Roberto Cavalli has divulged beauty projects, with his wife and label’s creative director Eva Cavalli revealing makeup plans are to be explored in the coming year.

In an interview with WWD published January 27, Eva described launching a color cosmetics collection as “a dream,” while Roberto suggested hair dye could even be a potential area for expansion in the future.

“I love it. Color is key for me,” said the creator. “I’d like to make many, many things with color and cosmetics — even color for the hair.”

French luxury macaron brand Ladurée has announced the launch of a color cosmetics range called Les Merveilleuses de Laduree.

Created by Albion Cosmetics, the collection will include 20 different blush colors in the form of cameos as well as liquid foundation and lip color.

The range will launch in Japan this February before reaching Europe in fall 2012, followed by the US and elsewhere in Asia.

Chanel’s Le Coton pads, at $20 a package, boast a Japanese-design, handpicked Egyptian cotton and an inner filling “comprised of lightly entwined, elastic Australian fibers,” according to Chanel’s website. Each cotton pad features the Chanel logo.

Dolce & Gabbana’s cosmetics collection The Make Up has announced British actress Felicity Jones as its latest spokesmodel.

Jones will begin appearing in Dolce & Gabbana’s The Make Up advertisements early next year.

The first product line the 28-year-old will represent is the Khol Collection, set for release in January.

Following in the footsteps of fellow fashion brands like Tom Ford and Burberry that have also extended their beauty ranges recently, the Italian designers are readying more products for their offering this fall, reports Women’s Wear Daily.

In addition to their Animalier face bronzer, which launched earlier this year, fans of Dolce & Gabbana will be able to shop Perfect Finish Creamy Foundation (15 shades, $55 each) and Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick (20 shades, $34).

“A woman who applies makeup is doing a very sensual act that captures the attention,” Domenico Dolce told WWD.

Following the release of Violent Lips’ zebra- or cheetah-print temporary lip tattoos and the growing popularity of leopard-print eye makeup, Dolce & Gabbana, are jumping on the bandwagon with their new beauty collection Animalier.

Inspired by the Italian designers’ famed feline patterns, the range, which centers around a leopard-print bronzer, launches at the end of May.

“What I especially love about the Animalier collection is that it is so versatile — there are no rules because the palette is so compatible.”
