BEAUTY | Topshop Makeup A/W 11 Collection: Smoke and Mirrors

'Get set to channel the high glamour of the 1970's'

Topshop's A/W 11 Collection is here! Titled 'Smoke and Mirrors' It's clearly embracing the colder, darker side of autumn and winter, with Smokey browns and greys, and kohl rimmed eyes, this collection epitomises everything there is traditional about winter make up.

Two key parts of this make up collection are strangely missing of parts of either the promo's or the main selection are the nail varnishes - one in baby pink (prim and proper) and the other in a dark brown (bourbon) and also both lipsticks in a neutral pink, and darker brown, which can be seen in the larger picture above.

Just from these four pieces, you can see it's going for a very neutral theme, and polished look this autumn and winter, especially with the duo bronzer, so you can still keep some of that summer glow, but with a healthy, English rose flush. (Not forgetting the glow from the shimmery highlighter).

2 other highlights of this collection are the duo liners, one kohl and one lip liner, both in standard traditional shades of dark eyes and nude lips, and the other a four eye shadow quad with two mattes, black and a highlighting shimmery shade. Packaging is in a very reminisce of Bobbi Brown's Tortoiseshell collection recently with its polished brown look.

Overall, this collection looks fab if you want to venture into Smokey eye, new to make up, or want to stock up on some old favourites, but not so great if you’re looking for a different take on A/W.
