In vibrant hues of pink and baby blue that glitter against matte nudes to create a feminine, gorgeous look. Bold lip liners outline burnt bronze shimmering lipsticks that sparkle with seduction. Release your inner cowgirl!” – Isamaya Ffrench
The collection includes Wild Star Pressed Pigment Palette (£85) a prairie-glam, rhinestone-studded eyeshadow palette featuring 12 glistening shades of sorbet-coloured sunsets and rodeo nights.
