DIAMOND DIVA

Ready to pull out your finest jewels? Instead of competing with jaw-dropping gems, enhance the sparkle with iridescent finishes on eyes and lips. Choose ultra-sheer, light-reflecting formulas to keep the look sophisticated.

GRAPE EXPECTATIONS

Feminine pieces like these amethyst drop earrings go well with soft, romantic makeup. Pair a shimmering gray smoky eye with flushed cheeks and a satin-textured rose lipstick.

BLACK BEAUTY

Dramatic earrings deserve special makeup attention. To complement your multi-faceted chandelier sparklers, treat your peepers to a glimmering onyx smoky eye. For an eye-catching contrast, add a pop of copper shadow to the center of your lid.

ROCK CANDY

Color-shy? Get out of your comfort zone and go bold with brights—on your wrist and your lids! Play up a vibrant bangle bracelet with a vivid accent shadow on the inner corners of the eye. Remember, you can experiment with other hues, too!

CORAL CLASH

Bright color doesn't just belong near your lashes. This brilliant coral cocktail ring is the perfect color inspiration for rich, matte red lips and fingertips. Keep the rest of your look fresh-faced and neutral for a chic statement.
