticeable warming and the first sun: it's time to add bright colors, wear sparkles on weekdays and get a bronzer. About many spring collections of makeup was known last year - but now most of them finally went on sale. Meet all pink, air and sometimes experimental.
Collection of fragrances MAC Shadescents
Home sales in Russia - February 2017
Limited editions of the MAC replace each other more often than you manage to blink - this time you will also have to list a lot of interesting positions. The face of Viva Glam's charity collection was Taraji P. Henson, the star of "Empire" - a crazy pink shine with her autograph on the tube looks like a hymn to the returning 2000th and, by the way, looks great on the cheekbones. We recommend to pay attention to the extensive collection of Make-Up Artist Cosmetics, in the development of which the makeup artists stars: Kabuki, Diana Kendal and James Kaliardos took part.
The collection of fragrances Shadescents has become truly phenomenal - not the first and, obviously, not the last attempt by the brand to enter the perfumery territory. The concept implies that each of the six smells represents one of the iconic shades of lipstick, including Ruby Woo, My Heroine and Velvet Teddy. As far as they coincide, let them determine the synesthetics, but the flavors are completely self-sufficient. My Heroine's Incense and Smoky is a collection cherry: non-standard and not eager to please. What is nice, at a cost he wins in niche brands specializing in such perfumes.
Jill Stuart Sweets Couture Collection
International sales start - January 2017
The design and color scheme of Jill Stuart Beauty are always berries, flowers and a rainbow, but the spring collection especially warms the soul, because it is entirely devoted to sweets. Marshmallows, macaroons and tea that can be worn on the face and nails - a pleasure that we understand well. The collection includes six-color palettes of shadows in three different scales (there are nudes, pure bright colors and a very beautiful pastel set, iridescent with mint and lilac), powdery eyeshadows in jars (easily turn into highlighter), face stick, four-color blush, oil gloss and lipstick clear spring colors.
The most attractive are nail polishes dedicated to tea: among the shades there is yellow and green that can create a festive mood. Search for cosmetics Jill Stuart will have in the US or Japan, but if you travel, it will be an excuse to be seduced.
Collection Chanel Energies et Puretes
Home sales in Russia - February 2017
After the Coco Code collection, interesting with unexpected flowers for the spring release, another one came out, this time inspired by Asian fashion and focused on the Asian market. The brand continues the course on "rejuvenation" taken last year, and it turns out at least interesting. In addition, the great make-up artist Lucia Pika is responsible for the beauty collection Chanel (and separately for color). You can be sure that behind this pure red or pastel blue is the whole story of creation.
The collection, whose name hints at an explosion of color, includes two varnishes, three translucent lipsticks, fours of shadows (delicately pigmented, but not simple colors), blush, highlighter and lip varnishes. The most beautiful in this company are tweed blush: the design again flirts with a rich history of the house, and the leading coral and cherry can be used not only on the cheekbones.
New Make Up Forever Spring 2017
Home sales in Russia - March 2017
The brand does not have too many new products: only three, but which ones. The first one is liquid (very!) Artist Acrylip lipstick, the main idea of which is high pigment content. The color lies on the lips in an even layer with a slight sheen, the gamma is rich: from infantile pink to very dark purple. Cushion applicator is very convenient: its shape allows you to smoothly apply lipstick along the contour and adjust the density. As a radiant rouge with a wet finish, Acrylip works great too.
Two other products are from the category “for everything”: these are shining Star Lit Liquid & Powder, cream and powdery products, respectively. The liquid version is shimmering with a colorful shimmer, the product itself leaves a translucent finish and is well shaded. With dry products, you can show imagination in any direction: reflective particles in them are also small, the lightest and pink shades can be used both as shadows and as a highlighter, and also applied to lips. Among the more saturated, there is ultramarine blue - if the new product Pat McGrath does not allow you to sleep at night, look at its available option.
Too Faced Sweet Peach Collection
International Sales Start - January 2017
Repetition - the mother of learning, and sometimes good sales. The brand Too Faced has belonged to Estée Lauder since last year, but its image does not change, it's all the same youth delicacies. In the spring, the brand again turned to its stellar “peach” concept. The result is two interesting palettes: rich blush and a sprinkle of glossy oils. The Sweet Peach Glow palette, with a pinkish highlighter, blush and bronzer, will be good for tanned ones, and a set of shadows can be adapted to any complexion: it has tints of a wide spectrum adjacent to it, with or without a shimmer, nude or not. The main thing here, of course, is the same peach.
Collection Paul & Joe Les Petits Noms d'Amour
International Sales Start - January 2017
The cosmetic line of the French brand this year celebrates the fifteenth anniversary. In honor of the event, a large collection was prepared for the spring dedicated to creator brand Sophie Meshali's favorite creatures - cats. Blush with cats and cats-lipstick returned to the new spring shades. There are other products: for example, a shining base for make-up in the format of pink beads. As for the "cat" palettes, the fans of Paul & Joe have known them for a long time: this is not very strongly pigmented "refreshing" powder. Now they are presented in three colors: pink, peach and gold.
The biggest delight is caused by a puff tassel resembling cotton candy on a stick. Among the three lipsticks with cat heads, there is a playful shade of Russian Blue (this, of course, about the breed), light blue in stick and pink on the lips: it appears, reacting to the pH of the skin. We are already familiar with such products, but the most pleasant bonus, of course, is in the form factor.
Dior Color Gradation Collection
International Sales Start - January 2017
Presenting the collection, make-up artist Peter Phillips did make-up using different colors for each eye - this season we will have something really interesting. This is a set of juicy shades, revealing the theme of gradients, fashion for which shook the beauty-world for the last year. In the gradient design are presented and blush, and highlighter, and four of shadows: the most beautiful - in shades from mint to dark blue. To the assortment of Dior Addict lipsticks were added five spring flowers from fuchsia to transparent peach. The novelty for the lips is made with reference to the Asian fashion - these are matte pigments in a double-sided stick, with the help of which you can create an ombre on the lips. Spring varnishes also make pairs - we like bright lime and deep dark green.
Lancôme Absolutely Rôse Collection
Home sales in Russia - January 2017
The star product of this collection, the highlighter-rose, made a fuss before it went on sale and was immediately sold out. However, it is worth paying attention to other creations of Liza Eldridge and the company: the collection includes almost fifty shades of pink in the favorite formats of the creative director. Here and blusher of varying degrees of extremity, and the pink-brown version of the Grandiose carcass, and the Grandiose Liner in a bright pink version.
A double-sided lip stick with a cushion applicator is almost the twin of the Dior product, but it features a pencil on one side, which makes it more comfortable. Lancôme again encore: it was not without spring versions of Juicy Shaker. For the brand, not so long ago and suddenly turning into an innovative, very good story.
Yves Saint Laurent Collection The Street and I
International sales start - January 2017
YSL gathered the best of the best in their team - last year Anthony Vaccarello was appointed the brand's creative director, and in the current year Tom Pesho joined the work on the beauty segment. Vakkarello's debut with the collection of The Street and I really hints at a fresh look - the design of the palettes with a hint of graffiti looks like, sorry, cool, and the chosen concept has allowed to unfold. Here and gray asphalt, and red brick walls, and glare of daylight - while the creative did not drown out the viability of products. The best ones are lip and cheek products in bilateral Baby Doll Kiss & Blush sticks, a new incarnation of the well-known liquid product. Good and eyeliners with two-color slate and brush on the end - another super-compact product with which you can create a quick, but not boring makeup.
Collection Kiko Milano Spring 2.0
Start of sales - February 2017
The brand, known for its wide range of colors, has already been loved by many in Russia - the Kiko spring collection is worthy of special attention. The palettes and tubas were dressed in white, and the content of them is conventional spring: all products are designed to refresh and shine. Among other usual means there is a limited bronzer corrector in four shades from which you can choose the most suitable for your needs - the brush corrector is recruited a little, so the main skill of the product is not in disguise, but in light color correction. The same principle made and two highlighter. The most noteworthy and "spring" products of the release are Multicolor Glitter Eyeliner eye pencils in six radiant shades, among which are turquoise, lilac and golden.
