Get personal
This month sees beauty getting personal, as makeup heavyweights Bobbi Brown launch their fabulous new service that really is the ultimate in personalised beauty. ‘No two women are alike, so their makeup shouldn't be either,' says Bobbi. We couldn't agree more, which is why we can't get enough of the new Custom Palettes - a truly bespoke service for makeup devotees. From this moment on, trained makeup magicians from Bobbi Brown will be on hand to assess your skin tone and guide you through your perfect palette of eyeshadow, blush and lip colour which, thanks to their newly squared-shape, you can then pop in your sleek, mirrored Bobbi Brown palette, and chop and change depending on your mood or plans. It's the future!

Apply this lightly shimmered powder to cheeks, nose, forehead and décolletage with the super cute fan brush and away you glow!
