Andy Warhol was a major contributor to the POP ART movement of the 60's. Pop art images were of popular subjects of the times ie soup cans!
As an artist, I am very familiar with Warhol, so you can imagine I was very excited to learn Nars was introducing a limited edition Andy Warhol collection.
This particular palette is the Debbie Harry Palette. Debbie Harry was the lead singer in the very popular New Wave or Punk Rock band of the 80's known as BLONDIE!
This is an exclusive SEPHORA palette selling for 65 US dollars. There are 4 eye shadows, one blush and a highlight. All the shades in this palette are extremely glittery but from what i have read on the sephora website there is a reason for that and i quote "Reinterpreting the glamour and grit of Debbie Harry’s downtown scene, this audacious palette of shimmering shadows and blushes was created exclusively for Sephora. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s use of Diamond Dust, this sultry spectrum sparkles with shimmer and micronized diamond powder."
I have to admit the quality of these shades are not the best...

THE SWATCHES
EYE SHADOW COLORS: white shimmer, sparkling turquoise, twinkling purple, starry black |
BLUSH COLORS: brilliant cream, shimmering pink champagne. |
Aw shame that the quality is not that great, because everything else looks fab! What a pretty collaboration. Just seems kinda strange they put so much effort into packaging, but skimp out on the actual product!
ReplyDeleteI know i agree i dont understand it either and these are not cheap. But i think for this particular palette since they were going for the 80's glittery look i dont know of any glittery shadows that are good quality.
