Estee Lauder Topaz Makeup Collection for Spring 2012 by Tom Pecheux – Information, Photos & Prices

Hello everyone!

My inspiration behind the collection was vacationing in Arizona, enjoying the warm sun, the amazing desert colors and the shadows that play on the sand and rocks. I was thinking of a gorgeously healthy-looking woman that had an element of fantasy in her personality. I wanted to convey that with a palette of strong yet soft colors.  – Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder

Estée Lauder introduces a bold, yet subtle new color collection for Spring 2012, inspired by the warm, sunbleached tones of the desert. Pure Color Topaz, a limited edition makeup collection features a mosaic of sublime bronze, taupe and sand dune shades punctuated by an irreverent twist of citron yellow and an intense pop of teal, evoking the naturally smoky look and romantic glow of a desert sunset. Conceived by Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux, pieces of the Topaz collection debuted at the Derek Lam Spring 2012 show where Pecheux complimented the clean minimalist fashion with a dreamy, warm look of shimmering eyes highlighted in yellow, lightly bronzed contoured cheeks and a sheer golden lip that captured the mood of the season.

Now, I’m sure some of you already bought one or two products from this collection and I sure would love to hear your opinion about them. I really like the nail polish color but I’ve seen nail swatches on other blogs and the color is pretty much the same with one of my Kinetics nail polishes, so I decided not to buy it.
