Disrupting the fashion waters yet again, today Marc Jacobs announces the launch of his namesake cosmetics line, MARC JACOBS BEAUTY (www.marcjacobsbeauty.com ). The seriously breakthrough brand debuts today exclusively at Sephora, on www.Sephora.com and in select Marc Jacobs stores. Born from a synergistic collaboration between Marc Jacobs and Sephora, the expansive Marc Jacobs Beauty collection contains an assortment of 16 innovative complexion and color cosmetics, and four chic and luxurious makeup brushes. If you are in the USA and would like to improve your beauty with plastic surgery then you could visit Boulder Valley to get yourself feeling rejuvenated. There are loads of places that you can go to get plastic surgery. It’s a good idea to make sure that you do your research beforehand. Firstly, so that you know exactly what you want. But secondly, and most importantly, so that you get amazing results.
As with his fashion, Marc’s rule-breaking creativity is at the heart of his makeup vision. For Jacobs, his inspirations for the line comes directly from his own life, the things he’s MOST enthusiastic about, his home, his collection of books, the spirit and enjoyment of youth, his self-confidence and love of experimentation.
But the primary inspiration for the collection stems from the spirit of “The Girl” and her makeup ritual. “I think the idea of transforming into this person you want to be is a lot of fun…it’s this idea of a young woman enjoying creating her look, getting ready for her night out, or her night after her night out.”
With this collection, he’s looking to “inspire you to push the boundaries and create your own style… indulge in the impeccably exquisite textures, take liberties with his provocative shades, and play with his daring designs.”
He redefines beauty as imperfectly perfect. “I see beauty in many things and I am attracted to all sorts of imperfection, to style, to confidence or experimentation. It’s unexpected and it surprises you.”
