The secrets to soft beauty

Since spring is in the air, it is time to renew your make-up palette. Re-think pink and mauve; opt for pastel shades to enhance your eyes, lips and cheeks. Guerlain shows the way with great textures and colours of the season

STEP 1

Idea is... to have superb skin, like the one top models flaunt on the glossy pages of fashion magazines - it's within any girl's reach. It is all a simple question of opting for the perfect skincare regime which will suit your skin best.

So you use... Pure Dew Cleansing Foam Gel. (Michelle has a normal-to-combination skin). This water-based cleanser guarantees deep skin cleansing without causing any dryness.

Used morning and/or night, it clarifies and soothes the skin while eliminating grime and make-up. Wonderfully refreshed and clean, your face feels healthy, radiant, definitely soft.

Next, Purifying Iris Toner comes in handy. This astringent toner, with its low alcohol content, purifies and balances the skin, leaving it with a matte finish.

Hydramythic Stick is applied next, all over the face except on the T-zone. This high-power moisture-provider melts into the skin which is replenished and is visibly more glowing.

Now, the T-zone is treated with Issimat T-Zone Matifying Secret. Oil-free and ultra lightweight, this powdery fluid mattifies shiny areas while tightening the pores. Plus, the bonus is that it can be dabbed over make-up during the day for touch-ups at your convenience.
