Considering that Estée Lauder and Guerlain are obviously ultimately owned by different companies, I think it is intriguing that Estée Lauder’s new Pure Color 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette and Guerlain’s new Écrin 6 Couleurs have a very similar look.
Perhaps more interestingly, they seem to indicate some key fall 2010 makeup trends. Maybe dramatic blues and cool neutrals are back…
(You can see the five variations of Écrin 6 Couleurs here and swatches of some of the shades here.)

Kanebo Twany Glamacy is part of a genre of Japanese makeup (including brands like Lissage and Satiche (which I will feature a bit later)) that is more about sophisticated and wearable colors than about the latest trends.

– Eye Collection ’10AW (2 variations, limited editions)
– Eyeliner Pencil (2 new shades)
– Lipstick (5 new shades)

Kanebo Lunasol will release its fall 2010 makeup collection in Japan on August 20th. The collection features:
– Aurorize Eyes (above, 5 variations)
– Gel Eyeliner (6 shades, brush sold separately)
– Full Glamour Lips S (10 new shades)
– Coloring Cheeks (2 new variations)
Lunasol will also release the following limited-edition items on August 20th:
– Aurorize Nuance Eyes (3 shades)
– Full Glamour Gloss N (3 new shades)
– Nail Finish (3 new shades)
Lunasol hasn’t released any 5-color eye palette series since Geminate Eyes back in fall 2007, and I am sure many Lunasol fans will be looking forward to Aurorize Eyes. I certainly want to see more images of the one with purple and pink. The blue Full Glamour Gloss N is looking good too.
Updated on July 1st 2010:
Here are the images of the five variations of Aurorize Eyes:
(01 Nuance Variation)
(images from www.kanebo-cosmetics.co.jp)
(02 Light Variation)
(03 Gentle Variation)
(04 Soft Variation)
(05 Contrast Variation)
The product photos on the Kanebo website can be a little washed out, and I expect the colors in these palettes to be slightly more vibrant. At the moment, I really like 02 Light Variation, which reminds me of Coral Coral from Lunasol’s spring 2008 collection. All my Lunasol eyeshadow palettes are purple-toned ones, and I have been thinking about getting a neutral one for quite some time. Light Variation looks like a nice neutral palette for me.
04 Soft Variation, the purple-toned one that caught my eye in the beginning, looks more muted than it does in the image at the top (the group photo). I hope the top-left shade will turn out to be more purple-y and less greyish.
You are see more photos of the collection on the blog of the Japanese magazine Very.

Have a look at some great swatches here.
I am still liking 02 Light Variation and 04 Soft Variation. The violet in 04 Soft Variation may be too blue-toned for me but I still like the palette as a whole.

Many thanks to Thenewgirl!

Here is a look at Dior’s fall 2010 makeup collection. The limited-edition star item of the season is 2 Colors Edition Collector (with 1 variation), with the Dior logos embossed onto the two contrastive shades. I think I will skip it and start looking forward to the holiday 2010 star item.
The rest of the collection includes:
– 5 Colors Designer (1 new variation, 808 Pink Design)
– 5 Colors eyeshadow palette (1 new variation, 844 Misty Mauve, limited edition)
– Mascara Diorshow 360
– Diorshow Maximizer (mascara base)
– Sérum de Rouge (4 new shades, including 1 limited edition)
– Dior Addict High Color (2 new shades, including 1 limited edition)
– Dior Addict Ultra Gloss (1 new shade, limited edition)
The new Diorshow 360 mascara is Dior’s version of the battery-powered mascara. It features the “helix blush”, and I am presuming that the brush swivels rather than vibrates.

I have not been an avid fan of Kosé’s Visée. I have only purchased one product from the line (Dual Shine Rouge Palette for holiday 2006), and the packaging and the brand image generally don’t appeal to me. But Visée’s new eyeshadow palette series for fall 2010, Blossom Eyes, is looking pretty good. I am liking the floral patterns, although the case may look too plastic-y in person.
Visée’s fall 2010 makeup collection includes:
– Blossom Eyes (5 variations)
– Lash Blossom Volume (1 shade)
– Lash Blossom Long (1 shade)
The collection will be released in Japan on June 16th.
You can see the promotional image of the collection and the five Blossom Eyes palettes here.
