As winter draws ever closer we're all trying to cling to our dewy, summer complexions before that sallow pallor starts to take hold, right?

Well at Ermanni Scervino this morning I found a solution.

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle, £22 -a golden powder- was used to add a fabulous sheen to cheekbones, bridge of the nose, Cupid's bow and chin. Don't wait for spring, this suits-all skintones powder is a must for make-up bags now.

Check back later - I'll be putting the knotted ponytail on trial...
