Chanel’s Girl Next Door
For an innocent take on date night, look to Chanel’s little princess’s . Fresh skin and back to basics eyes were brought to life with a pop of colour on the lips. Turn to ByTerry’s Terrybly Velvet Rouge lip-gloss to add a rosy shine, whilst Chanel’s Harmonie Poudre Belle Mine Marinière N°1 will add a healthy flush to your cheeks. Jo Malone will seal the look by leaving you smelling of Red Roses.
