Wah! I can't seem to edit my original post. :(

Here is my dream collection inspired by Marta Dahlig-Orłowska's "Seven Deadly Sins". Aren't these paintings amazing? I just adore them!

Well, my submission is a little bit different because most if not all of these colors exist or have previously existed on the SN website already, but I just thought it would be very fun/neat to have a collector's palette with this theme...

Vanity: I think Vanity needs to be a "vain" amethyst liquid gloss. [Maybe already exists as Screaming Violet?]
Somehow the idea of "Vanity" and purple lip gloss reminds me of celebrities and rock stars. :D

Image

Avarice: A bold, golden eyeliner - like Cleopatra and the way Egyptian pharaohs' eyes look in magazine articles, you know? [Ft. Knox, Envy?]

Image

Gluttony: A spring melon pink; when I think of gluttony, I think less about overeating and more about just the idea of sheer indulgence.
This could be an eyeshadow or eye-safe blush. [Reminds me of Madison?]

Image

Sloth: Something laid back and nature like; a super subtle, green or blue highlight. [Butterfly Blue, Pixie, Fairy Dust?]

Image

Envy: Deep, green eyeshadow/liner. [A cross between Emerald and Linger?]

Image

Lust: A lip-safe cream blush. I would love to see Karen's interpretation of this color! It's so pretty! :)

Image

Wrath: A sultry, almost "goth" reddish lipstick that screams "Looks. Can. Kill." [I think this color already exists as Black Dahlia?] ;)

Image

Edit: Just wanted to clarify this is Blackeri's artwork, not mine.

My collection is inspired by Hawaii. As a kid I would spend all my summers there with my grandparents.
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.

Image

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.

Oh how fun, and congrats to everyone's great ideas already!

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.
