Burberry, the British fashion label, has told Women’s Wear Daily that it will release a whole new range of beauty products next year.

After successful fragrance launches such as The Beat, it seemed like a natural move: “It gives another dimension to the brand,” Philippe Benacin, chairman and managing director of Burberry collaborator Inter Parfums SA told WWD.

In September, Chanel will unveil its Noirs Obscurs Winter 2009 Collection, which consists of nail, lip, and eye colors in shades of black.

Chanel has announced its move into Oxford Street’s Selfridges store with a new counter set to open this July, and to celebrate the occasion the brand will be launching a limited edition line of make-up.

The collection was created by Peter Phillips, global creative director for Chanel Makeup, who took his inspiration from the London scene.

The London Madness Collection includes new, eye-popping red shades of Rouge Allure and Le Vernis, and the highlight, the Pearly Banner Palette – an ivory, gold and silver highlighter stamped with the Union Jack.

Scarlett Johansson has been revealed as the face of the new Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics line.

The Marilyn Monroe-inspired ads will debut later this year in the pages of all the big Fashion mags and D&G Makeup will launch this Spring.

“We see makeup as another thing for women, like a dress. We worked on the makeup line like we work on a clothing collection — you can change makeup like you can change your clothes, depending on your mood.”, Gabbana said to WWD.

Directly inspired by Dior Couture Accessories Collection, Night Diamond is Dior’s must have make-up accessory for Christmas. This ultra glamorous metallic black lacquered case with crystal colour gems and rhinestones reveals inside an illuminating sparkling-effect powder for face and décolleté.

Dior Night Diamond Compact is priced at 90$ and is available in 2 shades, a pearly beige and a pale pink (Only available until 31 December).
