So what is Toxic Nature all about you ask? 'We scoured the abandoned toxic wastelands of the world to create an eclectic selection of corrupted hues for the eyes, lips, nails, face and body. Flitting effortlessly from poisonous pastel to hazardous neon, this cataclysmic mix of brave new tones take your look to the outer limits of nature's palette.'
Below: One of the make-up looks from the collection.
ABOVE L-R:
Precision Ink in Glister- blended and in a line - Really beautiful pink colour, quite unlike anything else out there, and very striking - probably more so on dark skin.
Cream Pigment in Emerge - bright matte peach, making it a lovely summer shade. Think it would be beautiful with a dark green shadow in the crease.
Cream Pigment in Dab- Less keen on this colour, just never think lilac suits anyone - sorry!
Cream Pigment in Delirium - kinda blah on me, might be better on lighter skintones?
ABOVE Nail Varnish in Purity. Incredible colour, afraid to say that even with super strong Sally Hansen topcoat it chipped after one day. I've found that all Illamasqua varnishes do this, such a shame because the colours are exquisite!
What I did with Delirium...
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
It's hard to do summer make-up without going for the usual boring pastels or yet another bronzer. Well played to Illamasqua for trying something different (well, it is what they do best.) There are some really unique colours in the collection, but what I think might be difficult is actually making a daytime 'look' out of them. I'm looking forward to playing and experimenting with them, and will post/report back.
