You have never, or hardly ever, used make-up products.
You're concerned about your appearance, but never quite know how to make the most of your
natural beauty. You don't dare experiment too much because you're frightened the result
might not be exactly what you had in mind! We think you'll be interested by what we've got
to say...
Let us guide you towards your first, real make-up successes. As Fred
Farrugia once said: "make-up should be a game, it should be fun".
Experiment, start over, but above all, enjoy yourself!

make-up.

Don't let a few imperfections here and there get you down! Even the super models get them
sometimes - they just know how to hide them!
Under eyes circles? Blemishes? skin discoloration? Broken capillaries?
No problem if you use Palette Pro. It
comes in a small, attractive compact, with a mirror included (useful for little
touch-ups), there's an answer to every problem. However, be careful not to apply the
product too heavily. It's always better to hold back and be subtle, for a perfect and
natural result.
Shiny skin?
First be sure that you're using the right moisturizer. If you're happy with your
moisturizer but your T-zone still tends to shine a little, try T-Contrôle.
We'll guarantee you a shine-free complexion.
Make-up success is within easy reach; good luck!
When you see products that are underlined and which interest you, click on them! You'll be
given detailed information and some advice on how best to apply the product
1 First of all,
foundation
To really smooth and mattify your skin, choose a powder. If you want to really light up
your complexion and make it glow, try Poudre Majeur
translucent Transparente with its brush applicator. If you prefer the more natural,
healthy look, then go for Poudre Bronzée.
You'll have the perfect complexion!
2 For your eyes
only...
Your eyes are the windows to your soul. Bringing out the best in them is simple. Try Tendrecils
mascara, specially formulated to be kind to your eyes. Look carefully at how to apply it
then, without rushing into it, try it yourself.
3 Lips to die for
Your lips should be full and shiny, like luscious, ripe cherries.
Start by drawing the contour with Stylo à Lèvres.
If you think your lips are too thin, here's a little trick: trace a line around the
outside of your lips. For a dazzling but natural effect, apply Le
Lipstique (Coco or Marilyn), the new generation, in professional lip-color.
And there you are, all made up. No-one will notice the
make-up, but everybody will suddenly wonder why it is that you're looking so good. That's
the magic of make-up with natural, 'built-in' success !
Tonight, you're going to be the most attractive woman
out.
You've decided to really go for a total transformation; a weird and wonderful look like
you might see around the nightclubs. Have fun and relish the transformation, because above
all, make-up should be something to enjoy.
1 First of all,
foundation
For the evening, choose, Eau de Teint , the
oil-free "no make-up", for a translucent, demi-matte finish.
For a mat velvety look, choose Poudre Majeur
transluscent.
2 For your eyes
only...
In the evening, your look is your most important asset.
Trace a line of Art Liner on the
upper eyelid, right at the base of the lashes. It's a little difficult but the result you
get will be worth the effort.
Choose your mascara carefully, Intencils (if you
want more volume), Définicils (if
you want more length).
Light up your eyes with a touch of Ombre Subtile eye
shadow, mono Etoile (gold colored) or Lune (silver).
3 Lips to die for
Your lips should be the object of everyone's desires !
Begin by outlining your lips with Le Lipstique. If
you think your lips are too thin, here's a little trick: trace a line around the outside
of your lips. Lip-color should make you feel like a movie star, so why not try Rouge Idole, with
its non-transfer formula, to make yourself look and feel divine. There's a whole range of
other contemporary "couture" colors to give you a real cutting-edge look.
4 The final touch
Add a flash of color to your hair, with gold or violet Lumi Hair mascara. No-one will be
able to pass you by without stopping to take a look!
A final check in the mirror...and Cinderella shall go to the
ball!
If you find that you quite like this sort of metamorphosis, try Lancôme's range of Chrysalide
make-up, Fred Farrugia's Spring-Summer look (available at Nordstorm). This is but the
beginning of your voyage of make-up discovery!
