Spring Essentials: Lancome Spring 2016 Collection

Spring is coming so as Chinese New Year. We are changing our wardrobe and makeup from dark earthy tones to more vibrant and pastel hues. Lancome introduced their Spring 2016 Collection with Love, this season we see neo-pastels with soft pop tones but with an ultra-contemporary twist. It’s a pop, retro-futuristic Paris, playing with innovative textures and zesty colour. What could be more uplifting than daring to shake up the codes, create new sensations and effects, go beyond appearances and reveal the unexpected?

This Spring 2016 collection has rosy hues and the delicate feminine touch from the packaging up to the product itself.

My Parisian Pastels Limited Edition, RM200

My Parisian Pastels Limited Edition, RM200

This is a bouquet of 9 sparkling pastel colour in iconic cubes nestle in a little metallic case that looks just like a childhood box of crayons. The 9 iridescent pastels that offer infinite combinations to delight every woman’s inner child. More than ever, make-up becomes playful: an adventure divested of rules, where freshness always prevails.

It’s the star product for Spring 2016, a marvelous cheek and eye palette all-in-one concept. The 9 shades of My Parisian Pastels can be used in a multitude of ways; alone for a localized touch of colour, mixed together for a healthy-glow halo or in duos or trios for graduated pastel effects.

The 9 shades are divided into 3 corrective shades, 3 blush tones and 3 illuminating pastels. Everything can be switched up. Whether applied directly to skin like a chalk or delicately blended with a brush, the compact iridescent powder texture adapts to every inspiration.

For face: Sweep a flat brush or kabuki across a horizontal row to take up a blend of corrective, healthy glow or illuminating colours.

For eyes: Pick up a cube and apply the colour directly to the lid, pressing down more or less firmly to create the desired intensity and shimmer effect.

Overall I feel that Lancome Spring 2016 Collection My Parisian Pastels cubes palette are suitable for those who loves sheer and sparkling pastel color. It gives a natural glow and iridescent finishing either on the face or eyes or can apply on body as natural glows at night. However, you have to be careful with colors cubes as it do not stick on to the casing so it might accidently fall off if you hold it vertically. My Parisian Blush is brilliant, it looks so natural and blend in so well with matte finishing.
