Shameless Indulgence

SIMPLY looking at the new Sisley L’Orchidee Corail compact could make you believe spring is just around the corner — despite the freezing temperatures.

This highlighter blush (€61.90, ie.carethy.net) seems almost too pretty to use, with a delicate orchid embedded into the palette, the petals providing different shades to sculpt your face and bring warmth to your complexion — just what we need to lift dull, winter-worn skin.

Micronised pigments in coral pink, apricot orange and rosy peach give the colours instant impact, while pearlescent particles bring brightness, with golden sparkles for a glow.

The powder also helps to smooth skin, softening it with white lily extract.
