Queen of the couture wedding gown, Vera Wang gets set to launch make-up line for the masses and may it forever be spring with a bold coral lip straight from the New York runways.
Vera Wang is launching her own make-up range. The designer – famed for her stunning wedding dresses – has teamed up with Kohl’s stores to release Simply Vera, a line of affordable and stylish cosmetics.
The range includes primers, shadows, moisturisers and lip colours and are all less than $39.50 an item. Vera says the line is about creating a perfect canvas and adding pops of colour, adding, “Make-up should let the real you shine through. Skin is your best accessory.”
Last year, Vera – who has designed wedding gowns for the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Mariah Carey – announced she would be expanding her line in 2012 with a range for Kohl’s including make-up, skin care, bath and body products and beauty accessories.
She said, “As part of my incredible partnership with Kohl’s, I will now be able to offer women all over America my own personal regimen for skin care and make-up. It is an easy, light, modern and effortless approach to beauty and creativity. Like fashion, make-up is also transformational. I love the artistry of make-up to accentuate, enhance or create a mood for any time of day or occasion.”
Clinique Gobal Colour Artist, Jenna Merand slicked a burst of colour on the models’ lips at the Karen Walker Spring 2012 show at New York Fashion Week.
“Karen wanted the models to look youthful and feminine with a sophisticated twist,” explains Jenna Menard. “So I kept the eye very simple, the cheeks healthy and then went for a strong, vibrant lip. I chose bright coral because it’s less expected than red.”
Spring never has to end with this colour and Jenna Menard recommends pairing a bold coral lip with youthful looking cheeks and eyes; “apply with a lip brush so the look is precise while the bright coral keeps it playful.”
Try wearing a neutral eye shadow, peach-toned blush and a few coats of mascara to complete the look with fun, flirty lashes.
