Talking Makeup has the sneek peak to two new Spring 2009 collections from Estee Lauder: Estee Lauder Limited-Edition Fuchsia Now collection, and Estee Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup collection (available beginning February 2009).

Estée Lauder Introduces Fuchsia Now: Experience a spring awakening as soft neutral tones are inspired by a splash of refreshingly bold fuchsia.

As the cold, dark evenings of late winter turn to the warm, light days of spring and your social calendar begins to fill with the promise of enchanted evenings spent outdoors, express your growing optimism for the season by infusing warm, captivating colors into your wardrobe.

As seen on numerous runways for spring, muted, neutral tones combine with vibrant fuchsia and bold berry shades in geometric patterns and graphically stylized florals. A sultry use of sheer fabrics and soft, billowy silhouettes help temper the chic, hot shades of spring, for a look that is casually elegant, yet sophisticated.
Taking cues from the spring runways, Estée Lauder’s new, limited edition Fuchsia Now Color Collection is a feminine, flirty and fun color collection that encapsulates the trend of wearing bold color combined with soft neutrals.

Fuschia Now contrasts light and bright, pairing warm honey and tender peach shades with vibrant fuchsia for a look that is flattering for every skin tone. Cheeks bloom with a hint of fresh color, while eyes allure in shades of deep indigo and rich earth tones. Lips are full, soft and lustrous and are enhanced by perfectly polished nails in complementary shades. Soft petal designs, featured in the collection’s powder compact and eye shadow palettes, highlight the vibrant fuchsia touches and reinforce the season’s upbeat and lighthearted mood.

Natural Radiance and a Fresh Glow for Face: Capturing the essence of the season’s stylized florals, Estée Lauder’s new, limited edition Fleur de Lys Shimmer Powder features a modern fleur de lys designed palette that combines fresh pink shades with soft muted neutrals. The powder’s luxurious, silky formula delivers a beautiful radiance and sheer hint of color for skin that appears fresh and glowing. Perfect for every skin tone, the Fleur de Lys Shimmer Powder provides an even, streak-free application and can be worn alone or over makeup. Apply generously to face, neck and décolletage for naturally radiant, glowing skin that says winter has passed. To finish your face look, add a perfectly flushed cheek with Estée Lauder’s Signature Satin
Creme Blush in beautiful, soft shades of Berry Light and Nude Light. Lightweight and easy to apply, this hydrating blush delivers a naturally radiant look that never streaks, fades in color or settles into pores or fine lines. Its satin-like texture provides a smooth, even, buildable coverage, leaving cheeks with a sheer luminous finish that is both flirty and fun.

A Modern Take on a Sultry Eye Complement the intense shades of spring with a modern take on a sultry eye. Estée Lauder’s Signature Silky Eyeshadow Duo in new, limited edition shades of dark, inky Indigo and rich,
earthen Aubergine call to mind classic beauty icons, such as Bette Davis and Bridget Bardot. The rich, beautiful shades also feature a fleur de lys palette design that coordinates perfectly with the Fleur de Lys Shimmer Powder.

For an intensely alluring effect, line eyes with the Automatic Eye Pencil Duo in rich shades of Black and Walnut Brown and finish the eye look with Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara in Black for dramatic lashes that last as long as you do. Warm Nudes and Fashionable Fuchsia for Lip and Nail Whether you prefer a soft, neutral lip look to complement sultry eyes or a splash of radiant color that captures the season’s exuberance, the Fuchsia Now Color Collection makes it easy. Create beautifully full, soft and lustrous lips for any occasion with Estee Lauder’s Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick in shades of Rich Berry and new, limited edition Mayfair Mauve, Perfect Nude and Earthen Nude. For a sophisticated sheen that can be applied alone or over lipstick, apply Pure Color Gloss in Fresh Berry and new, limited edition Honey Flower.
Complement lustrous lips with perfectly polished nails in coordinating shades. Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Nail Lacquer in shades of Fuchsia and new, limited edition Honey Flower provide re-emerging fingers and toes a douse of fresh, chic color perfect for spring.
