In their most recent beauty/fashion collaboration, Stila Cosmetics has created a limited-edition compact inspired by the makeup at Marchesa’s Fall 2008 runway presentation. “We look for designers who represent our philosophy of how we see ourselves,” Sarah Lucero, Stila’s director of artistry and education, says of the brand’s Backstage Beauty Collection. And how is that? “Classic but modern,” Lucero says, adding, “We can represent our beautiful makeup with their beautiful designs.” The black patent compact houses an eye palette of whites, peaches, and grays to conjure the “dreamy, Elizabethan classic girl” that Lucero helped create to complement Marchesa’s jewel-toned gowns. As a bonus, there’s a faux-leather rosette wrapped around the packaging that can be worn as a bracelet—or a necklace, if you’re feeling that whole early-nineties choker vibe.
