Ken Downing’s Bordeaux for Le Métier de Beauté
Ken Downing and Le Métier de Beauté have done it again! When the Neiman Marcus fashion director and the beauty brand teamed up for Spring, the resulting Ken’s Koral — a universally flattering, exclusive shade of summery orange-red — was a runaway hit. But for Fall things are moving towards the deep end of the rouge color spectrum, to a most sophisticated range that Neiman Marcus likes to call Bordeaux. So, after a successful foray into beauty, our sommelier of style returned to the Le Métier de Beauté color lab to concoct a new collection for a new season, a trio of Bordeaux lipstick and nail lacquer pairings.
“The fall runways were filled with a return to polished sophistication and elegance,” says Downing. “Ensemble dressing – elbow length gloves, a sexy pump and coordinating handbag look right for the fashion moment.” The lady-chic concept of ensemble dressing extends into beauty with The Bordeaux Collection’s coordinating polish and lip colors in the “it” color of the season.
“Now, the fashion message for the season is on everyone’s lips and fingertips,” says Downing.
Ken’s Red My Lips (Nail & Lip Set) – Pinot reds.
Ken’s Bodacious Bordeaux (Nail & Lip Set) – Rich, crimson cabernets.
I’m Worn this Way (Nail & Lip Set) – Deep grape shades.
The Bordeaux Collection is available exclusively at Neiman Marcus and neimanmarcus.com.
