Deep Infinity - Dr Hauschka's latest Limited Edition Makeup

Twice a year, Dr Hauschka produce some little treasures for green-minded makeup lovers. This one is called Deep Infinity and draws inspirations from the colours and tones of the oceans and the sky. 

Picture the endlessly rolling waves of the Aegean sea, its fathomless, infinite, azure depths topped with evanescent, cerulean foam. Above it, a setting sun tints the sky rose, and you'll have some idea of this colour scheme.


This latest collection marks a dramatic departure from the usual offerings in several ways. The gorgeous model, for a start, has non-Caucasian skin. 

It's well overdue for cosmetics firms to use ALL skin shades, so this is a great start. Beauty is skin-deep, whatever colour your skin is. In fact, the shades look even better on a darker skin tone. Perfect for summer.


And the products?

Turquoise mascara, anyone? Has that even been

Doesn't it look great against
my copper foot-bath?

done before? We already have Blue Defining Mascara, and Plum Volume mascara, both of which are stunning in their own way, but turquoise! So exciting. 

I think it works best as a flash of colour at the very tips of the lashes. I tried it with Brown Volume mascara and just caught the ends of the lashes with the turquoise and it looked really pretty. 

Seems to work for all colour eyes too, as it's nice with blue eyes, and also flatters brown ones. Green eyes just look great with anything, of course. 

Of course, it looks really gorgeous with the eye shadow palette; well, it would, wouldn't it? It was designed to do so, and look how pretty those shades are! 

Love that slanted applicator!

Rose, slate grey, turquoise and midnight blue. There's even a subtle, shimmery glitter to three of them, like sunlight glistening on the waves.
The deep midnight blue looks particularly nice when used over the Blue Eye Definer around the lash line, when the lashes are tipped with the turquoise mascara for maximum contrast. 

With all that emphasis on the eyes, a subtler lip is called for. The Rosewood shade of the new Lip Crayon is just the ticket. 

Yes - a crayon! It's ideal for busy women who haven't got time for lip liner: you just use the tip to outline, then fill in with the broader side. This gives a subtle, matte, natural look - like one's own lips, but fuller and naturally enhanced. If you prefer a less subtle look, just add some lip gloss - I used the Lip Gloss 05 in Carnelian, which tones really well with the Rosewood. 

Dr H Illuminating fluid
for shimmering highlights

On days when you have a little more time, perhaps

you might like to try the new Illuminating Fluid? This versatile product can be used alone as a highlighter on cheek bones and under the eyebrows, or mixed with foundation for a translucent shimmering finish.  

Have I whetted your appetite? 

Are you brave enough for a turquoise mascara?
