Skin Care 101

Final month I released you to ELLIS FAAS, a revolutionary line of liquid primarily based cosmetics inspired by colours that naturally exist within the human physique. Bergdorf Goodman is the brand’s preliminary door in the US.

Shortly subsequent the US start of ELLIS FAAS I had the opportunity to experience the brand in-person in Bergdorf’s attractiveness atrium. If I’ve stated it as soon as I’ve stated it a thousand events, Bergdorf Goodman provides a breathtaking show of attractiveness eye candy …make investments some time there!

I am so utilized by the sheer brilliance and innovation behind ELLIS FAAS that I have committed to dissecting the assortment piece by piece and performing an in-depth sequence on the numerous elements of the line. Let’s start with ELLIS FAAS: ELLIS SKIN and the ELLIS HOLDER

ELLIS SKIN consists of Skin Veil Foundation (in 8 shades), Concealer (in 8 shades), Blush (in 4 shades), and Powder (in 3 shades). With respect to Foundation and Concealer, the philosophy of the line is that the two function in conjunction and primarily based on your complexion, a numerous diploma of contrast is required. For instance, darker skin demands much much more contrast between Concealer and Foundation although lighter skin demands Foundation and Concealer to be much much more comparable in shade. ELLIS FAAS believes that Foundation ought to illuminate the skin with out appearing big or give the appearance of an unsightly mask. And even though FAAS believes that darkish skin and light skin require numerous degrees of contrast, the finish last result ought to usually be natural and seamless. I created the option to street examine Skin Veil Foundation (shade 107), Concealer (shade 207 – beneath my eyes), and Powder (shade 403).

Accurate to FAAS philosophy, the SKIN products provide a finish that is natural, seamless, and completely totally totally free of harsh lines of demarcation. The Foundation illuminates, highlights and contours of the face. The Concealer is undetectable. See for yourself….

Right right here I am with my hair pulled back again once more so that you can see the make-up. Can you think I am sporting NO BLUSH? The highlight and contour is a last result of the Concealer/ Foundation duo. [NOTE: The only other products in pictures include light mascara and light gloss (not ELLIS FAAS)]

And right right here I am displaying off the makeup…and my new bangs (You like?:)). Even in a shut up shot the make-up is practically undetectable. I am sporting a generous layer of Foundation, along with Concealer and Powder.

It is unattainable to speak about ELLIS FAAS with out swooning more than the packaging. The ELLIS HOLDER, a light-weight, slick metal make-up holder, is the cat’s meow and the bee’s knees. All ELLIS FAAS products arrive in these cools silver pens that tidily match into the streamlined handy dandy ELLIS HOLDER. Skin Veil matches in the middle of the holder and the other products (lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, blush) fill the remaining open slots. There’s even a snap on compartment for Powder. Pure genius! This tends to make the holder ideal for journey, the girl on the go, or the hottie that likes to maintain her make-up streamlined…rather of rattling about in her purse!

ELLIS FAAS SKIN tends to make great sense and is plain ol’ great for you. The incorporation of minerals help diffuse light across skin’s ground and lower the appearance of great lines. And although I am not 1 to advise relying on a cosmetic merchandise to provide your suggested daily dose of sun safety, the SPF 15 in Skin Veil Foundation is an additional bonus (nonetheless wear your sunscreen, magnificent…if you want to stay “magnificent).

The Concealer pairs superbly with Skin Veil Foundation, supplying a appear that is delicate and polished. I primarily use the Concealer beneath my eyes as a brightener, but the Concealer provides sufficient safety to lower the appearance of slight blemishes and pigmentation imperfections. Enriched with Vitamin C, E, Karite oil, and rice wax, ELLIS FAAS Concealer hydrates and delivers anti-aging properties although it conceals.

The Powder is light-weight, transparent, and also consists of SPF 15. Formulated with seaweed extract, ELLIS FAAS Powder provides the appear of naturally mattified skin.

ELLIS FAAS is so new to Bergdorf’s that it’s not but on their website…but an additional cause for you to march on into the attractiveness atrium and examine out the assortment in person.

Remain tuned for my subsequent installment, both ELLIS FAAS: EYES or ELLIS FAAS: LIPS!
