I visited Mecca recently and swatched Ellis Faas’ range of Milky and Creamy lip colours. The Milky range is subtle, with just more than a hint of pretty colour that you can tone up or down with more or less product.

But the real stand-out is the Creamy range. These are highly pigmented colours that just look stunning. If you’re serious about lip stick then you should definitely check these out (and the serious price tag $65 to go with it).

All of the Ellis Faas products are liquid, including the eye colours and blushes. They all come in the same pen-like packaging, which I think may be a bit annoying because if I were rummaging through my makeup bag I couldn’t easily tell all the products apart. But then, I think I’d be quite happy owning even just one of these beautiful cosmetics.

Ellis Faas is a famous make-up artist who has launched an interesting range of cosmetics. What’s interesting about the range is that the colours across the whole range are based on colours that occur naturally in the human body. The idea is that these colours suit every skin tone and fashion trend. And so they’ll never go out of style and all the current colours will always remain in her collection (i.e. they’re not seasonal so you’ll never be without your fave colours). That’s the idea anyway.

All the products are in liquid form too, dispensed in felt-tip pens type things.

On 23rd and 24th September, Mecca Cosmetica at Kirk’s in Welly will be having an Ellis Faas event. It costs $50 redeemable on products.
