Clarins go all Ladylike for Autumn/Winter

2 min read

Clarins want us to come over all ladylike for Autumn/Winter this year, with their new collection – Ladylike! Focus is on the eyes, and the feel is elegant with a strong, but soft, character. The big news in this collection is that they are bringing out their hugely successful 3-Dot Liner in a Limited Edition brown shade, which I expect will become a permanent item in time.

The award-winning 3-Dot Liner (£20) is so easy to use, and allows even eyeliner novices to create a liquid line. It is designed so that you can apply as thin or thick a line as you like, easily, by just dotting it on. It is also enriched with growth-stimulating ingredients that condition lashes when you weave the pen tool between them as you dot. A brown line is a great alternative to a black liquid line – it can appear younger, more of a fresh, rather than retro, way to use this eyeliner.

The other big eye product in this collection is the Ombre Matte Cream-to-Powder Eyeshadow (£19) which comes in six subtle shades, and is an innovative formula which offers the comfort and smoothing effect of a cream with the fine quality and hold of a powder. The shadows are silky and lightweight and easy to use. Bamboo powder gives them a matte finish. Shades range from Nude Beige and Nude Rose, to Sparkle Grey, with Taupe, Rosewood and Earth inbetween.

The Eye Quartet Mineral Palette (£32) in this collection is a ‘skin tones’ shade collection; the perfect harmony of natural shades for autumn. There’s a great Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base (£22) which smoothes, evens, brightens and gives radiance to eyelids, whilst helping shadow to stay in place.

Staying with the eyes, Clarins of course have their Perfect Eyes and Brows Palett (£35) which I spoke about in a separate blog post on brows earlier this week. This palette has three powders to shape and even out the brows, a holding wax to set them in place and a luminous beige-pink shadow to enhance the brow area. As well as a double applicator for wax and powders, an eye brow brush and mini tweezers.

Lips aren’t totally forgotten though – there are five new shade additions to the Rouge Eclat (£19.50) range. Rouge Eclat was the first age-defying lipstick from Clarins, protecting lips against dehydration and boosting collagen. The new shades are Candy Rose, Strawberry Sorbet, Red Fuchsia, Pink Magnolia and Chestnut Brown.

The new Ladylike Clarins autumn/winter collection is available from late August, from Clarins locations and clarins.co.uk
