L’Oréal Paris Project Runway Collection.

/

The L’Oréal Paris Project Runway Collection is here. I have not seen it in any of my local stores yet, but I am told that shelves are being stocked as we speak. It should be available the beginning of October wherever L’Oréal Paris is sold. Let me just say this - I love it. You will love it. I CANNOT wait to see it in person, because the product images had me instantly.

The entire collection is called “Colors Take Flight”. It is a very limited-edition collection that contains four palettes (or mini collections, if you will) which are inspired by the captivating colors of exotic birds. Thinking back on the S/S 2012 Project Runway Fashion Show, all I can say that it fits the overall tone.

If you watch the show, you may have noticed L’Oréal Paris Consulting Makeup Artist and Project Runway featured artist Collier Strong. He helped to develop this collection. I am in awe of his creativity with the new and stunning shade ranges, rich textures and the tools that create the distinctly different makeup looks.

Inspired by the Cockatoo, the Owl, the Raven and the Amazon Parrot, these four cosmetics sets bring runway-inspired beauty to new heights.
