Christian Loboutin New York - Arabstoday It was a bottle of bright red nail enamel which first inspired Christian Louboutin to coat the soles of his vertiginous stilettos. And now the footwear maestro has announced he will be launching his first cosmetics line next year. The venture seems like a natural fit for the 49-year-old Frenchman who proclaimed “the beauty adventure is the natural extension for someone like me, who likes to empower women”. It was revealed that he will be collaborating with Batallure Beauty on the collection, whose clients also include Madonna and Justin Bieber. The range will be sold globally, though Louboutin is coy about precisely which products he'll be offering, teasing only that they'll be "very constructed, quite different, and unexpected."
