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.

For YSL‘s fall 2012 makeup collection, the brand has released Palette Couture (above) as the star limited-edition item. The three-toned palette is mainly used as a blusher but it can also contour and highlight the complexion. The rest of the collection features green as one of the key shades.
Here is a quick look at some of the highlights of the collection:

– I was told by a Muji sales assistant that Muji UK is no longer carrying facial skincare items for the time being. This means I will not be able to continue purchasing my Muji cleansing oil (Mild Oil Cleansing) in the UK. (Muji’s EU on-line store still has a few other skincare items.) I am surprised and not surprised. Muji Japan recently expanded its skincare range (and re-packaged some existing products, including Mild Oil Cleansing (the print on the bottle is now in green, not red)) and I thought Muji UK might start carrying more skincare products. However, Muji is never known for skincare in the UK so it is not too surprising that it is now focusing on other product lines.

After purples for spring 2011 and blues for fall 2011 (as well as warm-toned and cool-toned neutrals, which have been taking turns to be on-trend in the last few seasons), we have green in its various hues for spring 2012.
Givenchy‘s spring 2012 Instant Bucolique makeup collection features a strong visual (above) and makes a statement with a fresh and spring-like minty green in Le Prisme Eyes Quartet in 79 Bucolic Blossoms. A very similar shade is seen in Venis Please in 178 Bucolic Lily.

For fall 2011, YSL launched Blush Radiance as part of the brand’s fall 2011 Midnight Garden makeup collection. (It is replacing Blush Variation in certain countries.) It is available in 5 variations, and each includes two shades deigned to be blended together. Today I am featuring 3 & 4.
