FOTD: Soft Eyes, Hot Pink Lips

This look was achieved using FACE Atelier Lipstick in Pink Sizzle & Lip Glaze in Shiraz.

FACE Atelier; Lipstick

At the IMATS I picked up quite a few lipsticks; 8 in total! These 3 little beauties are from FACE Atelier (which you can find at Coco Beau).

Left to Right: Pink Sizzle, Pink Cashmere & Berry Sorbet

Berry Sorbet: A shimmery purple frost

Pink Cashmere: A shimmery pink frost

Pink Sizzle: very cool blue pink

All are available for £17. Pricey, but divine

FACE Atelier at IMATS (Video)

If you're a regular reader (or viewer!) you'll know how much I love FACE Atelier's products & how delighted I am that both the fact that they will be at IMATS this month & that I'm working with them!

This video takes you through some of the core products of the brand, including the 'heart & soul' - the Ultra Foundation.

You can check out FACE Atelier at Coco Beau or at the FACE Atelier website. There, you can read more about Debbie Bondar, the woman behind the brand, browse the rest of their products (take notes & stock up at IMATS!) and pick up professional 'trade secrets'.

A brand that not only cares about making humans feel good, they look after the bunnies too...

FACE atelier is against animal testing. Period.

FACE atelier has received official approval of its animal testing policies from PETA and is listed on its Caring Consumer website. In adherence to PETA principles, FACE atelier products have not been tested on animals. We do not buy ingredients from vendors who test on animals, nor do our vendors buy from manufacturers who test on animals.

But with or without PETA, we wouldn't test on animals. At FACE atelier, we want to sleep at night.

Spring Fresh Coral Lips & Glossy Eye

You might remember this post by my guest blogger Lisa, where she listed the many many flaws of OCC Lip Tar in Grandma. Well she kindly donated the lip tar to me and challenged me to make it work (a little Tim Gunn there for good measure)

I kept the skin really fresh with FACE Atelier foundation.

A slick of vaseline on the eyelids gives a really fresh, glossy appearance. Use waterproof mascara!

FOTD

Hi,

I promised I would be doing more of these; I'm having a bit of a lull in terms of product reviews at the moment, both in terms of stuff to review & the energy to think about actually reviewing them, so am loving having more time to actually dedicate to FOTD makeup posts!

I didn't have time yesterday morning to A - do my makeup to any decent standard and B - photograph it before work, so this look is the makeup I did for filming 2 non-makeup related videos yesterday (which you can see here if you like!)

So, this was another very simple look - I've used...
