Holiday Drama By Tom Ford

We're all accustomed to some drama around the holidays... This year we can be ready for it in the most beautiful, dramatic lip colors ever. Tom Ford's Holiday 2012 Collection is all about "hedonistic glamour" and we're loving every decadent piece. The shade names are the icing on the cake - just to name a few of our favorites - Narcotic, Diabolique, Slander, Reckless. The Lip Collection was created to compliment Ford's Jasmine Rouge Private Blend Fragrance - sounds like the perfect gift to us!

The Lux Lip

This limited edition lip collection by Giorgio Armani will give you super saturated, velvety color with a no-makeup feel. The collection, Lip Maestros is the first matte lipstick offered by the brand. We love how the red caps look in contrast to the intensely pigmented shade inside the bottle.
“With Lip Maestro, we wanted to create pure, vibrant colors that fit with every complexion. Outstanding, luxurious colors enhanced in a luminous matte formula.”
-Linda Cantello, Makeup Artist for Giorgio Armani Cosmetics

New - Topshop Dark Side of Nude

The Topshop F/W 2012 Capsule Collection may be called Dark Side of Nude, but it's on the bright side of goth. It's all about high pigment shades and shimmer. The powder shadows have a metallic sheen and can be used wet to intensify the color. The tone on tone diamond pattern on the pack brings a serious edge to the collection, while the unfinished lines are consistent with Topshop's norm.

Get your inspiration for a dramatic look from the "Gothic Heroines" on Topshop's site where online tutorials give step by step instructions on how to get the look of some of the ultimate gothic and horror heroines.
