Fal 2011 Trends

Like before, I will discuss two different brands under the Estee Lauder umbrella and I will share their Fall 2011 color trend information.

Clinique Fall 2011 trend consists of a whole collection revolving around one of Clinique's most beloved favorites, black honey.  Black honey is an "almost lipstick" that looks very dark in the package but goes on much more sheer.  It is beautiful because it looks different on every woman that wears it, but brings out an attractive color on everyone.  The collection of course has the original black honey lipstick in it, but also some limited edition items.  There was a dual-ended lipgloss/lipstick in the black honey color as well as a limited edition eye shadow quad.  There was also a cream eyliner in black honey and a gradient powder blusher in the same hues as the lipstick.




I think that this was a great collection for fall because the black honey color represents fall so well.  The collection sold well, and like most Clinique trends, sold out in a short amount of time.  Clinique seems to always hit right on with the trends each season because they always gain alot of hype and sell incredibly quickly.

The Estee Lauder Fall 2011 trend is titles "Modern Mercury".  The model is Constance, who is their French model and is seen wearing a sultry makeup look including a red lip.

This is the limited edition "powder-gelee" which is a blush/highlighter that can be worn light or heavy.  It is a new product that Estee Lauder is launching in this trend, so they will see how well it does and it might turn into a permanent item on their line-up.

This collection contains all of your color basics including lipstick, shadow, liners, blush and nail polish.  It is a very sultry collection, which can be seen by the advertisment.  It is advertising a done up eye look matched with a bright lip which embodies an old-hollywood make-up style.  I think that this collection will do well for Estee Lauder because it uses elements of modernity that will mix well with their younger clientele, but also the classic elements, like the red lipstick, which will sit well with the older clientele.

Overall, both collections have similar trends and colors.  They both have a darker lip look matched with a more dramatic eye look.  Fall is always a great season to play with color, so these collections give the customer a chance to purchase some really great items to do just that.
