TRANSCRIPT
2015’s BEAUTY GAME-CHANGERS
THE MULTITASKING
FIX-ALLShiseido Ibuki Multi Solution Gel (£30)
A comforting gel that soothes redness,
reduces breakouts and calms everything from spots and dry
patches to paper cuts.
3THE EYE BRIGHTENERCrème de la Mer
The Illuminating Eye Gel (£100)
This brightens and smooths on contact, thanks to mineralised
algae and antioxidants.
2
THE DARK-SPOT DIMINISHER
Sisley Intensive Dark Spot Corrector (£92)
Sisley has made pigmentation easy to treat with this
rollerball. Apply twice daily to areas of concern to fix
discolouration, with ingredients including barbary fig blossom
and salicylic acid.
11
THE SKIN-STRENGTHENERLa Prairie Cellular
Swiss Ice Crystal Emulsion (£213)
Pricey, but a tiny squirt will strengthen the
skin’s barrier function while plumping and
refracting light. Genius.
1
THE SENSITIVE- SKIN SPF
Bioderma Photoderm Mineral SPF 50+ Spray (£13.50)
Perfect for skin that reacts to chemical filters, this vitamin E-loaded spray is lightweight, too.
THE PICK-ME-UP HAND CREAM
This Works Energy Bank Hand
Makeover (£25) This seriously hydrates, and the uplifting scent
is also designed to increase alertness and
boost energy. Yay.
THE HAIR TAMERAveda Smooth
Infusion Smoothing Masque (£25)There are many
products that promise bigger hair, but few address the issue of
too much volume and weight. Aveda’s Smooth Infusion mask does this by deeply conditioning,
sealing in moisture and eliminating frizz.
THE MIRACLE SUPPLEMENTS
Ioma Collagen Renew – Encapsulated Anti-Wrinkle
Treatment (£89)Reduce wrinkle depth by 25 per cent and improve skin tone by up to 75 per
cent? Yes, please.

THE GLOW-BOOSTER
Bliss Fabulous Makeup Melt (£24) Just rub this gel-to-oil
cleanser into dry skin until the gel has transformed into an oil, then rinse off to reveal a nourished, clean complexion.
THE SPOT BUSTER
La Roche-Posay Serozinc (£8.50)
This purifying spray is a brilliant way to treat
blemish-prone skin – just spritz on after cleansing, wait for a
minute to let the active zinc sulphate get to
work, and then apply skincare as usual.

THE GROUNDBREAKING
PALETTE Hourglass
Modernist Eyeshadow Palette (£56)
Hourglass’s latest launch fuses five richly pigmented matte and
shimmer shades into one palette for easy blending. The long-wear formula
is available in seven colour combinations.
16
THE EASY FACE SCULPTOR
Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour (£19)
Clinique has cottoned on to the fact that we all want a bit of Kate
Moss bone structure. This makes cheeks
look more angular in two swipes — into the
hollows of your cheeks — followed by a little
blending with fingers.
6THE SKIN CHANGER
Environ Intensive Revival Masque (£49.95)
If you thought a face mask couldn’t change
your skin, you need to get your hands on
this. Packed with vitamin A and powerful
active ingredients to smooth, hydrate and regenerate, use this overnight, twice a
week for four months for maximum results.
7
THE CUSTOMISABLE
LIPSTICK Burberry Kisses
Lipstick (£23) Available in 28 colours
ranging from nude to deepest red via hot
pink, these lipsticks combine pigment with polymers to provide
anything from a subtle juicy tint to a full whammy of rich,
glossy colour.
8THE SKINCARE FOUNDATIONElizabeth Arden Flawless Finish
Perfectly Satin 24H Makeup SPF15 (£29) This new base delivers the perfect satin finish. The sebum-controlling
plankton extract mattifies slightly, fine
lines are blurred and skin is kept calm and hydrated thanks to bamboo silk and vitamin E. Great for
long days at the office.
9THE POWER
INFUSION Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv
Ultimate Diamond Sculpting/Refinishing Dual Infusion (£255)For a skin overhaul, put
this on your wish list. Use one pump from the gold
vial (full of nourishing Black Diamond Truffle),
along with the same from the platinum vial (a blend of smoothing skin refinishers), nightly for a week to reboot skin. An investment, but it works.
10
THE INVIGORATING
FACE MASKCharlotte Tilbury
Goddess-Skin Clay Mask (£45)
The skin-invigorating ingredients absorb oil, soften and soothe for
baby-soft skin.
17THE PORE
MINIMISERBobbi Brown Skin
Smoothing Pore Perfector (£26)
As well as giving a soft-focus effect, this
reduces pore size long term due to silica
powders that disguise imperfections and kelp extracts that diminish sebum
production.
THE NOURISHING SELF TAN
St. Tropez Self Tan Luxe Facial Oil (£23)
Combining essential oils with 100 per cent natural DHA (the ingredient that
provides the ‘tan’), this soaks in like a serum,
leaving skin luminous.
THE MOISTURISING
BASEbareMinerals
Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel
Cream (£26)bareMinerals has upped the tinted moisturiser game
with this. It gives skin a massive hydration
boost while providing natural coverage.
