Verge; Golden Goddess
By Jo Phillips
If someone asks you if you are a goddess, tell them yes, you are a sister of the sun goddess, Akewa.
Long ago, according to the Argentinian tradition of the Toba tribe, she and her radiant sisters illuminated the sky. Too curious to resist temptation, they descended to Earth, where the men who lived there then prevented the star-women from ever returning to the heavens. Only Akewa remained in the sky. As she had not yet descended, every day she still walks above the Earth from one side to the other, reminding all women that they are full of radiant beauty because they are related to her. So take her lead and shine at night but also during the summer days.
With the hot summer months approaching, it’s time for you to highlight the sun goddess blood that runs through your veins. The Spring/Summer 2018 collection of Tom Ford, Chantecaille, and of Charlotte Tilbury (with her new legendary lashes), will help you to be the woman who’s presence is felt whenever she enters a room. Thus, the golden skin requires appropriate colours and techniques, here are some makeup products that will make you as sparkling like the star you are.
Take a look at the TOM FORD SOLEIL SUMMER 2018 COLLECTION, you will probably be attracted by the ivory and gold packaging which makes you feel like wearing Aphrodite’s dress and as though you are going on a journey towards a heavenly destination. Tom Ford created a sumptuous series of bronzers, highlighters and skincare aimed to brighten your summer skin throughout the year.

Due to deep concern, Chantecaille has been engaged in protecting endangered species for the past twenty years by donating a percentage of sales via special items in the collections to specific animal charities.
In her desire to ensure improved protection and respect for the welfare of wild animals as incredible beings, for the 20th anniversary Sylvie launched a gorgeously packaged palette in a high-gleam gold compact. This season she again works with the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust a world-renowned wildlife haven in Kenya. Known for their work rescuing orphaned baby elephants and caring for them until they are sound in body and spirit. The Lion Guardians is also honored this season with a palette, the shades take their names from beloved lions and elephants helped by these heroes. Chantecaille shows her support by creating a suite of sunset shades that compliment different skin tones. They layer effortlessly to create natural, blurred looks as well as on-trend gradient ombre effects, and reference the full spectrum of skin tones, from cool to warm, to accentuate every eye shade.
