Neutrogena Essential Eye Palette x Kerry Washington & Essential Cheek Palette have been revealed and are now available at Ulta.com. As you may already know Kerry Washington has been Neutrogena’s brand ambassador and face but this is the first time she has released a collection in collaboration with the brand.
Come to think about it I don’t think any of Neutrogena’s brand ambassadors have ever had their own collection so this is a first. At the moment the makeup world is finally realizing that foundation and concealer shades are not one size fits all and many, many brands have taken the initiative to expend their color selections. I was thinking since Neutrogena doesn’t exactly have a selection of shades to suit woman of color that maybe Kerry’s Collection would be geared towards a tan or darker skin tone. Sadly, this doesn’t appear the case.
I’m not expert on darker skin tones but the Neutrogena Essential Cheek Palette x Kerry Washington ($9.99) appears more suitable for a lighter skin tone. If you look quick enough it seems to have the exact same shades that have appeared in the It Cosmetics Radiance Palette or even the It Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Complexion Perfection Palette (both seen below). I wouldn’t call a paler pink an ideal shade for darker skin tone.

But we have to wait and see what this palette looks like up close and personal as promo images are sometimes grossly inaccurate.
