Merle Norman Cosmetics sets the summer trend with bright colours

This summer, Merle Norman Cosmetics, the leading specialty brand in skincare and makeup brand, is setting the trend with bright colors that are guaranteed to sizzle. Bright tones return in full force in the summer collection of Merle Norman Cosmetics with shades suiting all skin tones and perfect for playing up eyes, cheeks, and lips.

“Bright is the in-thing in Merle Norman’s new Summer 2011 Color Collection, which also features one of the season’s freshest color trends - Sea Green,” said Mamta Thakkar, UAE General Manager at Merle Norman Cosmetics. “The modern way to wear the trendy Sea Green is to shade in the inner corners of eyes, smudge along lower lash lines, or pair with Violet Ice. Another key shade is coral, and Merle Norman’s interpretation can be found in Coral Reef, Sheer Desire and Sun Kissed.”

Merle Norman’s new limited edition Color Trios contains summer’s freshest color combinations. Summer Eyes 1 blends Sea Shell, Sea Green and Violet Ice to create the watercolor eye that’s right on trend. Summer Eyes 2 blends Bare Necessity, Coral Reef and Golden Berry for a casual chic look. These versatile palettes can create dozens of looks for day and night, ideal for every venue from the beach to the boardroom.

Soft Touch Eye Pencil in Earthy and Copperized pair perfectly with the bright shadow trend. The rich brown and coppery shades subtly define the lash lines so the lids stand out with color. Lasting cheekcolor in Pink Joy and Sheer Desire, and Purely Mineral Makeup in Pink Sunset give the face a lift without taking the focus away from eyes.

Another summer must-have is bright, glossy lips. Merle Norman’s latest lipsticks follow the trend with lush, vibrant color. Creamy Lipcolor in Sun Kissed is a gorgeous sunshiny coral while Sweet Dreams is a spun sugar pink. Age Defying Lipcolor in Pink Escape creates the perfect tropical pink lip. These new hues are applied straight from the tube, sans liner for quick, summertime beauty.

The Summer2011 Color Collection will be available from June 8 at all Merle Norman Cosmetics Studios located at Festival Centre, Dubai Festival City, Level 1 (04 2328566); and Mirdif City Centre, Level 1, South Entrance (04 2840770); Sharjah Mega Mall, Level 2 (06 5748380); and at the new showroom on Jumeirah Beach Road (04 3427232).
