Christmas Gift Guide: Gifts for Beauty Lovers

Chantecaille Luminescent Eye Shades, £48

Luminescent Eye Shades are pearlescent, light-catching eyeshadows that wash the eye with multi- dimensional shimmer. These two new hues were created to pay tribute to—and to benefit—two endangered African species: the Grey Crowned Crane and the Zebra. With these additions to the Vanishing Species collection, Chantecaille will support the important work of two more wildlife conservation nonprofits working to protect African animals from extinction. This gel-powder formula is embossed with a leaf pattern and infused with sophisticated pure-pearl particles to create a wash of colour with a dash of dazzle on the eyelid. Talc-free and utterly blendable, the shades have an emollient, smooth application and set with a featherweight cream-like finish
that never falls or creases. Looks created with Luminescent Eye Shades are dynamic and dimensional, but feel weightless and soft. Wear alone as a sheer, sparkling eye treatment or layered over a base shadow for a more dimensional, dramatic look.
