“Eyes are the new fashion accessory. People are obsessed with eye makeup. It’s the most complicated, and it’s the one thing that really can transform you the most.” So says Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz of his eye-focused collection for Lancôme. Elbaz has created three colourful prints featuring hand-drawn eyes, stars, polka dots and hearts. Each pattern “dresses” a Lancôme Hypnôse eye shadow palette, €49, eye shadow mono, €25, or mascara, €28. A set of feathery false lashes, €32, is the star item. The makeup is part of Lancôme’s permanent collection but the packaging is limited edition. Check Lancôme’s YouTube channel (LancomeUKIreland) for an animated film of the makeup’s first “catwalk show”.
