BOHO STONES - YSL SPRING 2016 MAKEUP

Inspired by the Glastonbury Festival and 90's grunge, the SAINT LAURENT Spring/Summer 2016 fashion collection brought a new glitter and glamour to grunge. Predominant in the collection were the beautifully cut satin slip dresses - the show opener was a long, silver slip dress.  Rubber boots (Kate Moss at Glastonbury style) and sparkling little tiaras were worn with the clothes.

Echoing this mood, BOHO STONES, the YVES SAINT LAURENT Spring 2016 makeup look, was created for "the modern, free-spirited woman".  My favourite piece from this collection is the COUTURE PALETTE COLLECTOR eyeshadow palette in INDIE JASPE.  The attractive green opaline compact, trimmed with gold, (in the photograph below), contains five beautiful eyeshadows.

The five colours are silver, pale green, sage green and two peach shades, all with a subtle shimmer and glint.

The collection includes two new shades of LA LAQUE COUTURE nail polish, both with a lovely pearly finish:

LOVE PINK 69 (opalescent pink)

and two new coral shades for lips in ROUGE PUR COUTURE GLOSSY STAIN:

More news on SAINT LAURENT:  On February 10th, Hedi Slimane presented his AW2016 Men's Collection at The Palladium, Los Angeles.  The mood of the collection, which also included Part 1 of the Women's Collection, was rock music icons.  There was a new silhouette for women - longer, midi length skirts with belted waists, worn with long boots. I'm looking forward to seeing Part 2 of the Women's Collection on March 7th in Paris. 

NEWS UPDATE:  March 7th Paris - Hedi Slimane presented Part 2 of his FW16/17 Collection.  In contrast to Part 1, this was an 80's inspired brash but beautiful glamour with wide shoulders, short thigh length dresses, dark sheer tights and brightly coloured high heeled pointed toe shoes.
