What comes to mind when we think of Spring? The
birds and the bees, new arrival of animals and the flower in bloom? Wait
a minute? Am I writing a blog on the weather? No, but the reason Spring
is relevant to this post is because in cosmetic land the houses are
releasing their Spring Colour Collections for 2012!
For houses Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Lancôme their collections appear to have a definite influence from the colours of spring! Green, orange and pink are present in all 3 collections.
Both the Dior and Yves Saint Laurent visuals feature soft feminim eyes, with purples and pinks. I personally love these kinds of eye looks. It is a great way to show people how to pull off colour. Dior showing an almost soft rock type look, imaging that women can be both soft and feminim but still hold their own. Yves Saint Laurent stay true to the soft girl look, adding edge through hair styling and accessories. The Lancôme visual shows off the collections green and pink eyeshdaows, offering a feminim and sophisticated look. Aaron DeMay (Lancôme National Makeup Artist) once again shows his edgy style that he brings to the counters of Lancôme.
Here you can the colour of the collections how they are sold. As you can see green and pink are the main influence of the season.
Lancome is selling a beautiful green palette, using the bold to grab the attention of younger customers, whilst also offering a softer pink tone palette their regular clientele. Sometimes with the Lancome colours on the quads is that they are usually not that great in pigment. But with majority of the colour collection releases the eyeshadows are always more greatly pigmented. The shadow texture is as always with Lancome soft and silky and easy to apply. I am in love with the pearl and irredescence of the lighter colours in these quads. I for one believe anyone can wear ‘glittery’ products, it is all a matter of how you apply and it knowing when to add just a little or enough.
I am really excited by the Dior palettes, the shadows are what looks to be a cream powder, the embossing on the products make them look almost not real. The eyeshadow itself is soft and smooth and blendable. The thing I am most excited about is that these are more pigmented than the usual Dior eyeshadows. The colours I think are beautiful and I think offer to both a young and mature clientele. The only issue is because these are highly pigmented in that silky sheen of irredescence most mature clients will shy away from this as metallic can accentuate fine lines and dry skin.
Yves Saint Laurent, the luxury house of the bold. Never fails to impress me. One thing Yves Saint Laurent know and that is colour and pigment. Oh and did I forget shimmer? I am sad that the cosmetic industry is still very quiet for YSL as I believe they have a lot to offer. One palette of the collection highly glittery and shimmery packed with bright colours, although they are bright they this palette in particular is still soft, to display the soft femininity of a gentle female. The second palette is more matte but packed with pigment!
I love all of the eyeshadows for each collection. Sadly though I don’t think they will sell as well as they should. Altough everyone loves colour, the majority of the public are scared of it. The main thing people think of is how do I wear it? People are not taught hold to apply it so it is still wearable and, hmm lets say not ‘scary’. I insist, if you love colour ask the consultants on counter to show you how to wear, how to apply it. They are there to help!
What do you think about bright colours and the latest colours exploding onto luxury cosmetic counters? What is one colour you have always loved but too afraid to experiment with?
I’d love your feedback and your thoughts on these new colour collections!
