Introducing the Spring 2009 Smashbox Muse Collection - a simply stunning collection of soft sheer subtle shimmer shades packed with Smashbox innovation and wrapped in the most gorgeous white, paint speckled packaging.
Wowing us at JBD when we had our preview about a month ago - these Spring colours are designed to enhance your make up look, creating natural looks with that hint of more. The concept is the artist's muse and so the design is based on artists' tools - 'oil paint' tubes of luscious lip gloss in the prettiest shades, wooden pencils containing the award winning cream eyeliner putty (incredibly soft and easy to use in stunning colours) a new Blush Rush colour - (you need to try this new blush - it gives the softest almost primer like finish to the cheeks in the prettiest build-uppable colours) a new Hybrid Luminising Primer Shade and the most user friendly eye palette. Top that off with violet Bionic mascara and how stunning is that.
Smashbox Muse enables you to create the looks of the season - vibrant shadow from the Muse Palette can look positively soft and angelic if you use a light touch and wash the colour on lids. Concentrate the deepest colour along the lower lashline, and make eyes really pop by using a volumising mascara in a subtle black violet shade. Complete the look with glossy soft pink lips.But don't take our word for it - handsome Hank at Smashbox shows you so much better than we can say. As he says - Smashbox 'demystifies' make up. And looking at these shades, all we can say is ....perfection!
