Beauty charts
Beauty & health director Rose Beer reports on her picks of the week…
1. KISS AND TELL
Givenchy and I agree that summer lips are best served plump, rouge – and wrapped in chic minty green. Yep, Le Rouge Givenchy Lipstick in Coral Gypsophila, £28, is ideal. Just add a fluoro bikini and a boarding pass… debenhams. com
4. 40 WINKS
Our eyes make an exhausting 10,000 micro-movements a day, the equivalent of a five mile walk. It’s a stress that contributes to visible ageing, so fight it hard with Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix, £49. esteelauder. co. uk
2. STRONG DEFENCES
Our skin is the barrier between us and the world, so keeping it healthy is key. Vichy’s Minéral 89 Fortifying and Plumping Daily Booster, £25, improves resilience with hyaluronic acid and wholesome 89% mineralising water. lookfantastic.com
5. DIY TIPS
Le Mini Macaron Gel Manicure Kit in Sweet Mint, £34.99 – inspired by the sugary treat – is super-cute, but I initially doubted the efficacy of something so small and, well, green. I was wrong. Expect glossy, punchy pigments and at least seven days’ wear. leminimacaron.com
3. EAU YEAH!
Calvin Klein Obsessed, from £50, has lavender, sage and neroli notes, uses 1993 shots of Kate Moss taken by her then boyfriend Mario Sorrenti as its campaign, and celebrates the memory of someone else on your skin. HOT or what? johnlewis. com
6. STATEMENT EYES
Find yourself mixing and matching mascaras to achieve the perfect flutter? Try MAC Bold Bad Black Mascara, £19.50. Its clever dual-chamber packaging contains a separate brush and formula for top and bottom lashes so you can get 360° perfection. mac cosmetics.co.uk
