Ellis Faas Skin Blush S304

When it comes to creating a beautiful palette of makeup shades, acclaimed Dutch makeup artist, Ellis Faas, certainly knows her business.  The colors in Ellis Faas Cosmetics are based on ones the body naturally produces in order to best compliment our skin.  A prime example is Skin Blush S304 that I received to review.

Just like her other cosmetics in this prestige line, this blush is manufactured in another silver bullet-like pen.  The first version of this blush had a sponge applicator, which later was replaced with a synthetic brush tip for fewer risks of clogging. 

At first glance, the color of S304 looks like a red-plum shade when it flows to the brush tip.  However, I was surprised that once I dabbed a bit of the color onto my cheek and blended it into my skin, the shade transformed itself.  Before my eyes, I discovered the color gained a bit of bronze to subdue most of the red-plum until it became more of a russet-bronze.

Although it was different from what I had expected, this russet-bronze had warmth and vitality.  At the same time, S304 gave my skin a healthy boost of sunny color and beneficial skin assistance from essential oils, vitamins, and rose water.  This is not some flat blush that just sits on your cheeks.  The look is luminous, casting a delicate gleam to bring out your bone structure.

Be careful on how much of the color you dispense.  This is a very pigmented blush where just a small amount will suffice. 

Ellis Faas Skin Blush S304 is a trooper whether you use prime first or not.  This product can last for hours without going anywhere! 

Despite the color being a tad too dark for my light skin, I thought this was a beautiful way to blush especially for those with medium to dark complexions. Ellis Faas Skin Blush S304 retails for $32.  Do check this product out.

Ellis Faas Cosmetics E401 Black Mascara

Some women are lucky to be born with incredibly long, thick lashes.  I wish that I was one of them, but I was born with short, stubby little things passing themselves off as lashes.  Therefore, I depend on a mascara to create that beautiful illusion for me.  One fantastic answer to my prayers arrived unexpectedly in a box of products from prestige brand, Ellis Faas Cosmetics with their E401 Black Mascara.

No exaggeration here when I tell you this little silver bullet tube containing this magical formula can seemingly do it all for your eyes as it separates and lengthens every last lash, regardless of how tiny.  

Pulling out the long, thin wand and watching how this rich black formula grabbed onto my lashes and built them up fairly quickly without clumping and irritation excited me.  Two coats are usually my limit unless I want to risk clown eyes that look like thick, dry prongs jutting out from your lids.  But I can take my lashes further with E401 and love the look of three coats.

The next time I tried this mascara on, I curled my lashes first.  Oh, my goodness, my eyes looked stunning with even longer, thicker glossy lashes from the help of my eye lash curler.  

I even forgot I had mascara on and rubbed my eyes.  Guess what?  E401 Black Mascara did not smudge and give me black rings around my eyes.  Equally impressive was it lasted all day for me without flaking or bothering my delicate allergy eyes even in the midst of the ragweed season.

Highly acclaimed Dutch makeup artist, Ellis Faas, really solved the frustrating problem of sparse lashes with this fabulous mascara.  Ladies, try this E401 Black Mascara and you won't be disappointed.  A tube retails for $34 at the Ellis Faas website.

Stunning Effects With Ellis Faas Cosmetics CreamyE129 (Peachy Skin) and LightE303 (Bronze) Eye Shadow Pens (Review)--Photos + SWATCHES!

I found a sure fire way to power up eyes and add some sizzle to your look.  Let me tell you about the latest batch of products that showed up at my door from Ellis Faas Cosmetics because what these shadows can do for your eyes with the way they can bounce off light and take advantage of color is truly astounding.  

It is easy to see why Ellis Faas received such worldwide fame as a makeup artist.  She truly understands how to maximize a woman's beauty through color based on shades the human body produces.  With her gifted eye, her artistry is visibly apparent and seems to filter through her entire line of luxury cosmetics.

A prime example is CreamyE 129 (Peachy Skin) Eye Pen.  Once clicked and that luscious color flows to the tip of this silver bullet pen, the color appears to be a fleshy tone of true peach with equal portions of pink to yellow.

At first, I wasn't sure if the shade would better work as a base color or one to highlight with--and then I tried it on my lids.  Like a chameleon, I saw this shade change as it brightened with almost a surreal glow.  My eyes instantly lit up with a soft, gleaming array of sheer pink, beige, and yellow tones, which was mesmerizing to say the least.  If you want to paint perfection for a romantic look, CreamyE 129 can help you achieve that goal.

I also found another LightE 303 (Bronze) Eye Pen inside my box.  This has a beautiful metallic quality.  Imagine a bronze color like liquid metal for the eyes streaming with a small rainbow of color for even extra impact.  Read my earlier review to get my full take on LightE 303.

This is LightE 303 (Bronze).

You do need to need to work fast applying these pens because these shadows do dry quickly.  However, these shadows can be worn for hours without ever creasing.   Feel confident to skip wearing a primer because these Ellis Faas Eye Pens won't fade, crease, or melt until you choose to take them off.

The only fault I can find with these eye pens is all the needed clicking before those glorious colors flow.  

The CreamyE 129 (Peachy Skin) retails for $36 and the LightE (Bronze) Eye Pen can be had for $42.  Though a bit steep, the price is justified once you experience those breathtaking results yourself!  

Have you tried Ellis Faas Eye Pens yet?   Do visit their website and treat yourself.  Ladies, you can thank me later.

I Just Increased My WOW Factor--Ellis Faas Cosmetics Light Eye Pens (E301 and E303) for Subtly Chic or Dramatic Impact! (Review) Photos + Swatches!

Ellis Faas definitely knows how to play up eyes and create a sensation with her Light Eye Pens.  This highly acclaimed Dutch makeup artist manages to blend and refine light and color so effortlessly that these Light Eye Pens seem to also share that radiance with your entire face.  I was fortunate to review two from the five shades in that line to share with you, E301 and E303.

Here is E301

This is E303

Just like the Creamy Lip Pens I reviewed, these Light Eye Pens also come in a silver bullet-like tube.  However, these have a plastic brush that the thick liquid flows to instead of a sponge.  

E301 is metallic liquid metal almost like casting your eyes with molten silver and beige peeking through.  

E303 is a gleaming array of bronze light with gold intertwined to make it even more dazzling.  The color viewed in a certain light has traces of blue, violet, and pink-red.

Here is a swatch of E301

These pens do take a bit of clicking before the color flows for the first time.  Nonetheless, the effort is worth it for that gorgeous multidimensional color.

I did notice these liquid shadows do have a tendency to dry quickly so you need to hurry and work.   Taking a small dab of the shadow from the loaded plastic bristles, I applied to my lids using my finger as my tool and blended.  When I was through with a thin layer, the look was subtly chic whereas too heavily piling up the layers makes it quite dramatic.  How you want to alter the look is up to you!

These shadows also hold up remarkably long without creasing.  I am talking about lasting all day even without a primer. 

I already  have my sights on the three remaining others in this line to give you an idea of how much I liked these pens.  Yet, I am torn between my first choice the E302 (the green-gold) to the E305 (the turquoise-burgundy) or the E304 (violet-lilac).  What are your favorites?

These Ellis Faas Light Eye Pens retail for $42 each.  If you haven't experienced these yet, you need to do so!

A Beauty Sensation Worth Your Attention! Meet My New Must-Have Lippies! Ellis Faas Cosmetics Creamy Lip Pens Review--Photos + Swatches!

This is L 101 Lip Pen

Based in the Netherlands, Ellis Faas is a cosmetic company started by the highly acclaimed makeup artist in a line that takes color to a new frontier with her talents.  Instead of saddling us with artificial color, Ellis bases her inspirations on colors the body produces naturally.  The result means a more complimentary cosmetic when it comes to best working with your skin tone.  A prime example of such artistry comes shining through with the Creamy Lip Pens that I was privileged to review.

These lip colors come in silver bullet-like tubes that you swivel up for the color to flow to the sponge applicator.  You can control how much of that brilliant color easily enough by how much of the product you want to release. 

The two Creamy Lip Pens sent were L 101 (a deep blood red)  and L 105 (a flattering rusty brown).  The colors look slightly darker on the surface of the sponge until it hits your lips for an amazing impact with an intense shine.  At the same time, these well-pigmented pens left my lips plumped and moisturized.

I never found any tacky stickiness or experience any smearing, flaking, or escaping product over my lip line while wearing them. 

This product has wonderful lasting power.  I put it on in early morning after breakfast and kept it on through lunch without too much damage.  The lip color does come off but does it evenly with grace to leave behind a beautiful stain. 

I thought there was enough color to wear alone.  However, I thought I would do a little retouching.  Since I didn't throw that new tube in my handbag, I took out my clear lip balm and did a little retouching. 

When I was through, my lips still dripped with a slightly paler version of that haunting blood red color.  My mouth looked incredible and so inviting.

I truly love my new lippies.  If you want to discover sexy color that can effortlessly transform ordinary into extraordinary, I highly recommend looking into Ellis Faas Cosmetics and these Creamy Lip Pens.  They retail for $35 each and are now one of my beauty staples!
