Marc Jacobs Delivers Glam for Louis Vuitton in Paris

Marc Jacobs achieved his goal of bringing the camp glamour of the 20's to the Paris runway for Louis Vuitton's 2011 Spring Pret-A-Porter Collection. Jacobs has truly modernized the brand at every level. His collection used a color palette full of depth, variety, fun and drama, successfully incorporating a touch of Shanghai. Hair and make-up, especially the deep reds and burgandy for the lips compliments the look. It's also notable that Jacobs used models of color. In this day and age, it should be a given to see diversity represented, but sadly it's still not the case.

As a longtime collector of fans, the ones shown in this collection need to be with me - now!

Beauty. NARS Pure Matte Lips

NARS Pure Matte lip colors are available in a range of colors from soft pinks to dramatic reds. The divine burgandy Volga was a part of looks coming down the runway for Marc Jacobs at New York's recent Fashion Week. The formula for NARS Pure Matte includes Mango Butter to keep the lips hydrated while providing the non glossy look.
Red's are tricky the older you get, don't be afraid to try new shades. If you wore bright reds in you 20's it may not work for you now just as finding the right 'nude' mouth can also take a bit of effort. Experiment!
NARS is a bit pricey, but I love his products.
