Sunburn and metal: 10 radiant summer collections of cosmetics
margarita virova
This year’s summer collections are inspiring: even as part of the tropical motifs that have captured everything, there is a place for unique products and design fantasies. In general, the celebration of hedonism and variety of textures has turned out - we show the most beautiful, interesting and fashionable makeup collections for the coming summer.
Nars
Orgasm collection
In our wishlist, dedicated to the liquid version of the legendary blush, we have already said that a fantastic summer collection of various means, each of which is made in the Orgasm shade, will soon reach Russia. In particular, it was repeated in the form of a multifunctional stick, another brand hit, as well as in lipstick, gloss and varnish. Promovideo collection - the triumph of "sex sells"; for those who love more brightly, several tools are duplicated in the Super Orgasm shade, and the blush themselves have acquired a limited version in a ingeniously simple and stylish package.
Tom ford
Soleil Summer SS17
If you remember Tom Ford's dazzling winter collection, which pleased you with snow-white cases and tassels, you will easily recognize the motifs of the summer edition: this time the color scheme embodies hot white sand, scorching sun and shining tan. A lot of bronzing agents, including a “fast” and light gel in a white tube, already checked lips and cheeks and a compact kabuki brush. The most obscurely interesting product of the collection is the shadows in two textures, metallic cream and shimmer powder, which can be worn separately or combined. Mousse metallic from previous collections of the brand worked out very well, so this two-story jar is also eager to try.
MAC
Min Liu
The amazing collection of the prolific brand, created in collaboration with Chinese designer Min Liu, is worthy of mention despite the fact that Russia will not reach it. Last year's promising finalist LVMH Prize is interested in traditional culture, and this could not help but reflect on the cosmetic collaboration: lipstick caps are decorated with tassels, and the universal glowing powder resembles a fragment of a picture. As part of the summer program, the brand also launches the Fruity Juicy collection - a whole sea of bronzers, highlighters, palettes and lipsticks in packages with bright tropical flowers (there are also brushes with the appropriate design!).
Urban decay
Jean michel basquiat
Alas, another outstanding collection of Urban Decay, which in Russia will not be - and which is expected to be bought in the American online store (and in the UK there is still, cheers). This makeup is worth hunting for: grunge lipsticks and famous gel pencils in three bright shades, palettes of shadows and blush with prints based on basque art. Even if the shadows of a complex green color are not included in your schedule, you really want to keep such a work of beauty-art on hand on some special occasion.
Ysl
Solar pop
In the luxurious summer collection, the star was a "predatory" bronzer with a pattern in the form of sand dunes (based on last year’s release) and a lid, the finish of which imitates snake skin. Metal insanity also affected YSL Beauty: the collection includes two shades of liquid metal shadows, golden and purple. The brand again reveals the urban theme: all the textures and colors seem to be made for parties and festivals, and the discreet asphalt-gray lacquer appears in the summer set. Small, but very detailed collection.
Givenchy
Gypsophila
The new collection is dedicated to gypsophila - a grassy unpretentious plant with white flowering that can be found in the fields, mountains and flower beds. And now also in the form of a detailed embossing on the surface of the Healthy Glow Powder Floral Impression. In addition to him, I would like to mention products for the eyes: this is blue mascara and the upper lash coating in a grass-green shade. With the latest novelty, there is little clarity, but we hope that this product will benefit the emerging variety in eyelash makeup.
Bobbi brown
Follow the sun
The Christmas collection with its gourmet chocolate-wine theme gives way to an energetic summer - it is inspired by travels to Maui, Antigua and Santa Barbara. The universal highlighter in the stick is already presented in eight shades, and the powder-bronzer - in three, so finding the right "natural" (according to the precepts of Bobby Brown) combination will be easy. All products shine and shimmer: in addition to the lip gloss, a product for the eyelids was added to the collection - liquid shadows with a glossy finish in the favorite pencil format. It is noticeable that Bobbi Brown master the tendencies to make-up “on the run”: even resistant everyday liner pencils are sufficiently soft and plastic so that they can be quickly applied and shaded with a finger.
Christian louboutin
Metalinude
Christian Louboutin and the team make clear claims - they say, why do we just have another luxury brand of decorative cosmetics? But, in fairness, the products at Christian Louboutin are obtained at least visible and in compliance with corporate identity. At this time, packed in heel bottles were not only varnishes, but also liquid lipsticks with a metal finish - all bronze, golden and very rich. The nude that we deserve: lipstick, among other things, can be worn around the neck like a pendant, but this is for the most fearless.
Giorgio armani
Life is a cruise
Armani Beauty also has an obligatory embossed bronzer palette, as well as the same landscape made with shadows and Eyes To Kill eyeliner in three colors, black, blue and dusty pink. Recently, the brand is trying to show the class in terms of preparing and creating tone: many products, like the new Power Fabrique, have added sun-protection filters. The Maestro liquid product line was replenished with a bronzer and a primer of weightless textures and with a promise to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun - it’s nice that today makeup doesn’t only want to "decorate".
Chanel
Les beiges
In the summer, Chanel chose a win-win strategy, satisfying our desire for clean, radiant skin, and the Les Beiges collection is all about it. Her main character is a foundation-gel cream, which is another luxury variation of the cushion, but quite justified: an ultra-light remedy imperceptibly falls on the skin, leveling it and making it shine, and for a better result it offers a convenient and compact brush to it. Another nude product is powder for tanned people with a light degree of protection from the sun, and for traveling and just restless the brand created a rouge, sticky, airy and suitable for different purposes.
