Daria Werbowy launches “DW” makeup line for Lancome.

Posted by v on May 13, 2008

Deriving inspiration from a trip to Brazil, Canadaian Supermodel Daria Werbowy collaborated with Lancome for a makeup line consisting of earthy rich tones.

Werbowy began by mixing pigments, then graduated to adding pearl to eye shadows and learning techniques to make lipsticks more opaque or translucent — something that the former art student had a blast with. “I started to appreciate red lipstick and other makeup colors I generally don’t wear,” she said. “You can spend days creating one shade — I didn’t really realize the extent of color creation before. But I loved the immediacy of being able to mix and then try things right away, and I got to keep mixing and changing them until they were perfect.”

Proceeds from the collection go to a great cause: Centro Espacial Vik Muniz, a children’s art center in Rio de Janeiro.

Available in Canada at Holt Renfrew.
