Clarins Nature Temptations - Spring Make-up 2009

Be daring in daylight. This is what the new make-up collection is all about. Make-up that breaks with traditional ideas of a “natural” daytime look, to shout its colours and inventiveness loud and strong. Photographed among the wild plants of the riverbank, Svetlana is the icon of this look; an aquatic femme fatale symbolizing the woman of today who dares to emphasize her beauty with troubling ease. And as contrast is the spice of life, making beauty irresistible, this collection is resolutely turned towards contrasts. A bright, fresh complexion evokes the purity and innocence of morning. Lips glow with the soft, tender shine of dew. The aquatic eyes, adorned in a striking range of blues, this season’s hot colours, are those of a temptress who looks you straight in the eye…”

The aquatic spring shades of the Clarins Nature Temptations Collection give a boost to the idea of breaking with tradition when it comes to day makeup (move over sheer!) This makeup is much more intense, vibrant and strong in its colours.

Of course, in order to adapt this make-up look to everyday life and make it more accessible…follow Thibault Vabre (TV), Clarins Make-Up Artistic Director (Paris) and Patrice Boudreau (PB), Clarins Canada National  Make-up artist for a step-by-step make-up application... all in temptations!
 

1. Complexion

TV : It’s the translucent backdrop that enhances the intensity of eye make-up. Instant Light Complexion Perfector 02 Champagne shimmer acts like a light-catcher.

PB : Start with a radiant complexion. Mix the Embellisseur Teint reflet champagne with your usual tint. This foundation will brighten up your skin’s natural glow.

Clarins “3D Radiance” specialist pigment and Auto-Focus Complex combine their effects to give the face incredible luminosity while optically concealing imperfections.

 

2. The Eyes

To go “truly blue”

TV : Eye Pencil 09 Ultramarine is used here as kohl to set the eye like a precious stone.

PB : Use the Crayon to line the upper lids with a thick stroke. Use your finger and quickly blend the line towards the outer corner of each eye, softening and widening the effect.

PB : Apply the light colour of your choice from the Palette Yeux Nature Temptations to the entire surface of the upper lid. This will have for effect to reduce harsh marking when applying the darker colours.

As a second step, pick up a small amount of the turquoise colour from your palette to powder and further diffuse the pencil’s effect… Turquoise will please the eye of both warm and cool tone fans.

TV : All around the eye, apply the turquoise shade from the Eye Colour Palette then blended purple and pink at the outer corner.

PB : For the daring and light eyed ladies, follow with the Wonder Bleu #6 mascara. For a more conservative approach, black mascara will tone down the intense look of the turquoise shadows, making it easier to wear.

In its newsleek silver case, this lash-volumizing expert gives incredibly beautiful, incredibly thick lashes from morning to night.

7. The Blush

8. The Lips

TV : Lip Pencil 03 Nude discreetly shapes the lip contour. By combining the shine of a gloss with the precise application and lasting hold of a classic lipstick, JoliRouge Brillant 08 Pink sugar guarantees luminous, stay-true shine.

PB : Of course, with the arrival of the new Jolie Rouge Brillant, creating a plumped and glossy pout that last and lasts will be child’s play, all thanks to their brilliance activator and the maxi-lip complex. As an additional option, raise your lips’ shine factor to the max by adding the all-new Instant Gloss to your Jolie Rouge Brillant and discover it’s simply magical effects…!!!

Did you know that Instant Gloss is the first gloss which reacts on contact with the lips to create their own unique colour? Totally transparent, it colours lips with a unique nuance… unique to each person who wears it. How does it work? The sensitive pigments react with the skin’s pH level. In contact with the skin, it changes into a subtle shade of pink which instantly enhances the lips’ natural colour. The result is a colour unique to every wearer.

Be this spring’s seductress!
