Make Up For Ever Technicolor Palette Box

This spring, Make Up For Ever introduces a striking eyeshadow palette whose hues draw inspiration from the saturated colours of Technicolor.

Make Up For Ever Technicolor Spring 2013 Visual

“I wanted to create an electrifying beauty, the kind that emanates from certain women who leave behind a craving for their radiant, magnetic appeal long after they walk out of the room. I imagined a woman who could draw every eye and stop any conversation just by walking by. This Spring, I am paying tribute to color; to me, the undeniable radiance of yellow expresses the overwhelming pull that can create such irresistible attraction and spectacular sensuality.”

– Dany Sanz, Creator & Artistic Director of Make Up For Ever

Make Up For Ever Technicolor Palette

Emblazoned with a rainbow of colours, the shiny compact is as eye-catching as its contents.

Make Up For Ever Technicolor Eyeshadows

It contains 3 bright statement colours and 5 soft basic colours; the highlight of which is the sunny primary yellow.

A limited edition shade specially created for this set, this happy hue – which symbolises joy and triumph for Sanz – is perfectly complemented by the green and blue to echo the vitality and radiance of springtime.

In the palette are: #04 Black (matte), the limited edition Jaune/Yellow (satin), #91 Apple Green (matte), #72 Turquoise (matte), #16 Lilac (matte), #00 White (matte), #17 Espresso (matte), #126 Yellow Beige (iridescent).

When I first saw the louder shades, I couldn’t help but think of MAC Eye Shadows in Chrome Yellow, Guacamole and Electric Eel!

Make Up For Ever Technicolor Palette Swatches

A cheery eyeshadow ensemble, the brights are nicely offset by the neutrals. I haven’t tried them on my eye yet but they swatch fairly smoothly and seem like they would blend well together. I have a special fondness for the beige whose flesh-toned hue, together with its lovely glide and glimmer, makes a good anchoring colour for its palette companions.

Make Up For Ever Long Wear Eyelid Primer Eye Prime

The looks created with the flashier mattes might have an editorial feel because of their intensity but they can be sheered out if you prefer something subtler. For even more concentrated colour and to prolong their wear, you can pair these eyeshadows with Make Up For Ever Eye Prime.

As expected, the ad campaign is full of colour and energy. Notice anything different about the brand’s picture and typographic logos? Yep, they’ve been tweaked a little for a fresher appearance.
