Just in time for the summer, Merle Norman Cosmetics launches a collection inspired by the beauty of nature — uniting coastal blues and forest hues for eyes with candied coral, melon and pink for lips. The 2012 Summer Color Collection includes two limited-edition eye shadow quads offering matte to luminous shades; a cheekcolor; two lipsticks; an all in one, dual-ended lip liner and lip color in one and an irresistible lip gloss.

Limited Edition Eyecolor Quads

• Nautical & Nice palette: features a semi matte, silvery pale yellow (Barefoot) that works great as a highlighter; a matte light brown (Truffle) to use as a contour shade and pair with a luminous, rich peacock shade (Look Both Waves) for just the right pop or wash of color
• Wooded Bliss palette: offers earthy shades that can be mixed and matched for gorgeous eyes. It features a luminous peach shade (Shorely) for brightness; offset with a luminous olive that complements every skin tone (Play Thyme) and a matte dark brown (Espresso) that gives a smoldering effect

This season, cheeks take on a natural-looking glow achieved with Lasting Cheekcolor in Peach to the Choir. The soft peach shade offers subtle warmth to the cheeks in a fade-resistant formula perfect for the sizzle of summer. Lips get feminine and flirty with an assortment of shades that beautifully complement nautical blues and rich browns on the eyes and offer subtle or strong color: Creamy Lipcolor in Lady Marmalade, a gorgeous peachy coral; Lip Glaze in Pink-A-Boo!, a mauve pink and Lip Pencil Plus in A Flare to Remember, a punchy persimmon. Lip Polish in Pinkini completes the collection as a soft pink with subtle shimmer that offers instant shine.

The Summer 2012 Color Collection is available starting May 1 for a limited time only.
