Dior nude skincare
By Beauty Editor Katie CorcoranHere at the handbag.com towers we are going red carpet crazy. We\'ve just seen the stars at the Golden Globes and we\'ve got the BAFTAs and the mighty Oscars still to come. Designer gowns, diamonds, killer shoes, luscious locks and of course flawless skin - these celebs have it all. So read on to discover our favourite award worthy celebrity loving products that are hitting our shelves this week...
Flawless skin - celebrity style
Not only did every celebrity sport flawless skin at the recent Golden Globes, but there wasn\'t a model without it on the spring/summer catwalk. Thankfully Dior has come to the rescue with their new Nude Collection consisting of two fantastic foundations. Perfect for spring with its easy blend, lightweight formula is the Natural Glow Hydrating Make-up Fluid which contains a whopping 40% water to keep skin fresh and hydrated.
If you are a fan of mineral make-up (these days, who isn\'t?) or you are thinking of investing in a lightweight, powder foundation that is water and mineral rich then the new Natural Glow Fresh Powder Make-up will fill that make-up bag void.
Step into spring in style...
Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Make-up, £26.50 and Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Fresh Powder Make-up £26.50. Nationwide
