Face Atelier



Face Atelier is a new brand for me since moving stateside.. and seems to be a front runner supporting many music tours (Madonna, Kelly Clarkson) and a variety of TV shows out here.. It has won several awards and is a favourite among makeup artists and celebs.

Here are a couple of my must have picks from the brand..

Face Atelier Ultra Foundation Zero Minus 
This whole range of foundation is a popular choice and best seller.. It contains no SPF as spf on your skin can be the reason for those white looking faces in photos. A little goes a long way! This is a Silicone based foundation which works to fill in lines and wrinkles to even out skin.

The Zero Minus is a white colour which can be used to custom make the perfect colour for you depending on your skin tone in the changing seasons.. This shade is also perfect for those extra paler skins. Also can be used under your colour for highlighting purposes.

$48.00 (USD) 30ml


Face Atelier Ultra Camouflage Duet
This a concealer which is ideal for under eyes, also silicone based. Long wearing, buildable and no drying or flaking! I always apply foundation first then concealer.. as foundation can cover slightly which means less concealer for a more natural finish. I like to apply with a brush. Start with a little and build up slowly if needed.

Comes in a variety of colours and two in a pack for mixing up the right shade.
$33.00

Zoya

Im sure you are all aware of my current US nail addiction.. 


Nail Polish and Nail Care Treatments.

Some colours from Zoya I am just loving right now. My nail picks for July.

Louise
Very unique colour. I can't say I have seen another brand do a deep chocolate brown like this.. It's rich in colour and stays put for several days. 


Hunter
A creamy army green colour to flatter many skin tones.


Sailor
A dark navy, purple tone for fingers and tones. LOVE
Also creamy colour.


Last but not least 
Neve
This one has a pearl/shimmer in it not like the others.. Also rich purple. Great on olive skin.

Davines



Once upon a time... when I was still living and working in London I was lucky enough to assist a few different Makeup Artists on some Davines jobs for various commercials etc. I remember not knowing much about the brand and was so thrilled to be on those few days working either way.

Arriving to set I was in total awe of the Davines team and what they had created and prepping for the days ahead for the hair shoot.. I was excited and inspired and keen to learn more about this brand. This team was led by the wonderful and oh so talented Angelo Seminara (Art Director for the brand). This man is a creative genius and has teamed up with a wonderful brand!! 

I can't stress enough how amazing this brand is, the products are phenomenal and I have over the years fallen in LOVE with the brand and recently tried some products that are MUST HAVE items for everyone!!

NouNou Shampoo
Nourishing Illuminating Shampoo
Perfect for those with chemically/coloured treated hair. helping to restore health and shine to damaged and dry hair. Contains Chestnut Milk which deeply moisturises your locks. It has a thinner consistency then most shampoos I noticed but honestly a little goes a long way). I was so happy with this shampoo.. it helped detangle as well and had a pleasant and subtle scent.


Nou Nou Conditioner
Nourishing Illuminating Cream
Another product that works like a charm on color/chemically treated hair. Protecting colour and restoring body and health of hair. Contains Sweet Almond Butter which works to add softness as well as strengthen elasticity and strength of hair. Tomato extract is also included to help maintain vibrancy of your coloured hair. Feels like a mask.. I find I get the most out of it when I leave on my hair for at least 5 mins.. 10mins if you have it! LOVE LOVE LOVE.


Another MUST HAVE..
NouNou Pak
Nourishing Repairing Mask
This is super powerful and best used after NouNou Shampoo. Keep this close by if you suffer from dry and brittle hair. This will give you the softness, shine and silkiness that you always dream of! Filled with so many goodies that your hair will thank you for.. Jojoba Oil, Olive Butter, Cherry Oil.. 
Now this is a mask so to reap the benefits use this when you have time to pamper. Once a week is perfect.. Leave on for 10-15mins, rinse and voila.

Don't waste anymore time.. Get on to the website and check out what else is on offer from this fabulous brand. give it a try next time you are looking for a new hair range to try.
