Spring 2012 Forecasting

Not much information is present for the Spring 2012 color trend collections.  What I did find was actually really great, though.  Tom Pecheux, the creative director for Estee Lauder, is known for creating make-up looks for such runway shows as YSL and Derek Lam.   I found some information on the Spring 2012 Derek Lam show where he came up with the make-up looks.  I think that these make-up looks will coincide with the future trends for Estee Lauder as a brand.







The specific products/colors used on the two models are as follows:

Face• Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex
• Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator
• DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme SPF 15
• New foundation tested backstage (launching March 2012)
• Double Wear Concealer Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer SPF 10
• Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder
• Pure Color Blush tested backstage (launching February 2012)

Eyes• Pure Color EyeShadow Palette in Yellow shade (#5) used (launching January 2012)
• Pure Color Gelée Powder EyeShadow in Cyber Copper (launching November 2011)
• Pure Color Gelée Powder EyeShadow in Cyber Green (launching November 2011)
• Pure Color Intense Kajal EyeLiner in Blackened Olive (launching November 2011)
• Sumptuous Extreme Mascara in Extreme Copper

Lips• Pure Color Gloss in Citron Kiss (launching January 2012)

Nails• Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Nude Attitude (available in select International markets)

As you can see, Spring 2011 and Spring 2012 are very different.  This is common in the beauty industry, brands always like to come out with something new and different each season.  2012 is going to be much more natural, but still using hints of bright colors like yellows and greens.
