With skin illuminated by face powder, her lips are fiery red, nails adorned with non matching varnish creating an unusual look, expression intensified by double lined eyeliner and graphic images: winter makeup for the woman-goddess who has refound her passion and femininity.

Winter makeup is not only about seduction and perfecting the face. It is about much much more. Women are goddesses who inspire dreams. Jewellery for the face is back in fashion, launched by Maison Miu Miu and Chanel: glitter and coloured stones to place along the eye brows and around the eyes, complements and completes traditional makeup. This was an eccentric look seen on the catwalks of the Paris Fashion Week: a completely feminine way draw attention, and reserved for those most glamorous of evenings and very special rendezvous’. The expression is intensified by the use of double line eyeliner and graphic designs.

Guerlain

It is the lips that light up winter, red lips stoked up by Guerlain, not missing out on an opportunity to make a mark with ultra volume lips. The French perfume house has been part of the luxury multinational Lvmh since the 1990s but looking back into history you will find it was Guerlain who invented the first lipstick in 1870. To cushion the cold there is Rouge G l’Extrait, a creamy, liquid, consistent lipstick with pigmentation suitable for the most sophisticated maquiallage. Seven tonalities tempt us, one for each of the seven deadly sins: raspberry Gourmandise (gluttony); Plum Orgueil (pride); orange d’Envie (envy); beige Avarice ( greed); pink Paresses (sloth); warm brown Luxure ( lust) and red Colère (wrath). And, once the lips have been      prepared with fiendish precision, it is the turn of the cheekbones. There are six pairs of blusher to sculpt them. Guerlain takes up the subdivision of the lipsticks: red, pink, beige and orange.

Collistar

 Sophisticated new products have also arrived from Collistar, the Italian multinational dedicated to beauty and cosmetics. They have named their winter collection after the city of Milan. “A declaration of love to the most cosmopolitan of all Italian cities, with its frenetic rhythms, and its constant ability to be one step ahead when it comes to fashion and the latest trends.
It is unique, the capital of design and fashion and a unmissable destination for tourists coming from all over the world. Milanese women are always ready to lay claim to being the most elegant women in the world, beacons of good taste without excess, their metropolitan look takes the best of fashion and interprets it with that personal touch” affirms a press release from them Milanese company.

Collistar

The Milano collection exalts the skin with powders of silky consistency. Lips stand out with lip-ink with indelible colours. This is Tatoo lipstick. Apply the liquid base and leave it to dry for a minute then apply the lipstick, which will leave the lips with a really intense colour, while for the cheekbones, the fashionable blusher is a warm deep orange.
Eye make- up requires long lasting mat powders. Baked wet and dry eye shadow and three satin effect tones which bring to mind wine red, clay and intense green-blue.
For nails the Italian company proposes three shades which range from grey-green to the dark, greedy chocolate face powder.
The most fashionable stylists insist on variety. Using one colour for both fingers and toes is decidedly passé. Be daring with lively tones but in neutral shades, after all we don’t want to end up looking like a clown.

Collistar

To light up the face Dior, the French company, another leading light in the Lvmh group, uses the colour gold. Outside time, refined or impertinent, gold transforms a woman into an idol.
A new line is called the Golden Jungle Collection, which the company describes as a blaze of golden nuances, bright and dark lipsticks, rather wild and terribly feline- a notion of fashion that incarnates the luxury of the urban jungle pushed to its limits. The eyeliners are of neutral colours
and the essence of the modern jungle is contained in the treasure chest of the Golden Jungle Palette. A panther design for the trio of mat, pearly and iridescent eyeliners which sculpt the eye lids, while the gloss gives a natural and brilliant effect. .

Collistar

To exalt the harmony of the body Dior has brought out a new manicure which combines a golden base with a kaki topcoat which “fusing together reveal an incredible crocodile effect” explains the Maison. To complete the architecture of the face there are two harmonies of Diorblush: Terre de Sienne or Brune cannelle.
Your skin exudes light, your cheek bones are finely sculpted and you emit delicious warmth.
