Spring-Summer Make Up Collection: Max Factor

Intense and wet is Monsoon Uprising, the new bet of Max Factor. Electrifying colours for eyes and sensual colours for lips, that won't let you unnoticed. Carmen Kaas is the image, Path McGrath is the artist, and you are the star. Official make up of Milan's Fashion Week and a must for succeeding in this season. Choose the role you play: Femme Fatale, Torrid Temptress, and Voluptuous Venus.



In the look Femme Fatale, eyes are remarked with the shadows Colour Perfection 425 Dawning Gold and next to the eyelids with Colour Perfection 470 Star-Studded Black. Earth Spirits 131 Ultra Aqua underline upper lids. To finish the look, it is added the limited edition of Silk Gloss 408 Be Adventurous.




Torrid Tempress or a siren. Eyes show in turquoise and lips, in pink. Turquoise of Earth Spirits 131 Ultra Aqua is spread all over the eyelids and then, a touch of Silk Gloss in pink.



Voluptuous Venus it's the most daring look, as it uses one gloss colour for the upper lip (Silk Gloss 404 Be Voluptuous) and another one for the lower (Silk Gloss 408 Be Adven- turous). Eyes are kept with bare colours, as of the shadow Earth Spirits 116 Wicked White, and lots of mascara (Masterpiece MAX in black).

Sex, Valentino& Rock'N'Roll

The designer of the jet set, Valentino, launches a new version of his perfume Rock'N'Rose, Rock'N'Rose Couture, to celebrate his 45 Th Anniversary in fashion universe. The must in the disco nights of Studio 54 in New York, closes the decade grabbing an electric guitar. Welcome to the jungle, honey.



Valentino is synonym to elegance. Related to Bianca Jagger in the 70's and to Kelly Le Brook (Woman In Red) and Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran) stylesque in the 80's, in the 90's he turned more aggresive, with Gisele Bundchen.
In perfumes, he maintains his style. Romance, a classic from the 90's starred by model Tanga, is the predecessor of Rock'N'Rose, with a light but charming essence that fits as well as in the morning as in the night. If in the previous one the message was a couple in love, in this we find a teenage beauty who reminds Mena Suvari in American Beauty, ready to seduce no matter what. Music has always influenced fashion and viceversa, here the designer exchanges the gun for rock, a detail the rehabited Axl would be proud of.
Marylin Monroe wore only Chanel N.5 as dressgown; lolita would wear Rock'N'Rose.

Falling for Kate

Not only a top model for 17 years and a style icon, now a bottled essence. The British follows the trail of Jennifer López, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton, and Sarah Jessica Parker and launches her perfume, Kate Moss, created with the accompliceness of Coty.

In the words of Moss, this perfume represents her in full,as it is slight and easy to combine, no matter your look. Absolutely wearable, it moves in the range of Rock'N'Roses by Valentino or Anais Anais by Cacharel and it's destinated to become a modern classic.
Simply but attractively designed and with an affordable price, it will be another hit in her career. Rumour has it Rimmel London was going to dismiss her; at least, with this perfume, her essence will remain with us. On the other hand, she has collaborated with Topshop, designing a clothes collection inspired in his style.
