As in "The only thing that will make this day any good is Cluck in a Bucket". It's probably a bad name for a product (and what would it be?? all I can think of is emu lip balm)- but it's making me giggle at the moment.

Hereby unveiling the JKR collection, inspired by one of the most amazing women there is (and of course, her mind-blowing masterpiece):

Eye Shadow
Hedwig - What can I say, this is basically Snow In A Jar. A white shimmery e/s that goes on very very sheer. Great for highlighting the brow bone and tear duct.

Hermy-ninny - I love the way Viktor pronounces her name! Fellow fans would expect that this e/s is an earthy colour, and it is. This is a medium brownish-taupe that has a pearl sheen, just like Hermione's hair!

Harry - A light blue-green e/s with shimmery pearl sheen, shimmery without being too shimmery. I am thinking of a shade that would make people go "Her e/s is blue... no wait, it's green... no it's blue.. heck I don't know what colour it is but it's pretty!" I know according to canon his eyes are green, but in the movie, Dan's eyes are not green. So let's be
flexible!

Severus - A coal-black shade with reddish gold shimmers, great for a smokey eye, or for lining.

Glow
Albus - A light dusting of this fine shimmery wine-coloured powder will give your face a radiant, sun-kissed healthy look.

Blush
Ronnie - A bright peachy coral blush that has a little bit of a sheen to it, not too much... something that isn't too pigmented, just for a light natural flush.

Lippies
Ginny - a coral sheen with silvery shimmer .. just a very slight hint of colour, like when you chew on your lower lip and it goes a shade deeper.

Delacour: A pretty light frosty pink, with a little bit of blue interference for that kissable pout.

I've used up all my brain juices and can't think of anything else, so this will do

I'll call my collection "no muss no fuss" based on these criterias

- since it's summer I don't wear a lot of makeup and want it to be easy and fast
- in the summer you travel so you want to keep items to a minimum so products with severeal used are ideal.

Blush: Summer Glow, a soft pinkish nude color, much like "maybe baby" just a step deeper in color and with a delicate golden sheen. This will add a deliciously soft pop of color to your cheeks with a sprinkle of divine glow. You could also use this color for a pretty neutral wash of color on you eye lids.

Eye Shadow: Caramel Kiss, a subtle caramel brown color with just a touch of bronzy gold. This will multifunction as a lovely bronzer, natural contour color or faboulus crease color for softly defined eyes.

Finishing powder: Powdered Perfection, like perfecting powder with a touch more oil control for those warm summer days but with the same lovely soft matte focus effect and tinted to a very subtle slightly cool toned nude. This will not only keep the olies at bay but also give you a hint of color on days were founation seems too much and neutralize any redness wheather it be normal, sun induced or an orange toned self tanner.

lip gloss: Sultry Sorbet, a semi sheer precious apricot pink with a touch of papaya red devoid of shimmer but with high shine will make your lips look deliciously juicy and wonderfully soft.

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.

I would start with a simple nude colored base that doesn't look like much to start with, but I would add a ton of rainbow colored sparkles for her wild side! The could be an eye shadow or a fun highlight for the cheekbones.

Yes! That sounds amazing!
