Ready-to-wear eyeshadow shades on the eyelids, a flawless sweep of eyeliner along the lashes, a flattering colour on the lips… the products from the Autumn 2016 Collection are the perfect allies for quick, easy and spontaneous make-up.

Easy chic and effortless beauty that strikes just the right note…

With Guerlain, applying make-up is simple, allowing women to elegantly customise their look as the mood takes them. Their prime asset? Eyes that are always sparkling and full of personality, whether subtle or intense.

New, pure Guerlain must-haves that offer bespoke beauty for eyes

AN ENTIRE PALETTE TO MATCH EVERY MOOD PALETTE 5 COULEURS

This easy-to-use range of shades combines a base to illuminate and even, two nude tones to subtly enhance, and two smoky, more sophisticated shades that intensify the whole look. Applied separately or layered, the shades match to perfection. The result is invariably and unfailingly chic.

A FINE, UNPRECEDENTED TEXTURE, THAT BECOMES ONE WITH THE SKIN

Light Pigments technology offers ultra-fine light-reflecting pigments for brighter, more radiant colour. Boasting a host of different effects, the powder is matte, satiny or metallic depending on the shade. The finish is luminous, and eyes appear more lively and vibrant.

DIRECTIONS FOR À LA CARTE RESULTS

Each palette adapts to meet your wishes.

For a nude look:

Apply the illuminating base shade no. 1 to the eyelid, arch of the eyebrow and inner corner of the eye. Layer shade no. 2 over the eyelid. Blend in shade no. 3 as an accent in the outer corner.

For a sophisticated look:

Sweep the illuminating base shade no. 1 over the eyelid, arch of the eyebrow and inner corner of the eye. Layer shade no. 4 over the eyelid. Finally, apply shade no. 5 along the lashes at the outer corner and blend as an accent in the same corner.

THE LINER FOR A FLAWLESS LINE

L’ART DU TRAIT, PRECISION FELT EYELINER

Adopt this feminine essential to create captivating eyes.

An unmistakably modern classic, this original felt eyeliner allows you to outline your eyes in made-to-measure style, for a subtly highlighted or ultra-graphic and enlarged effect, as the mood takes you. Black, svelte and cleverly designed, the Felt Eyeliner is as elegant to pull from your bag as it is easy to handle.

HIGH-PRECISION APPLICATION GUARANTEED

Sonia Rykiel x Lancôme

THE COLLECTION

Parisiennes are fans of user-friendly make-up products, which are easy to apply with a customisable finish. Products which nonetheless offer an ultra-sophisticated finish. And which allow a quick makeover in the back of a taxi or on a cafe terrace… So Lancôme has collaborated with Sonia Rykiel to dream up on-the-go make-up products whose textures and design promise surprising simplicity of use.

LA PALETTE SAINT-GERMAIN

Lancôme has reinvented its eye palette in honour of Sonia Rykiel. Restyled in the colours of the collection, the brand’s most user-friendly and versatile maxi-palette has become the season’s must-have fashion accessory. In collaboration with Julie de Libran, Lisa Eldridge has come up with two harmonies inspired by the Saint-German-des-Prés style: trendy, chic, bold but extremely easy to wear. Rose and prune half-tones make up ‘Parisian Spirit’ while shaded bleu nuit, gris and kaki make up ‘Saint-Germain ‘. Each of these two palettes contains six matte or iridescent powder eyeshadows, a special eyelid base, two liners hidden under a silver clasp, and a double-ended expert applicator. Everything a woman needs to create endless customised looks.

PARISIAN LIPS – LE CRAYON

As beauty experts, Parisiennes know the latest trends by heart. Particularly the blurred lips effect seen in fashion shows, which we can recreate by blending the colour of a lipstick to achieve a blurred look.With this in mind, Lancôme and Sonia Rykiel have developed the dream lip product for Left Bank women: the Parisian Lips pencil. Definitely the best tool for achieving this effect quickly and easily. How is it unique? It combines two tips for two textures and finishes on the lips. On one side is a translucent balm for gentle colour with subtle shine.On the other is a hyper-pigmented matte and wonderfully creamy formula. How to use it: apply the balm texture to the whole of the lips to deepen their colour, then dab on the matte colour-intense formula to the middle of the lips. This is the blurred lips effect reinvented by Lancôme to achieve that just-been-kissed look. So Parisian! Lisa Eldridge, make-up creative director at Lancôme, and Julie de Libran, creative director at Sonia Rykiel, have come up with four funky and vibrant shades with packaging decorated with the two designs created for this collection.

French Sourire, a radiant pink which demands good spirits, and French Baiser, a radiantly sensual red, have adopted the stripe motif. Meanwhile, Parisian Audace, a deep and edgy

orange, and Parisian Spirit, a radiant, charismatic purple, are adorned with André’s motifs.

VERNIS IN LOVE

The iconic Lancôme nail varnish is available in four shades inspired by the multi-coloured stripes of the collection’s design. The colours are very sixties with really modern accents.They’re brilliantly updated vintage tones.

Café Blanc. As its name would indicate, this is a white as immaculate as the final page in a novel just completed on a cafe bench. It offers a surprising and quirky tone. The emphatically edgy final touch to the look.

Saint-Germain. A deep blue inspired by the raw denim adored by Parisiennes. It’s found on the favourite jeans they wear on every occasion, experts of a casual style that remains ultra-chic nonetheless.

Café Philo. An intense khaki resembling the colour of an old book we’re preparing to devour, as well as that of woodwork and the tables of a cosy philosophy bistro where we go to read, draw, talk and dream.

Joie de vivre. Freedom, cheer, spontaneity… This bright and funky poppy red is a beautiful celebration of the euphoric and carefree sixties.

THE CUSHIONS

Always in search of a more subtle and natural look, Parisiennes are now fans of Lancôme’s star foundation Miracle Cushion which evens out and brightens skin tone with a no-make-up effect.

CUSHION CASE

Sonia Rykiel and Lancôme have unveiled two cases to hold this must-have. Miracle Cushion, the travel-sized ultra-fresh liquid foundation can thus be slipped into collector cases decorated with the designs (multi-colour stripes and motifs by André) specially created for this collaboration.

CUSHION BLUSH SUBTIL

Whether it’s from a burst of laughter, strong emotion, an early-morning stroll on the banks of the Seine or a kiss that brings out the pink of the cheeks… Parisiennes often have that incomparable, soft and gentle romantic flush giving them a lovely glow. To coincide with this exclusive make-up collection Lancôme has revitalised two shades of its brand-new Cushion Blush Subtil with its ethereal texture and soft-touch applicator. Presented in Sonia Rykiel collectors’ cases, the soft Sorbet Rose and Splash Corail shades allow you to create a confusingly natural ultra-fresh flush like that of cool girls from the Left Bank.

«Now announcing the secrets to a radiant and flawless skin.»

Guerlain model

[espro-slider id=341]Summer is over and we all embrace Autumn with open arms. While most of us want to look glamorous after the long hot season in the UAE, the first thing that comes to our mind what are the latest make-up launches we need to look for. Although I am very adventurous with makeup and love playing with new products, I’m hesitant when it comes to skincare specially that I have a sensitive skin that gets irritated easily.

I have been using Guerlain for the past few years and for this season I have again chosen Guerlain the goldsmith of the complexion. In 2015, Guerlain is reinventing Parure Gold, its exquisite foundation with a precious rejuvenating radiance. Since its launch in 2009, Parure Gold has radically raised the bar in terms of radiant make-up results.Today, Parure Gold is taking radiance and rejuvenation even further with two major innovations. Parure Gold fluid (12 shades) and compact foundation (8 shades) both SPF 30, L’or skin primer.

So start your make-up routine by applying the following:

1- Start with the L’Or base, the ideal primer for reviving radiance, hydrating the skin and optimising the rejuvenating effects of Parure Gold Foundation.

2- Follow by Parure Gold fluid foundation- Apply a few drops of foundation to the centre of the face and blend outwards. Continue blending into the neck to avoid leaving a line. For the compact to be used as a foundation, apply with a sponge, blending in the same way from the wings of the nose to the outside of the face. To use as a pressed powder, apply with a brush all over the face for an even more velvety result. Perfect for touching up your make-up!

   I personaly use both. I apply the liquid foundation first and the compact on top. I like the result it gives. The skin looks radiant flawless, the pores disappear and it is light at the same time.

Get triple the POREfection from Benefit Cosmetics

benefit1

If you suffer from open pores and have been struggling to find a solution, here is a trick of how to get them covered.

Blend the POREfessional primer all over face to minimize the appearance of pores then target oily spots with license to blot. Sweep on agent zero shine powder for allover shine control!

1 The POREfessional primer to minimize the look of pores AED 155

The POREfessional primer quickly minimise the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin! Apply this silky, lightweight balm alone, under or over makeup. Translucent, oil-free formula complements all skintones and helps makeup stay put. Contains a Vitamin E derivative, known to protect skin from free radicals.

When you apply this to your skin it feels so nice. I find that it really does cover every single pore on my face, leaving me with a smooth complexion. It just blends into my skin tone perfectly. I absolutely love this product and will definitely by the value size as I feel it may not last as long as I would like in the 22ml and there is a big saving by buying the 44ml value size.

2 License to blot portable stick to blot oil “on the spot” AED 100

BLOT on the spot! This instant oil-blotting stick with tiny invisible blotting spheres mattifies shine for up to 6 hours after application.* The specially designed triangular tip targets shiny zones…the sides of your nose, forehead and chin. Oil has finally met its matte!

Loved the idea of extending the pore family and what better way than by giving us a blotting stick. It›s the answer to our prayers and definitely worth purchase. It blots really easily and reduces all oils and shine. I›m not particularly oily or dry but can be extremely combination. When I›m suffering from oily skin, this has been my saviour. A new favourite.

3 Agent zero shine powder for allover shine control AED 150

I use it as a finishing powder over foundation, and it gives me a very smooth matte finish with no shine throughout the whole day.
