Clarins Christmas collection is a suitably dramatic and sumptuous affair - combining striking, smokey eyes with deep berry lips.
The products come in elegant and luxurious packaging - combining weighty gold with black scroll motifs - making them ideal stocking fillers.
The gorgeous face palette combines two shades of peach and pink to illuminate the complexion - it's subtle and very pretty on.
To enhance the face and décolleté is the Shimmering Gold Powder which are golden pearl nuggets to illuminate the skin. The product also comes with a black puff to lightly apply the shimmering powder.
There is a new Eye Colour Trio which contains baked bronze, gold and black shadows - perfect for creating both day and night time smokey eyes.
For lips there is a new shade for the Rouge Prodige range - Barocco - a sublime deep red housed in a gorgeous gold tube.
The Barocco Shimmer Gold Face Palette stands out as an excellent gift for make-up lovers - containing four shimmery eyeshadows, a pink/peach blush, a mini Wonder Perfect mascara and a mini lipgloss.
The Clarins Christmas collection is available in department stores only.
