It’s a precedent for Estée Lauder! For the first time the illustrious brand partnered with a fashion designer. And the lucky one is Derek Lam. They teamed up to create a beauty look for a Fashion Week show Fall/Winter 2010 – the make-up and nail look for his runway show, to be more exact.

Blue eyes, matte skin, bare cheeks, copper lips and neutral nails held sway the catwalk at Capitale, where the designer showcased his American West-inspired collection.

Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux led a team of 15 artists to create the look for the 22 models to complement the designer’s inspiration, while famed manicurist Jin Soon Choi and her team polished their nails with a new color that was tested backstage.

In a press release, Pecheux said:

“When Derek showed me the fabrics that inspired his Fall 2010 collection – bold and muted tones mixed with earthy pigments including terracotta, greens and browns – I thought the make-up shades should be complimentary. So we chose a blend of bold blue shadows on the eyes, shimmering copper lips, and flawless, matte skin created with a light foundation — an on-trend beauty preview of what we will see for Fall 2010.”

Here is the list of the makeup items used on the models.

What do you expect from the Valentine’s Day? The day of love, kisses and hugs? I can tell you that I really want to look amazing, though I know that my darling is mine only, but I want to be sure that he won’t be able to turn his eyes from me. So, here are my tips to makeup gorgeously and innocently at the same time.

• After skin nourishing, apply the corrector under the eyes and onto the inner eye corners. Thin layer of corrector on the upper eyelids will be a good foundation for eye shadows to keep them on longer and soother.

• Use the foundation color that matches your skin color best. Shade it with your fingertips. Choose pink or peach hues blush – depending on your skin color of course. Those who have round face shape, apply blush onto the center of the cheeks, and those with long (or oblong) face – onto the cheekbones. If you want your make up to look natural and sparkling, use blush with light-reflecting sparkles.

• Apply the beaming shadows of golden-peach or beige tints along the lashes line. To add some glam chic, brush slightly the inner eye corner with light shadows.

• Apply dark-tinted matte shadows onto the outer eye corners.

• Apply light eye shadows (the first hue) under the brow along the eye.

If you have brown or dark brown eyes, you are the lucky one. There is not a secret that dark eyes attract make a very strong impression. And the topic is not about the make up as the brown-eyed women stand out against a background of blue or grey-eyed ones.

The brown-eyed beauties don’t need to create a new image daily. It’s enough to accentuate the natural cattish playfulness of the look by a few strokes and the world will be at your feet again.

So, what are the must-have make-up items for the brown-eyed? And what makeup will make your eyes look showy?

Eyeliner

If you want to turn your eyes into alluring and tender look for a special evening, use the Arab style and your beloved won’t get enough watching you. The best eyeliner color is black. Apply the liner along the eyelashes line of the upper eyelid. The lower eyelid can be contoured with the black eye pencil. The aim is to get a cat eye uplifting the outer corners.

Finish the look of Oriental beauty with the olive-, chestnut-, or golden-colored eye shadows. Enticing and mysterious look will be achieved if you mix up several hues of one gamut. Makeup tints should smoothly flow from one to another, from the lightest at the inner corners to the rich dark of the outer.

Let’s chose the right eye shadows.

The main rule of the perfect makeup – the shadows are created for your brown eyes, not visa versa. That’s simply the method to stress the natural beauty of your eyes, dark depth and enigmatic warmth of your brown hues. Don’t cover the eyelids with all the possible tints that you have in the palette. But all you should do is to stress this or that eye shape.

Julia Roberts is the actress of standing reputation. She is still on top and it seems she isn’t going to down.

Being a spokesmodel for Lancome, being mother of three and still being considered as a fashion icon at her 42 is amazing.

The Oscar winner is making her debut as the cosmetic giant’s global ambassador at Paris Fashion Week in France.

Roberts tells Women’s Wear Daily:

“It’s kind of like every girl’s dream, really. To be 42 and have three kids and be a working mom, it’s a great moment to be asked to do this and to be able to do it. I think it says a lot about Lancôme and what they stand for.”

However, the actress-turned-model has joked the advert was not her most challenging piece of work.

She quipped:

“I think I have to stand up straight and wash my face more now.”

Lancome’s president Yousef Nabi revealed the award-winning actress is serious about working closely with the brand.

He added to WWD:

“Julia really wants to be involved in the development of products.”

Julia is already starring in her first campaign for Definicils Precious Cells Mascara that was shot by photographer Mario Testino in a private Manhattan apartment and will be released in Europe this March.

She is all times favorite woman.

How to get yourself into order if there is only one week left before the giant party?

Early winter is quite a complicated time for an organism. Some of you have already had an illness and flu. All the taken drugs have effected the face skin well hopefully.

And the end of the year is a real hassle. But one who gets angered often – advances in age quickly, proved by the scientists. Nervous disorders influence the skin condition immediately. But what can you do to become irresistible up to the holidays (at least for the New Year party)?

The course of special procedures can help you to relax: warm bath with coniferous extract, lavender, and sea salt. The water shouldn’t be very hot, the time of the bath is 10-15 minutes 3 times per week.

If baths are contra-indicated to you, then you can take soothing herbal teas: valerian, mint, sweet-Mary and peony, or polysaturated acids. Polyvitamins with tocopherol (vitamin E) are great as well. Pure water with lemon goes well too.

The preparation to the New Year’s holidays is on run, and we should keep our eyes no only onto the outfits and accessories.

The makeup is the significant part of your image. That’s why let’s have a good look at the special event make-up offered by the Estee Lauder brand stylists as well as know more about the limited New Year products.

Limited-Edition Opulent Shimmer Powder

Use the shimmering powder that is so perfect for the evening makeup. It soothes the skin and brings it a well-groomed look. Small trick – if you apply the light-hued powder right under the brows, eyes and on the upper cheekbone point, you’ll get your image some special drama.

Signature Eyeshadow Quad

Four consonant colors in one packing. It’s a very handy set of matte and mother-of-pearl eye shadows. They also catch by their thin texture that doesn’t lessen their stableness at all. The shadows easily cover the eyelids, keep the colors, and don’t go awry somehow.

Gel Eyeliner

New make-up product from Estee Lauder – soft eyeliner. You can regulate the color saturation by the liner putting way.

Make up is not only one of the main sources of women’s beauty that helps us to hide our shortcomings and accentuate merits, to turn into vamp-women and vice versa – to make us look innocent and natural.

Not everyone knows, but there is a connection between your makeup and zodiac sign. So, let’s see what the Stars predict us to wear on our face in Make up Horoscope December 2009.

Miss December – Sagittarius

You girl don’t have boundaries; adore everything new, unknown desiring to experience all these. Sagittarius should try some soft beaming hues of golden-pink gamut this month. It will bring you the extra energy.

Matte lipstick of the bewitching rich colors will fit you just right. Try pinky blush tints. Your eyes should reflect your sole, Stars say.

Capricorn

This zodiac sign can achieve a lot using only her own efforts. Stars know that you are aware of all the novelty of the makeup trends but you rarely turn this interest into the buying process.

Don’t examine the products for hours to purchase something you really like as it will be the best of what you ever tried. If you are the fan of the natural cosmetic that’s great but if you are the fan of natural make up you should change it this month, without fail!

Switch the beige-brown hues to the bright darkened tints like dark blue, grey. Combine delicate green and grayish green colors. Your lipstick hue shouldn’t be brighter than your eyes.

Aquarius

Dear Aquarius girl, you are fulfilled with emotions, you everyday life is scheduled with all the possible plans, meetings; various events go one after another. On-going life absorbs you completely and you don’t have time to spend some of it for the make-up trends.

But do you really need it? Stars say that you should try one of this-season-fashionable-makeup trends. It can be one, but good and expensive. A fantastic lip gloss, blush or eye shadows made of the up-to-date silky texture. The colors should fit your eyes color or if they are brown then, there are no limits!
