Preview: Graphic Grace by Catrice + First Impressions

Once again, Catrice are releasing a gorgeous, timeless collection. Coming out in February 2016, the Graphic Grace collection is bound to steal your heart. A lovely selection of neutrals, with fun pops of color will brighten up the winter days.

I was lucky enough to get to try a few of the items early. A gorgeous blush and eyeshadow palette both have simple, but practical clear packaging.

QUATTRO EYESHADOW C 01 Linea Lines

Without the pop of fuchsia, the palette might seem like just another neutral palette (not that I have anything against those, it's just that there are already copious amount of them in my collection), but with the addition of a bright color, the palette comes to life in a whole other way.

 All of the shades are beautifully formulated, soft and easily blendable. With minimal fallout and decent staying power, they are a great everyday option. The fuchsia is quite intimidating, but at the same time makes me think about all the different ways that I could incorporate it into the make look. 

POWDER BLUSH C01 Structured Shapes

 A graphic pattern of the blush combines a vivid pair of fuchsia and orange, that might look scary in the pan but transfers to a beautiful healthy flush of color on the cheeks. The texture is soft and buttery and blends seamlessly on the cheeks. I love this type of blushes for the winter time as they give the face that natural look.

Looking at the other pieces, my heart skips a bit at the promise of a matte bright lip, especially with the darkest lipstick in the collection. Also, I find it very exciting that Catrice are expanding their brow products and following the examples of highly praised brand, I would love to give the brow pencil a go.

What about you, got your eyes on any of the pieces?
