Introducing the Romantic Collection for Fall 2009 and the Golden Beams Collection for Holiday 2009: two new collections showcasing new colours, new attitude and new direction. Inspired by Dolce & Gabbana’s gravitation toward surrealism, each palette embraces a bold insouciance and a sexy spontaneity that challenges the archetypal face of beauty with the revolutionary Dolce & Gabbana aesthetic.

Created for the Dolce & Gabbana woman who seeks a look that’s at once disarmingly assertive and simultaneously seductive, The Make Up captures implicit femininity and explicit sensuality, specially designed for the woman who chooses a life of passion, full-on glamour and ultimate luxury. She aspires to perfection and achieves it; takes risks and succeeds.

The Romantic Collection – Fall 2009

Inspired by Surrealism, the Dolce & Gabbana A/W 09 runway collection echoes both revolutionary sensibility and rebellious spirit. Just as the Surrealists eschewed the conventional to embrace the unpredictable and explore the unimaginable, Dolce & Gabbana break the rules both on the runway and with a new collection of Make Up for fall, tracing the fine line between dreams and reality to create an innovative glamour that teases and provokes.

“We worship the surrealists; they pushed the limits-and proved that anything is possible,” says Stefano Gabbana, “With the Romantic Collection, the idea is to break away from the expected to transform beauty, creating a look that is about ultimate fantasy.”

Last year or so, I was given an incredible chance to ask Heidi Klum some questions on her red carpet beauty secrets and Victoria’s Secret Beauty and makeup. I thought to share!

Marta Walsh: How do you decide on a hair style for the red carpet?
Heidi Klum: The dress inspires everything. I’ll put on the dress the day of the event and we’ll collaborate on what kind of hair and makeup will look best.

MW: In what way is red carpet makeup different than any other day or event?
HK: Red carpet beauty prep is a little different because you usually have more time to get ready and it HK: becomes a fun, girly event. We joke around and sip a little champagne. It’s really fun and festive. And, red carpet makeup can be a little bolder and more adventurous when you’re wearing a dramatic evening gown.

MW: Is there any beauty do’s or don’t’s before the big red carpet day?
HK: I try to live a healthy balanced life always, so I don’t do anything different before the big day. I think you get into trouble if you’re experimenting with crazy or drastic beauty treatments the day before!

But, I do like to have sun-kissed skin for the red carpet, so I apply Bare Bronze Gleaming Self Tan Tint mixed with Bare Bronze Daily Glow Moisturizer the day before. Top with a little Sexy Little Things Shimmer Powder and you’re glowing for the red carpet!

Heidi’s Red Carpet secrets are…

Sneak Peek: A behind-the-scenes sneak peak at Maybelline’s new commercial for Great Lash Big (same great formula, bigger brush)!

This wasn’t a traditional casting process. BIG, the Great Lash Big mascot, trekked the streets of NYC to find charismatic, aspiring women to make a big impression (and appear in the Great Lash Big Gig)!

Watch the Great Lash Big Gig here:

Sandy Linter, celebrity makeup artist and Lancôme’s Beauty at Every Age Expert, has told us that her bridal clients always ask to look like a Kardashian on their big day. Well, now that Khloe has tied the knot with L.A. Laker Lamar Odom, Sandy has a true blue Kardashian bride to reference.

We thought Khloe looked beautiful and now we know why. Khloe’s makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic told  that he finished the bride’s smoky eyes with Lancôme Hypnôse Custom Volume Mascara mascara. “It’s Khloe’s fave!” raved sister Kim, OK!’s contributing beauty editor. “He wanted her youthful look to shine through and kept her makeup natural and dewy,” added Kim. We say mission accomplished!

Not surprisingly, Hypnôse Custom Volume Mascara, $24.50, remains one of Lancôme’s best-selling mascaras. Its patented brush and fluid, vitamin B5-enriched formula deliver six times the volume, all without a clump or a smear.
