It seems that whitening ranges continue to be big businesses in Asia, and the springtime is when most of the whitening ranges from both Asian and western beauty brands (which develop whitening ranges exclusively for the Asian market) bring out new products. From daily skincare items to treatment products and from ultra-high SPF sunscreens to full base-makeup routines (from primer to loose powder), whitening ranges have been getting more and more extensive.

Here is a quick look at Dior‘s spring 2013 Chérie Bow makeup collection, which has been released in the UK. The collection features a wide range of fresh and feminine pink hues, from rose and fuchsia pinks to coral and peach pinks. The limited-edition star item of the collection is the Chérie Bow Palette, which is available in two variations (001 Pink Poudre (below) and 002 Pink Perle (above)). I prefer the look of 002 Pink Perle.

Dior’s fall 2012 makeup collection features a variety of neutral and green tones. With most of Dior’s seasonal collections, the limited-edition star items were the ones that grabbed my attention first. However, with this collection, I prefer the 5 Couleurs palette in 774 Golden Savannah (above), the 5 Couleurs Designer palette in 308 Khaki Design (below), and the 3 Couleurs Glow palette in 651 Nude Glow (below) to the Golden Jungle palettes.

Purple and green have emerged as the dominant colors for fall 2012. Continuing from the spring 2012 makeup trend, green is still a key player. On the other hand, I am glad that purple is back on trend.

Here is a look at Dior‘s fall 2012 makeup collection. The limited-edition star item of the season is Golden Jungle, which features three eyeshadows and one lip gloss. It is available in two variations: 001 Golden Khaki (golden beige, olive green, and khaki eyeshadows and fresh pink lip gloss) and 002 Golden Brown (golden beige, caramel, and dark brown eyeshadows and copper pink lip gloss). At the moment it is not looking very exciting to me.
The rest of the collection includes:

Looking at all the pinks and peaches in Lunasol’s spring 2012 makeup collection, I feel as if I were looking at colors from Jill Stuart packaged in Lunasol cases. It is a very spring-like, coherent, and wearable collection, but I think it is a little too safe and that it lacks the flair and imagination that many of Lunasol’s past collections had. This is mainly why Lunasol is not among my top three collections this season.
