GLOW YOUR OWN WAY

If you want to inject some graphic colour into your make-up bag this summer, go directly to Mecca Cosmetica for the limited edition Lancôme Chroma Collection by Proenza Schouler. The fashion house’s designer duo, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, have created a tightly edited range of “strong, graphic, ultra-pigmented” eyeshadows and lipsticks in packaging that will get all the right comments.

Try: The Cushion Highlighter, $55, for instant iridescent skin.

HIGH DRAMA

If you want to make an impact this season, Chanel’s sheeny, opulent new Maximalisme de Chanel collection delivers. Imprinted with the House lion, found in the Chanel archives, the gunmetal-green eyeshadow will create a chic update on the smoky eye, and we love the shimmering face powder for a sexy glint on cheekbones. 

Try: Maximalisme de Chanel Le Lion de Chanel Illuminating Powder, $93; Ombre Première Poudre Eyeshadow in Vert Lamé, $55.

GREAT LENGTHS

Want to add another few centimetres to your locks? The new Kérastase Resistance range promises up to four centimetres in 90 days if you follow its routine. First, go in-salon for the hair-strengthening treatment, $50, then follow up with the Resistance Extentioniste shampoo and conditioner at home. The secret weapon to maximum growth? The leave-in serum, which boasts ceramide and creatine to protect the scalp and prevent split ends.   

Try: Kérastase Resistance Sérum Extentioniste, $75.

MOROCCANOIL TURNS 10!

Can’t remember a time before Moroccanoil? You’re not alone. This brand has boosted our locks (and limbs) since it launched a decade ago. To celebrate, it has released a limited edition duo pack that includes the original hair treatment and a dry body oil. Dosed with argan, olive and avocado oils, this body oil infuses skin with essential fatty acids and antioxidants to leave it gleaming. 

Try: Moroccanoil 10th Anniversary Set – original Moroccanoil Treatment and Moroccanoil Body Dry Body Oil, $69.95

Try: 111Skin Harley St London Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask, $36 (1); Knesko Skin Nanogold Repair Natural Collagen Eye Mask, $23 (2).
