'Saharienne Heat' YSL Summer Collection

Yves Saint Luarent, better known as YSL, has recently released their Summer 2013 make-up collection! The campaign, which features American model Lindsey Wixon (well-known for her bee-stung lips), is titled ‘Saharienne Heat,’ and is inspired by the Sahara desert and the famous YSL safari jacket. Through brilliant hues of violet, coral, green, gold, and bronze, the beauty collection celebrates wild and seductive feminity, and offers dramatic, vivid, and chic looks for your hot summer makeover.

Here are some highlights:

YSL Pure Chromatics Eye shadow ($55)

A new addition to the YSL beauty collection, the Pure Chromatics uses an exclusive technology that allows for the freedom to create both wet and dry makeup looks. When used dry, the shadows produce a subtle shimmering effect, but when used wet, the water boosts the pigments of the shadows for an intense metallic look.

YSL Ombres 5 Lumieres ($58)

The Ombres 5 Lumieres for eyes is an exclusive online palette of five monochrome eye shadow colors: four incandescent, glamorous shades of varying strength and finish – matter, shiny, early, or iridescent – and one highlighter, which are inspired by the Marrakesh sunset.

YSL Dessin Du Regard Crayon Yeux Waterproof ($30)

During summer, a good waterproof eye-pencil is indispensable for creating a hot stay true look. With a silky consistency and a special fixing agent that reinforces color and intensity, this longwearing limited edition Violet Massa tone is perfect for a fresh dramatic look.
