NARS Spring 2012 Collection + Makeup Removing Water

Love this new Nars collection! I can’t wait to try the eyeshadows and of course the blush, which is the perfect shade of pink of spring /summer. The Makeup remover is also a definite must have on my list 😉

The Spring 2012 Collection, created by Founder and Creative Director François Nars, stars a mix of bright and playful colors balanced with rich, saturated hues. Nars chose to photograph model Ginta Lapina for the spring campaign, explaining, “Her delicate features and classic beauty made her an ideal fit for a collection that’s at once fresh and fierce.” The collection is a study in contrasts: Bold color underscored by sophisticated shimmer. Eyes glisten in muted tones of lavender and pink, or shimmer in bronze shades accented with rich navy. Cheeks are flushed with candy pink. Lips gleam in topaz or pop with berry. Metallic violet nails add the finishing touch to a collection that’s bright, strong and iconic.

The collection launches on http://www.narscosmetics.com on January 13th.

Douce France Trio Eyeshadow (Limited Edition) $45
Named for the 1942 song by French singer-songwriter Charles Trenet.

Wear each alone or use one as a base, another to highlight and the third as a liner or contour.

NARS Spring 2012 Collection + Makeup Removing Water
Paramaribo Duo Eyeshadow (Limited Edition) $34

NARS Spring 2012 Collection + Makeup Removing Water
Lhasa Single Eyeshadow $24
One of the highest cities in the world, Lhasa is the home to many significant Tibetan Buddhist palaces. This shimmery lavender-gray Single Eyeshadow lends lids a luminous look worthy of its spiritual namesake.

Bright Eyes — 6 Perfect Summer Eyeshadow Looks

Six super-chic eyeshadow trends, scooped straight from the Spring 2011 runways. Summer beauty is all about a carefree, playful mood, so why not experiment a bit? From golden shimmers to super-saturated blues, here are our favorite shadow looks to try.

Green Gleam

Super-saturated, shimmery green tones were all the rage at the Jason Wu Spring 2011 show. Models sported two-tone washes — colorblock for the eyes, if you will. Use a lighter shade in the inside corner to make eyes appear extra-wide.

From top to bottom: Palladio Baked Eyeshadow in Green Apple, $7; Lancome Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadow in Montage, $17; Sue Devitt Hydrating Marine Minerals Destination Eye Palette in Green Isle, $38

Electric Avenue

A fresh take on classic blue, spotted backstage at Rochas Spring 2011. This vivid hue looks especially charming with a tan — sweep bronzer across cheeks to accentuate cheekbones and balance the intensity of the shadow.

From top to bottom: By Terry Powder Eyeshadow in Midnight, $40; Sephora Colorful Mono Eyeshadow in My Favorite Jeans $12, MAC Eyeshadow in Electric Eel, $15

White Wash

Prabal Gurung sent models down his Spring 2011 runway in this matte, ethereal shade. To keep the look dreamy and avoid looking washed-out, be sure to accentuate your brows. A shimmery white shadow brushed on the tops of cheekbones also helps adds dimension.

From top to bottom: Topshop Cream Eyeshadow in Snowstorm, $10; Colorscience Pro Loose Mineral Eyeshadow in Matte White, $19; Models Own Eyeshadow in Pearl White, $8

Gold Dust Woman

Anna Sui’s Spring 2011 models sported sparkly gold eyes for an endless Summer vibe. Look for gold shades with tiny glittery specks, and be sure to pair with apricot blushes and bronzers for the perfect glow.

From top to bottom: Dior 1 Couleur Eyeshadow in Gold Touch, $29; Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash in Champange, $20; Bare Escentuals Bareminerals Glimmer in True Gold, $13

Blue Steel

Models sported this hybrid grey-blue hue at the L’Wren Scott Spring 2011 show. To make eyes really pop, pair this color with lots of black mascara . . . but be sure to keep the rest of your look neutral — lips look best when nearly nude, and skip the blush.

From top to bottom: Elizabeth Arden Intrigue Eyeshadow Duo in Blue Smoke, $25; Laura Geller Variagated Baked Eyeshadow in Blue Icing, $24; Dr.Hauschka Skin Care Eyeshadow Solo Eye Color in Smokey Blue, $20

Pink Eyes

Not for the faint of heart. Nina Ricci’s Spring 2011 show boasted models in hot fuschia shadow. It’s a look that seems surprisingly chic, especially when paired with a squeaky-clean skin. The trick to looking bright-eyed rather than sleepy-eyed? Line eyes with black before applying the pink, and add mascara liberally.

From top to bottom: Anna Sui Eye Color Accent in Hot Pink, $27; MAC Pigment in Neo-Orange, $20; Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Caravaggio, $33

Golden Goddesses: Killer Summer Bronzer Guide

Bronzer is key in my daily morning makeup routine. So below I talk about the different kinds and which one can work for you, since there are sooooo many. 😉

Bronzer definitely has a lock on summer. With its universally appealing sun-kissed finish, a touch of bronzer adds an instant glow that evokes a breezy, beachy, weekend look. But it’s not foolproof, or, unlike the bright makeup we’re also loving this summer, something to take creative license with. Read: Over-applying or picking the wrong shade can result in that cringe-inducing, beyond bronzed look. In the hopes of demystify the world of bronzer, we turned to celebrity makeup artist Carmindy for some expert tips, and also rounded up a bevy of new bronzers, including options that go beyond the basics—think shimmer, cream, and liquid formulas. Because, as Carmindy affirms, “everyone can wear a bronzer, it’s just about knowing which shade works best for you.” 1. Pick Your Shade and Go Easy With Application—”Go about two shades deeper than your natural coloring, and don’t dust bronzer all over the face, which can make you look dirty,” says Carmindy. “Instead, strategically brush it on in a C formation. Start at the temples and sweep along the sides of the face and under cheeks for a more natural glow. You can add a slight sweep across forehead, nose, and chin at the end, but very lightly.”

2. Matte vs. Shimmer—A common mistake Carmindy sees often is applying a too-dark metallic bronzer all over the face. Instead, for day, try a matte bronzer: “Matte looks good if it’s very sheer and applied lightly,” she says. “It’s more natural than shimmer bronzer, so it wears best during the day and on lighter skin tones. If you’re really porcelain, make sure you use a very light shade of bronzer, and if your skin is really dark, use a deep shade with a bit of shimmer.”

3. Rules Of Sparkle—”Make sure to only use heavily metallic bronzer at night and stick to shimmer bronzers that have a slight pearlescent glow for day.”

Above, from left: Urban Decay Baked Bronzer in Gilded, $26, available at Urban Decay; Bronze Goddess images courtesy of Estée Lauder.

4. Try A Bronzer-Blush Combo—Carmindy recommends using bronzer and blush separately, with the blush applied on the apples of the cheeks and bronzer in the C formation. But some duos are made for blending and these duos can give you a brightened up tan if you start off light and build from there.

Above, from left: Chanel Soilel Tan de Chanel in Bronze Corail, $50, available at Chanel; Topshop Cheek Duo in Desert Sun, $24, available at Topshop; Too Faced Peach Leopard Brightening & Perfecting Bronzer, $28, available at Sephora; Dior Diorskin Nude Healthy Glow Powder in Aurora, $46, available at Saks; Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired By Carmindy Sunglow Powder Bronzer, $12.99, available at drugstores nationwide or visit Sally Hansen Natural Beauty.

5. Step Into Liquid—”Liquids can be messy and tricky,” says Carmindy. “So, it’s easier to stick to creams or powders. But if you must use liquids, try mixing them in with your moisturizer.” Plus, some of the new products with a foundation-like texture (like Guerlain’s Terracotta foundation and Stila’s One Step), help illuminate and can be applied all over the face or just in the T-zone.
