What to buy in spring: 10 delicate collections of cosmetics
Masha Vorslav
This spring is a classic textbook for cosmetic brands: almost all collections exalt pastel, girlish makeup with subtle accents. We have chosen the most interesting of them and tell you which new items you should pay attention to.
Chanel les sautoirs de coco
This spring, Chanel has two collections: bright shadows, pencils and blush fell into one, and the second one, “pearl” - everything that can be used to create a weightless makeup. The main element of Les Sautoirs de Coco is limited powder, which can serve as a highlighter and rouge. The rest of the palette adjusts: the four shadows combine light gray shades with golden and pinkish, lipsticks and lip gloss completely pink, and gel shadows - translucent pearl. You can buy this collection now on the official website of the brand.
Catrice bold softness
The provocative German brand Catrice, unlike almost the entire mass market, regularly produces seasonal collections, and one cannot but rejoice - such bold mass market brands most often have rare means with which it is interesting to paint (like these ideal cream blush). Bold Softness will appeal to those who prefer almost imperceptible makeup. It includes neutral brownish, pinkish and green shadows, matte varnishes in pleasant pastel shades, universal lipsticks and powder for correcting the tone of the face. An unusual element is a stick of solid perfume that looks like a shadow pencil. We can not fail to note that all Catrice funds this time cost no more than six euros, and you can buy them in March.
Dior glowing gardens
The Dior collection also came out small, but on it the spring approaching is really felt: on the surface of Glowing Gardens shadows, blush and powders flowers are embossed, which even pity to ruin with brushes. To do this, however, it is worth it - this time the pastel shades that are usually hard to find: yellow, green and mint - fell into the branded five-color palettes of shadows. The quality of the shadows of the brand is excellent, so these unusual shades will probably easily be beautifully applied and shaded. And for those who have long been looking for a soft and neat highlighter, it makes sense to look at the powders: they are designed for easy strobe.
MAC Flamingo Park
MAC has, as usual, several spring collections, but Flamingo Park is considered the main one. As you might guess, the bet here is made on all shades of pink (which, by the way, is quite in tune with current trends). Color lovers will have a place to roam: lipstick, gloss, blush, eye shadow, powder, varnish, glitter - all this can be illustrated on the Wikipedia page about shades of pink. Flamingo Park came out really rich, it remains only to wait for March, when she arrives in Russian stores.
Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powders
With unfading interest in strobe and highlighter as a whole, we could not fail to pay attention to the new illuminating Hourglass powder - this American brand makes it ideal. That is, a metallic shine, which many American makeup artists love, will not work with them, but the flickering of a different degree of intensity is quite. Four powders from the spring collection were included in the permanent line, so that "unearthly", "soft", "glossy" and other glow can be achieved at any time.
YSL Spring 2016
YSL decided to bet not on pink, but on green. The brand offers spring to minimally correct the tone of the face with the help of translucent powder: in the bohemian Boho Stones Couture Palette all the shades necessary for this were combined. Green will mask red, purple will turn yellow, pink will refresh the complexion, and yellow, in theory, will slightly block the blue under the eyes (although if the skin is very dry, it is better to use a cream corrector). In addition to this palette there is one more, with shimmering shadows, as well as defiant bright green mascara, a universal tint for lips and cheeks, and a pair of duochrome varnishes.
Guerlain Spring 2016
Guerlain means traditionally cost almost like a cast-iron bridge (that is, a lot), but show a person who would not appreciate at least their appearance. This time he is at a height: luxurious, but not such as to become the heroine of memes about zero, but then she will feel quite a princess. Star product of the line is similar to YSL powder for correction of complexion. It is proposed to be applied to the usual for the brand "meteorite" primer and complemented with blush, which this year has rashly "adorned" with a call to smile.
Dolce & Gabbana Rosa Look
Roses are a timeless source of inspiration for manufacturers of cosmetics, this time the flowers sang Dolce & Gabbana. The whole seasonal palette of the brand is predictably pink, except for gel shadows: they are a complex shade of cold gold, which will easily come together with all the other means from the collection. Its main addition is, perhaps, as many as eight matte pink lipsticks (those of the brand used to be only red). Almost crimson blush and four shades of safe shades are also universal - and the latter perfectly rhyme with black lacquer, which does not make Dolce & Gabbana “spring” look like a very zephyr.
Lancôme Juicy Shaker
At Lancôme we were not even interested in the main collection, but in the additional one. The description of Juicy Shaker sounds like a fairy tale: the two-phase formula of these lip gloss combines a highly pigmented component and a caring oil that will take care of the skin of the lips. The applicator is also unusual, the brand calls it a cushion (apparently not in a hurry to part with the title of the first luxury brand, which adopted this technology from Koreans). In the appendage - a rich selection of shades, among which there is even blue - and, of course, it causes the greatest interest.
Giorgio Armani Runway 2016
Giorgio Armani presented a strict, compared to the others, collection. The main international make-up artist of the brand, Linda Cantello, suggests wearing a silver haze (this technique is one of the favorites of Giorgio Armani, and models often appear on the catwalks with such makeup) and do not distract attention from it by other means. For this, liquid lipstick was made solid, and the blush, even though at first glance they seem bright, can be shaded into a subtle natural blush. At the same time, the lacquer nevertheless released bright, red - in order not to get bored at all.
