Everything is Crystal CLEAR...........

I've had a very interesting past couple of days. I've been watching a lot of movies from the era of bombshells and vixens - those staring Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey and Katherine Hepburn, Ms. Monroe. I couldn't take my eyes off the 'Clear' palette that I kept seeing over and over. It seems like the Bright Winter and Spring palettes were the most popular choices in the 50's - those Retro-Reds are 'amazing' to say the least. And YES, it got me experimenting with the Clear palette's. I'm particularily excited about the bright winter palette! I decided to do a little retro-search of my own and find some pics from the time I played around with this season the most! I know that there are some people who read this blog and have voted for Bright Winter in the past - I hope that you enjoy the resurection of these looks! I'm also so very grateful for the people who have been writing encouraging me to continue my makeup experiments. Thanks so much to all of you who truly understand my love of creating these looks and getting to the essence of what it means to 'express' inner beauty using the medium of makeup! Here are my top favourite 'CLEAR AND BRIGHT' Looks:





It was actually quite fun going back and looking at all my older looks. I absolutely adore wearing red lipstick, so playing around with the bright winter palette for a little while is going to be fun. My Ruby Woo is coming out of the woodwork again :) Cheers to the golden age of movies where women wore red lipstick with confidence and passion!!! Elizabeth Taylor, this ones for you!!!

Hi Renata,
I've just spent the last half hour checking out your blog and really enjoyed it. There's so much information to be absorbed! I love how not only creative and artistic this blog is, but it's SO helpful for someone like me who barely thinks about skin tone and colour coordination��. So thank you for all of this very useful info. I've got some shopping and serious changing to do! You know your stuff. You are an inspiration!
Thanks again.

You look great in these colors yet I believe the soft summer Deep may be your best.... Still working through your blog backwards, lol. You certainly have a wealth of experience in the various pallets, can't wait to see what lies ahead.
