L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection Privee - The Nudes Collection

L'Oreal Paris Collection Privee
Julianne Nude in Barely Peach

In time for Spring/Summer 2014 trends in beauty, the new L’Oreal Paris Collection Privee from the L’Oreal Color Riche range comes in six limited edition nude shades to suit every skin tone. The six lipsticks are linked to the names of famous women with different complexions and hair colour. This new line of natural, muted colours is represented by spokespersons Doutzen Kroes, model; actress Eva Longoria, actress Julianne Moore, celebrity Cheryl Cole, actress Freida Pinto and Ethiopian model Liya Kebede. The L’Oreal website shows you how to choose the nude lipstick to suit your own colouring. The Collection Privee colour I tested was the Julianne Nude in Barely Peach to suit my own pale winter skin and red hair. Barely Peach enhances a very fair complexion. It is a natural, softening, rich nude pink. All of the L’Oreal Nudes are neutral colours and provide a pearl, sheer finish. The matte black and gold casing adds a deluxe quality to this very fine lipstick. Available to buy now online or at Boots, Superdrug and good beauty retail outlets RRP £8.19. And, copper tones around the eyes and a moisturized, clear complexion will reflect the new nude colours when Spring arrives. One look to suit the weather!

Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2014
New York Fashion Week September 2013

THE LOOK: Ultra-polished, understated glamour. The truest of nudes on the lips – ‘Always Delicate’ directional, chic and long-lasting, reflecting the S/S14 trend for a shade that delivers a coveted, contemporary full lip look.  Modern and fresh, it is part of a new Spring/Summer collection of Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Colour shades – the ‘Ready-to-Wear collection’ - handpicked by Pat McGrath, release date Spring 2014. Lips were complemented by warm, copper tones on the eyes and radiant skin. 

“So many women struggle to find the right nude shade to recreate this signature, super-polished and enduring nude lip look – or they think they have to ditch the lipstick, which is absolutely not what this Victoria Beckham S/S14 look is about.  This is refined, sophisticated makeup.  And we have the ultimate nude – Always Delicate!  Totally wearable, for all skin tones, and on-trend, it’s a shade preview from my Ready-to-Wear Lipfinity Lip Colour collection for Max Factor – 11 gorgeous shades of long-lasting lip colour”,  Pat McGrath, Max Factor Global Creative Design Director

THE SHOW INSPIRATION: The aesthetics of modern architecture and the merging of boyish versus girlish sensibilities: the exploring of new proportions and silhouettes, streamlined and balanced shapes and lines, and the juxtaposition of masculine elements and feminine perspectives
