Ciaté London have unveiled an exciting new Fall collection, featuring a stunning array of both limited edition cosmetics and nail polishes. Guest Creative Director and American Socialite Olivia Palermo proudly introduces her collaboration, for the second time running, with the aspirational brand.
Olivia Palermo has built an online empire from her good taste in fashion and her style blog; no wonder this collection is just oozing with modernity and a super-chic feel.
The beautiful edit of fall cosmetics are inspired by Olivia’s love of luxury, high fashion and wearable looks. This collection plays with a selection of different textures and a dazzling variety of Olivia’s favourite fall hues for the eyes, lips and cheeks.
“When developing the collection I wanted to create a variety of textures and shades in the same way I love to mix patterns, fabrics and accessories to style the perfect outfit. Many of the names were chosen to represent not only the hue but the unique textures specially developed for this collection. Others are eclectic touches from my own life and style – I can’t wait for you to play and discover the products I had so much fun creating”
– Olivia Palermo
Attention to detail plays a strong theme throughout the collection, and the luxurious packaging certainly deserves a mention – with it’s to-die-for sleek black and gold finish, we are already putting our wish lists together.

The colours range from a rich aubergine, to an olive green, to a universal grey. They can be built up for maximum coverage, or also worn as a liner.
The subtle Ivory shimmer can make a great highlight under the brow bone. The perfect cool smokey eye palette.
‘Cheekbone Cheat’ Blusher / Bronzer Duos, £25
So this multi-tasking duo set was designed with Olivia’s killer cheekbones as inspiration – and don’t we all want us some of those! Well, now you can.
Available in two shades, and working across all skin types; The duo gives a soft and defined contour to any look. Bluff Point has a deep pink tone which works for fairer skin, whilst Seaside Park offers a more oeachy palette to suit olive and darker skin tones beautifully. Each compact features a soft blendable powder, formulated with bamboo extract to absorb excess oil.
‘Smoked Out’ Gel Kohl Liners, £15
Eyeliner was an important one, as it is Olivia’s must-have product. This is a long-wearing gel hybrid liner created to last. This pencil combines both an easy glide application with the longevity of a gel, and the intense colour pigment of a kohl. This little took will easily allow you to take your daytime look and transform it into a night look with ease.
Available in two colours; a deep black and rich aubergine.
‘Satin Kiss’ Lipsticks, £19
The classic lipstick never goes out of style. It is a handbag essential for any woman, and Olivia certainly places importance on her staple lippy. This collection of lipsticks provide a hit of high-pigment colour, whilst moisturising to give a semi-matte finish.
Perfect to dress up any look, there are four shades to choose from, ranging from a classic red, to a pretty pink, to more nude shades to play with.

What would a Ciaté collection be without some nail varnishes in there? Offering a classic red wine and a sharp dusky blue, these two limited edition nail polishes are a certain must-have to go with your fall style. Boasting two beautifully rich shades, they were custom designed by Olivia based on her favourite colours to wear during this time of year.
Each polish formula has a mesh-lock technology, basically this provides ultimate long lasting colour, durability and high-shine.
Nail Polishes, £17
‘Napa Valley’ is an ultra-rich and classic red. It reminds us of the red hues autumn carries, and was named after the colour you would find hanging from the Napa vines. Olivia finds herself returning to this classic Bordeaux shade again and again, and has fallen for the gel-gloss formula and vibrant colour for brilliant shine and longevity.
Add a subtle pop of colour to any outfit with Olivia’s stunning second shade, ‘New England Fall’. It is the perfect colour to wear during the seasonal transition. It is said to evoke thoughts of the deep blue skies of England during the first days of autumn, and we love that. It is a unique shade, and this colour looks beautiful paired with any look.
