The bronzed beauties choice
Clinique Brandied Bronze Collection
Clinique’s latest colour collection brings to mind relaxed cocktails on the beach and sexy summer style.
The collection features products for the entire face to give the skin a healthy looking glow and a pearlised touch. Eye colours are pearlised to bring out sparkling eyes, lip colours are super moisturising to beat the dryness of summer and eye liners are sugared for a flawless summer glow.
The look is effortless, playful andsubtly sexy and the products are a dream to apply.
