Dior Mitzah Collection for Fall 2011

Introducing the Dior Mitzah Collection, inspired by Mitzah Bricard, the audacious and glamorous muse to Christian Dior.
Born in Paris to an English mother and Austrian father, Mitzah Bricard captured the fascination of Christian Dior at the very beginnings of the house. While she was officially responsible for the Dior hat collection, she played a key role in advising and influencing the couturier on many aspects of the brand, including the creation of the ―New Look.
Known for her love of leopard (she wore a leopard scarf wrapped around her wrist at all times), the color lilac and over-the-top jewelry, it was said that Mitzah could ―turn the ordinary into stylish.
“Ms. Bricard is one of those rare people whose only reason for living is elegance,” Monsieur Dior said of his muse, whose unique extravagance helped inspire many of his designs.
The collection, featuring a limited edition 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow palette stamped in the iconic leopard pattern, two Vernis shades inspired by the same earthy print and a tawny, shimmering brown Diorshow mascara, pays homage to this one-of-a-kind woman.

The Collection

• Mitzah 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow ($60.00) (Limited Edition)
• Vernis in Camel / Ebony ($22.00 each) (Limited Edition)
• Diorshow Mascara in Golden Brown ($24.50) (Limited Edition)

Mitzah Collector Palette ($90.00) (Limited Edition)

Each numbered, limited edition eyeshadowpalette reproduces the legendary ―Jungle‖ panther/ leopard print—now a signature print of the House of Dior—favored by MitzahBricard. Shades of elegantcamel, chocolate brown and beige shadow can be applied separately or combined to create a sumptuous tawny shade.

availability: Sephora, September 2011

Keri Hilson's Makeup Look for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards

I absolutely love Keri's makeup for the Billboard Music Awards!!!!  She looks flawless!!! 
Here's how to get Keri's makeup look....Celebrity Ashunta Sheriff so graciously shared the details and inspiration behind Hilson's look.  It was very 1970's inspired with icy pastel colors made modern and fresh by infusing warm golden and copper colors to make Keri's skin glow.

face. Sheriff started with Dior Skinflash Primer Radiance Boosting Makeup Primer. She followed up DiorSkin Nude Natural Glow Creme Gel in #40. Hilson wore Queen Collection Mineral Bronzer in Light Bronze all over the face. Sheriff created a light contour on the nose with this bronzer as well.

eyes. Tarte Dark Circle Defense Natural Under Eye Corrector in Medium-Deep was applied to the eye area. Sherff blended Ben Nye Banana Visage Poudre to set it to lift Hilson's eyes "without looking too light and unnatural." Sheriff added a touch of Girlactik Heaven's Dust in Gold in the inner corner of the eyes. Hilson's brows are "mute" thanks to Christian Dior DiorShow Brow Fixing Gel in No 541 Shiny Blond. This shade really lifted Keri's eyes.

Sheriff used CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire to create Hilson's mutlicolored eyes. She applied Step 1 all over the lid, blended to the browbone. Step 2 was applied in the crease. Both colors were blended until the color naturally faded. CoverGirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Green Glow was applied on the top and bottom lash lines and then blended was a small, tapered brush to diffuse the color.

Hilson is wearing both the Diva and 2nd Date Guaranteed Lashes from Ja'Maal Buster's JB Couture Lash Line. Sheriff used two coats of Dior DiorShow 360 Mascara to blend both lashes as this "gives a natural look." The finishing touch was Milani's Liquid Eye Liner in Black which Sheriff used to create Hilson's slight winged eyes for "that retro chic look of the 70's."

cheeks. Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Tipsy was blended on the apples of the cheeks. Some of the Girlactik Heaven's Dust in Gold was added on the cheekbones to make Keri's face "pop."

lips. Hilson is wearing CoverGirl LipPerfection Lip Color in Heavenly topped with Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in Mocktail Hour. This gloss was just applied in the center of the lips so they looked "full and sexy."

body. Sheriff first sprayed Hilson's legs with Dior DiorSkin AirFlash Spray Foundation set with Tarte Celebutante Dry Oil Shimmer Spray. This spray not only added a shimmery glow but it also helped to make Hilson's legs slimmer.

Vincent Longo Galaxy Dream Collection for Spring/Summer 2011

Earth now looks out beyond her boundaries to define her place in the cosmos. In her gaze glimmers a universe of exciting, endless possibility—galactic juxtapositions of matte colour clouds and gleaming blendable pearls of light. With a conceptually post-modern nod to fearless Barbarella and an eye on outer space, Vincent Longo’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection invites you to explore wonderful new horizons in ultramodern colours and textures. “Galaxy Dream” maps the ethereal beauty of distant nebulae and places it at your fingertips, reflecting starlight in your style, with your touch, to create personalized looks of stunning galactic magic.

Pearl X Eyeshadow ($25.00)

The Pearl X eyeshadows feature rich colour coverage in a matte base showered with tiny pearlescent meteors of colour and pressed together in out-of-this-world combinations. Quantum leaps in beauty technology permits evolutionary Pearl X eyeshadows to pair matte powders and pearlized textures, and maintain the integrity of each texture perfectly consistent throughout the press and for the life of the product. Upon application, these pigment pearls combine and glide through the matte base, creating incredible looks unique to your touch, and bringing new glimmer and grace to your personal style. With each application, for every occasion, a star is born, a new world awakens. You choose your destination; “Galaxy Dream” leads the way. Simply direct the finger toward the area you desire; Vincent’s touch-sensitive pigments will blend themselves with the specific gravity of your touch for a unique eye of heavenly beauty.

• Code 6 Pink explores galactic centers with a playful shower of magenta and gold pressed throughout a cloud nebula of matte turquoise, antique rose and charcoal
• Destiny Rose shifts the springtime into outer space, combining a matte green, pink and lavender carpet with sparkling seeds of garnet, blue, silver and lavender for an ultramodern yet fresh look
• Etherea evokes the mineral and metallic richesse of gold, bronze and copper, with highlights in warm bursts of rich topaz on a palette of matte brown, for blends both earthy and otherworldly
• Luna Beach plays peacock with brown, grey and purple matte bases pressed with hot pink, electric blue and copper pearls that blend in texture and depth as they mix with flecks of gold and green
• Novalei looks forward with sophisticated silver sheen, combining deep purple, blue and silver accents of saturated glimmer across a matte palette of sophisticated grey-greens to lighter lavender-blues

Perfect Shine V Gloss ($22.00)

Vincent’s Perfect Shine V Gloss with plumper anchors the ethereal qualities of the eye makeup, enhances the lip’s natural pout, and greets the onlooker with four luscious compliments. The unique plumper developed from natural Tripeptide in Perfect Shine V Gloss volumizes fine lines and gives the lip contour an eye-catching star quality sheen every time. Vitamin C ester adds dual power anti-oxidant protection.

• Alpha 7 Sensuous, kissable fuchsia at lips’ brightest
• Carina Playful peach tone that imparts a warm sheen
• Ella Erth-rich natural mauve brown with cool undertones

The concealers’ felt-tipped automatic applicator pens make even, streak-free canvases effortless and efficient for any colour skin. In addition, two peptides—one to help reduce puffiness, the other to help erase dark circles—plus Arnica extract to increase blood circulation and minimize discolouration to the under eye area, put the Perfect Canvas Liquid Concealer light years ahead in both performance and benefit for your skin.
