“Matching your lipstick to your nail lacquer is a hot makeup trend. We chose four new shades that showcase the theatrical and playful side of looking good. They are the perfect compliment to any festive outfit and can be worn in a young, ironic interpretation or with a more grown-up, sophisticated vibe. Just like a piece of jewelry.”
—Famed makeup artist, Pat McGrath
Gem-encrusted lipsticks in rich hues of ruby, amethyst, amber, and emerald are the latest offering from Dolce & Gabbana’s Sicilian Jewels collection. With a range of four nail colors to follow suit, matchy-matchy lips and nails are no longer considered a beauty faux pas. Hoorah.
Jewel-tipped lipstick caps make for statement powder room fodder and also make dinner table touch-ups a little more of an acceptable practice. Yet, this collection is not just designed as a gimmick to attract our inner magpie, and the highly pigmented formulas have beauty mavens talking.
The Classic Cream Lipsticks are rich in pigment and have notable holding power. (A gentle reminder that this fairly new makeup brand is designed with the modern-day woman in mind.) Dark green is a little kooky when it comes to the color spectrum, but I’m sure that Lady Gaga and her legions of loyal fans will give it a go.
With nail bars popping up as fast as coffee shops in our region, nail varnish is a very important part of our weekly beauty routine. The Intense Nail Lacquer gives true color in just one coat, so no need to spend hours waiting for your talons to dry. This season I urge you to ditch the white tips and opt for rich, glossy nails that scream glamour.
