Lancome Launches Declaring Indigo for Fall 2009

July 29, 2009 Paris B 13 Comments

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L’étendard sanglant est levé !
L’étendard sanglant est levé !

~ La Marseillaise – French Anthem

Bastille Day is celebrated in France on 14 July every year. This year, what with being known as “Paris” and all… I found myself having wine and cheese and admiring the new Lancome Declaring Indigo collection (again!) at their press launch. 😀 How fitting!

Lancome Declaring Indigo launch

Fittingly held in Le Bouchon, a French restaurant in KL, the Declaring Indigo collection was launched with quite a bit of fanfare, with each of the Lancome makeup artists showing their interpretation of the looks created by Aaron de Mey.

Here were the looks produced by the Lancome Color Design team of makeup artists using products from the Fall 2009 Declaring Indigo collection:-

Lancome Declaring Indigo

Although the colours in the Declaring Indigo collection are quite low-key, they can be used 4 ways :-

  • Low Contrast Low Saturation – gentle use of colours, keeping everything light
  • Low Contrast High Saturation – Dramatic on eyes and lips, soft on the face
  • High Contrast Low Saturation – Sculpted look with light colour
  • High Contrast High Saturation – Strong full effect makeup, enhancing facial structure, eyes and ips.

I had my makeup touched up by the resident makeup artist and told him to go nuts! He didn’t quite though its much more dramatic in person. I went for a haircut after this and my hairdresser said “Ooh! You have makeup on! Going somewhere?” 😛 I  can’t quite figure out which of the 4 looks he gave me though, can you?

I was also taken in by the special limited edition collectible Bearbrick made for Lancome (only 16 in Malaysia!) – Its so cute I wanted to swipe it 😛 But of course I kept my itchy hands to myself. Apparently, the limited edition Bearbrick is going to be available as a purchase-with-purchase at Isetan KLCC in September on a first come first served basis. Hmm…

Declaring Indigo launches at all Lancome counters in August 2009 and you can ask the resident makeup artists to teach you the 4 styles of makeup highlighted in this collection. You can see the closeups of the products and swatches for Declaring Indigo in my previous post. The Indigo Gel Artliner and the Indigo Nail polish are tugging at my heartstrings 😛

I know some readers had volunteered as Lancome face models to try out the Declaring Indigo colors the day before – were you one of them and did you enjoy the experience? 🙂

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    i believe the look must be more dramatic in person 😛 at least i have never seen u with heavier makeup before. but maybe just because we don’t hang out often enough ?

      Hey prettybeautiful,

      Haha yeah it was much more dramatic. I don’t use heavy makeup which is why my pictures always look so washed out bleh… no worries, whenever you see me, that’s my normal look 😉

      Hi Jenn

      Haha… yep i think so too though I thought the eyes were quite dark already. I couldn’t figure out which effect they used but maybe you are right.

        RM120???!!! OMG. that is *steep* for a gel liner, even if it does come with a brush. i may have to go hunt for the Maybelline one… unless i decide that Lancome’s sheer metallic gorgeousness is really worth the extra 80 bucks (!!!) over the Maybelline. sigh.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
