Touch of bamboo

As part of their autumn colour collection, Clarins have released six of these eye colour palettes. They’re infused with bamboo powder and vitamin E, for wear of up to 12 hours, and the compact features a brush and mirror. Our favourite set is Flame, with rich reddish tones, though Brown Sugar or Fairytale are slightly more subtle versions for day, and Jade or Midnight are for evenings out ( we’re sure we’ll have one of those again someday).
