We need to try this…STAT!

Prada has launched two new beauty lines under the names of Prada Skin and Prada Colour. They’ve been available since August 1st on the luxury brand’s website, but they have yet to touch down in Ireland. Launching a new line into the heavily saturated market of skincare and makeup is a daunting feat, but we're expecting the brand's formulation and results of these products to be as high end and luxurious as every other Prada product. Experts often hum and haw around the idea of a fashion brand stepping into the skincare and makeup realm, so we’ll be dying to know their opinions as the products begin to face the critics. Both lines, Prada Skin and Prada Colour, have been designed to be refillable, which we love. The Prada Beauty line is developed by the L’Oréal group, under a license agreement that came into effect in January 2021.

The new collection includes:

• 33 shades of "Reveal" foundation
• 26 "Monochrome" matte lipsticks
• six "Dimensions" eyeshadows quads inspired by classic Prada prints
• three "Augmented Skin" skincare products
• ten brushes and tools

If you get the chance to try either new brand, let us know your thoughts over on facebook and instagram in the comment section.
