Yves Saint Laurent Pure Chromatics

Yves Saint Laurent has a new palette of eye shadows. This time, international makeup artist Lloyd Simmonds decided to come up with some new color combinations. There are 6 new color palettes, and each of them can be applied using the dry method, to get nice soft color, and wet – to enhance the shine and make the chromatic pigments come to life.

Each packaging comes with a set of applicators and nicely perforated base, which speeds up the process of drying. In this collection water is a color catalyst, intensifying the chromatic power of the pearls and pigments.

Iridescent brown melts with pink to create nude beige. Bronze becomes a moiré taffeta under the influence of garnet.”
