Clarins Summer makeup
The Clarins summer collection has been inspired by India and its beautiful vibrant colours and traditional patterns. Every year India celebrates the festival of colour with enchanting vibrant pigments used as symbols; red for joy and love, orange for optimism, green for harmony and blue for vitality.
Clarins have applied that to their summer makeup, mixing vibrant colour with sun-kissed tones. The hero product of the collection is the Limited Edition Colour Quarter and Liner Palette (£30). Beautifully etched inside and out, this is a lovely collection of four satin smooth mineral eye shades, champagne beige, bronze, gold and violet with a golden brown eyeliner. The palette and shadows are etched with motifs inspired by traditional sari prints.
Another nod to India is the Kohl Kajal Ling-Lasting Eyeliner (£15) which comes in black or violet. It’s a revamp of traditional Indian kohl, and is really lovely, soft and creamy, with rose and mimosa offering softenig and soothing benefits. Works brilliantly inside the eye.
The collection also includes the hugely popular Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm in four shades (£16.50) and a Bronzing Duo SPF15 Mineral Powder Compact (£26) which comes in three shades, and finally, the Colour Quench Lip Balm (£15) in two new shades – pink Jaipur and nude Delhi.
