WANT to have the luminous skin of model Sophie Dahl?
Try Clarins’ Double Serum Generation 6 ($136, right), an anti-ageing product that bagged the title of Beauty Product of the Year at the eighth annual Her World Beauty Awards. Dahl is touted to be a celebrity fan of the French brand.
The Awards – held at the Raffles City exhibition atrium last Friday and organised by Singapore Press Holdings’ Her World magazine – are widely known as the Oscars of beauty and make-up in Singapore.
“The awards are a mark of quality for products that are not only approved by expert panels but also our readers, who are savvy beauty junkies,” said Her World editor Elisabeth Gwee.
The expert voting panel included make-up artists and aesthetics doctors, while a staggering 2,000 readers voted for their favourite beauty products.
