Three Custom Color Specialists: The Seychelles Collection

Said to have inspired the story of the Garden of Eden, The Seychelles are islands of utmost allure and legendary beauty. Each of the Shades in this collection, which includes an eye shadow, lip stick and lip gloss, celebrate the natural beauty and vibrant colors of some of the rarest species of flora on earth. 

Coco De Mer Eye Shadow ($22.50) – A rich, medium brown with a playful dose of green shimmer for added dimension, inspired by the round, suggestively-shaped nut that can be found only in the prehistoric Vallee De Mai forest of the Seychelles. Use wet as a subtle liner or dry to create a sultry smokiness around the eye.

Frangipani Sheer Lipstick ($21.50) – Vivid fuchsia with gold sparkle that can be worn soft or bold. The award-winning sheer lipstick formula delivers buildable coverage and rich moisture in a smooth, balm-like texture.

Peacock Flower Lip Gloss ($21.50) – A pinky, peach shade with light-catching violet opalescence, inspired by the rare and dazzling Peacock Flower. Our moist and creamy lip gloss formulation is a makeup artist favorite – smooth and shiny, but never sticky.

The entire Seychelles Collection is also available for purchase in a value set for $50 at threecustom.com
