My affinity for the Le Metier de Beaute line is no secret! From the Classic Flawless Face Foundation to the Creme Fresh Tints in Mystique and Coral Nymph, LMdB products, without fail, are a part of my daily routine. I am excited to share the latest LMdB Fall Collection, Nouvelle Vague, inspired by the French New Wave Cinema of the 1960s.
Watching iconic New Wave beauties like Jean Seberg in Breathless and Catherine Deneueve in the Umbrellas of Cherbourg always makes me want to create an ultra-clean canvas with flawless foundation, add lush, dark lashes and finish the look with a naturally rosy lip.

Jean Seberg’s porcelain complexion and deep lips are simply stunning.

“I was
tremendously inspired by the visionary spirit of avant-garde European film
directors such as, Jean-Luc Godard, Otto Preminger, and Francois Truffaut,”
says Mikey Castillo, Director of Color for Le Métier de Beauté. “Their radical
style reset the button on social convention (and good taste)!”

Experience each rich hue through the
previous, as all four pigments intertwine to create a prism for the ultimate
color contrast with the wearer’s eye shape and color. Using the Le Métier de
Beauté signature eye shadow application technique, “Couches de Couleur”
(the layering of color), each shade is selected to evoke one element in a
sequence of crescendo: 1. Warm 2. Cool 3. Hot 4. Cold. The combination is famed for increasing the
femininity of the eyes, while adding a dash of mystery.
