Brazil is starting to become a power house in fashion, if not already. I actually did an article on their fashion industry here. Now it seems as though the beauty market jumping on board too; Clarins Makeup line is doing a collection inspired by this beautiful country. Notice the sun burnt colors of the eye shadows and the lip balms. There is also a pink and whats interesting is that usually when you have pale or subtle colors, you throw in a dash of a bright color tone like red, orange, electric blue ect, but as you can see, there are bright tropical color with a dash of pale pink…it’s like a rule that you must have at least one opposite tone in a complete color palette. Anyway, I also love the blue in the collection, it’s Pantone color 19-4050 which is trending heavily for accessories especially purses. The eyeshadow shown above is rich and electric. I saw a trend report where they referred to that color as petrole blue. It’s just something so electric about that color, and it immediately draws the eye to it no matter how you wear it. Complementing colors, or colors that bring out the brilliance of this blue is white, fiery red, and pale pink. Ah Brazil…I will be seeing you soon for a closer look of what Brazil Fashion has to offer.
