Great beauty: Cinema inspired cosmetics
Text:Moore Sobolev, author of the telegram channel and beauty blog Fierce & Cute
In May 2017, the NARS collection comes out., created with the participation of Charlotte Gainsbourg, - you can think and say a lot about it, but the news is certainly inspiring. On this occasion, Moore Soboleva has collected for us other collections and products dedicated to cult films and legendary personalities from the world of cinema.
Lipstick Urban Decay Mrs. Mia wallace
Rock stars and revolutionaries, Urban Decay made several cinema collections: for example, the stunning beauty of the palette in honor of "Alice in Wonderland" and her sequel "Alice in Wonderland", more similar to the panorama books, and the sets of "good" and "bad" sorceress to the release of the film "Oz: Great and terrible." The mini-selection made by Wende Zomnir in honor of the 20th Anniversary of “Pulp Fiction” in 2014: the palette, lip liner, nail polish and lipstick, with which you can recreate the image of a femme fatale, was the least noticed - and the most consistent with the spirit of the brand. Mia wallace The palette and varnish can now be found only on eBay, but the lipstick was more fortunate - UD re-released it in the Vice lineup, so anyone can feel like Uma Thurman dancing a twist.
OPI Alice Through Nail Lacquers Collection
OPI are the kings of pop cultural collaborations: they collaborated on projects with Katy Perry and Mariah Carey (rhyme!), And also released limited collections before the premieres of Fifty Shades of Gray, Pirates of the Caribbean, Oz and many other films. The OPI film industry's latest hi - 9 shades dedicated to "Alice Through the Looking Glass". This is the second work of the brand with a Carroll heritage: the company also released a collection for the release of “Alice in Wonderland” in 2010, and for its time was quite revolutionary - with a large, amusing glitter.
Grès Hommage à Greta Garbo fragrance collection
The Grès perfume brand is going through hard times: more important than Cabochard’s great aldehyde fragrance, with which the brand debuted in 1959, it never released anything. As part of the reanimation of the brand in the 2000s, Grès released two olfactory trilogies dedicated to movie stars of the past: one (My Dream, My Passion, My Life) refers to Marlene Dietrich, the second (Mythos, Goddess, Sphinx) goes to Greta Garbo. It is rather a homage and dedication rather than attempts to recreate the favorite smells of the divas: it is difficult to imagine that they wear the weightless floral aromas that Grès did in their honor. Although, of course, what we know about film stars.
Collection Covergirl Star Wars
With the absence of the Covergirl brand in Russia, it was possible to come to terms - exactly before the collection at the end of 2015, which Pat McGrath, the main makeup artist of our time and a fan of Star Wars, developed for the release of "Episode VII". Golden lipsticks, nail polishes and mascaras with inspiring quotes from the film on the bottles - we just have to admire all this or ask friends to bring from abroad (it is often more difficult to order a mass market from a foreign online store than luxury and rarities). Only Star Star brand mascara from Max Factor, sister coverGirl, came to us, but only the most successful ones managed to buy it - unfortunately very little.
Lipstick nars charlotte
French visionary Francois Nars during the existence of his brand did not just refer to classic films - for example, the dusty pink tint of Dolce Vita, a tribute to the eponymous film of Fellini, is present in the NARS assortment in several textures. But Narse made the biggest confession in love for cinema in 2014, when he released the Audacious line - forty lipsticks of saturated colors and perfect texture, each of which is named after an outstanding actress. There is a ringing scarlet Rita (a shade that would be perfect for a red-haired Hayworth), a noble Fanny plum (hello to elegant Ardan) and a wine Bette addressed to the drama queen Bette Davis. Charlotte Rampling became the face of the series, to which Nars dedicated one of the most beautiful shades in the line - the bloody dark red Charlotte.
Lipstick Dolce & Gabbana Sophia N ° 1
The singers of languid southern beauty, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana could not pass by the anniversary of the grand lady and the symbol of Italian cinema Sophia Loren - and created for her a limited lipstick Sophia Loren N ° 1 (though it came out a little later than the anniversary, by the 81st year actress). Lipstick is not a fiery red, but a soft dark pink shade - it is its variations in combination with thick black eyeliner and eyelashes to the heavens that the actress wears in most of her films. Lauren not only agreed to personally withdraw for the advertising campaign, but also decorated her autograph box and bottle - of course, gold.
MAC Film Noir Lipstick
MAC has probably made more film collections than any other brand: collaborations dedicated to Maleficent, Simpsons and Trolls, each excited the make-up community at one time. The MAC experts have an amazing sense of color and relevance, therefore the funds are usually obtained not just packaged in branded bottles, but also adequately convey the spirit and mood of the picture. This was especially noticeable in the collection released in honor of the anniversary of the Rocky Horror Show of Horrors - in the make-up environment, the collection became almost as iconic as the film itself. In the permanent line of the brand kinoshtuk a little, but there is a luxurious wine-brown lipstick Film Noir - you can wear it in anticipation of future limits.
Collection Make Up For Ever Fifty Shades of Gray
The serious professional Make Up For Ever is usually not fond of all rollicking collaborations, but the erotic hit Fifty Shades of Gray made Dani Sanz break the rules. For the premiere, the brand has released several sets with relatively provocative names (Tease Me, Desire Me and Give In Me), but at the same time surprisingly everyday shades. Perhaps this is done in order to emphasize the innocence of the main character, and maybe just to add bullying to the customers' cosmetics.
Marc Jacobs The Sofia Set lipstick collection
Marc Jacobs is friends with independent film director and Hollywood it girl Sofia Coppola since the early nineties: she is photographed for his advertising campaigns and shoots videos for him, and he dresses her up and names her works in her honor. In the constant assortment of the brand there is So Sofia lipstick - bright and cheerful, like watermelon juice, but not hitting the eyes. And last Christmas, Jacobs released a whole set of lipsticks dedicated to her friend, The Sofia Set. If you wish, you can limit your collection of lip care products: the textures of Marc Jacobs are excellent, and the set includes all the right shades.
Folie à Plusieurs La Haine fragrance
Niche brand Folie à Plusieurs is a little bent over with avant-garde - on their website you feel like in a teenager's room - but at the output you get a product that is both strong and interesting. The first collection of the brand was devoted to films inspiring the creators of the brand - in the range from Antonioni's "Photo Enlargement" to the "Virgin Suicides" of the already mentioned Coppola and Gaspar Noe's Entrance to the Void. The most memorable aroma of Folie à Plusieurs is the metal aldehyde La Haine, dedicated to the black and white “Hate”, an elegant and furious film by Mathieu Kassovitsa. The smell, which is not terrible to climb into the depths of the most unfriendly area - but better still not worth it.
