[COLOR=6666FF]Yes. The ombre face powders (do we think these are just face powders or powder blushes? Maybe both?) and lipstick ombres? I am very excited to find out about the color story and the promo photos. Eyeliner ombres. I'm just going ombre crazy now.[/COLOR]

Well it says ombre face powders, not ombre blushes. So, they wouldn't be the ombre blushes.

Im having trouble understanding the concept of ombre face powder....Excuse my ignorance but what do you guys usually refer to when you say face powder? is it just a general term for anything powder? (blotting powder, pressed powder, bronzing powder, sculpting powder)

Definitely a pressed powder or finishing powder, something used over the entire face, hence a face powder.

Aren't the Pearlmatte powders called Pearlmatte Face Powders? And they're more of a blush/highlighter, I don't think they're supposed to be used all over. So IMO ''face powder'' could also be something that's meant to be used on the cheeks. Either way, I'm excited and will probably buy them.

I get where you're going with this!

There could be more to this collection anyways, they only listed a few items.

Well, from looking at Proenza Schouler's usual runway face look, the skin is always nice but natural and the cheeks are just barely tinted, so an ombre that transitions from all-over color or highlight to a gentle contour color or nude blush makes the most sense.

If this is coming in April, it won't be the huge spring collection. Doesn't that one usually come at the beginning of Feb.?

I didn't realize this was coming out in April for the US. The big spring collection has indeed come out in Feb in the US in the past. Maybe this will be like Liberty of London then (in terms of collaboration and size of the collection and not colours)? Whatever it is I'm excited!

I am so glad to hear about this. I really like Proenza Schouler. First, reading the link I thought maybe this wouldn't be brown girl friendly, but the more I read, the more hope I got from it. Really excited to see the color story.

Ohhh, you do have a point there.
