6th: YSL

With gold, peach, lilac, violet and turquoise, YSL’s fall 2010 makeup collection, Rock & Baroque, is colorful and carries a decadent flair. I like the color combinations of the two new Ombres Duolumières (lilac & brown and gold & deep blue).

Sofina Aube Couture will release Designing Puffy Cheek in Japan on December 7th. (Cosme.Net hasn’t mentioned how many shades will be available.)
I am assuming that this is part of Aube Couture’s spring 2011 makeup collection. (The line tends to release its seasonal collections relatively early. Its fall 2010 makeup collection was out on June 15th.) I will update this post with more information later on.

Dual Emotion Eyes in EX11 and Eyelash Shade in EX13 are also sold separately. The combined retail price of the two items is the same as the price of the kit (9450 JPY).

Fall 2010 Makeup Collection

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:

(image/info from www.kao.co.jp/est)Kao Est will release its fall 2010 makeup collection in Japan on July 24th. The collection includes:
– Dual Emotional Eyes (4 variations)
– Emotional Aura Lips (3 new shades, limited editions)
– Livelish Lip Base
The top two shades in the Dual Emotional Eyes palettes will have a different finish from that of the bottom two shades (hence the name of the series).

6. Paul & Joe

I think, for many people, the highlight of Paul & Joe’s spring 2010 collection is the Disney Character Collection, which features the Alice in Wonderland characters. For me, I also like the new eyeshadow singles (Select Eye Colors). A while ago, I was told by a Paul & Joe sales assistant that they might not be launched in the UK. But, fortunately, I recently saw them in Harrods. All the 25 shades are available here.
5. Maquillage

There are five Eyes Creator (3D) palettes in Maquillage‘s spring 2010 collection. All of them feature light-to-medium colors, which look very wearable. I particularly like PK766 (with a hint of peach) and BR765 (with a hint of gold). The new shades of Eye Color N (Powder) include GD, BE, and BR shades as well.
4. Est

I still haven’t tried items from Est, but I nearly decided to go for a couple of items on several occasions. In the spring 2010 collection, I like the look of the Emotional Multiple Eyes palettes in 09 and 11. 09 reminds me of Magie Deco’s Shadow Brilliance II in Foxy Lady, while 11, with lilac, pink, and yellow gold, reminds me of Lunasol’s Sheer Contrast Eyes in Lavender Coral.
The countdown concludes in Part 3.

Sofina Primavista will release Long Keep Base (SPF 10, PA+) in Japan on February 22nd as the line’s spring/summer 2010 base makeup item. Like many of the foundation bases released by Japanese makeup lines, it is claimed to be resistant to sebum and perspiration.

It is hard to believe that 2009 is coming to an end. Before we celebrate the arrival of 2010, it is now time to present my favorite holiday 2009 collections.
10. Coffret D’Or
(image from www.nikkei.co.jp)
For me, 2009 is another good year for Kanebo’s Coffret D’Or and the line is still as exciting as it was last year. This year’s LuxuLight Collection palettes contain eyeshadows and lip colors, like last year’s The Party Makeup Collection. The colors are housed in a lovely case with a festive vibe.
9. Aube Couture

Another makeup palette for eyes and lips. The Designing Jewel Compacts feature four variations to choose from, which are more than the usual one or two from holiday makeup palettes from Japanese beauty lines. The eyeshadows are arranged in the case in the same way as those in the usual eye palettes (Designing Eyes) from the line.
8. Sonia Rykiel
(image from fanet.jp)
I like Sonia Rykiel’s signature multi-colored stripes and it is nice to see them on Palettes Yeux Couleurs. The collection also includes two makeup sets, both including purple packaging for the makeup items and a purple makeup case.
7. Paul & Joe
(image from www.paul-joe-beaute.com)
Paul & Joe also brought out purple packaging for holiday 2009. The purple and gold cases are both on-trend and glamorous. Paul & Joe’s makeup is known for wearable colors, and most of these items are certainly very easy to wear. (See my review of some of the items in the collection here.) The collection also includes the new Lip Lacquer, the re-launched fragrances (Blanc and Bleu), the new bodycare items, and Cosmetic Pouch III, which are regular items.
