What was your HG DC'd beloved? Maybe it'll be back or there's something in the perm collection or another brand that someone can recommend?
If you're looking for yellow undertones, I think we'll be seeing lots more of that coming up - nude shades with plenty of yellow and grey undertone - since the trend going forward is nude with noticeable vibrancy but not bright or pastel, so you'd need a little grey and yellow mixed in to get that effect. Yellow pigment is a great way to lighten a color without having to add glaring white, plus it's good for neutralizing a lot of different lip pigmentation, so you can go with different levels of sheerness and still cancel the natural lip. The grey is the way to tone the color down just a bit and have it blend with the skin tone, without making the color too muddy or dark - just a little dimmer and more subtle. I'm really happy about this trend. This sort of color mix is usually very good for my coloring (NC15 with some freckles) and lots of other folks too!
If it's smooth the way Bijou is, it's going to be incredible!!!!
That one and Itchy & Scratchy & Sexy and VG Riri 2 gloss are the ones I'm most excited about.
I think there are going to be a ton of gloss winners this fall. Gloss is 100% back in and MAC is going to make even the matte fanatics love it, it seems. Fashion marches on.
Just let me know whenever. If my store does an event for the weekend of the Simpsons collection, you should fit in a little time to get your makeup done - you've seen some of the photos I've posted...the MAs there are
extremely talented pros and all the best ones that usually aren't around because they work professionally in Hollywood usually come in to work the events. I'll keep you posted.
