| HOLIDAY HAPPY COLOURS |
I know we
haven’t celebrated Christmas yet, but after being saturated with copious amounts of glitter, gold
and sparkle leading up to the festive week, it was a breath of fresh beauty air when something caught my eye that
looked light and sweet, reminding me of warmer and fun times ahead.
Estee
Lauder’s Pure Color Pretty Naughty collection, is not hitting the stores until
February, but I thought I’d shout about it now to build up a little bit of
excitement for what really is a dullsville month. Usually a month of dull skies and no celebration - except if it's your birthday, so a little bit of pretty certainly wouldn't go a miss!

Tom
Pecheux, creative make-up director for Lauder has really tapped into the sunny
side of his nature for his uplifting trend collection for spring. Yes,
these watercolour pastels could be classed as pretty naughty, or in my eyes just
plain pretty – without being insipid. Shades take inspiration from an English
garden, but far from twee, they're given an urban twist and described as youthful and rebellious. Find your inner
rebel by playing up the fanciful soft hues in the eye palette, and then slightly taming with the
dark pigments for emphasis. The double ended Kajal EyeLiner in black and sky
blue can be used to give a youthful flicker or bold definition at the corner of the eye. Nail the look with Insatiable, the light weight lilac nail polish that’s a tad off-beat. The
whole collection may have grown from the creative seeds of an English garden, but
to me the colours just sum up the joy of travel – blue skies and happy minds.
