If you are lucky enough to get Sephora’s catalogs, you know how much fun it is to see the colors they show for each season.
Spring 2010 is no exception.
Bright and vibrant
The colors are bright and vibrant, more bright and vibrant than they have been in a while — and they fit right in with the advertising and bottle of Sara Jessica Parker’s new NYC fragrance. The dress she wears in the print ads would fit right in with the Sephora catalog.
I suspect this will get fashionistas to open their wallets for new colors.
Splitting lid and under eye colors
One thing I find particularly interesting about the eye makeup is that they are splitting the colors from the lid to the under eye. This is throughout the catalog.
Some looks to try
Grey and plum
One particularly pretty look is on a model with dark hair and light gray eyes. Her lids are deep gray, with a pink in the area under the brow. Her under eye is a deep purple/plum. She is wearing deep pink lipstick.
Warm pink or apricot with blue or purple
The model has dark hair and brown eyes. Her lid is warm pink. Her undereye is either periwinkle blue or purple. She is wearing a medium pink lip. I didn’t like this look as well. The contrast is too great in the shadow colors.
A couple of interesting eyes with vertical placement of colors
This is an interesting look, one that they perhaps copied from the gorgeous Shiseido print ad of a couple of seasons ago. You’d have to have the right eye and the right colors and the right place to wear this look for it to be successful. However, the Shiseido eye was magnificent. I’d like to have someone do that eye on me.
Bright pink shadow
This wasn’t particularly pretty on a couple of models. Not the right shade of pink for their skin tones.
Only one model that looks natural
She’s on page 12 and in her early 20’s, if that. Blond hair, blue eyes, pink nude lip, soft nude shadows.
Bright blue liner
The model is dark haired, brown eyed, medium tone skin, wearing nude pink lip. The only splash of color is the liner.
Bright turquoise shadow or liner
I use this a lot. It was vibrant on the model.
Important to get the balance right
For these looks to look right — and not just tacky (which some of these looked) (unless you are going for tacky) — the balance of tone, shades and colors has to be right. Sometimes a nude lip works; sometimes a bright lip works. They are pairing with brights in shadows either way.
It will be interesting to see if this color trend crosses all the major and indie cosmetic lines. Then, if people will embrace it.
I’m definitely going to try the gray and plum look.

September 23rd, 2009 — Arbonne, Browns, Eye Shadow, Eye liner, FOTD, LOTD, Lip Gloss, Lipstick, Pinks, Purples
Arbonne’s Platinum palette, available for Holiday 2009, is very versatile. There are 4 shadow colors, all with some shimmer: off-white; pink; brown; purple-gray.
I wanted to try several color combinations over the last few days. Any of the colors could be used alone with or without liner. Or the light and darks could be used with each other or just the two light colors, as I did today.
The lip gloss is gorgeous with flashes of micro shimmer. I’m not able to show how pretty it is with my photos.
Monday
Purple-Gray on lid; Brown in Crease.
Tuesday
Gray-Purple on lids with a bit of pink
Wednesday
Off white on lid; pink in crease.
Used with Arbonne Slate pencil liner. This was exactly the right color to give definition without being dark like black would be.
This is used with Paris lipstick, not the gloss from the palette. Isn’t it a gorgeous color! I hesitated to buy it, as it isn’t something I normally wear, but I think it will be a favorite. I used a very small amount of Arbonne Naughty lip pencil to define the edge. It is darker than the lipstick, and I didn’t want to change the color.
