Maquillage Fall 2010 Preview

If you have used the underground walkway between Wisma Atria and Ngee Ann City over the past few days, chances are you would have noticed the Maquillage Fall 2010 collection ad visuals featuring ICONIQ.

The collection is having an exclusive launch at Takashimaya this weekend. With purchase of S$100, you get to enjoy a makeover, hairstyling and photoshoot. If you spend S$148, you will also receive a White Lucent deluxe skincare sample set and a pouch.


Earlier, I got a sneak preview of the collection at Shiseido's office and played around with the new Rouge Enamel Glamour and Dual Glow Eyes.

The Rouge Enamel Glamour (S$43) look similar to Maquillage's multi-faceted nail polish bottles. The fatter end holds an ultra-long lasting lip colour while the other holds a high shine lip gloss.


The lip colour comes with a spoon shaped sponge applicator while the lip gloss comes with a plastic applicator.


After applying the lip colour, it is recommended that you wait one minute (without pressing the lips together) to allow the colour to set, before applying the gloss on top. This will help the lip color to last longer even after the gloss has worn off.

The lipglosses are all on the sheer side with just the barest tint of colour.

The two pics below were taken after about 10 minutes. The lip colours look slightly more matte after they have set.

The Dual Glow Eyes (S$40) are available in five variations, of which four are shown below. These are cream eyeshadows that dry to a smooth powder finish with a lovely shimmer. They actually contain mineral water sourced from the Mount Fuji area as well as hyaluronic acid for moisturising benefits to help prevent fine lines.

The black cover slides open to reveal a sponge applicator inside. I've found that applying with fingers is actually much easier and gives a more even application than using the sponge applicator.

To be honest, I wasn't too excited about these at first sight but I was pleasantly surprised by how pretty they looked when swatched!

Here's a simple look that I did with GR273 with the light shade from the crease to the browbone area and the darker shade from the upper lashline to the crease. Both shades were easy to apply and blended seamlessly. The eyehadows lasted well over several hours of wear without fading or creasing (I used Urban Decay Primer Potion underneath). The Dual Glow Eyes will be very convenient for travel as you don't need brushes to apply these.
