NARS introduces the Fall 2011 Color Collection

The Fall 2011 collection is resolutely avant-garde. Daring shots of color are tempered with softer, subtler tones. Eyes range from bright true blue to silvery taupe, dazzling peach and matte dove gray. Lips run the gamut from statement making matte red to sophisticated plum and sparkling champagne pink.A stormy gray nail color adds a mysterious finishing touch. The effect is confident, edgy and intense.

The Fall 2011 campaign was designed and photographed by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars. Under his supervision, makeup artist Diane Kendal created the season’s look on model Mariacarla Boscono. The Italian beauty was chosen for her sophistication and chameleon-like ability to become the character she is made up to portray.

OUTREMER

French for “overseas,” the richly pigmented single eyeshadow—a bold blue hue—allows for a range of stunning eye effects, from soft and sheer to intenseand fashion-forward.

GRAND PALAIS

Named for the Parisian exhibition hall and museum complex near the Champs Elysées, this silvery taupe and dusty rose duo eyeshadow is a universally flattering, neutral palette. Wear each shade solo or layered for myriad soft effects.

DELPHES

The rich history of Delphi, Greece, the place of worship of the god Apollo, inspired this trio eyeshadow, which combines a sparkling sheer peach with a matte dove gray and a frosted sage. Wear each shade alone or experiment with combinations of two and three shades for a truly devotional look.

OASIS

The perfect complement to a bold eye, this sparkling pink-champagne lip gloss works equally well alone or layered over lip color for a more nuanced look with pumped-up shine.

TRAIN BLEU

This deep aubergine velvet matte lip pencil is as opulent as the infamous French night express train for which it’s named.

PAGO PAGO

Named for the capital city of American Samoa in the South Pacific, this petalpink shimmering sheer lipstick delivers gentle color reminiscent of the islands.

MONTEGO BAY

Laced with moisturizing wild mango butter, this versatile rose-pink pure matte lipstick glides on with ease while delivering an ultra-matte finish.

MASCATE

The French name for the capital city of Oman, located on the Arabian Sea, this true red pure matte lipstick is both mysterious and dramatic.

GALION

This deep gray nail polish creates a luxe smoky look.

Liya Kebede::The New Face of L’Oreal Paris

Liya Kebede, an international model, entrepreneur, actress, humanitarian and true advocate for mothers and children as well as a mother herself, today joins L’Oréal Paris.

“Liya is a very strong, inspiring, and courageous woman, with an extremely refined and enchanting beauty. Her generous commitment to the cause of women’s wellbeing is also remarkable,” says Cyril Chapuy, Global Brand President of L’Oréal Paris.

“It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality. I’m pleased to play a part in sharing the uniqueness, the charisma, and the incredible stories of women of all origins and from all regions of the world,” says Liya Kebede.

Liya Kebede’s career began when she was in high school in Addis-Adaba, Ethiopia. Scouted by a modelling agency, she left Africa for France at the age of 18, and top-level international designers like Tom Ford, then the Artistic Director for Gucci, quickly fell under her charm. Since then, her elegance and her beauty have been remarked at Fashion Weeks around the world, and she has been featured on covers of international fashion magazines (Vogue, Flair, I-D), emerging as a key figure in the industry.

Liya’s talent has also been noticed within the cinema profession. Following her appearance in The Good Shepherd in 2006, alongside Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie, Liya then played the role of model Waris Dirie in Desert Flower in 2009, film adaptation of a New York Times Best Selling Novel bearing the same name.

Liya dedicates much of her time and energy to humanitarian causes, about which she is passionate. In 2005, she was nominated as a Goodwill Ambassador for the World Health Organisation (WHO), for maternal, neonatal, and infant healthcare. Her commitment was such that, just a few months la­ter, she established the Liya Kebede Foundation, raising money for the Durame Hospital in Awassa, Ethiopia, with the goal of providing healthcare material.

In 2007, she created her own clothing line, Lemlem, which aims to support the trade of local artisans in Africa by valorising their expert craftsmanship and create self-sustaining economies.

Liya today becomes part of the L’Oréal Paris family as a Spokeswoman, joining Ines de la Fres­sange, Gwen Stefani, Freida Pinto, Jane Fonda, Aimee Mullins, Jennifer Lopez, Laetitia Casta and Gerard Butler.

Honores des Pres:: Organic and Natural by Olivia Giacobetti

A Jar is a small globe of glass, which captures natural light.  Sometimes, gardners make them with pieces of glasses, to protect the growth.  Occasionally, these jars are even used to protect fruit trees from any danger.  Every jar is telling a story: experimentation, greed.  They are all protecting the freshness of the pure extracts.

Since the beginning of its launching, Honore wanted his perfumes into a special container: to protect them from any possible impacts and make their crazy powers stronger.

Olivia Giacobetti took great care, in the most bohemian improvisation, to refer to the fragments of convulsive, passionate and dynamics of nature.  Among the artists of nature, she took up the challenge of being first to create real organic perfumes, delicate and authentic, forbidding herself any ease.

Creations, with no basic identification, stylized, purified to start the freedom of the imagination.

Nu Green: Pure Eau, simple and well being

Inspired by a refreshing swim in a natural rock pool in the heart of nature, one morning of spring.  An egocentric perfume for those who keep their secrets private and resource themselves before leaving for the conquest of the city.  The ultimate in Parisian luxury, an “eau” of nothing…Leaves of green mint, herbs, Indian organic musc, tarragon, cedar wood.

The collection is available exclusively at Colette Paris and will be available worldwide in the next few months.
