Some deep, dramatic purple, violet & blue for Fall, coupled with magenta, fuschia……

Intense jewels tones are very Autumn-Winter appropriate.

Dior 5 Couleurs Lift Eye Shadow

For 2011 Dior has created its first radiant eye lift at the heart of the mythical 5 Colour palette range.

Inspired by the  trompe-l’œil techniques of backstage make-up artists, the 5 Couleurs Lift palette offers perfect cover and illuminates the eyes by bringing together the following :

-A smoothing base-lift packed with active ingredients to correct and even the eyelid

-Two shades of serum-eyeshadow, one light and one dark for make-up which blends seamlessly into skin

-A shimmering radiance highlighter to light up eyes

-An eye and eyebrow pencil for perfectly structured and emphasised eyes

Available in 4 natural colour harmonies with a sculpting effect, 5 Couleurs Lift transforms make-up application into a veritable ritual of eye beauty.

Eyeshadows that actually care for your skin ? I am so sold. My favourites are Lifting Grey & Lifting Ivory. Definitely LPB’s ” must have eye palette ” of the year.

Golden Girl
