Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent's "Mondrian Collection" created in 1965, YSL’s new Ombres Quadrilumeres collection provides everything you need for a deep impact. Each palette is composed of four shades: a soft pearly shade to illuminate, two deep tones to structure and line, and one to boost and intensify the look.
