The Shanghai Collection by Gucci Westman For Revlon Fall 2012 Reviews, Photos and Swatches


Some items from The Shanghai Collection by Gucci Westman For Revlon Fall 2012

Here we go again with another fall collection. :)  The Shanghai Collection by Gucci Westman for Revlon Fall 2012 is “inspired by the romantic films of China, where women adorn ultra-feminine wardrobes of vibrant cheongsam dresses with saturated colours.”

Revlon Cream Eye Shadow Palette in Midnight Express ($12.95) is a limited edition palette. It contains golden green, silver, black, bronzed gold, pearly white and sparkly purple cream eyeshadows. These sheer eyeshadows never set to a powder finish, which are problematic for people (like me!) who have oily eyelids. I suggest using a primer underneath, then layer on the cream eyeshadows, and then layer a matching powder eyeshadow on top. Those who like the “lived in” eyeshadow look or have never had problems with their eyeshadow creasing can wear these alone. For me this is too much work, so I’ll have to skip this one.

The Looks of Fall 2012

Fall is a season for all makeup lovers.  Whether it’s an emphasis on the eyes or the lips (or sometimes, both), there’s a little something for everyone.  I have been anti-crackle polish since day 1, but my oh my — does the Dior khaki shatter polish look good or what?  From the classic smokey eye and berry lips from Chanel and Laura Mercier, to the look of a typical YSL girl (lots of eyeshadow and blush!), to super daring shu uemura and NARS, fall 2012 is shaping up to be an exciting season for makeup.  Oh, and can we talk about Revlon Shanghai Collection by Gucci Westman?  I’m telling you now… it is going to blow you away (available in September, reviews/swatches to come).
