As soon as I saw this collection, I was so excited! For those of you who know me well, you know that I am also an art journalist (artismyoxygen.com) so this collection had my head spinning with delight.

Dr. Hauschka is launching a new limited-edition Spring color collection on April 1st. The gorgeous “Purple Light” collection features artwork designed by Emma Lindstrom that was inspired by the cosmos and night sky.

As a lover of life and energy, Emma was the ideal partner for Dr. Hauschka’s first product collaboration – every product in the line is created through rhythmic manufacturing and support the skin’s renewal process.

To express this mutual connection, Emma evoked the cosmos and nature to create a series of paintings in purple and blue colorways, which were channeled onto the products’ outer packaging, tubes and cases to display a stunning fade of black and constellation-like piece of art.

This limited-edition collection includes a “Purple Light” foundation compact to unify and mattify skin, as well as a “Purple Light” eyeshadow palette with beige, nude and plum shades with shimmery or matte finishes.
