Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick-Bright Like a Diamond!

 

If there’s two things that the world has come know is that Rihanna doesn’t play when it comes to her fashion or her makeup! And she doesn’t want her fans to sacrifice their fabulousness either. Her latest development? The Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick collection that is dropping June 2020!

What can makeup lovers expect? Major glow and major tone! Slip Shine is coming in hot in 10 new gorgeous shades. Ranging from sultry nudes to “in your face loud and clear;” vibrant, bode hues.

 

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick-Bright Like a Diamond!

Our favorites in the Brady Beauty bunch? A purple and brown shade that will knock your cosmetics socks off! The decadent brown shade is being called BUBBLERUM (omg we Stan the name alone on this one lol). It’s a feisty chocolate hue with a light sparkly shine.

Our second obsession to come out of this lipstick collection is a TANTALIZING purple shade being hailed as VAMPS WHO BRUNCH. Shoot… We like brunch. We enjoy brunch. So why not have a stunning plum lipstick for the occasion? This little beauty is going inside our makeup cases ASAP.

What’s so cool about this entire lineup is that you get the traditional bold Fenty lipstick scheme just a little more muted. So if you are the beauty that likes a little color but not SO much then you will love Slip Shine.

Additionally, if you are the type of lip color fan that struggles between their love of lipstick and lipgloss; then honey… you’re Home (Lol). Fenty Beauty’s Slip Shine comes across as a beautiful harmonious hybrid between a lipstick and lip gloss. Seriously, it’s like your favorite lippie and gloss in your makeup bag had a cute baby. Slip Shine gives your lips exactly what they crave most… color and “you know you want to kiss me” shine.

Moreover, another aspect to love about Fenty Beauty’s latest release is the undeniable moisture. The one thing that some dislike about wearing lipstick is that some formulas can dry your lips out. Leaving you with chapped, flaking skin which no amount of color looks nice sitting on top.

Fortunately, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty changes all of that. The brand not only promises great lip colors but more of the good stuff your lips need to look absolutely amazing. In regards to Slip Shine Fenty Beauty reveals,

“Hey Fenty Family, we’re excited to share with y’all a lot something new that we had in the works! Our Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick is dropping in 10 easy to wear, creamy, and nourishing shades!

Fenty Beauty Flypencil -Rihanna’s First Pencil Eyeliner in 20 Shades!

Fenty Beauty Flypencil

In our loudest DJ Khaled voice, “And another one!” Rihanna is still stepping on the neck of the beauty industry with the second release of the new decade for Fenty Beauty! The Fenty Beauty Flypencil is the cosmetics brand’s FIRST EVER pencil eyeliner release.

It is coming in strong with over 15 different tones AND a sleek design that will enable any user to get a perfect application. How? Simple. Let us tell you all about it!

Fenty Beauty Flypencil -Rihanna’s First Pencil Eyeliner in 20 Shades

 

 

First of all let’s talk texture. Which is an extremely important aspect when it comes to beauty applications. If a product is rough or too dry, it is very hard to be precise. There’s just too much drag.

Beat physics with the help of Flypencil. Rihanna designed her eye pencil to have a smooth formulation. So that it will glide easily where you want to place it.

Furthermore, a creamy texture also helps when it comes to blending. With Flypencil you will not have to struggle with getting it to fade into a gorgeous finish. Blending will be a cinch; also, you will still not have to worry about resembling a raccoon. Due to the that Fenty Beauty’s pencil has amazing staying power.

 

Fenty Beauty Flypencil

 

Which brings us to our next point and awesome feature of this new product… it’s smudge proof baby! Yes and Amen! There is absolutely nothing worse than running liner. So then, no worrying because your makeup looks will LAST and stay in line all day. Thanks to Flypencil being water resistant and longwear. A real blessing for those who are very active (hello gym rats and BOSS ladies);  or are the type that hates to reapply constantly throughout the day.

Well, loves get your cash, cards and savings ready (Lol); because Rihanna’s new Flypencil is retailing for under $25! As of right now, the Fenty Beauty states that each will cost you just $22. A reasonable price that is consistent with the price point of the other FB products already available.

Nevertheless, where can one pick up one of these eye pencils once they officially drop? In the same destinations as normal. We found out that they will be available for purchase at SEPHORA, Boots UK, Harvey Nichols as well as Sephora in JCP.

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP
Beauty

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP -Transform Your Look in Seconds!

 

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP

Started at Sephora and now we here! Yes, makeup loves Fenty Beauty Brow MVP started as a “not so secret” cosmetics rumor at a recent Sephora event held in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, now the official first looks of this new Rihanna makeup product is here; and trust us… it is going to COMPLETELY transform for your makeup!

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP -Transform Your Look in Seconds!

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP

What’s new? The design Baby Girl, you HAVE TO get into this brow product’s design! It’s a dual ended Brow Pencil that makes shaping and defining your eyebrows a cinch.

Seriously, quicker than you can say, “Draw me like one of your French girls Jack;” Brow MVP whips your eyebrows into high gear. How? First of all, magic lies within the pencil itself. It is self-sharpening.

While that in itself may not seem like a big butt deal, in makeup creation it is. You see, as a pencil continues to be used it effects the tip. In a couple of uses you can go from perfection, to omg what happened?! Moreover, the tip is everything, it’s how you make lines look cleaner and more defined.

Self sharpening products rock because they help prevent application issues. Since as with use, the tip tends to get too fat to make a thin line. Furthermore, when it comes to Brow shaping for the most natural looking finish you need precision. Precise, thin strokes that resemble actual Brow hair. Without the self-sharpening feature one would have to constantly use a sharpener in order to consistently get the same great results.

The Fenty Beauty Brow MVP accomplishes this without you even having to think about it. No fat tips! Brow MVP gives you a sharp edge to work with, each and every time. PLUS… this means less makeup equipment is needed, saving you time and money.

No need to invest in eyebrow pencil sharpener because Rihanna’s brow pencil is well-designed to give you the “sharp” look you crave. That’s one of the reasons it’s the MVP (insert cheers and applause).

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP – “Brushing Up” on Technique

Moving on to a few other features we love about this amazing product; let’s talk about that brush honey child! Like… leave it Rih to come with an ACTUAL brush, brush.

With eyebrow pencils most of us are probably use to the kind that is just one row of bristles; OR the kind that resembles an eyelash separation comb tool. Heck, some of us are still out here doing the most with a toothbrush (and we feel no shame lol). Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be Rihanna to just hop on the already non-innovative eyebrow pencil train. She’s extra, and my gawd do we all love her for it!

Her mini brush design will not miss a hair, as you brush your brow hairs into the desired look. Nonetheless, why is a brow brush important in the first place? Brow brushes help to tame and shape your eyebrows.

Why Use a Brow Brush When Shaping

Works the same as an actual hair brush would. When you brush your hair you are able to “tame” strands in order to create a particular style. Brow brushes accomplish the same result. Moreover, regardless, if your brows are thicker than a snicker or super thin a brush will help your brows look 10x better.

For instance, when you take a closer look into current eyebrow trends; you will notice that full brows are all the rage. So then, a trick to creating the illusion of big, hard-not-notice brows is to brush them upward. On the other hand, if your hairs are a little too long and lean looking, you can easily trim them up by snipping the excess hair after brushing them down.

Moreover, some other eyebrow brush tips that we picked up from our makeup pro buddies is to:

• Brush all hairs upward with an eyebrow grooming brush, then use tiny scissors to trim any tips that stick out.

• After brushing hairs up, take a slanted tweezer and pluck strays from beneath your brow to help elongate and slim the face.

The Secret is Out… Get Rihanna’s Eyebrow Look!

Want brows like Rihanna? Well, now you can! Her personal makeup artist and global Fenty Beauty ambassador, Priscilla Ono; gave up all the beauty intel! Ono reveals,

“Fun fact, for Rihanna’s brows she actually likes to use two colors. She does a slightly darker color at the very end of her brow and then a lighter color on the beginning of the brow so it gives this ombre effect.

This was really a labor of love for Rihanna. She really wanted to make sure we were inclusive not only on skin, but also for brow.”

Got it? Now you may be wondering why you should use two different eyebrow pencil colors instead of one. We actually was wondering the same thing too. The verdict? Using 2 different shades helps add dimension the same way highlights work to break up hair color.

Pretty cool right? Nevertheless, Ono is a wealth of makeup knowledge besides knowing how to highlight your brows properly. She also knows how YOU will be able to get the most beautiful results from Brow MVP! In a demonstration Ono suggests:

• Warming up the product on the back of your  hand so the color delivers evenly immediately.

•Also, for a pro level look remember to brush the hairs upwards.

•Lastly, do not allow the look of the brow to intimidate you. Since this tool is unlike your typical spoolie on the ends of most brow products it will still help deliver the same gentle results!

Brow MVP literally comes with a real looking brush that looks like a hair brush that’s been shrunk down for our using pleasure.

BONUS: Check out more on what Ono had to say below!

THE MOST Important Feature of Fenty Beauty Brow MVP

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP

Besides, all of the cool design features that are apart of this launch; the most important part CANNOT be ignored… the colors! Yes, babes this product has some SERIOUS range. As our previous exclusive on this brow pencil by Rihanna mentioned; Brow MVP is dropping with an impressive 14 shades availability.

Why is this so outstanding? For one thing, eyebrows come in more tones than just the typical or usual Brow product colors; dark brown or black. Like Foundation, Rihanna is pushing the boundary forward when it comes to eyebrow pencil hues.

Now whether you have black hair, brown hair or are a blonde; or a redhead. Within Fenty Beauty’s range you can locate a shade that matches better to your natural eyebrow color. For a natural looking match, means a natural looking finish.

Okay… So… Now What?

After this cool release the question still remains, okay so what’s next? Rihanna has been successfully and systematically releasing cosmetics for every area of the face. Us fans are loving EVERYTHING and the proof is in the numbers.

As of now Fenty is kicking butt and taking makeup names by:

• The Fenty Effect: 500 million euros. That figure represents the sales generated by Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty range in its first full year in business, LVMH reported during February 2019.

• Forbes reported that following 15 months of operation, in 2018, Fenty Beauty accumulated US$570 million in revenue.

• Time Magazine named their Most Genius Companies of 2018, and recognized Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty.

• When the brand debuted in September 2017 it causally made $72 million in one month.

As one can see, it is clear that Rihanna gets and understands her makeup market. They cry out for Hydrating Foundation; and BOOM she gives it to them. Nevertheless, what is the latest demand?

Mascara. Rihanna is definitely giving the people what they want when it comes to foundation, lip color, eye shadow and now brow pencils. However, eyelashes are the new frontier for the Fenty Beauty brand. It’s uncharted waters if you will. However, it is a piece that NEEDS to be apart of the Fenty Beauty rolodex.

We Have a Dream… for Lashes Rihanna!

Okay. So in our perfect beauty realm this is what WE hope to see next. Mascara that gives lashes an intense volume, plus longer length look. A product that will be good for us fake eyelash challenged girls (uhm… hello over here lol).

Moreover, falsies still reign supreme, so Rihanna might as well as drop those too! It would be REALLY awesome if she releases mascara and false eyelashes at the same time. That way no matter which way someone swings that can buy the lash product that suits them the most.

Additionally, she could name her falsies after her songs or image. Like imagine stepping out for a night on the town in some lashes called: Savage, Diamonds (and they come with actual sparkle Ahhhh! lol); Pon de Replay, California King Bed, Badgal, What’s My Name?; Umbrellas, Work, S.O.S. ; Anti, Russian Roulette or Rehab. Can you say fire?

We are just spit balling here, but as you can easily see, eye lash products could be a cool wave for Fenty Beauty to ride. As we await to see if any of the above comes to fruition; we will just happily buy, use and celebrate what’s already here.

The Final Word

Fenty Beauty Brow MVP already looks and feels like a winner. By the way, Brow MVP actually has a WAY LONGER official name. It is called the  Fenty Beauty Brow MVP Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler. Whew! Try saying that five times fast.

Yet, before we go it would be highly rude if we left before discussing price. So let’s! According to luxury retailer Harvey Nichols, Brow MVP will come in at a price tag of £17. In dollars that will be $20. A price that is still quite affordable in terms of makeup.

Nevertheless, are you ready to get your hands on one? Be sure to act fast when it drops on August 23rd at fentybeauty.com, Sephora and Harvey Nichols.

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods
Beauty

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods-The Most Unique Neutral Lipcolor EVER!

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods

So are y’all ready to “fall” into some new lip colors!? Melt is bringing the heat from summer on into the autumn season with their newest MAJOR release. Prepare the coins for this one dolls… Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods — is a liquid lipstick inspired by the undertones found in makeup foundations; in order to give your lips a finish like they have never experienced before!

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods-The Most Unique Neutral Lipcolor EVER

If we’ve said it once, we’ll say it again; Undertones is the new black! While for decades liquid lipstick has been mainly about two things: matte or shine. Liquid lip color is now moving into a new era.

The company leading the charge? It’s the good people and innovators over at Melt. What is so awesome is that for this release, they truly stepped outside of the typical lipstick box.

No gimmicks. No let’s just slap sparkle in it formula. Just a real creative look into how to reimagine neutral tones.

Before, we get into the innovative part, let’s talk what you can expect. First of all, it is 5 new dope colors to add to your makeup lip arsenal. What are the shades? There are (BTW these descriptions are straight from Melt Cosmetics):

  • Golden– A warm beige with an olive-yellow undertone. We love how versatile Golden is! You can add her to the center of your lip over a darker color, like Chestnut to add dimension to the lips; and make them look fuller. Or wear her alone for a quick no fuss lip.
  • Fawn– Medium almond with a cool undertone. We love this unique toned lipstick. She’ll add a little edge to any look.
  • Ginger– Vibrant rusty red-brown with a warm neutral undertone. Adding a little spice… We’re preparing for fall early and our Undertone Nood in Ginger might just be our go-to autumn lip!
  • Chestnut– A rich sable brown with a golden undertone. Who doesn’t love a good chocolate brown liquid lip! Chestnut is the perfect brown for all skin tones!
  • Ebony– A robust deep espresso with a cool undertone. We’re really feeling dark liquid lips in this summer heat. Dark lips are the new bold lip.

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods

Send Noods… To Your Makeup Bags!

As one can see, these tones are PERFECT for the fall season. They harmonize gorgeously with what people normally expect to see during autumn. Think of the colors that come to mind as leaves are changing colors.

The browns, the coppers, auburn, burnt orange and warm charcoal. All the colors that make you want to pull out a sweater, cuddle up in a blanket and drink something; anything, with some pumpkin in it.

These new Melt Undertone Noods are sure to look AMAZING with all your fall OOTDs. Moreover, if you wish to stop playing and just go head and get all 5 new colors. You can.

Melt Cosmetics is offering a nifty little box set (you know, that coveted PR Box); of all 5 Undertone Noods. The cost? Currently, you can your hands on one for just $65. Not bad in terms of box makeup prices. Nonetheless, as promised we’ll now get into why this release is different from other ones currently on the market. Leggo!

Undertone Noods -Facts on Facts

In makeup neutrals are amazing; because it allows you to go straight up dramatic on other parts of your face, while not having an all out competition going on all over. For instance, if you are playing up your eyes; you can keep things nice and simple with a flesh tone lip. Aka… a nude or “neutral” lip.

The issue… is that the neutral, nude lip for YEARS only came in one hue; beige. This left out a TON of people who do not fall into that category. If you were darker you ran the risk of looking like a famous Dave Chappelle character; (we’re sure you can guess which one, if not, Google; trust it won’t be hard lol).

Nevertheless, like Foundation, neutral lip colors are also gradually taking a turn for the better. Foundations ranges that used to be smaller are finally growing larger. Thanks to cosmetics leaders such as Fenty Beauty, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Iman Cosmetics and Makeup Forever “inclusion” is at an all time high.

Which is why these new Melt liquid lipsticks are so exciting! They are literally taking their cue from the expansive  and inclusive foundation range revolution! How?

To start, we’ll allow the brand itself to give you some key facts and inspiration deets about their Undertone Noods lipstick. Melt Cosmetics reveals,

“They’re live! Come grab your Noods! Undertone Noods. Inspired by the distinct undertones of foundation; a range of Liquid Set Lipsticks in warm, neutral, cool and olive shades. These are not your typical neutrals; these are the Undertone Noods. We can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on [these]!”

Want a better peek at this lineup? Check out our quick beauty trailer below!

Undertone Noods Facts Continued

Got that? Undertones, they actually care about our undertones people! How important is it to give consideration to undertones in makeup? Uhm… try, it’s like everything! It is as simple as this: If you REALLY want to make your skin glow, smile sparkle and also your eyes pop; then you MUST use cosmetics that compliment not only your skin tone; but undertone as well.

Not really sure what undertone means? Well, undertone basically is the subdued color underneath your skin’s surface. It is an underlying color. Moreover, it doesn’t matter what your skin color is you also possess an undertone. And it is either cool, warm or neutral. It is normally broken down like this:

  • Cool -pink, red or bluish
  • Warm– yellow, peachy, golden undertones
  • Neutral- a mix of warm and cool undertones

Furthermore, the magic of all of this is a gorgeous look to your makeup. Since when your makeup look matches both your skin color and your undertone; there is no way you can’t achieve a beautiful result!

Therefore, a lip product that plays off all of this; is one that is trying to give you a fabulous lip look. Pretty cool right? We thought so too. Nevertheless, we digress, so then let’s get to price.

How Much for Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods?

As mentioned before you can get all 5 Melt Noods for just $65. But, they are also available a la carte. Each Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods currently retails for $19. Happy shopping everyone!

HEY YOU! Money a little tight? Relax, it happens! Nevertheless, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on this launch! Melt Cosmetics offers Sezzle! Sezzle makes it possible to pay in installments; instead of the full price right off the bat. For example, since their Noods is $19; YOU only pay 4 interest-free payments of $4.75! So girl go ahead and get your lipstick on, you know you want to!

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler
Beauty

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler -Brows Will Be Savage!

 

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler

Rihanna still has her peddle on the metal as she drives Fenty Beauty to newer heights! While everyone thought Rih was still partying it up in Barbados at this year’s Cropover festival; this business mogul had other plans! In a surprise appearance Miss Fenty hit the scene at a Sephora event in Las Vegas, Nevada; AND dropped a bomb announcement about new Fenty Beauty makeup products being on the way! Hold onto your brow hairs dolls because Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler is coming!

Proof This Brow Product Is Really Happening!

Some people snatch our edges; but Rihanna snatches our eyebrows clear OFF! Yes, the next generation of Fenty Beauty is moving into the brow shaping and defining products arena.

Okay guys, so here’s what we know. While no official imagery, visuals or announcements have been made; the smoking gun came from Rihanna herself. In Vegas, at the Sephora’s Store Leadership Conference; Badgalriri had this to say,

“I was not gonna come all the way to Vegas empty handed. So we’re gonna give you guys an exclusive sneak peek of one of the next products coming out—the very next product coming out.”

What was the sneak peek? Brow pencils! Attendees were treated to an exclusive video showing the new Fenty Beauty cosmetics item coming down the pipeline. In the video the Brow Pencils were named, “Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler.”

For the last several years brows have become BIG business, seeing a major influx of brow creation products hitting the market. Especially, for those who like the permanent brow makeup look (think very separated, defined, microblading finish). Nevertheless, Rihanna is continuing to follow her usual success formula when it comes to her amazing cosmetics; which is: Ensure everyone is covered. How will she accomplish this with her new brow items?

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler -Brows Will Be Savage

For one thing, there will be plenty of shade options. In terms of eyebrow pencils this is HUMONGOUS news. Usually, with many brands there are only 4-5 MAIN eyebrow tones that can be purchased. We’re sure you have noticed the shortage of colors too in your makeup search.

Right now most companies will offer a typical brown, light brown, darker brown and a black. That poses a problem because everyone’s skin tone and especially eyebrow hair color; is not going to be able to be squeezed to fit four or five colors. It’s just impossible.

Plus, that is not how you create a natural looking brow anyway. We asked all of our Pro makeup artist experts to weigh in; and they all said the same thing. For more natural looking eyebrows when using pencil you want to go up just ONE shade lighter than your natural brow hair color. Just so the ending result does not look “harsh.” This poses a problem IF there is not a suitable color available to do this beauty tip.

However, recently there have been exceptions. There are companies working hard to fill this makeup need. For instance, NYX brow pencils came in at least 8 shades and at a price point many can easily afford. Also, the king brand of brows, Benefit currently has a brow pencil lineup of 12 hues.

Furthermore, small color range shouldn’t really surprise anyone. Literally, it is the same problem that went on for decades when it came to Foundation. Not every color, or selection fit everyone. Your choices were go ashy, bare face/natural or mix different ones up in your bathroom like a mad scientist. Bleak.

Brow Game Changer -Product Details!

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler

 

That is until Rihanna came and changed the game. Now other brands are rushing to create more “inclusive” tones in order to bring in the sales. Nevertheless, now Rihanna is set to cause the same revolution in the brow realm.

Her Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Pencil and Styler will come in over ten shades. To be exact in a promo teaser from Rihanna’s surprise Las Vegas visit; it reveals a total of 14 shades! A range quite unheard of in the industry.

Forget the days of having to settle for jet black eyebrows. Blondes, redheads, brunettes, raven black tone hair persons and everyone in-between will be able to enjoy Brow colors more suited to them.

Plus, the design of her pencils are literally exactly what you want when creating the perfect brow. For example, if you were using a makeup brush to create your eyebrow look; you would want to use an angled brush. That is because it will give you more control when creating nice clean strokes.

However, Fenty Beauty’s design is like the angled brush and brow color in one! A close view showcases Rihanna’s pencil with an angled tip. The pencil also looks to be “self-sharpening” so you can expect a great finish every time.

Plus, that means less work for you. Since who us really enjoys always having to keep a pencil sharpener around? Self-sharpening is the way to go and any company willing to make our beauty lives easier; we’re totally down with them and completely FINE handing over our coins.

Additionally, this Fenty Beauty Eyebrow Pencil will not be some big ol’ uncontrollable crayon. The sleek, thinner design will give you extra control whether you are holding it with your entire hand; or between a few fingers.

As one can see, Robyn continues to be innovative in how see expands her beauty empire. Design, efficiency, ease of use and of course; inclusiveness continues to be the main focus of her products.

Brow Tips

Since Rihanna’s Brow Pencil is coming we thought we would share a few tips in order to help your brow game be even more on point! Have you ever wondered how to choose the RIGHT eyebrow pencil color? Well, you’re going to learn today! These tips are from actual industry MUAs. Enjoy!

1966 Questions: Help us! How do you choose the right eyebrow pencil color?

“1966 good question, only with brow gels would you use the same color as your eyebrows. With brow pencils, it’s a little different. You want to go one shade lighter because you want the look to be softer.

Ever seen those innocent souls with very severe looking brows? Like my heart goes out to them! Everyone notices but not in a good way. Avoid that.

When you’re drawing the illusion of hair, it will always look unnatural if the pencil is darker or as dark as your hair. The lighter color gives it the dimension it needs.”

1966 Questions: Why do you use a particular color?

“I personally like to use a pencil shade 1-2 shades lighter than  my client’s actual natural hair color. It helps the eyebrow I create look more defined.”

1966 Questions: Can a person just use the hair on their head as a guide?

“I always say that the best brows are very close to your natural hair color. Not exact, but close.

Like look at redheads, are their eyebrows red? Their brows always look amazing with auburn or a hint of light brown. Or some with dark black hair actually have deep brown brows. So don’t get hung up on your hair color. You won’t get a natural look that way.”

YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection-Kravitz is Entering the Beauty Industry!

YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection

There is soooo much new beauty on the way it is making our makeup bags zipper refuse to close! With Rihanna releasing a new hydrating foundation, Milk Makeup giving us a flexing foundation stick; AND Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation hitting the scene; makeup lovers are definitely living their best life! But hold up, wait a minute, Isabella is about to step up in it! Yes, loves Zoe Kravitz is about to drop the spanking new YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection in just a few weeks.

How our girl held this secret this entire time, we do not know. However, the secret is officially out the garden and we are only too glad to help spread it. In a VERY short (and we do mean short) video; Zoe teased fans with the collection.

The video did not reveal any products (for maybe the exception of one; read on to find out). So exact products to be expected is still unfortunately mainly up in the air. HOWEVER, the visuals did show Kravitz in a lab “cooking up” some newness.

Therefore, while there is no real product item reveals; there is a firm confirmation that the collection is not a figment of beauty imagination. It is happening and coins need to be spared and ready.

YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection-Kravitz is Entering the Beauty Industry

This match up between the luxury brand and Zoe Kravitz comes as no surprise. For quite some time the Big Little Lies actress and singer has been the face of the label. Appearing in numerous ad campaigns as well as on and in magazines wearing various YSL designs. Even for the Met Gala’s yearly soirée; arguably fashion’s biggest night; Kravitz has donned a Saint Laurent design.

Therefore, this is a pairing that certainly works well together. Moreover, it is exciting to see what exactly is on the way from this collaborative effort. For one thing we are definitely thinking red.

Why? Going back to the promo video; Zoe is busily mixing up pots of red color formulations. ALSO, check out and zero in on her lips. BOOM! Decadent, red, in-your-face, better have my money lip color! Lol.

Or if you just look to the bottom right of the video. Yes, do it! lol. You will see a couple of rouge tone lipsticks just hanging out.

As of now, that is the only real indicator of possible makeup products. However, it is still enough to easily place us in a makeup frenzy. Therefore, fellow makeup addicts; be on the lookout for the YSL and Zoe Kravitz collection drop on September 1st.
