Even though some of the colors in Elégance’s fall 2010 makeup collection don’t appeal to me, I like how the theme of the collection, Operatic Queen, is reflected by the way the colors are arranged in the Phantom Eyes palettes. The packaging of the items is opulent and classy as always.

On November 16th, Kosé Cosme Decorte will launch Cosme Decorte AQ MW, a new sister line to the existing AQ (Absolute Quality) line (the highest-end line of Cosme Decorte). The launch is to celebrate Cosme Decorte’s 40th anniversary.
Even though, according to Cosme Decorte, MW officially stands for Miracle Wonder, the acronym is presumably based on the initials of Dutch industrial designer Marcel Wanders, who collaborated with Cosme Decorte to design the packaging of the products. The beautifully elaborate packaging is reminiscent of Wanders’ crochet designs. (See more of his crochet designs here.)

The line focuses on the skincare and aromatherapy properties of sandalwood extract. (But do note that sandalwood extract may be a skin irritant for some people.)
The launch lineup includes:
– Cleansing Milk
– Facial Bar
– Repair Emulsion
– Repair Lotion
– Repair Serum
– Essential Balm
– Cream Excellent
– Massage Cream
– Facial Mask Duo
The prices range from 4725 JPY (Facial Bar (refill)) to 31500 JPY (Cream Excellent).

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:
