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 PowderFor 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 ColorPermanent 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-highlighterLucia 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 ScrubItalians 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 stickThe 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 CushionEverything 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 BlushThis 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 GlossMAC 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 GlossThe 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 StickIn 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.
