EXCLUSIVELY AT SAKS FIFTH AVENUE. An iconic collection of everything you need for lips, cheeks and eyes to create Kate’s fresh-faced, Brit-rock glamour. Hand-picked by Kate, with love.
LIPS:
Kate chose 4 shades to create her iconic lip-look — be it a neutral nude or a radical red – with custom variations in between. Incredibly moisturizing with that perfect “just-matte” texture. A single Lip Pencil in a universal brick shade completes any lip look. It’s fuss-free (no sharpening required) with a lip brush built into the opposite end. Sweat and humidity-proof, it’s ideal if you work under serious lighting like Kate, live in or frequent humid climates.
EYES:
There’s something about black eyeliner, whether worn smoky or smudged. Kate’s versatile version creates everything from a precise line to a perfect cat, even a full Cleopatra if the mood strikes. Four warm shadows offer endless possibilities from soft to bold. “Moss Green” (of course) was a personal favorite of Kate’s. Inspired by the beauty of her eyes, it will set yours off, too.
BROWS:
Brows have made a big comeback in the past year. Whether you prefer a boy-brow or a cool sliver, you’ll find a one-shade-fits-all neutral pencil that comes with a special blending tool to frame your new look. Plus it’s smudge-proof.
CHEEKS + COMPLEXION:
Kate loves the glistening look of sun-kissed skin, so she made sure the palette includes all the essentials to create a bronze shimmer. An allover dusting powder finishes any look.
Collection includes:
 |
| Closeup…all ten shades have excellent color payoff and lasting power. |

In the look that follows, I combined the *Decorte Kate Moss Favorites Set with the these keylproducts to create two different looks:
*Luzern La Defense Urban Protect Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
This sunscreen features antioxidants, an ultra-lightweight texture and 100% mineral protection (my composition of choice when it comes to SPF) for skin that is balanced and shielded from the harmful rays of the sun. Additionally, it wears very well under makeup (no pilling, pulling or obvious flashback)!
*La Prairie Skin Caviar Foundation in Caramel Beige (reviewed HERE)
Still in my top three foundation formulas, this particular base has gorgeous coverage, efficacious skincare benefits and a natural finish that lasts all day; the creamy, coordinating concealer further enhances Skin Caviar’s covet-worthy status.
*Kevyn Aucoin Matte Bronzing Veil in Desert Nights (reviewed HERE)
This matte bronzer is a true deep tan, making it excellent for subtle contouring and an all-over wash of warmth.
*Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow
Just a drop of this on the high points of my face (e.g., upper cheek bones, brow bones and down the bridge of the nose) offers a dewy sheen that makes skin look lit from within without the slightest trace of shimmer…brilliant.
*Oribe Swept Up Volume Powder Spray
This lightweight texturizing spray yields instant volume and is marvelous for breathing new life into second day hair.

Off-white booties
I got this particular pair a few years ago but found very similar options HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. The color works well with my entire wardrobe and is an unexpected yet effortless option.

| The eye look…I mixed the gold and “Moss Green” hues for a soft and glimmering neutral finish. |
 |
| For a quick switch, I removed the red lip color and combined the lip liner with both nude shades in the *Decorte Kate Moss Favorites Set. |

Great post! Kate Moss has been a sartorial inspiration to me for many years! I am particularly fond of the moss green eye shadow– it seems it woould be very flattering on a multitude of eye colors.
I am also really liking that Equipment dress; the cut is both classic and fresh. I am curious, though, about how tall are you? I am 5'8", and find some of their dresses hit a little too high up on the leg (particularly the side slits) to be comfortable without shorts underneath. This one looks like it may be a bit longer.
Thanks so much, Carramaus! I feel the exact same way about Kate Moss and this palette definitely lives up to expectations.
With regards to the dress, I am 5'8 1/2" and dress falls at a perfect length…not too short, even with heels.
Hope that helps and thanks for sharing your thoughts here…XO,

I have had my eye on that Decorte since it popped online. So excited to see swatches on your blog! Would you happen to have any idea when that new LMdB concealer may be available at other retailers?
