SEVEN SHADES OF GREY-------> ESSENTIAL DARKER

Essence, my favourite save yourself a penny brand has officially released their "all that greys" edition. The brand is set to take make up looks all the way back to the 1920's, focusing mainly on retro-party -glamour. See guys not everything that sparkles is silver or gold, sometimes GREY saves the day (I was certainly not thinking of my favourite fictional character Christian Grey while writing this...wink wink)...

So what exactly happens when shades of grey meets rosy red? A blast from the good old '20s. The combination of sultry scarlet red and the blends of all tones of grey certainly is a noteworthy love affair. (Juicy, Juicy....)

The Essence "all that greys" range is available at Clicks stores during this youthful month of June and will be stocked up in all your nearest Dischem's round about early July.

So what exactly does this range consist of:
An eye shadow palette... A good blend of eye shadow tones and textures is everything and the Essence eye shadow palette is made up of seven shades of rose and grey.

...........Flash back to "The perfect pout" in the 1920s...........
Lips were decorated in Scarlett reds or rose reds. In the 20's the ladies would under draw their natural lip line and would draw their lip lines in such a way that their upper lips would appear to make a cupid's bow shape. (Unfortunately this will be drifting away from the overdrawn lip lines we currently prefer due to our King Kylie lip addiction).


...........Flash back to "The rouge" in the 1920s...........
Blusher was applied in circular brush motions as opposed to angular contoured like motions we are now used to. The idea was to create a rounded face as opposed to the oval ideal face shape that we have been trying to recreate of late.


Luckily for us Essence has our backs when taking us back to the 20's.
