3rd: Addiction

I have been interested in Addiction since its launch in fall 2009, but, product-wise, the new Cheek Stick from the brand’s summer 2011 makeup collection has caught my eye the most. Designed mainly as blushers, the eight available shades can also be used as eyeshadows and lipsticks. (Some of them can also be used for highlighting and contouring.)

6th: Sonia Rykiel

I like the eye-catching Multico Eyeshadow palettes from Sonia Rykiel’s summer 2011 makeup collection. They are not the tone-on-tone eyeshadow palettes that we see a lot of from Japanese lines, but the colors are very well-coordinated. They are colorful but relatively wearable. My favorite one is, of course, the one with purple, pink, and golden beige.

10th: Dior

Unlike Dior’s spring 2011 makeup collection, in which many of the items are too grey-toned for me, Dior’s summer 2011 Electric Tropics makeup collection is a lot more wearable for me. 5-Colour Eyeshadow in 534 Rosy Nude, the lighter of the two new palettes, is particularly appealing to me.

Aurorize Eyes in Light Variation from fall 2010.)

.

The editor of Japanese magazine FRaU has tweeted about Lunasol‘s fall 2011 makeup collection here, here, and here. Also, see more images here.

According to these two sources, the theme of the collection is Light & Shade Purification. The new eyeshadow palette series, available in five variations, is called Three-Dimensional Eyes. Two of the four quarters in each variation feature three different hues/finishes, so each variation technically has eight shades.

The collection also includes a concealer palette and false eyelashes, among other items.

The collection will be released in Japan on August 19th.

I will update this post with more information later on.
