Forget obscure French new wave films or epic journeys through the Middle East—for fall, Revlon’s Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, was simply inspired by art.  Specifically, the expressionist exhibit on at MOMA this summer. To better explain, Westman invited a group of editors to walk through the exhibit. ”I was inspired by Abstract Expressionism when the artists, particularly the New York artists, evolved from black and white pieces and began experimenting with color,” she said, breezing past Franz Kline’s classics, Arman’s I Still Use Brushes, and her favorite Twomblys like Leda and the Swan. “I came to MOMA to be inspired every day for a week,” she said. “I took in different pieces, moods, at different times of day. I loved the artists’ use of color, textures and compositions.”

As a result, you won’t find your basic fall browns. Instead, Westman blends gossamer hues in sheer, glittering textures into those deep, traditional autumn colors. Westman pointed out that her use of sparkles in varying sizes and textures was directly influenced by the artists. For example, Westman combined four beautiful glosses and a lipstick, including a deep wine shade into a limited edition palette called “Bordeaux in the Snow,” a shout-out to Revlon’s iconic “Cherries in the Snow” lipstick. Contrastingly, the collection includes a ‘60s-inspired super-light creamy pink and beige hybrid that we swear must be the exact shade Lisa Houseman was shouting for in Dirty Dancing: “Where is my beige. Iridescent. Lipstick.” Four nail polishes round out the collection: three uber-sparkly sheers in light pink, bright blue and fuchsia tempered by one neutral warm greige shade that’s “inspired by Cy Twombly’s creamy shades,” Westman said. “How he sees people, it’s such an innocence.” Expressionists By Gucci Westman for Revlon will hit stores in October.
