I'll admit it. When I first saw this collection I did roll my eyes. That's all the world needs, more nude shades. Talk about yawn-inducing. But this is a unique take on nudes and what is so lovely about the new collection is that the colours are genuinely beautiful luxe metallic shades. They're also very in keeping with the whole mood for SS11 with a 70's vibe. I think most skin-tones could buy the entire range and be able to work them. I'm totally enamoured with the LipGelee in Bubble Lounge and the two Chromographic Pencils (NC15/NW20 and NW25/NC30)which are multi-use skin tone pencils that I'm hoping might work as an eyeliner instead of white on the waterline! (I think white looks too stark on darker skins.)
I love the model too - I did think they'd go down the whole porcelain skin, baby pinks route which most of the brands would probably go down, but obviously don't work for everyone. It's fab that they've gone with a black model!
Unusually, I also like her mismatched brows. And no -I'm not joking - really I do like them. They're huge, beastly even, but I admire their audacity. Statement brows should be celebrated. That is all.
