I managed to get my hands on these glorious palettes ahead of the launch! Ahead, are my thoughts
A Palette For Every Mood
Doing away with drab clothing and tired palettes — I gravitated towards these stunners to live the summer of my dreams. Even as a beauty editor, I often shy away from dabbling in colour when it comes to my makeup. A conscious effort to deviate from the regular nudes on the lids( that I am infamous for flaunting), was realised by these beauties. The hues are a class apart and help me channel a different mood, every time.
1. Bridal Shower
This palette houses many renditions of coral, perfect for a night of wildin’ and merry making with your gal pals. I love the shade- poppy pink, a hint of which on the lids amps up my whole ensemble!
2. Midnight Glam
Folks who know me up close and personal, can testify to my love for glitter. A swathe of iridescent shimmer on the eyes makes me feel confident and powerful! Inspired by the tones of blue sported by many A-listers this season, I tried the midnight shimmer for clubbing. To my surprise, the formulation didn’t budge even after a crazy night on the dance floor.
3. Disco Dancing
OTT glam has been making waves in the industry, courtesy of network shows like Euphoria. The disco dancing variant in this line carries a deep purple and a vibrant violet that will help you create an awe-inspiring, dramatic masterpiece. I have a penchant for purples, which is why you will find me summoning this product, more often than not.
4. Beach Break
A beach bum at heart, I often get mesmerised by the enormous stretch of aqua that is equal parts calming and stimulating. The beach break palette captures this gamut of emotions and is perfect for a hint of subtle glam. Let the creative juices flow and indulge in makeup artistry, reminiscent of the beautiful beaches.
5. Carnival Day
Pops of striking green and yellow to cater to your whimsies! If you are experimental and willing to venture out of the box — these shades will awaken the innate artist that sits deep within. Special mention to the super-pigmented yellow (my favourite colour) that embodies the spirit of sunshine-y summer.
6. Wild Weekend
Earthy tones that can be used to create under-stated yet dynamic looks. So, what are you waiting for? Bag this stellar beauty ahead of the festive season.
7. Fun Friday
Friday just got more fun! With these beautiful shades at your fingertips, you can channel the carefree, fun-loving attitude that the end of the week brings out. This product carries shades of olive and golden, which can help tie your Indian ensemble together.
