Yves Saint Laurent Printemps/Spring 2017 Collection

“Heads turn. She pretends she doesn’t see.
Walks on; walks free.
Oblivious to all except the living art around her
Grey, black, white, the shades of the street.
A pop of pink, a flash of orange, her colours.
Graffiti art; art in her heart
LA, Paris, New York, London, Shanghai
All are downtown playgrounds for her delight
The street is her muse.”

BABY DOLL KISS & BLUSH DUO STICK

Inspired by the Baby Doll Kiss & Blush Lip and Cheek, a new member of the family takes center stage. A gold cap, embellished with the distinctive Cassandre lifts off an intense fuchsia case, revealing a colourful duo of lip and blush heaven.

Two colours, playful and enigmatic, to be used singly or blurred together, in a compact balm that glides easily over lips, or cheeks or both. A smooth matte finish to bring lips and cheeks to life. Irresistible, fresh, it’s twice as much fun with endless makeup finish possibilities. This way, that way, or vice versa!

BD KISS & BLUSH DUO STICK N°1

BD KISS & BLUSH DUO STICK N°3

The shades:

N°3 from Cute to Devilish – a gentle coral, a warm, rich orange.

N°4 from Me to You – a pretty pale rose teams up with a blush pink.

N°5 from Darling to Hottie – burst into neon pink or drift into raspberry red.

N°6 from Prude to Nude– a rosy nude melts into a mocha nude.

N°7 from Mild to Spicy – a cherry red segues into a plum-brown.

The application:

Quick and easy, BABY DOLL KISS & BLUSH DUO STICK can be applied in almost limitless ways, whether you’re after a playful pop of colour, or intense drama and a statement look. Use one colour on the cheeks, and the other shade on the lips, to bring contrast yet keep your look within one colour family. Or on the cheeks, use both shades, with the lighter shade placed above the apple of the cheeks and the darker one on the apple itself, then blend with a brush or with fingers to achieve a subtle gradation and blush effect. On the lips, swipe one colour and blend out for a pretty stain of colour, or be daring, and create a duo-toned lip.

FACE PALETTE COLLECTOR – I HAVE A BLUSH ON YOU

A message from the street, with an embossed catchy message, shouts in stand-out white and black: I HAVE A BLUSH ON YOU. The classic gold compact, a glint from the sidewalks, pertaining to something precious inside. Inside, a reflection of pure joy: a colourful crush of orange, the perfect blush for a young, fun complexion. Above all, the formula is embossed with the edgiest “brick wall” effect. Sweep it on in bold strokes, layer up the intensity; be subtle or sensual, the choice is yours.

THE EYES HAVE “IT”

COUTURE PALETTE COLLECTOR – KEEP AN EYE ON ME

Encapsulating the shades of the street – from graffiti grey to pop-art pinks and oranges – the outer casing of the COUTURE PALETTE COLLECTOR at once excites and engages. Inside, audacious and different, a combination of colours designed to intrigue the urban artist. A shimmering pale pink to bring light under the brow; a hard city grey for lining or creating a smoky eye; a flash of orange, a duo of pinks to brighten up the evening cityscape. It’s all there; on the street.

THE NEW YSL BEAUTY MAKEUP AMBASSADRESS

INTRODUCING: STAZ LINDES

Show-stopper, heart-stealer, social media sensation, and a mean guitar and bass player, Staz Lindes is the 24 year old model and rock guitarist from Los Angeles chosen to represent YSL Beauty Makeup.

Music is in her blood: she performs in a Riot Girl band, The Paranoyds, and her father is Dire Straits guitarist Hal Lindes. Style is in her London-born, West Coast upbringing: her own sartorial take on femininity is grounded in the music she loved listening to as a teenager – outwardly expressed in leather jackets, choker necklaces, and vintage military wear. Possessing the kind of beauty that is a perfect fit for YSL Beauty – full lips, doe-eyes and a glowing complexion – she was first spotted in a bowling alley and now has legions of followers, all emulating her aesthetic.

A free spirit, Staz is photographed by Craig McDean for YSL Beauty in an urban setting, against a background of a graffiti-covered wall, and wearing the colours of the new Spring 2017 collection. Pouting provocatively into the camera, she’s every bit the free spirit, the archetypal YSL Beauty girl. Staz Lindes, welcome to the YSL family.
