THIS WEEK’S BEST BEAUTY BUYS
YOU CAN FIX-IT
GIVENCHY Mister Perfect (£20, 01932 233 824) is a new make-up remover pen that corrects make-up mishaps around the eyes or lips.
There are four interchangeable rounded tips, so you can use two for eyes and two for lips. Contains make-up remover with fig extract and coconut derivative, making it perfect to use to remove mascara smudges on sensitive skin around the eyes.
Less expensive fix-its include Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-up Corrector Pen (£4.99, Boots) with Pro-vitamin B5, which is alcohol, oil and perfume-free, and removes smudges speedily.
LIGHT FANTASTIC
MAKE-UP kits are a handy alternative to buying individual products and save carrying a full make-up bag around. Benefit’s latest launch, Cabana Glama (£28.50) is great for spring, with a small version of Hoola bronzing powder, Some Kind-a Gorgeous foundation, an eyeshadow palette and Posietint, a tinted lip and cheek stain.
Yves Saint Laurent Vinyl Candy Palette (£39) is a four-shade eye palette with everything you need for vibrant spring looks. With shades of raspberry, lilac, blackcurrant and rose, use it to create pretty pastel eyes for day, or striking smoky eyes for evening.
BRIGHTEN UP
IT’S ALREADY a staple on many beauty editors’ bathroom shelves, and now Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (£38.50, 0800 591 818) is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
The rice-based enzyme powder is one of the gentlest, yet most effective, daily exfoliators we’ve found, making dull skin look and feel instantly cleaner and brighter. But it is so gentle and non-abrasive that it can be used daily without the risk of over-exfoliating.
The powder formula activates when in contact with water, creating a soothing, brightening complex that helps to balance uneven skin tone and pigmentation.
