Color Story: Lancome “L.U.C.I.” Spring 2008

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 | Summer Style

The Lancome L.U.C.I. collection for spring 2008 is inspired by beach sands and luminescent pearls against deep suntanned skin. Lancome has introduced new “photonic” shades of lipstick and gloss to layer over colors to transform looks. On fair skin the “photonic” shades add a pearlescent effect and on dark skin “photonics” deepen the look.

I love the gold and pearl eyeshadows in the Ray of Apricot Light duo because you can really tailor the two shades to get the look you like. I like to sweep the golden apricot shade across the lid for a wash of color then use the pearlescent shade to highlight the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes.

The featured Color Fever Shine lipstick in Desert Pink suits most skintones and the “photonic” shade Luminous can be layered on top for a stunning effect. Also new in this collection are three Ombres Glacee Cooling Gel Illuminator shades for eyes and face as well as the Photonic Illuminating Powder Face Brush that can also be swept across the decollate.
