55 Color-Popping Cosmetics

Vibrant Makeup, From Technicolor Lips to Rainbow Eyeshadow

— August 31, 2009 — Fashion
Fall's fashion palette may be dull and drab, but the vibrant makeup in the slideshow below ensures your face attracts immediate attention. From Technicolor lips to rainbow eyeshadow, with the right tools, it's easy to cop these vibrant cosmetics looks.

Check out the cluster below for these and more vibrant makeup collections.

Implications - Credit-crunched consumers are increasingly fighting the doldrums of the recession by using makeup to express their personal style. Unlike designer fashion, cosmetics are relatively budget-friendly, and give fashionistas the same degree of personalization and whimsy in everyday outfits. Color-popping makeup garners attention and inspires whimsy and nostalgia -- qualities that appeal to modern consumers of both genders.
