Forget make-up, just wear a pair of glasses: Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm's Violetta

Forget make-up, just wear a pair of glasses: Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm's Violetta
Bernhard Willhelm and Mykita have created the Violetta using lens colouring to great effect. The frame at the front above features fine gold rims and teardrop-oval lenses, which have a subtle green glow in the upper half that turn to a rosé colour above the cheekbones.

In the second version, made of light stainless steel, the blue-to-cognac colour scheme is complemented by a matt-silver frame.

It's not the first time Mykita has had a brush with cosmetics - remember last year's nail varnish colab?

Mykita says 
the upper colour acts like a green or blue eye shadow, while the lower section emphasises the cheeks as rouge would.

Looks good to me!

  2. They're great aren't they!? Just googled it and I think you may be able to track a pair down online. Otherwise try Mykita's Shopfinder page.
