CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU
Throughout 2017, you can expect a series of bold lip and face collections from Make Up For Ever, including a collab between the makeup brand and singer Jessie J.
“My makeup reflects how I feel. Whether you want to do just a lip or a full-blown smokey eye, your mood can be reflected in your makeup, and this is why LIFE IS A STAGE!” - Jessie J
Meet 24-year-old Staz Lindes, Saint Laurent’s latest muse. Born in London, spotted in a Santa Monica bowling alley, and now a resident of LA, this blonde rocker- chick isn’t just another pretty face. She's also a photographer, model and guitarist of the rock band The Paranoyds.
PRIME TIME
What else can a primer do for you besides prepping your skin and making makeup last longer? The new generation primers work like little skincare helpers. They can control shine, revive dull and fatigued skin, boost radiance, as well as blur out your facial imperfections.
MAKING SCENTS
M.A.C isn’t associated with fragrances, but it’s looking to change that with Shadescents, a range of six perfumes inspired by their most iconic lipstick shades: Crème d’Nude, Velvet Teddy, Candy Yum-Yum, Ruby Woo, Lady Danger and My Heroine. Here’s what they smell like.
Ruby Woo is a luscious mix of wild cherry, deep red leather and mahogany wood.
Lady Danger is intoxicating with notes of wild cherry, tiger orchid and patchouli.
Candy Yum Yum is full of fruity floral sweetness from pink guava, cherry blossom and cotton candy.
Velvet Teddy is a sensual essence of ginger, wild honey and musk.
