AW09/10: Clarins Nude Inspirations

I shudder to think of the search keywords that'll lead people to this post - Nude Inspirations, to be fair, could be any number of mind-boggling things.

It's also the name of Clarins' forthcoming AW09/10 collection, a pretty, subtle collection of products that eh, I don't have prices for. Sorry ladies! I'll add them ASAP.

Above we can see the strongly browed model shot (more about which after the cut) and one of the stars of the show, the limited edition double-decker Face and Blush Duo Compact. It looks good enough to eat, says I.

Want a dekko at the rest of the range? It's after the cut.

This sleekly styled brow kit is a first for Clarins. It joins the permanent collection, and contains the very extended following (all words in bullets, Clarins own!):

• Three eyebrow shades (black, brown and blonde) to shape and unify brows. Apply a single shade or combine to achieve the desired colour. The Clarins Plus: the black and brown shades can also be used to line the eye contour or on eyelids.
• A beige-pink eyeshadow to illuminate eyes and highlight a beautiful eyebrow line.
• The slanted brush of the double applicator is perfect for applying the eyebrow shades. The foam tip is used to apply the beige-pink eyeshadow. Mini tweezers for perfect, precise results.
• An eyebrow brush for:
  • applying the wax,
  • grooming eyebrows and evening make-up.
• A wax to set eyebrows all day long. Use alone or after eyebrow make-up.
• A large mirror for easy application.

Sassily sitting on tip there is a new concealer stick, in four shades: 01 – Light beige, 02 – Soft beige, 03 – Medium beige and 04 – Deep beige.

What else do they have for you, then?
