Yves Saint Laurent Beauty has given spring 2017 makeup an urban vibe with street-inspired graffiti themes and bold colors. Pops of bright pink and orange contrast with asphalt grays in YSL's resolutely streetwear-inspired collection, due out from the end of January 2017 from Yves Saint Laurent Beauty stockists and at www.yslbeauty.com.
After dicing with a provocative side this fall with the "Scandal" collection, Yves Saint Laurent's makeup has embraced a very different world for spring 2017, with a collection inspired by the concrete jungle. From Los Angeles to Paris, New York to Shanghai, the Yves Saint Laurent woman evolves with total confidence this season, carried by the colors of the city, urban codes and graffiti. The result is an explosion of urban shades in a collection dubbed "The Street and I."
Audacity and endless possibilities
The collection brings bold brights to eyes, cheeks and lips, mainly with pink and zesty orange shades. The beauty brand has six color pairs to choose from with "Baby Doll Kiss & Blush Duo Stick," a compact matte-finish color balm for lips and cheeks. It can be used to mix colors or to build a single shade, varying the intensity of color. Pairings include the coral/fuchsia "From Marrakech to Paris," the pale pink/flesh pink "From Me to You" and a cherry red/plum brown "From Mild to Spicy."
With bold brights, city lights and smoky shades, eyes get a selection of urban hues to experiment thanks to "Couture Palette Collector - Keep An Eye On Me." This compact features five eyeshadow shades inspired by the street, with a pale pink, an asphalt gray, an orange, and a pair of pinks. This can be matched with the iconic "Dessin du Regard Arty Duo," a two-tint eye pencil with applicator, or "Dessin du Regard Blanc Arty" for a graphic and luminous flash of white.
Lips also get arty, shiny and graphic shades with four new versions of "Rouge Volupté Shine" -- a pinkish red, a vibrant orange, a pop-art pink and a coral tone -- and two new colors of "Gloss Volupté" -- an intense fuchsia and a candy bright orange.
YSL's "The Street and I" collection brings two new limited-edition "La Laque Couture" nail varnishes (a bold orange and an asphalt gray), a "La Laque Couture" nail color in white, and the "Face Palette Collector - I Have a Blush On You" compact, featuring a bright orange blush for a burst of color.
Staz Lindes fronts the collection
YSL has signed up a new face to launch this spring makeup line. Staz Lindes stars in a campaign set against an urban backdrop shot by Craig McDean. The shots notably see the model posing in front of a graffiti-covered wall.
