Not to put you in a bad mood by saying that summer is over – it certainly isn’t – but we want to take you ahead to autumn for a moment. Because the new season is bringing with it some pretty fantastic things on the beauty front; and we’ve not been this excited since cult Frenchie Embryolisse hit Net-a-Porter. Weird as it might seem, most of the autumn/winter make-up collections are available to buy now, this very minute, because they hit those lucky old beauty counters in the last week or so.  And although the thought of the looming colder seasons isn’t so pleasing (or is it if new Céline cashmere can finally be worn?), the idea of new and innovative make-up is. Big time.

In the interest of nostalgia, let’s appreciate all things summer. Lightweight BB creams, weightless lipsticks and peachy, cream blushers. They’ve been more than good to us. But actually, there’s a lot of excitement to be had in perusing the new collections. Never-before-seen colours like the new season red lipstick from Guerlain, a high-tech CC cream formula by Origins that will have your skin glowing and things you didn’t even realise your beauty stash was lacking, until now.
