Estée Lauder introduces The Pure Color Modern Mercury Collection for Fall 2011. This limited edition collection is a texturally graphic collection inspired by modern, avant-garde architecture. The focus is on molten metallic eyes with a soft shimmering canvas with edgy matte lips and a twisted shade of green on the nails to compliment. Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux debuted the collection at the Derek Lam Fall 2011 show.
Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelee (Retail $40.00)
A new “tribrid” system of liquid, powder and gel revolutionizes makeup application and wear with the new Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelée. This first-of-a-kind, “multi-powder” formula creates a theatrical blur of shimmer on the skin when applied dry and a fierce flush of color when applied wet. The unique suspension of golden pigments and pearls float on top of the skin, resulting in a truly unique sensorial experience for skin. The futuristic powder is flexible and uses a luminosity boosting complex that makes the complexion appear perfectly smooth, sexy and glowing with a polished finish.
