Guerlain Belle de Nuit Holiday 2011 Makeup

Inspired by Guerlain's legendary Vol de Nuit perfume, their Belle de Nuit holiday 2011 makeup collection is an homage to bold, fearless women everywhere. Evoking the changing hues of the night sky, dramatic shades of deep blue and green dominate the color palette.

The Les Ombres de Nuit Ecrin 4 Couleurs palette is plain gorgeous. The colors aren't revelatory but the silky, iridescent texture and metallic finish create the perfect smoky eye for the winter season. I don't usually go for blue eyeshadow but this wearable shade makes an awesome, crease-free smoky lid. The result is elegant and refined - not too dark and punchy. For a lovely day look you can use the silver and seafoam green combo and pair it with a light pink lipstick or gloss.

The peacock feather pattern in the Parure de Nuit Pressed Powder & Blush is so opulent. The 2-in-1 highlighting face powder is composed of pale pink, white and blue green shades while the blush is the deep pink shade. The black lacquer case conceals a soft blue-green goat hair brush. Totally decadent, non?

Those jewel-like eye shadows are so beautiful during the holidays. They really make your eyes pop.
