When I saw this lovely Holiday Makeup Collection by YSL, I
couldn't stop myself from going all “WOW” about it. The collection truly gives
a new meaning to what we call "Dark Beauty". The enchanting,
seductive, dark and smoky shades with a hint of color and shimmer, definitely
makes this collection drool worthy and worth looking at. The golden packaging
with signature YSL logo, truly makes it a classic collection to have in the
vanity case. Check out more details below:
Introducing the Yves
Saint Laurent "Holiday Look 2011". YSL international make-up artist
Lloyd Simmonds pays tribute to the Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo, the absolute
garment in a masculine-feminine wardrobe, enhanced by a satin sash, a velvet
lapel, a bow-tie.
In doing so, he has
recreated a new palette of seduction, placing the emphasis on expression, on
the force of an attitude.
"The tuxedo" It’s the icon of the Yves Saint Laurent
wardrobe. A reference to the pictures of Helmut Newton. The famous ‘smoky eye’.
A signature eye.” – Lloyd
Simmonds
Inspired by the tuxedo, the Palette Noir Terriblement and the Palette Blanc Terriblement both celebrate the emblematic spirit of evening clothes that move effortlessly throughout time. Nestling inside a beautiful gold case, adorned by a pleated belt and embroidered with the Yves Saint Laurent logo. It can be worn around the wrist like a bracelet, a nocturnal fetish.
Palette "Noir
Terriblement" :
The black tuxedo. Eye Shadow in 5 colors. 4 variations of
black and a shimmering white in the middle. Black velvet, black silk, black
moiré, black lamé, white satin, fabric turning into eye colors in the magic of
an evening where black is unveiled in a play on shadow and light.
Expert’s secret by Lloyd Simmonds: “The best thing is to choose your black and use it as a base applied
with the flat brush. And then to ‘smoke’ it with a round brush to blend the product
so that the edges are invisible.”
Palette "Blanc
Terriblement"
The white tuxedo. The complexion illuminator palette.
Shimmering silver, shimmering pink, shimmering violet. Three white hues
delicately lit up with precious pearls, catching the light like a magnet to
give an absolute glow effect.
Ombres Duolumières
Contrasts and highlights for sparkling eyes in two different
colour combinations:
- Silver moiré /Black Flannel,
- Gold lamé / Velvet black.
Manucure Couture
n°6
Make a show of style and colour right down to the
fingertips. The hand becomes the most luxurious fashion accessory. Yves Saint Laurent’s “Duo Terriblement Noir”:
Two blacks. One matte and one glossy. An ultra–graphic feel for the season’s
most radical, most ‘couture’ duo.
A reprise of the contrasts of powder texture
and satin lapels, they are complementary to give an ultra–sophisticated,
infinitely black finish.
Golden Gloss – White
shimmering gold collection
Transparence and light, wear it alone or added to a lipstick
to give a white gold shimmer on the lips.
