Fall Beauty Buy: Marchesa for Le Metier de Beaute

Filed under: Celebrity Shopping, Cosmetics and Fragrance, Celebrity Design

There's little we don't love about cult-fave makeup line Le Métier de Beauté, but their latest collaboration, inspired by Marchesa's Fall 2010 RTW line, takes the cake. Packaged in a sleek credit card-esque case, the gem of the collection is a compact perfect for a night on the town - pressed powder, concealer, lip gloss in a cherry shine (La Cerise Noir), a cream blush in a peachy pink (La Peche) and a blue-black shadow (Le Minuit). The design of the compact - a sleek mercurial silver hue - was even inspired by Sandra Bullock's Marchesa dress for the 82nd Academy Awards. The collection also features highlighting and concealing pens, double-ended lip gloss and another mini compact.

"Each season," explained Georgina Chapman, co-founder and designer of Marchesa, "Keren and I introduce a new collection, but with the classic and consistent signature that is Marchesa – we transport our customers back to a time when luxury fashion meant the best in tailoring, design, fabric, etc. When it came to launching a cosmetics collection, we wanted to do the same and we found immediately that Le Métier de Beauté shared these same core values."

"The Collection takes the unparalleled textures and formulas Le Métier de Beauté is known for and transfixes them with the essence of Marchesa," says Joanna Vorachek Austin, President of Le Métier de Beauté. "From the sleek packaging and the innovative formulas to the flawless application, the Marchesa for Le Métier de Beauté collaboration brings the best of both brands to the forefront of luxury."

The line will be available exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores beginning on Fashion's Night Out, September 10th.

Marchesa has adorned many a celebrity on the red carpet but this fall the label will be appearing somewhere else: the tabletop. The ladies behind the brand have delved into a collaboration with Lenox to create a line of 8 china patterns inspired by their dresses. Shown above is the 'French Lace' pattern along with it's designer fashion counterpart. "It was very different to design this collection," Chapman told our sister site ShelterPop. "When I design a gown, I drape it, I'm there through the whole process. With the china, it was more collaborative. A lot of times we gave them the artwork or embroidery, or we just gave them a feel for what we liked, what colors we wanted. And they were able to translate it into a beautiful collection."

The patterns will be available on Lenox.com this fall and will start at $100 for a 4 pc place setting.
