A New Slew of Looks from Smashbox Studio Pop 2012 Palette. A Gift that Keeps on Giving

 

 By Laura Medina

In the mood for cleansing out the bathroom and the vanity, as well as your insides tomorrow.

This means a new makeup with less clutter.

This scribe knows the apprehensions about the cluster of mismatching eye shadows, lipstick, gloss, and clashing blushes in makeup palettes.  The array of texture, shine, and color confuses most folks.

But, Smashbox's makeup palettes and kits are thoroughly thought-out and coordinated by their professional makeup artists before they're released to the public.

This scribe enjoyed testing the latest Smashbox Studio Pop Ultimate Palette then figured this is a great "traveling makeup case in a book" that one can slide through TSA screening then have a multitude of great classic looks for shopping, cooking, and partying.

Smashbox Studio Pop Ultimate Palette has some classic daytime with soft-focused features and a suede texture.  The muted gray-brown Rapture, the slightly purple-brown Fig and the coffee-rich Sumatra give the eyes a soft, velvet depth to the eyes.  Sunkissed Matte Bronzer to sculpture the cheekbones then highlighting them with a Passion Blush is the classic Winter Flush rosy look.  Tea Rose lip color brings a healthy rush of rosy pink to the lips.  You look alive and healthy, not sick with a rosy nose, with this wintery classic face.

The new evening look for 2013 is Disco Diva with a new pearlescent shimmer, replacing the Seventie's heavy, greasy feel and texture.

Evening Sunset purple and lilac replaces the black on black eye makeup and the bloody red lips.  A sunset ombre trio of Lavendar opening the entire lids, Orchid to smolder and Aubergine to line and define the eyes.

Prism Soft Lights flush the cheeks.  Petunia Blush is the spotlights the cheeks' high points.

A light tap of Lily lip color then glossing clear but glittering Freeze adds the sparkle.

This palette can be used straight into Spring 2013, Summer, Fall then back to Winter, just in time to restock your new palette for that year.

Smashbox Studio Pop Ultimate Palette keeps on giving...in the way you want it.
