"Artwear" fall 2005

Color Collection available AUGUST 1

Magnetic metals and shimmering shades accessorize lids and lips for a face that is high style!

Embracing "Middle Age" takes on a different meaning this Fall. Gothic-inspired clothing takes to the catwalk (think traditional tweeds mixed with medieval prints and accessories) and makeup follows suit. Merle Norman Cosmetics' Fall 2005 Color Collection "Artwear" is a runway-inspired collection with great wearability.

Affordable high-fashion lip and eye colors come in two new Artwear palettes. The faux-grain leather compacts are perfect for slipping in a designer handbag for beauty on the fly. Choose between the ready-to-wear classics in Chic Artwear or the sleek silhouette of ultra-feminine shades in Couture Artwear, both available August 1.
