On Monday I met with MAC’s Director of Make-up Artistry Terry Barber who gave me a sneak preview of the brand’s SS10 trend round-up (incidentally, Terry is the man behind some of my favourite trend-isms; describing the crop of toffee-washed eyes last season as ‘tea-bag eyes’ was a personal favourite).

Once he had finished giving me the low down (it’s going to be an exciting season FYI) he pulled out a present, a sample of one of MAC’s forthcoming products, the Cremeblend Blush in Joie-De-Vivre. A beautiful but bright coral colour, I was hesitant about whether it would suit my olive complexion (I usually go for a more blue-toned cherry blush) but Terry assured me it would be really flattering and make my skin look as though it was ‘glowing from within’.

Well, he was right. I’ve been wearing it ever since and I have never had so many compliments on my complexion. The colour sort of sinks into the skin leaving just the lightest hint of a soft flushed stain that really perks me up. What’s more, I haven’t had to re-touch it because the colour lasts all day. Put it on your wish list now.
