She’s been deemed the new face of beauty and it is not hard to see why! Gorgeous actress Lupita Nyong’o stars in Lancome’s 2015 spring/summer ad campaign which was styled by Julia Von Boehm. Lupita is joined in the ad campaign by fellow actresses Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz. Photography for the shoot was lensed by Mert and Marcus.
In an instagram world where brows must be the epitome of perfection, Prada chose to go a little different route. Prada’s beauty look for spring/summer 2015 incorporated the disheveled brow. This unkempt look had emphasis more on just the outline of the brow instead of the full on cha-bang. The disheveled brow is like the beauty nod to the messy, bed-head look proving that you don’t always have to be absolutely perfect to be considered beautiful.

Paris-based designer Giambattista Valli will be releasing a fresh lip color collection in collaboration with makeup powerhouse M.A.C. Cosmetics. In regards to the much anticipated release, Valli says,
Well, we are totally stoked about this collection and can’t wait to try out the various tints and shades. Colors in the M.A.C. Giambattista collection range from very light pinks to deep purples and plums. Therefore, what type of lady would this collection work for the most?
Giambattista Valli dished,
“The best thing about makeup is that a lipstick can really change your look. If you never wear color on your lips and then one day you wear red, everyone just goes ‘wow! I made these for a woman with personality, a woman who lives her life and isn’t afraid to wear color and isn’t afraid to kiss!”
