NARS National Makeup Artist, Uzo created this look for the Joy Cioci show at New York Fashion Week 2011. It seems that the very bold, bright lip continues into the next few seasons. According to Uzo,

“Radiant skin is having a moment again, we were seeing very matte skin throughout the past few seasons, but dewiness is back, paired with a precisely-lined, bold lip. It’s elegant, but it’s tough.”
Here’s what she created and the key products used:
It’s a lip creme actually! I’m talking about the new Soft Matte Lip Cremes from NYX Cosmetics. This is the last part of my mini haul. These products came out earlier this year and there has been a lot of buzz surrounding these. The Lip Cremes come in packaging similar to the typical lip gloss with matte, rubberized caps and the doe foot applicator. The lip cremes are supposed to be more pigmented than a lip gloss but more moisturizing than a matte lipstick. These come in 11 colours and I paid $4.50 each from beautyjoint.com. What a steal! These products are similar to the Stila Long Wear Liquid Lip Color.
I purchased 3 colours:
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo
Here’s my mini haul! As per usual, M.A.C. brings out a summer collection that I love. Large collection, with many components, so there is something for everyone. Very bronze and very bright.
Anyway, did not get much, just some must-haves for me! Still thinking about some the lipsticks and the stick bronzers (although they remind me of the NARS multiples).
My favourite season!! Love bright colours and bronzed looks! I usually like/get excited for the M.A.C. summer collection and this one does not disappoint. M.A.C introduces some new items and repromotes some others.
Collection comes out officially in North America on May 26th. All info courtesy of Specktra.net. Photo via M.A.C.
