The collection consists of an eyeshadow duo, two shades of lipstick (or pigmented kisser slicker gloss), two shades of blush, a cream eye liner, and an exfoliating scrub.
E,F Eyeshadow duo: Sea Turtle. the darker shade is like a frosty version of Moss but with a little touch of blue to make it slightly teal. It has a silvery blue sheen, like the moonlight hitting the wet back of a big turtle. The lighter shade is like a buttery yellow with a little taupe/beige in it to tone it down, with golden yellow shimmer. This is for the underside of sea turtles. The darker color could be called Loggerhead and the lighter color could be called Shell Belly.
A,C Lipsticks: Mango is a bright orange. No coral here! Just straight-up shiny warm orange. Not overly yellow or red and wearable at full blast for the brave, but sheers out to a nice "mango" colored stain with a couple blots. Hibiscus is a bright hot pink but with not too much blue to make it unwearable for the warm toned girl. You can wear it full blast or sheer it down, like the full spectrum of beautiful hibiscus flowers.
B, D Blushes: Guava is a coolish mauve nude blush, that almost disappears but in the best way. This would be a great blush to pair with a super bright lipstick, because it gives you enough color but doesn't try to compete. Lychee is a nude berry pink blush, nude in the same way as Guava, made to pair with the brightest lippie you own.
G cream eye liner: Pacific Ocean (pending name) is a bright sapphire blue, perfect for a little lower lash line drama or as a base to a deep blue eye look. There's no navy in this color.
Not pictured, I also want there to be an exfoliating scrub. One of my favorite things about running around the beach is how all your dead skin just gets scrubbed off. I was thinking a scrub like the microdermabrasion gel but with a coconut and banana scent to remind you of the islands.
The color swatches are how I imagine the colors and I'll re-do the drawing with the models. Right now it feels way too cartoony to me and the jpeg compression killed the blush on both of them, but I think it gets my point across.
I'll update this post with a better illustration.
These books are a wealth of ideas.
