Tom Ford’s Spring 2012 cosmetic collection steers clear of the season’s usual brights and pastels by introducing shades of molten metallics like silvery smoke, burnished gold and shimmering copper. The collection creates a look of sensual radiance with the smooth and long-wearing Cream Color for Eyes, metallic nail polishes with unique mirror pearls and the Gold Dust lip lacquer infused with gold-pearl particles.

Inspired by aristocratic wildness but geared towards the young and adventurous D&G lover, the new Dolce & Gabbana Khol Collection consists of bold and dramatic colors. Five new khol eye pencils headline the launch and emphasize the look of a sultry and smoky eye. Deep shades of shimmering black, chocolate, teal, taupe, navy and burgundy are also available for your nails and eyes.

Summertime 2012 Collection by Yves Saint Laurent

Inspired by the idea of a chic YSL woman lounging by the swimming pool, the Summer 2012 Collection features several new technologies. For instance, the “Sun Radiance” pigments in the Terre Saharienne Collector bronzing powder capture light for a golden reflection on the skin, while a water-process technology in the Pure Chromatics eyeshadow provides dramatic shades ranging from cool colors to warm pinks. For intense eye color impact, use the bright blue waterproof mascara and define your eyes with a pop of blue eyeliner. Compliment your eyes with a wild red or coral lip color.

Beach Lover Set by NARS

The NARS Beach Lover Summer set contains travel sizes of five iconic shades that will leave you feeling tropical. Begin your Summer look with the Illuminator in Laguna for a golden-brown glow and continue with a duo blush set of Orgasm and Hungry Heat for a peach and golden glimmer. Top it off with the iridescent copper shade of the Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Skorpios and the limited-edition Laguna lip gloss.

The latest MAC collaboration with Chen Man is entitled Love & Water and displays a true East-meets-West make-up collection.
