As the sun sets on Summer, a new palette of muted autumnal colours arrive from Topshop Make Up. Inspired by the high glamour of the early 70’s, when liquid slinky cocktail dresses were accompanied by perfectly polished beauty, this collection is dripping with sophistication.
THE CONCEPT
The coveted look of the 70’s has been condensed into this 11 piece collection, which encapsulates the very essence of lustrous beauty. Dewy sunkissed skin is complemented by sooty alluring eyes, framed by black velvet bambi lashes. Lips stay true to the 70’s trend with delicate shades of baby pink adopting a moisturising luxury finish. High gloss nails, in muted autumnal colours, make for fingertips that drape proudly over cocktail lounge chairs. Timeless elegance is created with ease, for an all in one look that lulls you into the world of 70’s glamour.
“After seeing the way Parisian girls apply their make-up, with such neatness and precision, I imagined the type of grown up products I would find in their handbag. Very much inspired by the glamour of the early 70’s, this collection emanates the decadent feel of the period, epitomising the idea of glossy polished beauty. Smoke & Mirrors rebels against the grunge glamour of trends past by concentrating on a more alluring, captivating look“
THE LOOK
As always, the Topshop limited edition trend collection sees an alternative unique design when it comes to the packaging. Smoke & Mirrors is encased in elegant, opulent packaging that lends itself to the grown up feel of the collection. The cutwork geometric patterns, reminiscent of 1970’s wallpaper, have all been meticulously hand drawn to retain the creative essence that is synonymous with the Topshop Make Up brand. Amber is used throughout the look to create an air of ostentatious ownership, a collection to treasure; this really is a statement ‘look’ for your handbag.
THE HIGHLIGHT
At the heart of the Smoke & Mirrors collection is Glow in Polished. Described as ‘liquid moonlight’, this product encompasses the luxurious heart of this collection. Owing to its high level of pearl, this highlighter gives an incomparable iridescent sheen to skin. Versatile enough to illuminate anywhere from the cheek bones to the cupids bow, this item is set to be the most cherished of the collection.
