We know women who'd rather go on the Stealth ride at Thorpe Park than have a department store makeover.
We know where you're coming from. (Although we've also had fantastic makeover experiences ourselves, most notably at Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Clinique and Chanel.)
So: you need to know about Shiseido's Magic Mirror, based on a revolutionary technology: it scans your features, then allows you to 'apply' a range of lip, cheek and eye shades so you can see how they'll look on you - very realistically.
No walking around wearing scary green eyeshadow all afternoon. Or dashing back to the office to wash your face.
Magic? We'd say it lives up to its name...
