Estée Lauder Modern Mercury New Pure Color Fall 2011. New star makeup products to look for this Fall from Estée Lauder created by Tom Pecheux their Creative Makeup Director. Pecheux took the Estée Lauder makeup collection into a new level. Fabulous colors & shades and more bold and long lasting pigments. There is definitely a new era at the Estée Lauder house. Turned me into a loyal fan.

Pure Color Velvet lipstick in Nude Velvet which is matte yet moist and perfect with smoky eyes. If you’re into matte lipsticks this one is brilliant.

Red Velvet lipstick..the classic red and matte. I LOVE this lipstick and shade. I apply just a little bit with my fingers as a stain or with a lip brush for a heavier or bolder effect. It’s the perfect matte. Great lipstick.

Top to Bottom: Pure Color Eye shadow Duo in Modern Mercury and my very favorite Black Chrome (it looks blue here in the pic but it looks black in real life maybe it has blue undertones). This is what I use for smoky eyes. The eye shadow is clean to apply and not too messy like some pigments. Darker eye shadows are better pressed not loose because they are easy to apply and not go all over your face (that happened to me many times with pigments). The effect is bold, sexy, yet clean.

Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelée a new kind of all-over glow Powder + liquid + gel in one to use as an oll-over powder or for highlighting/illuminating.

I also like…Pure Color Liquid EyeLiner in Silver Zinc which is a liquid liner with spectacular sparkling effects…

…And Pure Color Curvaceous Coral 14 a very silky lipstick. The texture is smooth the effect is glossy.

Last night the Estée Lauder brand held a press event in NYC to celebrate women and beauty and the brand’s new philosophy of “Every Woman Can Be Beautiful.” The brand also unveiled the launch of two new revolutionary skincare products for all skintones, Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator and Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator.

‘‘The blues and purples in the collection are iconic colors for autumn and winter. I like to give women choices in the way that they look. From a neutral to a smoky to a fashionable, strong look, these shades can be used with them all.”– Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

L To R: Estée Lauder Blue Dahlia Pure Color Collection. Look 1 Blue Dahlia. Look 2 Surreal Violet.

Introducing the new vision in color for the Fall 2010 season, the Blue Dahlia Pure Color Collection for smoldering eyes, shimmering lips and bold nails. Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux debuted his inspiration for this collection backstage at the Derek Lam Autumn/Winter 2010 Fashion Show. At the “Myth of the West” themed show, Tom created a strong, intensely energetic look that perfectly tied together the design and fantasy of the clothing.

The complete makeup collection includes two distinct looks as well as two complimentary lip products that create a visionary, avant-garde look with a touch of whimsical glamour. In this intensely seductive collection, eyes take center stage in electric blue and vintage violet, lips are shimmering in subtle shades of pale pink and raspberry shine while rich nail hues of deep navy and iridescent lilac complete the look.

RICH, STRIKING EYES

The Pure Color Five Color EyeShadow Palettes in Blue Dahlia and Surreal Violet are a powerful mix of cool, mysterious shades that mimic the fiercely theatrical world at the edge of night. Housed in a sophisticated golden-mirrored compact with oversized Estée Lauder cartouche, each palette holds five mesmerizing shadow and texture combinations to create endless looks that are both enticing and alluring. Layer the different shades and textures for optimal intensity.

Highlight and illuminate your eye look with four new shades of Pure Color EyeShadow in Twilight Rose, Sepia Sand, Enchanted Meadow and Emerald Star for a standout pop of color.

STUNNING, JUICY LIPS DRENCHED IN SHIMMER

Ethereal shades of raw pink and magenta adorn the lips in a soft, sensual shine. Swipe shades of Pure Color Gloss Stick in Rose Dusk, Night Bloom, Orchid Dream and Mauve Mirage and layer with Pure Color Gloss in Rock Candy, Twilight Petal, Raspberry Pop and Star Pink for a subdued lip look that perfectly balances strong eyes for a lasting impression.

SUPER CHIC, LUXE SHADES FOR NAILS

Complement lustrous lips with perfectly polished nails in mythical shades. Estée Lauder’s Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Blue Dahlia and Surreal Violet perfectly pair with the collection to finish off nails and toes in dramatic, fearless color.

DYNAMIC COMPLIMENTARY SHADES FOR LIPS

Give your pout a punch of color with a deep berry shade of Pure Color Gloss or Pure Color Gloss Stick in Midnight Bloom.

Blue Dahlia Fall 2010 Collection

‘‘The beauty of the palettes is that you can create many looks ranging from neutral to dramatic. For a neutral look, use shades 1 and 3. To add more color, blend shades 2 and 4 to your desired intensity and line the eye with shade 5. I want women to play and have fun with the colors!”-Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

Pure Color Night is Limited Edition makeup collection created by Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder. Available Exclusively in Paris.

“I wanted to create the iconic French makeup look; the black smokey eye, dewy skin and kissable lip.”-Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

In November 2009, Estée Lauder named world-renowned makeup artist Tom Pecheux Creative Makeup Director. His first challenge: to create a beauty concept that links iconic French beauty with an iconic American beauty brand.

“As a makeup artist, I am known for making women look beautiful, sensual and sexy,” said Pecheux. “When given the challenge to create a collection exclusively for Paris, I thought it would be perfect to create a nighttime look, because this is when every French woman wants to look her most beautiful. I wanted to translate the seductiveness and femininity of French women into makeup.”

According to Pecheux, Pure Color Night is a collection of three must-have products to experience the chicest of Paris at night…from dusk to dawn.

“I wanted to create the ultimate in French sensuality and sexiness — black eyeshadow for a naughty, smokey eye; highlighter for a healthy glow and lips that men will not be afraid to kiss,” said Pecheux.

Pure Color Ombre Effect EyeShadow in Naughty Black creates a smokey eye with smoldering impact. Featuring a textured trio of matte, shimmer and sparkle, these dramatic black/ brown shades can be used alone or together. $20.00

Pure Color Luminous Powder is an incredibly refined and lightweight powder with a luxurious creamy texture. The Highlight shade adds a sensual glow to skin making it look young, healthy and dewy. $40.00

Pure Color Lip Gelée in Kiss Me saturates lips with a nude rose tint, giving the mouth a just-bitten wet look. Water-like high shine polymers amplify the glass like finish, ensuring a coveted seductive pout. $20.00

The Pure Color Night Collection is housed in chic, blackened-blue packaging with the Estée Lauder cartouche engraved on each lid.

This chic limited edition collection announces the exciting collaboration between Tom Pecheux and Estée Lauder. Available for a limited time, beginning May 2010, in Paris at Bon Marché Rive Gauche, Galeries Lafayette Haussmann and Printemps Haussmann. Limited quantities will be available in New York at Bergdorf Goodman and in London at Selfridges Oxford Street.

Limited availability exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City in June 2010.

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
