YSL colour research

I decided  to research further the colours and colour themes of YSL to help inspire the colours for my looks and make sure they fitted with the currant colour trends for YSL Beauty. I went to a YSL beauty counter and tried to take a range of swatches the stand had of both lipsticks and eyeshaddows. 
I found that their lipsticks (right photo) were mainly pinks, corals and purples and predominantly mid to darker tones. They was a mixture of shine, shimmer and more matte finishes.
The eyeshaddows were again both shimmer and matte and colours included lots of golds, pinks, greys and blacks.


They are known for both bold colours as well as many smokey eye looks so I think it has definitely been valuable looking at the actual colours they sell/use so that I can further build upon my knowledge of what they're about.
