WINTER PLAY COLLECTION

● Toboggan Time!: This muddy pink mauve is a cream that leans more towards brown. It’s a stunning, warm neutral that adds a sense of style to any look.
● Snowshoe for Two: The perfect festive red. What makes this colour special is tiny pieces of pink and gold shimmer that subtly flash throughout, making Snowshoe for Two the perfect companion to your sparkly holiday celebration.
● Pucks & Penalties: This shade has a deep, plum raisin background with flashes of pink and purple sparkles. This bold, rich plum is dark and dramatic to complete your sophisticated look.
“Winter isn’t all about parties and celebration; it’s also about getting outside and having some good old-fashioned playtime. We did exactly that while creating Winter Play, and we couldn’t be happier with these shades that can be worn from the ski slopes to the fanciest holiday festivity with ease. These shades were inspired by the beauty of competition, the willingness to try something new or simply doing something that is fun and exhilarating—just like these colours!
From warm memories of a surreal snowy walk to the thrill of plunging down the slopes on a toboggan, Winter Play has a shade that will inspire your next Winter adventure.” - Lexy McLellan, Light Elegance Colour Trendsetter
