This issue in review: Violet, plum, grape and orchid richly combine for the pleasure of purple.

In previous issues a gorgeous array of colours were introduced to our readers, encouraging them to explore and experience. In this issue we feature the rich and regal shade of purple. The colour of the deep night sky and the early dawn, purple can range from delicate lilac to deep aubergine; it really does suit all skin tones.

We showcase 6 breath-taking makeovers with a stunning end result. The reason we work with ‘ordinary’ women, rather than professional models, is to show that these ideas are fabulously achievable.

We also share some excellent products from Clarins in our beauty feature “Sparkle and Shine”, which also highlights our top 10 tips and beauty must-have’s.

We value the time you spend with us online. May you find inspiration in this issue and shine like a star!
