Introducing Dolce&Gabbana The Brush Collection a collaboration with Pat McGrath.

Pat McGrath on The Brush Collection:

In an invaluable collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, superstar make up artist, Pat McGrath lends her immeasurable backstage experience and unrivalled expertise to the design and development of The Brush Collection. “As a professional I know that the quality of make-up tools are just as important as the quality of the make-up, if not more so, “says McGrath. “Our goal was to create tools for a beauty ritual that’s effective, effortless and luxurious – and for each brush to exist as beautiful object in itself. It was very rewarding to help develop these remarkable brushes; they’re the perfect tools for delivering a polished perfected look that every woman can easily achieve”.

Dolce & Gabbana presents The Brush Collection: the accessory line up created by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to enrich The Make Up line. The Brush Collection, the inaugural accessory collection from The Make Up, is conceived for the woman who is passionate about perfection, performance, and play. An exceptional line of professional quality tools to assure a flawless precision, effortless application, and implement a polished finish for endless glamour.

Clinique High Lengths Mascara NEW, $14: This new mascara by Clinique make my lashes long, defined, and beautiful. It gets the smallest lashes at the lower lash line. It’s a lengthening mascara, not so much for volume.

Wondering what all the buzz is about? Ôscillation Powerfoundation ($48), Lancôme’s latest vibrating makeup, is truly a does-it-all foundation. Good-for-your skin ingredients, SPF 21 that’s among the highest on the market, a 14-hour wear and a finish that looks like your skin, but better—all housed in a package that’s portable and mess-free. As for that ingenious applicator that delivers 7,000 micro-oscillations per minute, the benefits as just as great. The subtle action helps spread the powder evenly across your skin and buffs it down to a matte finish.

Marta says: ” My new favorite foundation and it’s mineral too. I love the coverage, my skin looks immediately flawless and I don’t feel I wear foundation at all. I carry Lancôme Ôscillation Powerfoundation in my purse or makeup bag on the go at all times. Perfect also if you are the busy type who is looking for a great foundation that is very easy to use and quick to apply (no swirling your powder brush, taping, no mess)”

You can even buy an Ôscillation Powerfoundation Replacement Wand for $5.

KENZO Fall Winter 2010 Fashion Show in Paris. Makeup by MAC Cosmetics.

The Makeup Look and Inspiration: “The KENZO woman is an amazing woman, very multicultural with elegance and you’re never sure where she’s from. Add a peach colour that is not too girly or bronzy, like a feel good colour that is reminiscent of the 80’s. To give the look a ’sick’ quality we have given them dry mustard lips!”-Tom Pecheux
