At the Dolce&Gabbana Spring/Summer 2011 Ready to Wear show in Milan, Dolce&Gabbana evoked the relaxed elegance of Sicilian sensuality. The collection’s easy glamour was also evident in the palette used on models’ eyes and lips, each taken from Dolce&Gabbana The Make Up. (Photography by Delphine Achard and Ludovic Belmonte.)
Pat McGrath on Lip Jewels: “The mouth is such a focal point; Stefano, Domenico and I have always believed that drop dead glamour and innermost sensuality comes from an emphasis on the lips,” says Pat McGrath. “So we really worked hard to come up with the shades that were not just our favorites but every woman’s favorites. The three reds we chose are very luscious, shades I’ve worked with time and again on the runway. I’ve played with them a lot-I’ve mixed them together, used them solo-and have come up with very rich passionate looks. And Nude is so perfect for contrast or a really simple natural look… they’re all just gorgeous… overall stunning.”

The models look awful, just skin and bones. Really off putting.
Couldn’t agree more
Well they are models, it’s their job to be skinny.
you’re my hero
I disagree. Models shouldn’t have to be skin and bones. Slim and healthy, yes, but they just look sick.
yes they do not look well. I think slim figures are fine, but not at the cost of health, and these girls look sick
i think these models look highly malnutritioned, and it’s not attractive at all
you could be skinny, fit, and attractive (say victoria secret models). but this is just scary
*SCREAMS*
*DIES*
SHAME on D&G for making such gorgeous packaging! OMG!
I think I’m just admiring the jewel compact. :O
will these be for sale?
November
The Lip Jewel palette looks pretty! If it’s released with the spring collection, I will be in Italy and can check it out at one of the D&G counters there! Yay! :p
No offense to anyone, but I think that just looks so tacky!
oh gosh that model in the black lace dress looks so malnourished/anorexic
When I saw the models it made me forget about the makeup
…..
me too . oh my gosh. ( and i worried that im too skiny …
I love it! The colors look so versatile, and like they would work on any skin tone. Not to mention the packaging is gorgeous. I’m usually strictly a Dior Addict when it comes to lips, but I can’t wait to try this.
Packaging is amazingly beautiful! Sounds like you had fun with these,Christine
Hmm? I haven’t used any of these!
Why do the models look so…such a shame because the compact is gorgeous…..that model is hurting my eye!!!
That MUA is using her fingers. Ew.
That MUA is Pat McGrath…
There is nothing wrong with using your fingers on clients, as long as they are clean and sanitized.
I was working on a campaign shoot recently, and the MUA used the same tube of mascara with the mascara wand it comes with on all girls. Meaning about 20, or more. No sanitizing whatsoever. Very shameful. I think it’s kinda common for MUA’s to use their hands though, especially on models. I wouldn’t really mind, as long as I get clean hands and a seperate mascara wand.
Those models look so unhealthy. I wish the industry could change to use people that don’t have to starve themselves. Or at least look like the majority of the population. It’s such a sad message they’re sending.
I love Pat McGrath! Pretty packaging for the makeup.
i personally don’t like lip color palettes. i’m more of a lipglass girl. the packaging is pretty though
i am afraid to ask how much that little jeweled compact is
Makeup aside these women look ridiculously gaunt. Such a shame! You can be beautiful without looking like a skeleton. How horribly unhealthy and unattractive.
well its says “drop dead glamour ” …i ll never buy anything whats been shown at that unhealthy woman body . i dont wanna sponsor that kinda idea. what happened to sexy looking models like in 90ties ?
Why a lip palette as the focal point? Those are no fun.
I personally applaud Pat McGrath (<3) and D&G for going the route of a lip palette and kind of re-introducing customers to lip products =] I mean honestly, just look at celebrities, when do you ever see them wearing anything but a taupe/brown/black smokey eye nowadays and how many "tropical eye" or "sunset eye" tutorials are there on Youtube? I think anyone who rocks these shades when this palette comes out is surely gonna be noticed for the right reasons.
Why, please, tell me, why models are always so… scheletric! They’re not beautiful at all
I normally really like D&G’s makeup line, but I have to agree, the image of the compact looks a bit tacky to me too. The actual product may look more quality like, though!
I’m not a fan of lip palettes, though at least these don’t mix powder eyeshadows cream products. That’s a big no-no in my book.
I wonder how many of these compacts Pat McGrath had to go through during the show. Doesn’t seem like these hold a large amount of product, suitable for 15 models.
The palette looks damn good. Over the top, but in a good way.
I can’t wait to see swatches, the colors look great!
Somebody feed these girls!
