As the new season kicks in, Merle Norman Cosmetics, the leading American skincare and makeup brand, is introducing the new LUXIVA® Color Max Shadow.
From classic to trendy, the collection of eyeshadows adds daring color palettes from gilded golds and coppers to smoldering greens and blues that complement a range of lipsticks in blackened darks, bright reds and rich berry shades.
The new collection draws inspiration from a fashion trend that blends aristocratic style with earthen influences. Luxurious layers of yarns, twills and faux fur are injected with bright colors, creating intensely pigmented fashion-savvy shades that will appeal to the makeup artist in everyone.
Mamta Thakkar, UAE General Manager, said: “Merle Norman’s Fall 2010 collection of vibrant colors allows women to create their own choice of bold up-to-the-minute looks that are as trendy as they can get.”
The rich, jewel-tone couture colors satisfy the latest eye craze and have a unique one-swipe application feature. They mix and match beautifully based on their easy-to-blend super-fine jet-milled powders. Duo-chromatic pigments and magnificent pearlized powders create sensational multi-dimensional effects.
“LUXIVA® Color Max Shadows are so dramatic that they have become the go-to shades of the Emmy Award-Winning Makeup Artist Patti Ramsey Bortoli, who’s been using them on the US-based reality TV show, ‘Dancing with the Stars!’ These high-impact colors have graced many faces on the show including Cheryl Burke and Kate Gosselin,” Thakkar added.
Available in seven shades perfect for fall: Glacier, Cobalt, Lilac Luster, Ebony & Ruby, Golddigger, Charcoal Green and Chocolate Sun. LUXIVA® Color Max Shadows are available in Merle Norman Cosmetic Studios located at Festival Centre, Dubai Festival City, Level 1 (04 2328566); Mirdiff City Centre, Level 1, South Entrance (04 2840770); and Sharjah Mega Mall, Level 2 (06 5748380).
