Now This Is How You Nude It.
L’Oréal Paris had wowed us once again with the August 2007 launch of the new Colour Riche Made for Me Naturals lipstick. L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Made for Me Naturals are a collection of 12 nude shades designed to maximize the beauty of each and every woman. L’Oréal has even gone a step further than just stating the claim that the new natural shades are created just for you and have, in fact, developed nude lipstick colours to compliment the gorgeous variety of hair and skin colouring that abound. Made for Me Naturals range of lipsticks come in a selection of colours to suit everyone from blondes to brunettes, porcelain skin to darker skin.
According to James Kaliardos, L’Oréal Paris Makeup Artist Designer,
“Nude lips are all about a clean look, perfect for any occasion. A flawless complexion, impeccably groomed brows and glossy black lashes…neutral but far from dull!”
to blondes…
For blondes, nude flirts with a rosy pink, bringing out the healthy radiance of fair complexions.
From women with light-brown hair…
For women with light-brown hair, nude shades are with hints of powdered pink, boosted by a fresh, radiantly iridescent edge.
To women with chestnut-brown hair…
For women with chestnut-brown hair, nudes have a hint of mauve, softened and brought up-to-date by mother-of-pearl, for an effect that blends with the chestnut tones in the hair to truly light up the complexion.
From darker skin…
For women with darker skin, nude shades are warmed up by caramel, honey and ginger notes, with a little pink and gold to illuminate and warm up darker complexions.
To porcelain complexions…
For women with porcelain complexions, nudes comes with a touch of pink and a dash of apricot to deliciously light up very pale complexions and boost the radiance of Asian skin and porcelain complexions.
L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Made for Me Naturals possess the exceptional formula for which L’Oréal Paris is known. Omega-3 oils and Vitamin E are present to prevent the lips from drying out and the lipsticks creamy texture leaves the lips moisturized and smooth. Plus, who could resist the elegantly designed satin-gold case? It’s gorgeous all-round. L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Made for Me Naturals are exactly how nudes should be done. Just stellar!
That Is All.
To be perfectly honest, I think this colossal image and the name Pat McGrath, alone, are really all that needs posting, because I know you will instantly understand. But for the sake of not wanting to make the shortest post in blog history, I’ll add a few exciting extras. Yes! Max Factor is soon to release Masterpiece Max mascara in July 2007. *happy dance* Masterpiece Max continues to rage on, where its little sister left off, with its innovative Volume iFX brush it delivers even more volume to each and every lash. Max Factor reckons this beauty will give you a wild and wonderful volume increase to each lash of 400%! As I couldn’t locate my super duper lash volume detector/measuring thing-y-ma-bob, as you will understand, I can’t say for sure that I got exactly 400% more volume, but I, most certainly, did get a whopping great improvement in length and volume from what I started with and not a clump was to be seen. Just gorgeous. Masterpiece Max mascara comes in 2 classic shades: Rich Black and Brown Black.
International makeup artist (my Guru) and Global Creative Design Director for P&G Beauty, Pat McGrath knows choosing the right volume mascara can be crucial in avoiding stress and time wastage backstage.
“Full-volume, beautifully defined lashes is one of the most desirable looks, but one of the hardest to achieve. Most traditional volumising mascaras load the lashes with mascara to build volume but this often results in globby lashes. Masterpiece Max makes sleek and smooth volume easily accessible to everyone. Its breakthrough Volume iFX brush and volumising formula, create striking eyes and lashes with high volume, while still giving wonderful separation and definition.”
That’s my kind of mascara!
Befreckled Beauty.
A gorgeous beauty photograph graced the inbox of my computer this morning and was the inspiration for this post. I don’t think I can legally show it without permission, so I will do my best to describe it. Makeup aside, the photograph was an exquisite headshot of a woman with alabaster skin and the most divine pale violet coloured eyes that resembled precious Iolites. The woman in the photo also had the most glorious freckles setting gracefully along her brow, bridge of her nose and upper cheek bones. What captured my immediate attention, besides the colour of her eyes *faints*, was the gorgeous vulnerabilities of her inherent natural beauty on show by allowing her freckles to be seen. I adore the fact that they have gone with the option of allowing them to peek through the skillfully applied makeup. By permitting her freckles to exist in the photograph, it was a wonderful acknowledgment of the depth of her beauty. I only wish many more of our befreckled beauties would embrace the sheer loveliness of their presence.
Couture Coifs.
What fun! Sunsilk has teamed up with three of Australia’s leading designers: Bettina Liano, Akira Isogawa, and Wayne Cooper to celebrate the first ever Sunsilk Fashion Designer Range. This affordable range of shampoo and conditioner encapsulates the essence, style and trend of these premier designers while offering serious hair care formulations with specialized crystal extracts to create gloss and shimmer. Bettina Liano, Akira Isogawa, and Wayne Cooper were totally hands on with this exciting collaboration. So much so, that over the last 6 months, each designer fully immersed themselves in the creation of the Sunsilk Limited Edition Fashion Designer Range.
Channelling the bold, rock chick attitude is Bettina Liano’s Sunsilk Shine Addict. Bettina Liano’s jeans (that no doubt reside in many a stylish superstar’s closet), which epitomizes her street funk are featured on her Sunsilk Shine Addict Pack design.
“Women who wear my clothes have a rock chick attitude, they’re cool and love a wild look”, said Bettina. ” I wanted my Shine Addict bottle design to translate the edginess of my designs.”
Akira’s Sunsilk Shine Angel is reminiscent of the delicate, beautiful style of his garments and the white packaging was influenced by Akira’s favourite bird motif.
“It is reminiscent of the girl next door…Sunsilk Shine Angel is young and fresh, ” said Akira.
Appealing to the glamourous seductress within, Wayne Cooper’s Sunsilk Seductive Shine is housed in a flashy gold bottle that screams red carpet celebrity, positively oozing with alluring glamour.
“I wanted the bottle to reflect glamour, style, and seduction, all key elements for my clothes and of course beautiful hair, ” said Wayne.
Sunsilk Limited Edition Designer Range is available now until November 2007 from all leading supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide.
