Color . . . Racy, Ravishing, Rich

Welcome to the world beyond neutral where eyes and lips luxuriate in a wealth of magnificent tones. For eyes . . . a refined, well-bred simplicity reigns with saturated shades in sheer and polished finishes. Leading the trend are five new Sheer Matte Shadows - the "fur coat feeling" of Tobacco Sheer and Raisin Sheer . . . the old-money greens Pine Sheer and Mineral Sheer and the intense Indigo Sheer all have a look that says "you've arrived." Prefer shadows with a little shimmer? Sheer Satin Shadow's Pink Princess and Plush Plum are park Avenue posh. French Pearl's Million $$ Mauve and Sky High, a beautiful blue, give uptown attitude. For polished definition, Powderliner Pencil in Inky Violet looks so now, smudged both above and below the lids. For lips . . . pungent color mixes with intense shine in the new LiquiColor collection. Eight sumptious shades with a rich-is-better luster, from the discreet Iced Latte and Mauve Melt to the bold beauties, like Crimson Glaze, Bittersweet - a decadent chocolate - and Sienna Shine - they are essential to the season as diamonds and pearls. Reds rule this season in every kind of texture. If you like creamy lips, choose Decadent and Lavish Luxury Lipsticks, or Micro-Bubble's Micro Scarlet. Frost Lipstick's Berry, Berry Rich is a rosy red. For a transparent touch, try Smitten LipShine and Lush Lip Gloss. Subtler ways to get rich are Entice Luxury Lipstick, a warm cognac - - - and the new Cream Lipstick Heirloom Rose.
