Fashion Maven... Mommy: Make Up Forever Technicolor Palette

Saturday, May 11, 2013

The other day, i went on a slight beauty binge at Sephora... i know, BAD CARLA! But I've been good... really i have! But once you get me into that store, I'm like a kid in a candy shop! So i stocked up on some gorgeous finds which you'll read all about in some upcoming posts... but today, I'm showing you the Make Up Forever Technicolor Palette! This palette caught my eyes because of its perfect marriage of classic neutrals along with bold statement colors to create a range of eye-catching looks! So depending on your mood, you can create a wide range of looks with this gorgeous palette!

I love that this palette was inspired by the 1930's cinematic transition from black-and-white motion picture to color imagery! You see, this is what i love about makeup... it truly is an art! You are the artist... your face is your canvas! I've been using this palette to inspired so many fun looks! Today I'll cover swatches though i plan on showing you some fun tutorials in the near future! I will say this, in keeping with Make Up Forever's exceptionally high quality, these shadows are long lasting, highly pigmented and completely blendable! Just the other day, i combined the 'yellow, apple green and turquoise' to create a gorgeous new shade! That's the beauty here... the colors you see here are not the only colors you'll have... you can essentially blend colors together to create new ones! Just like a true artist would right? Oh and it's conveniently equipped with two makeup brushes!

If you don't already own this palette, i find it to be an absolute must! Particularly with the warmer months ahead... i find that there are so many wonderful opportunities here to create fun, playful summer looks! Don't let the boldness of it steer you away.. there are plenty of neutrals to keep things simple but isn't it fun to step outside the box sometimes?! C'mon do it!
