What to do in spring: 10 interesting collections of cosmetics

Text: Moore Sobolev, authoring the telegram channel Fierce & Cute

Spring Cosmetic Collections - the most joyful, besides, they appear here in the midst of winter, when the majority of beauty geeks have time to yearn for their explosive colors and unusual textures. We chose the most beautiful, bright and optimistic options.

Dior lolli'glow

On sale in stores "Riv Gosh"

Dior 5 Couleurs Eye Shadow

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Lip Balm

Highlight Dior Diorskin Nude Luminizer Compact Face Powder

For several years Peter Phillips got into the role of the creative director of makeup Dior - and achieved what has become almost an incarnation of Christian Dior. Phillips produces airy pastel collections that can be easily imagined as a make-up analogue of the "new look" dresses: lots of lights, bright accents, a common puppet image. The most entertaining figures of the Lolli'Glow collection did not reach us: blush, colored liners and nail polishes were released only for the Asian market. But it is possible to choose one of two palette of shadows in the colors of the pastry glaze or a beautiful highlighter - without glitter, but with an even noticeable shine. The main bet in the collection is on lip products: the brand has released new shades of the best-selling Lip Glow and Lip Maximizer and offers to mix them.

Givenchy the power of color

On sale in stores "Ile de Beaute"

Eyeliner Dual Liner The Power Of Color

Blush Givenchy Le Prisme Blush The Power Of Color

Lipstick Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto The Power Of Color

Permanent make-up art director of the brand, Nicolas Dezhenn, is able to ingeniously invent visual concepts - be it a case, the tool itself or the selection of colors. The Power of Color minimalist collection is built on a sudden balance of pink and orange - there are two declared shades, a tangerine lip balm and red-orange lipstick. Perhaps the most interesting novelty is the double liner, which simultaneously works with eyeliner and cream shadows, drawing a thin line of one color at the ciliary edge, and moving the eyelid with a different shade. It is necessary to adjust to the technique, but the tool and make-up with it look very entertaining.

Chanel Vision d'Asie: L'Art du Détail

On sale in stores "Riv Gosh"

Palette of shadows Les 9 Ombres

Rouge Allure Liquid Powder Matte Lipstick

Baume Essentiel Moisturizing Stick-highlighter

Lucia Pika, the third year of driving makeup at Chanel, completely changed the mood of seasonal collections - and only for the better. Pika loves to devote limited editions to her travels and after a color visit to California (Travel Diary, 2017) and to the south of Italy (Neapolis, 2018) turned her attention to Asia. The collection, as always with Peaks, draws a perfect full image, but not a lively Asian girl, but fantasies on the subject: wet skin that reflects light (Baume Essentiel stick, which creates a soft glare without gloss), bright powdered lips (Rouge Allure Liquid Powder, liquid matte lipstick with special effects), shiny nails (Le Vernis in two shades) and eyelids painted as lacquer miniature (Les 9 Ombres palette of shadows).

Kiko Milano Waterflower Magic

On sale in the online store

Blush Waterflower Magic Blush

The tonal tool in the drops of the Waterflower Magic Foundation Pigment Drops

Facial scrub Waterflower Magic Face Scrub

Italians Kiko Milano usually love energetic color and brilliance, but the spring collection was made most delicate and watercolor: a gradient on blush, pastel brushes and a general feeling of weightlessness. An interesting is the tonal tool in the drops, which promises the ability to vary the degree of coverage, and dense vinyl lipsticks - such tools traditionally work out Kiko Milano very well. The collection, by the way, includes not only makeup, but also a bit of basic care: a scrub, a mask and a shine effect cream.

Clarins Selfie Ready

On sale in the online store

Ready In A Flash Palette For Eye and Eyebrow Makeup

Mascara Wonder Perfect Mascara 4D

Blush and highlighter in bilateral Glow 2 Go stick

The famous brand specializing in care actively develops its decorative line and makes it more successful and successful every year. The spring collection came out much more fun than is usually the case with elegant Clarins - the double-sided Glow 2 Go stick with a holographic highlighter and pink blush, and a Ready In a Flash eye and eyebrow stick with a flirty, again holographic cap are especially good. At the same time, the brand launched a large collection of eye makeup products - the Wonder Perfect Mascara 4D mascara, updated cream shadows in three textures (including glitter) and waterproof pencils.

It's skin be a flower

Available at K-Beauty Club

Cushion Base Be A Flower Tone-up Cushion

Shadows It's Skin Be A Flower Palette

Cushion Base Be A Flower Tone-up Cushion

Everything is not easy with Korean brands, including with the definition of seasonality of collections - Be a Flower in Russia is declared as a spring limit, but the official website is silent on this. In any case, the newbies have a design that fits into the seasonal canons, and the purpose: the collection includes two basic but not dullly composed palettes of shadows and two couchons. The last It's Skin is positioned as a leveling base, but they sparkle like the most desperate highlighters - the brand suggests applying the tool with generous strokes to all areas reflecting light for the effect of moist healthy skin.

Nars wanderluxe

Available from April 2019

Shadows Matcha Single Eyeshadow

Afterglow Lip Balm Lip Balm

Blush Mosaic Glow Blush

This time, the lover of large forms, Francois Nars, made the seasonal collection quite small, but bright and sonorous - only three means, but all interesting. The main star is the new Mosaic Glow Blush in a Fireclay shade: highlighter, bright coral blush and bronzer in one relief palette, which even a little touch will touch with a brush (but the pattern, apparently, will last for a long time). Matcha’s bright lime shades and a transparent smoothing lip balm are offered to the palette - in fact, nothing more is needed for sunny spring make-up.

MAC In Monochrome

On sale in the online store

Blush for the face Powder Blush

Glitter Crumbly Sequins

Lipglass Lip Gloss

MAC releases about fifty collections a year, so seasonal brand launches can be called conditional - as a rule, there are several of them, and for convenience the journalists consider the largest collection to be the “main” collection. The central launch of MAC this spring is perfect in its simplicity and performance of In Monochrome: the brand picked up six best-selling lipsticks and invented a complete make-up line for each of them (rouge, matte and shiny shadows, lip gloss and crumbly glitter). This, by the way, is not a new format for the brand - a few years ago, MAC launched the Shadescents, flavors dedicated to the main fondant shades (four of the six coincided with the current heroines of In Monochrome), and last year a collaboration with Puma came out.

Catrice glow patrol

Available from March 2019

Glowy Highlighter Highlighter

Glitter Lip Scrub Lip Scrub

Glowy Lip Booster Lip Gloss

The main suppliers of budget shine in the spring release a small collection of Glow Patrol: powdery pinkish highlighter, a shining makeup base, pearls in which greet Guerlain, and lip gloss, which the brand for some reason called a "sparkling booster." In addition, the collection includes a lip scrub and two synthetic brushes, which are traditionally obtained from the brand very worthy - and allow you to save money on expensive counterparts from large brands.

Lancôme Café Bonheur

On sale in the online store

Blush in Capitals Blush in

Lipstick L'Absolu Rouge

Blush-stick Teint Idole Ultra Wear Stick

In the previous collections, Lisa Eldridge most often played out fantasies on the theme of the rose, the main symbol of Lancôme, and this time the most remarkable thing in the collection is a funny jar with rouge, which consist of individual letters (they form, of course, the word "Lancôme") . It is unlikely that it was provided by the authors, but they resemble letters-rouge alphabet macaroni, with which many of us were entertained in childhood - however, this association does not make the tool worse, but, on the contrary, touches. In addition to rouge and new shades of lipstick, the collection included a palette of shadows in pastel shades - no basic dull colors, only shine and play.
