Estée Lauder Introduces: Holiday 2009.

This past October Estée Lauder has launched the Ultimate Red Color. Here the highlights:

The Ultimate Red Color Collection is a luxurious, opulent collection. The classic navy blue, Signature Estée Lauder packaging has been transformed to a holiday gold, encasing jewel-inspired shades of lavish plums and gold flecked caramels. Lips create a high impact in deep shades of cranberry and blackberry while the skin is lightly dusted in luminous, shimmer powder. Available at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and www.esteelauder.com

Featuring a unique, holiday-inspired, lattice patterned texture, the Signature Eyeshadow Quads make it easy to build an eye look from soft and subtle warmth to a more dramatic and striking effect. Simply mix, match and/or blend the four eyeshadow shades to expertly create a seductive holiday eye look. Packaged in a specially designed, festive golden compact with two dual ended applicators that make application a breeze, the Signature Eyeshadow Quads ensure eyes will dance with delight for the holidays.

For added allure, line eyes with Estée Lauder’s New Gel Eyeliner in black. This new gel eyeliner allows you to create a precise dark line or a smudgy, smoky eye. The unique formula is housed in a charming pot, featuring a glistening golden cap and petite eyeliner brush for the perfect, precise application every time. And, with a long-wearing, color-true formula, this eyeliner ensures that eyes continue to look fresh no matter how late the holiday festivities go!

Red carpet beauty scoop: Get the look of Mary-Louise Parker at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Mary-Luise makeup look was created by Makeup Artist: Tina Turnbow for Maybelline New York.

Stepping onto the red carpet in a single strapped, deep purple Zac Posen dress – Mary-Louise Parker was ready to shine at the Emmy’s! Tina was inspired by the deep purple and indigo tones in Mary-Louise’s dress, and her gorgeous gunmetal grey accessories. To play up the colors in Mary-Louise’s dress, Tina brought out her best features with a dramatic yet classic smoky eye, blushing pink cheeks and nude lips.

Face: Because Mary-Louise has beautiful porcelain skin, Tina kept her face looking pristine by applying Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse in Classic Ivory – with touches of Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Concealer in Light under the eyes and to the tops of the cheeks to give a contoured look.

Cheeks: To compliment her ivory skin, Tina brushed on Maybelline New York Mineral Power Naturally Luminous Blush in Gentle Pink to the apples of the cheeks to give the look of a soft natural flush.

Eyes: Tina’s inspiration for Mary-Louise’s entire look was the gorgeous opal-toned smoky eye she created with Maybelline New York Expert Wear Stylish Smokes in Amethyst Smokes. Tina used all four shades in the palette to play up her eyes and add drama; the deep purples complemented her creamy skin and dark hair. She then followed with Maybelline New York Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner in Black on the upper and lower lash lines. To showcase the gorgeous jewel tones of the shadows, Tina only applied one coat of Maybelline New York Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara in Very Black. Pulse Perfection 

Lips: For a barely-there, neutral lip, Tina lined the entire mouth with Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lip Liner in Toast. She then followed up with Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick in Nearly There.

Body: To complete the look, a soft dusting of Maybelline New York Mineral Power Illuminator in Nude was brushed along her collar bones, arms and legs for a red carpet glow.
