Dotty Mixtures

RMK’s Spring 08 collection, ‘Shiny Mix Dots’ is innovative, quirky and extraordinarily clever. Using a scramble of three dots of colour for each Shiny Mix Eye Shade, £18 and Shiny Mix Cheeks, £16, the result on skin is a sheer, irridescent wash that’s bang on trend for going into spring. There’s some blurb in the press release about being inspired by art movement, Pointillism, but for those of us whose art knowledge runs no further than an Athena poster, there’s really no need to have an understanding of Seurat to appreciate these texturally individual pieces. Less keen on the marbled lipsticks – Shiny Mix Lips, £16, formulated by melting a shimmering pigment and smooth lipcolour into one stick, but loving the Nail Colours, £12, with a splash of latest ingredient – holographic pearl – for an outstanding reflective appearance.
