Technicolour Cheeks

© Yves Saint Laurent

A collection inspired by Stefano Pilati’s Cruise Spring-Summer 2006 show, which saw bright make-up take centre stage.  Four pure, hard shades can be lifted by a graphic pale wash to be worn alone or over the colours.  A comfortable powder texture, which is moisturising and long-lasting into the bargain. Palette Horizon Yves Saint Laurent Sun.  Try shading from dark to light, midnight blue to golden beige from eyelash to eyebrow for an elegant use of colour.  Not to be worn with a bold outfit, you don’t want face and body to clash… Best with a light tunic or top with similar tones.  If you’re wearing oranges or yellows, try ringing the eye with blue or gold.
