A call to all the senses

Bathe the body and spirit in sunlight. Dare to dazzle with a luminous complexion. Radiate a warm, sexy, provocative, amber-hued light.

For Summer 2008, Yves Saint Laurent make-up finds its source in the heart of Africa and takes inspiration from the favorite themes of its creator to celebrate its 30th anniversary year in sublime color.  A call to all the senses and an invitation to sensuality, Africa, the land of adventures, finds all its power concentrated in a collection that combines seductiveness and exoticism. Val Garland, Artistic Advisor for Yves Saint Laurent Make-Up, creates a masterfully controlled play of African lights for an indomitable woman ready to conquer the urban jungle.

The Yves Saint Laurent woman radiates a magnetic, almost animal force. Ready to cast her spell, she holds a mysterious tribal jewel, SOLEIL D’AFRIQUE bronzing powder, as her secret weapon.  A strong circle of smooth beechwood, a noble, living material, conceals POUDRE DE SOLEIL in an exotic interpretation. Decorated with an embossed motif inspired by African fabrics, the powder warms the complexion and enhances a tan.

Ideal for creating a natural, healthy glow with the first rays of sun, VOILE DE SOLEIL N° 2 – Copper Veil, and TOUCHE ÉCLAT N° 3 – Light Peach, make her skin shimmer with an amber glow. The Sienna shade of TOUCHE BLUSH N°6 sculpts her cheekbones. While her wildcat eyes burn with the matte, feline hues of the PALETTE COULEURS D’AFRIQUE. Four, pure, matte, richly-pigmented shades evoking the tones of the sun-burned African earth, to use alone or in combination.  A play of exquisite colors that warm the eyes with a riveting light-and-shadow effect. Her lashes are long and protected with EVERLONG MASCARA WATERPROOF N° 1 – Ever Black. Her lips, tantalizingly plumped with GLOSS REPULPANT N° 4 – Glossy Nude, shine with a brilliance that intensifies her powers of attraction.
