The Winter 23/24 Brandon Maxwell Collection – Launchmetrics
Season Elegance
Runway Beauty – And Glowing Skin: Beauty Life Moments takes inspiration from the sheer beauty of the winter collections of Brandon Maxwell – where each runway appearance was glowing skin and a touch of blush. The label was born out of the desire to make women feel beautiful, sophisticated and powerful by creating timeless garments that are impeccably tailored.
Winter sees a return to a backdrop of glowing, fresh, dewy skin that acts as the canvas for a collection of directional looks. It is a revitalisation of the glamour of the 1950’s.
As we begin to explore seasonal beauty start with something elegantly understated, to then evolve a more dramatic direction as the months turn chilly.
Winter is true elegance and sheer beauty is the beginning of the story.
WHAT IS ELEGANCE?
Elegance is the quality of being stylish and gracious. In French it is ‘élégance’. Elegance is to be admired. Genevieve Antoine Dariaux wrote ‘that elegance is a sort of harmony that rather resembles beauty, with the difference that the latter is more often a gift of nature and the former the result of art. L’élégance est à admirer.
A FRESH BEAUTY VEIL
Nothing says glowing, dewy skin more than a combination of hydration and sheer layers of just a tint of colour on lips, cheeks and eyes. From preparing your skin as a canvas to highlighting your natural features a fresh beauty veil will be effortless. It is a look that you can adapt across any season.
IMPECCABLE COVERAGE
The sheerest of beauty should be effortless, light and almost there. These are three beautiful pieces for your face, lips and cheeks to reflect a beautiful soft complexion.
The Face Tint By Sisley – Phyto-Tient Nude
A fluid skincare foundation for an ultra-natural complexion and hydrated, energised skin. It is as Sisley states ‘undetectable yet impeccable.’ It is a water-infused foundation that leaves a subtle natural finish. Available in 16-shades, Phyto-Tient Nude is enriched with active ingredients to help energise your skin. I change my foundation shades as the seasons change.
The Beauty Note: For a professional finish apply with the Fluid Foundation Brush to enable you to spread out and smooth all fluid foundations for a perfectly even application.

A GLOWING BLUSH
The Cheek Tint By Nars – After Glow Liquid Blush
Glowing skin and a touch of blush could not be more beautiful than embellished by a sheer face tint. Nars After Glow Liquid Blush offers skincare benefits that creates a healthy glow with a lightweight, transfer-resistant formula that builds and blends without streaking. Enriched with vitamin E and Vegan Collagen to help protect and smooth skin, After Glow Liquid Blush is Vegan certified and fragrance free. My shade pick is Behave – the sheerest of pretty pinks.
The Beauty Note: For a natural finish use the applicator to deposit colour on the back of your hand. For a bold rush apply two dots directly on cheeks, gently tapping on the colour.

RADIANT SATIN LIPS
A Nude Lip By Madame Gabriela Beauty
The ultimate warm nude lip shade, Sydney At 8AM. This lightweight nude has peachy-pink undertones and is perfect for pale to medium-dark skin tones. I discovered Madame Gabriela Beauty and have fallen in love with the radiant award-winning satin formulas. The non-toxic lip colour provides perfect colour pigmentation and keeps your lips hydrated. Embellished with a lip cocktail of antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, and vitamins. No matter the time of day your lips will be glowing naturally with Madame Gabriela Beauty.
The Beauty Tip: Use Sydney at 8AM over Saint-Tropez At 11AM lip primer. This nude shade can double as a cream blush.
