NEW FIND! ELLIS FAAS COSMETICS

I just had too, I treated myself to the cinema today, where I saw Clint Eastwood's Hereafter, I loved it, so different then most of his previous work, but anyway I had to stop into Bloomie's, I have a upcoming gig with the lovely Brooke Burns this weekend and I needed more black Liner, I prefer SMASHBOX Jet Set in black, but oddly i never noticed they don't carry Smashbox at Bloomingdale's. So I opted for Bobbi Browns version, so we will see..............As I walk through all the makeup delights, smells and flash. I wander into to Space.k and instantly flash catches my eye...........ELLAS FASS! I have never seen nor heard of it. but its beautiful and sleek, and shaped like a bullet,...i hand test a few products and I was sold. I can not wait to use it on someones lips! hehe!   So , I shopped, I shouldn't have, but I did! I purchased one of the three different types of lips they offer......So here are the ones I chose, i am sure i will be back.

L105

CREAMY LIPS                         

For classic lipstick definition and long wearing coverage, use soft and velvety Creamy Lips. Apply Creamy Lips with the spongy applicator first by painting the lips with just a small amount of lipstick, then fully load the applicator to fill inside of the lips. Versatile Creamy Lips is also great for a more stained effect -- just load a tiny bit of the lipstick onto the applicator, apply and blot for a matte stain $35.00 steep yes, but worth it? yeah!

L206

MILKY LIPS                                   L206

For a more fluid and translucent appearance, try Milky Lips. For a subtle look with just a trace of colour, either apply a feather-light layer all over the lips or apply Milky Lips to the middle of the lips and fade it with the fingertips

L306

GLAZED LIPS                             

Turn to ELLIS FAAS Glazed Lips for an ultra-wet, yet long-lasting splash of colour that combines transparency and intensity. Load the pen and slick on Glazed Lips for hours of coverage. Glazed Lips is made from plant seed oils that hydrate, as well as Tocotrienol (a powerful antioxidant and component of Vitamin E), Vitamin C, and Omegas 3 and 6. If you blot the lips after application, you will achieve a more subtle stained look.




Ellis Faas also has amazing line of eye shadows, be careful, all the products including the foundation all looks the same shape. Here's a taste of the magic you cam make with them.

Myke's 4 To know! New To me Products

So here are some products that have me very  intrigued. Some are new and some are just plan new to me. Sometime as a Makeup Artist, I get very comfortable with the products and makeup lines that I love and use already, based on pigments, performance and the easiness of using brands that you trust. That I simply don't step out of my little makeup trailer to see that there are so many, many options out there, you know you never know till you try it. So here are few new fresh picks, that I have added to my big box of makeup tricks.

1. e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

Create a healthy and natural glow all year long. The Blush highlights the cheeks to add a flush of color, while the Bronzer accents and contours cheekbones for beautiful definition.

Can i just say "hello?" I love this duo. I've used each shade alone and together. and you will never guess how much it cost? waiting? $3.00, yes, you heard me.


Just a Tip: Brush the bronze to the hollows of your cheek to define, and you can also dust it around your face line to create a healty glow. Then use the blush on the apples of your cheeks. I myself like to add a tad more to the apple for a strong yet healthy glow.

2. Atmosphere Luminous Foundation

Atmosphere's moisturizing base allows minerals to move and breathe with the skin, reflecting light to help create a youthful glow. 

These gorgeous Vapour foundation sticks glide on easily and blend seamlessly achieving radiant, healthy looking skin with even complextion.

That allows your skin to breathe while reflecting light to give your skin a youthful glow. Works well for HD. and its organic! $38.00

3. Dior 'Creme de Rose' Lip Balm SPF 10

Tucked inside an elegant white case, Creme de Rose is a smoothing, plumping lip balm with a delicate rose scent. Essential oils and shea butter nourish and moisturize lips. Either applied on its own or under any other    lip color. In on universal petal-pink shade~delish!

4. HOURGLASS Extreme Shine Lip Gloss in~ Siren

Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm not to hip on red lipstick or gloss. I never have been, it's to hard to clean up and some brands feather to to  easy, However, SMASHBOX, makes a gloss that I do love that is red, but glides on so sheer and subtle, also called Siren. Just recently while working with Fellow Makeup Artist, Jesse Lindholm on a film 'FIXING PETE" She introduced me to HOURGLASS Extreme Sheen lip gloss in  Siren. Well i flipped my lid, it was  so rich and gave the appearance of patten leather, maybe ever more like slick red vinyl lips.  In the film we used it  during a segment of runaway models at a fashion show, Clean faces, oyster eyes, Strong  brows and Siren lips!  $28.00
