12 Mar Makeup Review, Before/After Photos, Swatches: Sephora Pantone 2013 Emerald Green Color Of The Year Collection
OMGreen! Emerald Green, that is!
As soon as Pantone announced in December that the Color of the Year for 2013 was PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald, I knew the palettes would be wonderful for spring! I loved Tangerine Tango, and now love seeing the palettes that Sephora + Pantone Universe created together.
“Green is the most abundant hue in nature — the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum. Emerald, a perfectly balanced green, is a mix of warm and cool, which makes it so versatile and flattering to many skin tones,” noted Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.
“Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world.” Sephora Pro Lead Artist and friend Gilbert Soliz added, “What I love about this year’s Color of the Year Collection is that it’s electrifying and modern. Emerald evokes power and possibility, which are two things women should feel when they wear makeup.”
This capsule includes:
The Color of the Year Collection ($68.00) which has 1 Color Grid Eye Shadow Block in Bionic, 1 Color Code Prismatic Shadow, 1 Color Cube Lid Liner Stain, 1 Lightspeed Glitter Dust, 1 Graphic Sculpt Waterproof Jumbo Eyeliner and 1 Color Watt Highlighting Mascara.
Colorbyte Lip Wands ($24.00) offer four unique lipgloss shades with different textures and finishes leaving lips with a smooth and comfortable shine. Colors include (all pictured) Touch of Emerald, Crocus, Georgia Peach and Cameo Brown.
Bionic
Elemental
Eclipsed
Color Theory Shadow Block ($26.00 each; pictured) in Bionic, featuring Emerald, White Alyssum and Crown; Eclipsed, featuring Emerald Glitter, Amberlight and Olivine and Elemental, featuring Emerald Shimmer, Appleblossom and Camel.
Color Code Prismatic Shadow Block ($22.00) is a water resistant, highly pigmented cream formula for the eyes that applies easily and is long-wearing.
Color Cube Lid Stain ($16.00) is a 3-in-1 mousse cream that could be used as a liner, shadow or lid stain.
Lightspeed Glitter Dust ($14.00) is a pot of pure Emerald loose glitter to give you a subtle shimmer, or layer for a dramatic and powerful pop of color.
Graphic Sculpt Waterproof Jumbo Eyeliner ($17.00) features a long-wearing, easy glide-on formula with a luminous shimmer finish.
Graphic Lift Liquid Eyeliner ($17.00) features a flock-tipped applicator and long-lasting formula in a metallic shimmer.
Graphic Etch Waterproof Eyeliner ($17.00) features a retractable pencil with a water-proof, easy glide-on formula in a soft Emerald pigment finish.
Glitter Strobe Eyeliner Set ($18.00) features a 4-piece Emerald eyeliner set featuring finishes in glitter, iridescent, metallic and matte.
Color Watt Highlighting Mascara ($18.00) is a richly pigmented Emerald mascara with a matte finish. Wear it alone for full-color expression or on tips for a flash of color (I often just do the tips that are seen when looking head-on).
Color Theory Sculpting Blush ($24.00) is a blush duo to compliment any Emerald color accents featuring Dusty Pink and Pink Mist.
Color Charged Graphic Lacquer ($10.00) is the richest pigment of Emerald with a high-gloss finish for both hands and/or feet.
