10 bright autumn cosmetics collections
margarita virova
We hope that this autumn will come still later, despite the fact that autumn makeup collections appear on the usual schedule. Every year, seasonal sets are becoming less and less seasonal: the brands invent the reason for the holiday, often disagreeing on obvious associations. We show the most remarkable collections of this fall - we are waiting for the ubiquitous metallic, lipstick authorship Nicky Minaj and other joys.
Kiko Milano Fall Collection
Democratic Italian brand turned twenty years old, and she celebrates her anniversary with fireworks. Autumn collection is dedicated to Venice, the main colors are gold and blue, almost all the textures shine and shimmer, a lot of pampering like a cloth mask in black lace for the area around the eyes.
Especially good are crisp and incredibly velvety metallic shadows, all completely in deep dark shades. This is a variation of MAC Spellbinder that excited everyone last year - thanks to the magnetic packaging, a beautiful pattern is preserved on their surface. We also recommend to hunt for shining eyeliners in blue and gold design: there seems to be nothing unusual in them, but in fact it is not that easy to find such a product with a comfortable formula.
Dior metallics
Autumn collection Dior is devoted to the game of textures: in it you can find both bold metal pigments and strict matte lipstick. The most interesting combination is: in the already familiar Dior Diorblush Light & Contour stick sticks, the highlighter converges with matte blush, in traditional five-color palettes (this year they will be silver-black and bronze-gold) matte shadows are next to shining satin and shimmer.
We have already recommended to pay attention to the main experimental product, Metalizer Eyes & Lips cream pigment. As in the case of similar products of grand brands, you should not expect rich pigmentation from them, but Dior products successfully solve other tasks - they are light, mobile and universal tools, in many respects for make-up “on the run”, perfectly integrated into any combination.
Clarins graphik
The brand, mainly known for its care products, reminds that lipstick and eyeliners work well for her. Autumn Graphik collection is aimed at eye makeup, so everything is more or less bright and risky this time created for them.
A sensibly assembled four-color palette is a good example of a “dangerous” combination of gray and green hues, and the neatly shining Ombre Matte shades in Midnight Blue color represent a universal, but nevertheless very bright and saturated blue. All other products are simply reliable: supple and resistant lip pencils, a comfortable eyeliner-felt pen and a pleasant, not screaming blush.
YSL Night 54
The name of the collection hints at the famous Studio 54 club, and its contents are once again distinguished by a wealth of colors. For everything and immediately, the Couture Variation Palette was created: it contains five shades of lipstick and shadows, in the latter the creators mixed a shameless amount of glitter - to shine so shine. There is a cosmic black and frivolous lilac, and again a good green one, so it fits for all occasions except the most boring ones.
The most party product is a powder-glitter with a holographic lilac shade, which is proposed to be applied to the face and décolleté. The line of violence and hedonism is supported by colored eyeliners, among which there is a pink nude with sparkles - I wonder how this color will show itself in the format of a liquid liner?
Estée Lauder x Victoria Beckham 2.0
Last year's brand collaboration with Victoria Beckham was a success, and it was decided to repeat the success this autumn. The second launch came out very large and diverse: there are expected highlighter-bronzer-rouge, and amazing pieces like duos of matte shadows containing outstanding blue and orange shades.
Eye Foil cream shades look fantastic in a fashionable, but not yet replicated foil texture - a translucent metallic with a wet effect. Among other things, the collection noted dry eyeliner and holographic lip gloss. Prices make you cry, but if suddenly - you know what to give meekap-geek this fall.
Lancôme Olympia's Wonderland
Lancôme continues to fall into childhood in the most remarkable way. The autumn collection is a collaboration with designer Olympia Le Tan, creating clutches in the form of books that want just about everything. In such clutches, designed by Olympia, collections of lacquers and lipsticks will be sold, and this design is also reproduced in a palette of shadows, blush and lipstick.
L'Absolu Rouge's lipstick has changed on this occasion, and now lips adorn the tip of the stick, a bottle of Monsieur Big carcass is decorated with books and hearts, and the obligatory Matt Shaker appears in purple, burgundy and red-orange shades. Among nail products, the top layer of Amour is definitely declared the object of desire - the bottle is filled with tiny beige hearts.
Chanel Travel Diary
Lucia Pika drew ideas for the autumn-winter cosmetic launch on trips around California, and all shades are memories of the sea, sunsets, roads and other colors of an unfamiliar nature. The brand continues to collect compact universal palettes, this time the main one was the pocket Palette Essentielle, which contains concealer, highlighter and rouge.
The rest of the collection is earthy in the best sense of the word: an extensive line of eyebrow pencils, Le Vernis varnishes in beautiful dusty shades and eye pencils with a tint brush in brown, purple and green colors.
Nars audacious
In the spring and summer, NARS pleased us with unusual collections: one of them was completely devoted to the legendary shade of Orgasm, and the second, thoughtful and dreamy, was marked by collaboration with Charlotte Gainsbourg. Autumn is simple, but ingenious - this is a spectacular extension of the Audacious line of lipsticks and a small collection of colored mascaras.
Six new shades of lipstick are traditionally difficult, from deep purple to dusty pink nuda, and among the three color mascara options there is red, the rarest color for this product, occasionally pop-up in limited editions of luxury brands. It seems to be a traditional and understandable autumn line, but this is why the attractive one.
Guerlain Kiss Kiss Collection
The whole Guerlain autumn collection is devoted to lip makeup, and all products are uncompromisingly matte: the brand is late, but it is free to fantasize on the main fashion of recent years. In the Kiss Kiss From Paris palettes, four shades of lipstick in red and pink are assembled, nine shades of lipstick in classic sticks also mostly dance around red - the more interesting the grunge wine and plum colors are. Also matte lipstick presented in a liquid format.
MAC x Nicki Minaj
The first autumn MAC collection was created jointly with Niki Minaj, but it has little in common with that Niki you thought of - no acid wigs and neon colors. This is an extensive collection of nude lip makeup products, twenty-four shades of lipstick and Lipglass gloss in pink, brown and beige tones. Before the September launch, the images are kept under lock and key, but we really like the idea that every customer will find his ideal look among the cases with autographs of Niki Minaj, so we’ll start waiting right now.
