MAKEUP NEWS! Fashion meets makeup! Top designers hit the beauty scene

If you've stopped into a Sephora lately or been keeping up with your fashion news, you probably already know about some new designer makeup collections that recently launched this Fall! Fashion heads Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Jason Wu are branching out from the fashion world with their own beauty lines, just as Dior, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent have done before. Now makeup and fashion connoisseurs alike can have access to a "designer label" at a more affordable price point. Whether or not women are buying more clothes in our economy today, they never seem to stray from the beauty scene.

High end makeup just seems to quench that thirst for something luxurious, especially when it has the designer name to back it up. It's true, applying your lipstick with that gorgeous gold YSL tube can make any day feel just a little more special.


Marc Jacobs can be found at Sephora, select Marc Jacobs stores,
Sephora.com and marcjacobsbeauty.com
Products range from $18-$78

So what's so unique about these new collections?

Marc Jacobs created his 122 piece line with Sephora, featuring lipsticks, eye shadow palettes, mascara, foundations, nail polishes, brushes and more. He named many of the shades after film titles and characters, hoping to help make the collection more relatable and personal. I got a sneak peak at some of the palettes in Sephora and they're absolutely gorgeous! It looks like a really fun line.

Michael Kors can be found at Macy's, Michael Kors shops,
macys.com and michaelkors.com
Products range from $18 to $95

Michael Kors, one of my favorite designers, developed products for face, lips and nails with Estee Lauder as well as a fragrance. He emphasizes a bronzed, natural look in his collection with lots of neutrals as well as some pops of color, definitely complementary to his signature "relaxed jet setter" vibe in the clothing line. He divided the line into three categories: Sporty, Sexy, Glam.
Sounds like it has a little something for everyone!

Jason Wu's 15 piece line for Lancôme includes eyeliner, mascara, eye shadows, nail polish and more. "It's always been such an important part of my shows, and I felt like this was a really natural progression for me," Wu says of creating a makeup line. The collection carries some beautiful shades from Wu's recent shows, including the stunning indigo color in the Violet Streak palette used to create the violet cat eye on models in his fall runway show (a popular trend!).



Jason Wu can be found at Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman
and Nordstrom.com
Products range from $18 to $51

I'm definitely looking forward to trying out some goodies from these new lines.
Perfect timing for the holidays! ;)
