What's new in "colour", hmm? Well, they invented purple. Oh no, sorry – that was a while ago. Blue got blue-er? Nope. No, nothing's really changed, but what's new is the way these colours get combined. Every season, make-up brands release new palettes of eyeshadows, lip colours and blushers, encouraging their customers to experiment a little. To go wild! To slip a little highlighter into their bronzer! MAC's Hey, Sailor! highlighter (11.50, maccosmetics.co.uk) with its hints of orange and purple, is fun for the cheeks, and Este Lauder's new eyeshadow palette in Bronze Sands (35, esteelauder.co.uk) is beautifully 1970s, with its mischievous pop of turquoise.
