Christian Siriano to Create Limited Edition Makeup Line for Victoria’s Secret

From People.com’s StyleWatch:

Christian Siriano is no stranger to fashion collaborations, having already created a clothing line with Bluefly.com and cheap-chic shoe collection for Payless since his Project Runway win.

But this fall the designer will be following in the stylish footsteps of the show’s supermodel host Heidi Klum, who has her own signature makeup collection with Victoria’s Secret, and branching into beauty with a glam new collection of his own for the brand.

The limited-edition Christian Siriano for VS Makeup will include five shadow shades, black liner, three gloss colors, a bronzer-highlighter, makeup brush and a ruffled cosmetic bag. Prices for the collection will start at $12 for eyeliner and top out at $32 for the luxe face brush.

Well, this strikes me as overkill. I personally don’t think the cosmetics industry is for dabblers - there is some science involved, and besides, once it’s on your face, it’s not like anyone is going to recognize it as a certain brand (“is that Christian Siriano eye shadow? AMAZING!”)

The packaging, with its gold stud containers and patterned shadows, is pretty cool, not that that’s any testament to the quality. Until I hear the reviews, the only thing that could seriously lure me away from my MAC is the totally adorable ruffled cosmetics bag.
