#EllisFaas #rulebreaking #spfx #naturalbeauty #artistry #crueltyfree #makeupnotwar,
My pick? Eye Lights and the Skin Veil foundation.
Eye Lights re-create the effect of foiling on the lid, giving a metallic, iridescent finish to any look. Absolutely stunning on every skin tone, coming in green, silver, bronze-red, purple, silver-green – all of your goddess/ethereal dreams brought to life.
Now the Skin Veil foundation is exquisite; aside from her setting powders, every piece of make-up created by Ellis Faas is in liquid form, as she believes this is closest to us humans, being 70% water based. The foundation is liquid-crème, full coverage, and extremely hydrating. It leaves the skin with a natural glow, so it appears you’ve been running through a flowery meadow with fairies and woodland creatures. It’s lightweight but enough to cover up any scarring or discolouration in the skin, and it’s been one of my favourites all the yearlong. The mineral ingredients allow the foundation to become one, seamlessly, with the skin, and because it layers quickly and evenly it’s super ridiculously easy to build up your coverage.

ELLIS
FAAS
Do you know this woman? You should. You really, really
should. She is a make-up revolutionary badass who changed the way runway faces
were done for all fashion eternity.
An expert in both special effects and beauty artistry, Ellis Faas created a make-up line designed to
mimic the skin. Every colour in the range is a colour that naturally occurs in
the body, aside from the metallic shadows and the neon lips (how cool would
naturally neon lips be though?). Boundary pushing is the key theme, friends.

Think perfect, almost translucent, glowing skin as the base,
with high couture, creative expression everywhere and anywhere. Eye colours as
lip colours, and cheek tints, concealer as highlight and contour, literally no rules
and every rule completely broken.
Think of the woman who was one of the first to use gold leaf on runway models,
one of the muses of the great Karl, and an all-round badass who does beauty her
way. Uncompromising, raw, beautiful.
My pick? Eye Lights and the Skin Veil foundation.

My top picks from the line-up: Skin Veil foundation S101,
Hot Lips in L402 (the amount of compliments I get wearing this colour is insane
and makes me feel like a Kardashian) and Eye Lights in E302, green-gold that
makes it seem as though you have the gilded eyes of an ancient statue.
Ah-mazing!
To the left (to the left) is Ellis L402 on yours truly headed to a soiree in March. Lip didn't budge the whole night through, even with double shots of Tequila and lemon. Somehow I think Ellis would approve....
