Pretty delicious palettes
Flowers and confections are inspiring a loveliness to cosmetic colour that is hard to resist. Like being asked to choose a beautiful bloom from the garden or a sweet treat from a dish of fruit jellies, something is bound to catch the eye.
From pretty pastels to more intense sunset shades, there are a rainbow of options on offer. What saves this gorgeousness from veering into garishness is that it needs to be applied with a light touch, what Yves Saint Laurent's creative director of makeup Lloyd Simmonds describes as "nude in colour".
The trick is to choose a couple of complimentary or contrasting colours from the cornucopia. Pair this with skin that is refined, but with foundation that appears barely there, and just a flush of blush.
Violet and mint are my favourite of the new eye shadows, with tangerine and pomegranate or softer sorbet shades especially appetising for lips. The good thing about these and others of the pretty shades we show today is that, come spring, they will bloom again because makeup shows no sign of ending its recently rekindled love affair with colour.
