Limited edition for Winter 2014, Lancôme’s Parisian Lights collection is inspired by ‘the beauty of Paris at night and the atmosphere of its glamourous culture’.
There are five new products in the range; an iridescent powder, an eye shadow palette and three nail polishes. Poudre De Lumiere (£35) has an ultra-soft texture and fine gold formula, designed to impart a soft glow and shimmering radiance to any complexion. The brand’s make-up artist, Shehla Shaikh, recommends dusting over cheeks or mixing with a BB or CC cream for a longer lasting finish.
Parisian Lights Hypnose Palette (£37) allows users to create a shimmery smokey eye with five new, exclusive shades inspired by ‘the opulent gold and the precious jewels of Place Vendôme’. Shaikh suggests applying the gold shade with a wet brush for added intensity.
There are three new shades of Vernis In Love nail polish in the collection (£13 each): 137 Rouge Caberet, dark red; 560 Or Vendôme, white gold; and 550 Illuminations, a gold textured, matte finish polish. The shades can be worn alone or in duos. For a twist on a classic manicure, Shaikh advises finely stroking Illumination down the centre of each nail.
Parisian Lights will be on counter and online from 29 October.
