It’s great to know that some make-up companies realize that the nude, natural look is timeless for the summer. Jane Iredale’s Perfectly Nude mineral make-up collection combines the effortless natural look with modern demands. The fact the collection is made without fillers, fragrance, chemical dyes or synthetic preservatives is a bonus.
Lip Fixation is a dual-ended lip stain and lip gloss (£19·95), available in Desire, Fascination and Craving. This product features ginger root extract and avocado oil, aiding hydration.
The Perfectly Nude eye-shadow kit (£38) has five shades, and includes a handy application brush and integral mirror.
So-Bronze 3 (£33) is a mineral bronzer. Mix the two colours together or use separately to shimmer to face, lips, and eyes.
From what we could tell, only two celebrities’ names were bandied about after the Love Ball last night: Natalia Vodianova, for being the face of the De Beers Magic Moment necklace, and Elizabeth Hurley, for wearing a see-through sari—recalling that 1994 moment when she wore a revealing Versace dress held together with safety pins. There are more celebrity pics in the main part of the Lucire website.

The inquest into Lee McQueen’s death, which opened today at Westminster Coroner’s Court, has found that the 40-year-old designer had hanged himself in his wardrobe.
McQueen had died of asphyxia and hanging, according to a post mortem, and had left a suicide note.
Det Insp Paul Armstrong told the coroner, Dr Paul Knapman, that there were no suspicious circumstances, and that McQueen had suicided.
McQueen, who had been the founder of the Alexander McQueen label, was found by emergency services at his Green Street, Mayfair flat last Thursday morning.
