Missha Fall/Winter 2013 Belle Epoque makeup collection

Missha has just released their Fall/Winter 2013 makeup collection, called Belle Epoque. I have searched it on Wikipedia and "belle epoque" is French for beautiful era. It is the name for the time period in France, in which there was peace and prosperity, right before the World War I. During that time, cabaret and the cancan dance were highly popular. The famous nightclub Moulin Rouge was also from that time.

BoA is the model in the promotional pictures for the Missha F/W 2013 Belle Epoque collection with two different makeup looks: "Fatal Aura" and "Mysterious aura". From the pictures, you can see clear influences of France and cabaret.





These are the makeup products that were used for the two makeup looks.

Fatal Aura: the Missha Crystal Nail Polish - Blood red sand (nail polish with sand texture), the Missha Signature Velvet Art Shadow eyeshadow palette - no. 16 Indigo, the Missha Signature Glam-Art rouge lipstick - SRD704, and the Missha Signature Glam-Art gloss - SRD04.
Mysterious Aura: Missha Crystal Nail Polish - Nude sand (nail polish with sand texture), the Missha Signature Velvet Art Shadow eyeshadow palette - no. 17 Cranberry, the Missha Signature Glam-Art rouge lipstick -SPK108, and the Missha Signature Glam-Art gloss - SCR05.

The makeup of the Missha Belle Epoque 2013 collection are all additions to existing product lines, but they have a very special burgundy, metallic packaging, which differentiates them from the previously released products. I like how they have created two makeup sets that give you an idea on how to incorporate the trend color, burgundy red, in your makeup look. The Fatal Aura makeup look has the emphasis on the bold, burgundy red lips and the eyes are kept simple with a dark green, almost black eyeshadow and also some yellow/gold accents. The Mysterious Aura on the other hand, has the emphasis on the eyes with strong purple and orange tones and for the lips, a pink, almost nude color.

I really want to get all the makeup products with burgundy red/purple in them (especially the eyeshadow palette). ^_^
