YSL Spring Look Candy Face
February 4, 2012
2012 SPRING LOOK
CANDY FACE
CANDY FACE BY LLOYD SIMMONDS HK$480
Eyes with a captivating, smoky-fruity effect in blue mint, plum, licorice or pink,
speckled with sugary sparkles and lashes sheathed in inky blue.
Cheekbones sculpted with carmine Voile de Blush blended on the upper cheekbones.
A luscious smile, as shiny as tangerine syrup.
On the nails, the fresh touch of a fruit sorbet.
“The gleam of an infinite profusion of dazzling fruit jellies, translucent raspberry and wild strawberry, mandarin orange, melon, mango and persimmon bring a gorgeous flush to the Yves Saint Laurent woman’s face. Her smile is as bright as shining sugared drops and syrups: shocking cherry, tangerine, grape and pomegranate, crystallized rose petals, mint and chocolate.”
Lloyd Simmonds
Creative Director Yves Saint Laurent
STAR PRODUCT ─ VINYL CANDY PALETTE
Vinyl Candy Palette ─ This spring’s star collector’s item eye shadow was inspired by a box of candy overflowing with irresistible colors and textures. Violet, pinks, blackcurrants and gooseberries: Lloyd Simmonds has created a harmony of 4 Couture shades, reminiscent of sugar-coated rock candies.
A Profusion of Color, Luxurious Textures
The density of the pigments, the opulence of the hues, the ultra silky textures: all 4 eye shadows in the Vinyl Candy Palette lend themselves to total indulgence and unlimited expressions of color. Outrageously smoky eyes, intensely seductive, excessively YSL. Let’s rock!
A Multiple, Compact Palette
Smoky intensity or a zingy halo, a pop pink or intriguing plum harmony, the
Vinyl Candy Palette is ideal for creating candid or sophisticated eyes. Night & day make-up for creating velvety, satiny or pearly effects.
The iconic YSL square compact is dressed for the season with a raspberry resin lid stamped with the signature gold logo, like an Yves Saint Laurent fashion accessory.
Customized Color
4 shades to blend, contrast or layer to create your own, personalized look that reflects your moods and desires.
2 pearly eye shadows: luminous raspberry and lilac subtly infused with pearly pigments.
2 satiny eye shadows: blackcurrant and rose petals play up the magic of chiaroscuro.
The Expert’s Secret, by Lloyd Simmonds.
“There are various ways to modulate the intensity of the color: with the brush, to diffuse a vaporous, smoky halo or with the foam applicator tip, to create a lustrous hue, or to mute the iridescent effect.”
LIMITED EDITION
Ombres 5 Lumieres N°13 HK$430
Limited Edition Ombres 5 Lumieres N°13 – A new palette of 5 luminous shades with reflecting pigments and pearls, easy to apply for a soft smoothing and highlighting result.
VOILE DE BLUSH – JELLY BLUSH HK$260
Syrup colors in a water-based gel. A fusion of color and skin.
A flush of pure pleasure brightens the cheeks.
YSL introduces “Chic to Cheeks”.
Evanescent Color, a Delight for the Complexion
An ultra-light, tinted, water-based gel with a jelly texture, Voile de Blush is applied with a caress of a fingertip for an instant blush of glowing health.
Feathery Light Blush
The gel texture is in osmosis with the skin. Impalpable, it forms a satiny veil, soft to the touch. Ultra melting, it “plumps” the cheekbones with a sublime effect.
Nude in Color Sensation
Infused with water soluble pigments, Voile de Blush subtly highlights the cheeks with discreet color and sheer radiance. Pink, lilac, coral or carmine: the colors can be custom-blended and drawn out in a fresh, radiant veil.
Limited Editions: 4 Coture Shades
N°1 Voile Carmin: a bright, candy apple red
N°2 Voile Corail: a bursting-with-health apricot
N°3 Voile Rose: a sparkling pink
N°4 Voile Parme: a luminous lilac
A Brilliant Technological, Sensorial Achievement
1. Color. Water soluble colors give the skin an ethereal hue, sheathing it in a soft, subtle
infinitely adaptable veil of color.
2. Freshness. The high concentration of water and the gelling agent act together to create a
supple, cool, intangible film that assures fresh, long-lasting color.
3. Comfort. A transparent silicone polymer adds soothing comfort and roundness to the
texture; making it glide on and blend beautifully with a finger tip.
4. Hydration. Highly moisturizing glycerin gives the skin a smooth, resilient aspect.
5. Radiance. Tiny mother-of-pearl sparkles add delicate radiance.
VOLUPTÉ SHEER CANDY
Baume Gloss – Couleur Cristal
Sensorial Pleasure to Savor On and On
Melting, intensely indulgent, the formula of Volupté Sheer Candy is enriched with vitamins and emollients that instantly soften and smooth the lips, Hyaluronic Acid Microspheres that ensure long-lasting moisture (up to 8 hours after application) and infused with pomegranate extract, known for its immediate fresh effect and its antioxidant properties to preserve youthful-looking tips. They are plumper, smoother and more beautiful with each application.
Fresh Colors & Syrup Shine
Bright, dynamic, concentrated colors that sheathe the lips with a light, even veil. Vegetable oils and see-through Candelilla Wax generate an intense, long-lasting shine. The color is expressed in all its splendor.
4 Fresh New Fruity-flesh Shades
A technicolor tribute to color with a palette created by Lloyd Simmonds, inspired by candied fruits and flavored with the taste of fresh mangoes.
N°7 Figue Gourmande: a fleshy, carmine red
N°8 Prune Frappee: a rich, frothy purple
N°9 Goyave Sorbet: a daring pink
N°10 Mandarine Acidulee: a radiant tangerine
