Laura Mercier’s second creation to appear this spring is Gilded Garden, a collection of bold floral colors with gold accents to brighten every face this spring.
The star of the collection is the Gilded Garden Mosaic Shimmer Bloc, a blush/highlighter stamped with a gorgeous floral motif to softly illuminate cheeks.
This compact is so beautiful, I didn’t even want to touch it!
As the winter days come to close, Guerlain rejoices in the frivolity of the season that heralds happiness and abundance. With the spring come new hopes and a carefree spirit, boosted by luxuriant and jubilant nature.
In New York last week, I had an amazing opportunity to meet Nicolas Degennes, artistic director for Givenchy makeup, over breakfast with a small group of beauty bloggers.
In celebration of his new India-inspired collection, Nicolas explained his inspiration behind the pink and orange hued collection. “I wanted to create a collection with blazing, extravagant colors,” says Nicolas, “In India, it’s so natural to be daring!”
I was mesmerized by Nicolas’ passion for beauty and life and clearly see how he translates his vision to his makeup collections. With Magic Kajal, a carbon black jumbo pencil to be used to line the inner eyelid, Nicolas says “It’s going to make your eyes stronger and more alive.” By allowing the liner to blend freely, smudging subtly as the day goes on, your eyes will tell the story of your day. (If smudged liner is not your thing, add a bit of translucent or colored powder along your lower lashline to keep the Magic Kajal in place.)
