Yves Saint Laurent Pure Chromatics 4 Wet & Dry Eye Shadows
Yves Saint Laurent’s new, beautiful eye shadow palettes give you the ability to create new and exciting make up looks every day. The difference between this palette and others is that the eye shadows are formulated with water, meaning you can apply them wet or dry.
When applied dry the result is silky and radiant colour, perfect to wear at the office or out to lunch. When applied wet the satiny powder is transformed into a cream, which intensifies the colours so your eyes will pop with a metallic finish, making it perfect for a night out.
Three colour palettes, RRP $90. Available from selected Myer and David Jones stores. Call 02 9931 8888 for stocklists.
Rimmel London Glam’Eyes Eyeshadows
Sometimes the hardest thing about choosing eyeshadows is knowing what colours actually suit you. Rimmel has solved this problem by providing some great information on the back of their compact to tell you what colour eyes the shades will complement and what shades go together for different looks.
The colours in the range are fun and bright, perfect for experimenting with new shades you haven’t tried before. We are loving the State Of Grace Quad, which has a vibrant silver metallic that is great to wear on its own in the day or as a brilliant base with the deep purple shade for a sultry night look.
