com This column is coming to you from NYC where I’m, eh, working very hard at New York Fashion Week. While I’m overwhelmed with what I’m seeing on the runways, it’s what we’re wearing on our faces this fall, as they say State-side, that I want to highlight. Face crystals, pink make-up, soft metallic colours and a strong red lip are in this year, but I’m not really one for trends as I think good products are always in.
Take blush, which is going to be less “sun-kissed” this season and more natural and fresh. It’ll be worn higher on the cheek rather than being dabbed on the nose and all over the cheeks. Use the Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush , €42.

Sprinkle some body powder on to your sheets to counter the effects of hot flushes.

Baby powder will keep your sheets smelling fresh and your skin comfortably dry and silky while you sleep.
