Give your face a touch of magic

Isn’t makeup one of the best things ever invented? I most certainly agree. The greatest thing about it is that it allows you to reinvent yourself. And not only does it conceal imperfections and enhance your features, it also reveals your beauty.

For this summer, Clarins introduces Touch of Magic. This new makeup collection plays with a crazy yet beautiful palette of vivacious colors – red, poppy, sweet pink, Indian violet, burnt orange, oriental blue and denim gray.

I just love the alternative-chic look, which is definitely in. So here are the products that will make your look truly unforgettable this season:
Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch
Clarins describes this oil-free product as the "perfect marriage between makeup and skincare." Because of the soft-focus pigment and line-filling micro-pearls, Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch erases fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores. The skin appears really smooth and even. Like magic, huh?
Perfect Makeup Start
Makeup bases are now becoming a must-have. The Perfect Makeup start will minimize imperfections while providing a transparent radiance to the complexion. Plus, there won’t be any build-up so skin feels really smooth.
Quick Glow Puff Powder
For a long-wearing matte finish, the Quick Glow Puff Powder will do the trick. This ultra-fine loose powder comes with a companion puff. It illuminates the face with a subtle bronze color. Dig the radiant and healthy-looking glow.
Soft Cream Eye Color
Forget the makeup brush; use your fingertips to apply the Soft Cream Eye Color. They come in fun, convenient tubes with lightweight and creamy texture. Your eyelids will surely have a radiant and satiny finish in sweet pink and burnt-orange shades. Plus, it is long lasting, too.
Eyeliner Pencils
Clarins’ velvety-chic Eyeliner Pencils with sponge tips are very versatile. They can be used as an eyeliner or eye shadow. So, it will be easy to transform your boring day look into a glammed-up party look. Choose between brown, plum or gray.
Wonder Volume Mascara
Instead of wearing fake lashes or having lash extensions, try the Wonder Volume Mascara. With the latest formula, the first brushstroke of this mascara will pump up the lashes with ultra volume. Again, it is long lasting and comes in a new shade of wonder blue.
Color Quench Lip Balm
If you get lazy to wear lipstick, then Clarins’ Color Quench lip balm would be a great alternative. This high-shine gloss combines a sheer color with a hint of fruity flavor. Lips will look not only extra kissable but also soft, supple and even sensual. Pick from three colors of Indian violet, rose and red poppy.

As Thibault Vabre, Clarins artistic director, would say, "Anything is possible and life is beautiful with Clarins."

Now it is your turn to give your face a touch of magic.
