We may all have just retrieved our winter coats from the wardrobe but here in beautyworld there are green shoots already: we're previewing spring/summer 2011 colours! Yesterday Beauty Bible nipped along to Maybelline (one of 2010's 'Coolbrand' winners), where supertalented Sharon Dowsett was demo-ing their very new pretty shades. (We're especially loving ultra-wearable Pink Brown, a sensational neutral introduction in the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick collection, and the Eyestudio Mono in Silken Taupe. Also note The Eraser - a roll-on sponge foundation - because you're going to see more sponge-applicator foundations appearing in the coming months.)
We thought we'd ask Sharon which of Maybelline's products was her all-time fave rave, and got the answer: 'Great Lash! I used to bring it back from the States before it was available in the UK; it never crumbles or smudges and leaves lashes looking beautifully conditioned as well as volumised.' When it comes to shade choice, Sharon says: 'Brown is the flat shoes of mascara, black is the high heels. Blondes in particular tend to think they should wear brown, but black looks better every time.' (Though Sharon's not averse to a touch of navy or even plum, on occasion.) Although she's created covers for just about every magazine you can name and has a long-standing relationship with Chanel make-up, too (where she's taught at their Academy), Sharon doesn't have a website (she's working on it). For a swoon - and inspiration - you can check out her portfolio at agency CLM, here.
But first, do ditch that brown mascara. NOW...!
