Eyes
The July 2007 issue of Allure magazine says the eyeshadow colors of the moment are pastel. On page 56 they show lovely shades of pink and lavender. You can create your own shimmery sheer look with Noevir’s N5 Gradation Eye Color # CO-5. The compact includes 5 colors: Amethyst Shimmer Cream, Lavender Sorbet, Lilac Blossom, Fancy Mauve and Violet Splash. This tone-on-tone palette lets you match a silky cream hue with four powders in coordinating textures: matte, pearl and metallic pearl.
Here’s an expert tip on using the Gradation shimmer cream — Using a flat eyeliner brush, apply shimmer cream along the lash line from the outer corners inward. Taper off at the outer edge of the iris to make eyes pop, or smudge further inward for a smoldering, smokey-eyed look.
Lips
Allure also pays tribute to Lil Mama’s “Lip Gloss” song and video. If you want your lip gloss to be “poppin,” use Noevir’s N5 Lip Gloss Duo # BE-1 in Lush Petal/Pink Slip. Get the perfect pouty look by applying Lush Petal to the entire mouth and then dotting Pink Slip in the center of both lips.
