Integrate has been slowly changing its brand image. (Remember the TV ads starring Angelina Jolie when the brand was first launched several years ago?) Integrate is now a cuter and more girlie line, and the new Rainbow Grade Eyes series from Integrate’s fall 2010 makeup collection makes a clear statement regarding how the line wants to be perceived. The message is clear.

Kanebo Coffret D’Or‘s website has been updated with information on the line’s spring 2011 makeup collection. You can now see all the shades/variations of the new items.

(Eyes Appeal Shadow)
.
The new eyeshadow palettes are of course what I am the most interested in. The new Eyes Appeal Shadow features five variations:
– 01 Sweet Brown
– 02 Fairy Pink
– 03 Clear Silver
– 04 Nudy Beige
– 05 Mint Purple
.
(Perfect Grade Eyes)
.
The new Perfect Grade Eyes (Coffret D’Or’s first eyeshadow duos) features four variations:
– 01 Pink
– 02 Green
– 03 Purple
– 04 Beige
.
At the moment, I like the look of Eyes Appeal Shadow in 01 Sweet Brown and 02 Fairy Pink as well as Perfect Grade Eyes in 03 Purple.

Color-wise, the fall 2010 makeup trends seem to be a natural progression from the last few seasons. Beiges and browns dominated spring 2010, and they are still a key trend in fall 2010, (Gone are the grays, which were prominent in fall 2009, as a major color trend.) Meanwhile, purples shone last fall and they have taken on a few varied hues this season.

Beiges & Browns
RMK puts browns firmly on center stage with the Autumn Brown collection. The limited-edition Brown Eyes palettes feature various brown tones. (The palettes are called Deep Brown, Dark Brown, Red Brown, Yellow Brown and Beige Brown.) Guerlain‘s new Écrin 6 Couleurs palettes are also based on a variety of neutral tones, while SUQQU‘s revamped makeup line lays the groundwork with six Blend Color Eyeshadow palettes, all with neutral hues.

Pinks, Mauves, Purples & Plums
Biteki (September 2010) calls them the berry tones, and those who are not enticed by the skin-tonal colors and who are interested in more vibrant shades might want to look into these mouth-watering colors.
Dior‘s 5 Color Design palette in Pink Design includes a dusty pink and a sophisticated muted purple. Estée Lauder‘s Pure Color 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Surreal Violet offers some delicious berry shades. Addiction‘s fall 2010 makeup collection includes berry-toned items for eyes as well as lips. (Refer to the link for the new items for lips.)

Mix & Match
What is interesting is that many brands feature both color trends in their fall 2010 makeup collections (either in one single item or in various items in the collection). Here are some of the highlights:

I have received Coffret D’Or Beauty C Curve Eyes in 04 Peach Beige and Lavshuca Eye Color Select in BR-1. I will be sharing my thoughts on them later on!
In the meantime, you can see my posts on Lavshuca Eye Color Select in PK-1, BU-1 & PU-2.

Please check out the updates of these fall 2010 makeup collections:
– Lunasol (link to great swatches)
– Coffret D’Or (image of the two limited-edition Beauty C Curve Eyes palettes and link to images)
– Jill Stuart (link to images of the collection at a press event)
My fall 2010 makeup shopping list is getting longer and longer. This is not good!

Kanebo Coffret D’Or will release its fall/winter 2010 base makeup collection in Japan on September 1st. The collection includes:
– Silky Fit Pact (SPF20, PA++, 7 shades)
– Silky Fit Cream Foundation (SPF21, PA++, 7 shades)
– Melty Essence Fix (primer, SPF24, PA++)
– Creamy Cover Fix (primer, SPF 21, PA++)
– Moist Flat Coat (primer for eye and lip areas)
– Mode Control Face Color (2 variations)
– Beauty C Curve Eyes (2 limited-edition variations)
I wonder what color combinations the two Beauty C Curve Eyes palettes will feature. A purple one, perhaps?

Details and photo of the two new (limited-edition) variations:
(06 Smoky Brown)
(07 Plum Wine)

Even though, according to this image, the plum in 07 Plum Wine might be a little too dark for me, I am still quite interested in trying the palette.
You can see more images of the collection here.
