Paris! J’adore the city, I lived in Paris for years, and luckily I still have to visit it very often #lovemyjob.

Sonia Rykiel and Lancôme pay tribute to Paris with a colourful new make-up collection.

Be patient – this collection with lip crayons, cushion blush, a palette and nail polish will be launched in August and in The Netherlands September 1st.

Lancôme describes the collection as "full of colour, resolutely joyful with genuine freedom of tone inspired by the spirit of Saint-Germain-des-Prés".

"Sonia Rykiel is the ultimate incarnation of a certain idea of the Parisian. A woman who cultivates her joyfully emancipated freedom and refuses the imposed choice of depth or lightness, a woman who is simultaneously seductive and in love," said Françoise Lehmann , managing director of Lancôme International. "It is the 'Saint-Germain spirit', the idea of happiness in one's own image, actively constructed every day."
