Launched recently at a gala dinner at Rome’s film studio Cinecitta, the collection explores the different moods the sun creates from dawn until dusk.

Luscious lips

This season is all about bright and bold colours and Sephora has joined |the move by launching new lip trends |that focus on futuristic design. Galactic Glitter, for example, uses a holographic texture and shimmery prism lip topper |to add a new twist to your ordinary |lipstick. Molten Metallic is inspired by the 90’s and is applied on top of ordinary |lipstick for lips that beg to be kissed. Starlit Sheen is all about juicy gloss, |using oily gloss to create an extreme shine on matte lipstick. But the highlight of the lip trends is Sephora Cream Lip Stain, matte lip colour with avocado oil and |vitamin E.that’s is soft, lightweight and long lasting.

Outside the lines

Celebrity cosmetic line Kat Von D Beauty goes one step bolder this |season with a new collection that boasts more high-pigment, full-coverage and long-wear formulas. Tap your inner artist and dare to colour outside the lines with an edgy, boundary-breaking spectrum of colours for your lips, pairing bold shades with perfectly matted skin. The new |collection includes a lip liner that lives |up to the promise of the brand’s best-|selling Everlasting Liquid Lipstick. The long-wear, matte, and waterproof |formula feels comfortable all day and comes in 30 hues from classic nudes |and reds to fearless bolds.

Masterclass in mastery

An exhibition comparing the high |jewellery of Van Cleef & Arpels to the |traditional crafts of Japan within the |context of skilled Japanese and French workmanship is drawing lovers of luxury and beauty to the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto. Continuing through August 6, “Mastery of an Art” is part of Van Cleef & Arpels ongoing series of |exhibitions at various museums in the world, with Kyoto meeting the criteria |for this year’s choice. The exhibition is designed to forge a unique bond between high jewellery, an emblematic example |of French savoir-faire, and the 1,200-year history of the traditional crafts of |Japan and serves as a testament to |the spirit of cultural exchange and |friendship that exists between France |and Japan, and more specially Paris |and Kyoto.
