Merle Norman’s Fall 2011 Color Collection embodies the dramatic eye/soft cheek and lip look that is so hot this season. Both of the eye shadow compacts are so unexpected — one is bright blue, soft silver and a desert gold and the other is a soft vanilla, cranberry and a shimmery black. Drama!
The cheeks are soft pinks and the lips are neutral pinks and nudes. So pretty.
