Once only a symbol of wealth among upper East-siders (and rich folk alike), the pearl has always been recognised as a sign of utter sophistication and class.
However, it’s about time they learnt to share (gosh, rich people think they own everything!) – so let me start things off by divulging my tips on how to sport this season’s hottest beauty lust-have – pearl.
Perfection on the eyes, just a slick of pearlescent cream shadow can take tired, sunken lids straight back to show-stoppingly sassy without drifting too far from your beloved nudes. Try it: MAC Paint in Base Light (a fresh golden yellow with gold pearl).
Feeling as though your signature packed-full-of-punch red lip is a little OTT for your killer new dress? Try NIVEA Lip Care Pearl & Shine on for size – the shimmery hue adds a touch of colour with maximum gleam.
Next, leave basic blush and bronzer by the wayside and make sure your cheeks are camera ready with Bourjois Delice de Poudre. The mother-of-pearl powder immediately accentuates the highest point of your cheekbones and catches the flash of the camera; literally making you look as luminescent and glimmery as a shining star.
