Here is a quick look at Dior‘s spring 2011 makeup collection. The limited-edition star item of the collection is Dior Cannage Palette, which is available in two variations. (You can see the packaging of the palette here.)
Grey is the main color scheme of the collection. Though chic and sophisticated, greys are usually too cool-toned for my complexion. Also, I am not really impressed by the packaging of the Dior Cannage Palette. It seems to be very similar to the holiday makeup palettes that have been released in the last few years. Overall this is certainly not one of my personal favorite seasonal makeup collections from Dior, although I would be interested in seeing the grey-toned Dior Addict Ultra Gloss (image below) in person.
Have a look at the rest of the collection:

I always look forward to Dior’s seasonal limited-edition star items, especially the ones for the holiday seasons. Dior’s Minaudière palette from the brand’s holiday 2010 makeup collection didn’t disappoint me after I saw it in person. (I also like its very long full name: Dior Minaudière Makeup Must-Haves for Radiant Eyes and Lips Eyeshadow and Lip Gloss Palette. This must be some sort of a record…)
The palette has a nice size and thickness and feels quite weighty and substantial, and I like the chic vintage design. I also like the fact that the fingerprints left on the black textured surface of the case are not that visible. (I can’t really play with some of the past limited-edition items as much as I want to because of their glossy reflective surfaces…)
The palette closes magnetically and not with the clasps.

I got my Dior Minaudière palette (in 002 Pink Gold) from Dior’s holiday 2010 makeup collection. Unlike some of the past holiday limited-edition items from Dior with just lip colors, which I feel are too precious to use, I will be trying the eyeshadows in this palette and I will share my thoughts later on.
(By the way, I was looking forward to seeing the 5 Colour Iridescent Eyeshadow palette in Endless Shine and I thought there was a good chance that I might get it too. It did look good, but the beige gold was a little too golden for me and the golden peach didn’t look as dimensional as some of the similar shades I have.)

Color-wise, the fall 2010 makeup trends seem to be a natural progression from the last few seasons. Beiges and browns dominated spring 2010, and they are still a key trend in fall 2010, (Gone are the grays, which were prominent in fall 2009, as a major color trend.) Meanwhile, purples shone last fall and they have taken on a few varied hues this season.
Beiges & Browns
RMK puts browns firmly on center stage with the Autumn Brown collection. The limited-edition Brown Eyes palettes feature various brown tones. (The palettes are called Deep Brown, Dark Brown, Red Brown, Yellow Brown and Beige Brown.) Guerlain‘s new Écrin 6 Couleurs palettes are also based on a variety of neutral tones, while SUQQU‘s revamped makeup line lays the groundwork with six Blend Color Eyeshadow palettes, all with neutral hues.

Pinks, Mauves, Purples & Plums
Biteki (September 2010) calls them the berry tones, and those who are not enticed by the skin-tonal colors and who are interested in more vibrant shades might want to look into these mouth-watering colors.
Dior‘s 5 Color Design palette in Pink Design includes a dusty pink and a sophisticated muted purple. Estée Lauder‘s Pure Color 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Surreal Violet offers some delicious berry shades. Addiction‘s fall 2010 makeup collection includes berry-toned items for eyes as well as lips. (Refer to the link for the new items for lips.)

Mix & Match
What is interesting is that many brands feature both color trends in their fall 2010 makeup collections (either in one single item or in various items in the collection). Here are some of the highlights:

The rest of the collection includes:
– 5 Colors Designer (1 new variation, 808 Pink Design)
– 5 Colors eyeshadow palette (1 new variation, 844 Misty Mauve, limited edition)
– Mascara Diorshow 360
– Diorshow Maximizer (mascara base)
– Sérum de Rouge (4 new shades, including 1 limited edition)
– Dior Addict High Color (2 new shades, including 1 limited edition)
– Dior Addict Ultra Gloss (1 new shade, limited edition)
The new Diorshow 360 mascara is Dior’s version of the battery-powered mascara. It features the “helix blush”, and I am presuming that the brush swivels rather than vibrates.
