This Summer, it’s all
about ‘ Colour’ at The Body Shop
Striking neutrals. chic nudes. rich
browns. Fierce pinks. powerful purples. brilliant blues. gorgeous greens. We

milled them, then blended them with community fair trade oils to create
unrivalled brilliance and clarity. Raw colour, maximum impact. what’s your
colour crush?
Eye-Catching Colour
Our new Colour Crush collection is a

must-have stand-out shades. Beautifully wearable, the lust-worthy line-up
ranges from elegant beiges to shocking brights in a mix of pearly and matte
finishes. Incredibly blendable and buildable, these intense shades can be
applied wet or dry and worn alone, together or layered, creating a myriad of
looks from daytime chic to full-on night-time glamour. Go ahead and play with
colour!
Sleek Design
Our new clear, recyclable pack gives
a better view of the rich, impactful colour inside. We think it’s simply
beautiful. What’s more, spectacular colour is perfectly pursefriendly;
Each mono eyeshadow
costs Rs 695.
Crush, Crush Baby...
Our high-impact Colour Crush
eyeshadows are made with crushed pigments in Italy, the fashion colour capital
of the world. High-quality pigments are coated with a silky blend of Community
Fair Trade oils, creating optimal light reflection to bring out all their
brilliance and clarity. The super-smooth and silky, luminous colour glides on,
melting and fusing seamlessly with skin to reveal a vibrant intensity. Take
your eye-look to the next level.
We Love...
We’ve got a serious crush on our
vibrant shades, like the bold, pearly peacock hue of Something Blue 510 P, the
vivid pearlescent purple of Blueberry Night 405 P and the deep intensity of
Moonlight Kiss 015 M. Come find your favourite, for eyes that pop with
cutting-edge colour.
THE HEART INSIDE
Our Colour Crush Eyeshadows benefit
from a blend of Community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil, marula oil, honey, organic
virgin coconut oil and sesame oil. Our community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil
comes from the Candela co-op in Peru. The ‘castaneros’ or nut gatherers collect
the broken nuts that can’t be sold for food use and hand-crack them to extract
the oil. Trade has helped to protect 3,000 hectares of rainforest in the Madre
de Dios region. Sustainable harvesting also helps to support the indigenous
species that depend on the Brazil nut tree, such as the orchid bee.
100% CRUELTY-FREE
We’ve worked hard to ensure that our
Colour Crush collection features the most intensely vibrant, fashion-driven
shades whilst remaining vegetarian and 100% cruelty free, like all our
products.
Colour Crush does not contain any
bug shell extract to colour the product, any shimmer effect is made from
mineral mica and the binding agents are made from natural vegetable materials
instead of crushed shellfish. Because our love for animals includes bugs,
insects and other creepy crawlies.

Backstage Secrets
Lan Nguyen-Grealis, Head make-up artist for the Fashion Scout,
home of new talent and the largest independent event during London
Fashion Week, is loving the colour crush collection. She shares her
backstage secrets to getting spring/summer 2013’s intense eye-looks.
WHAT MAKEUP LOOKS ARE
HOT ON THE CATWALK THIS SEASON?
“This season, eye-looks are bold and
vibrant in pigment colour. Statement eyes are a must. The new range of Colour
Crush eye colours is great to use - the shadows glide on easily and last a long
time, which is ideal for show work. All the colours work really well for this
season’s trends.”
WHAT MAKES COLOUR
CRUSH SO EASY TO WORK WITH?
“The Colour Crush shades are simple
to apply directly on to the eye area, you can layer on as much as you please.
The colours look different depending on how much you apply, which is great to
get tonal graduation. From dark to light is easy to achieve without having to
blend too much.”
WHAT’S THE BEST THING
ABOUT COLOUR CRUSH?
“Every colour you see is exactly the
colour you get when you use it. The biggest surprise is how vibrant the colours
are and how some unusual tones can look amazing on the eyes, such as Chat-Up
Lime and Something Blue.”
WHAT ’S YOUR FAVOURITE
SHADE IN THE COLOUR CRUSH RANGE?
“My most favourite shades this
season, for versatility and for everyday use, are Moonlight Kiss and Caramel
Flirt.”
THE BRIGITTE SUPER
FLICK
Lan says: “The Brigitte Super Flick
was created for Ekaterina Kukhareva for her SS13 collection. “Goddess in St.
Tropez” was the theme, taking inspiration from the 60’s fashion icon Brigitte
Bardot. The mood is happy, care free, glamorous and sexy. Eyes headline the
look as bright colours take on a geometric shape with a super flick set against
a canvas of flawless skin.”
Step One
Using the Slanted brush, sweep the
new Colour Crush in shade 510 Something Blue along the lash line, starting at
the inner corner of the eyes and finishing with a flirty, 60’s flick past the
outer corners.
Step Two
Take the Eyeshadow brush, dampen it
for even more intense colour and apply more eyeshadow all over the eye-lids, up
to the crease of the eye.
Step Three
Highlight brows and open the eyes by
running the new Colour Crush in Shade 001 Sugar Gaze along the brow bone.
Step Four
Curl lashes and apply two coats of
The Body Shop Define & Lengthen Mascara in 01 Black, to the top lashes
only.
GET A FLAWLESS
COMPLEXION
To create a naturally flawless
complexion, apply Oil Free Balancing Liquid Foundation using the Foundation
brush and blend well for seamless, even coverage. Use the Radiant Highlighter
on the highest points of the face – forehead, temples and cheek bones, down the
centre of the nose, across the cupids bow of the lip and onto the chin –
blending well, to create a luminous finish. For a fresh, rosy glow, smile and
sweep All-in-One Cheek Colour in 04 Marshmallow onto the apple of the cheeks,
blending to a sheer wash of colour.
