Although ochre shades look pretty horrible on my light cool toned complexion, they may be a great find for girls with warmer and deeper skin tones.

It’s also not the easiest shade to come across, so I’d love to show two products, that I would recommend. One is cream and one is powder.   And I am talking about Illamasqua’s Powder Eye Shadow in Vernau and Ellis Faas’ Creamy Eyes in E119 Yellow Ochre.

These are both “Makeup4all approved” products with

So what’s inside my makeup bag?  If I had a task to create the look with only five products, here is what I’d use. The products that I like are changing constantly so here are those that I am enjoying at the moment.

And while you are deciding on what products you would choose, take advantage of the social and community section of binguez, every girl’s favourite online gaming site, where you can also interact with members and ask for ideas and suggestions.

So the products are:

Daniel Sandler’s Invisible Radiance Foundation and Concealer (review)

Ok, yes, that is a bit cheating as it is one-in-two product… It’s a perfect foundation for my dry skin, it evens out the skin tone and gives the  complexion a dewy glow, exactly what I am looking for!

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush

I have been loving the shade 09 Soft Murano a lot lately, in fact, I have been using it almost every single day. It is a high quality product for an affordable price plus the colour is very flattering!

Ellis Faas Mascara

This  has been my mascara of choice lately. It gives a nice length, separates the lashes, lasts for the long time, without fading, smudging or flaking. It even survives an

I wanted to write a review about Ellis Faas’ Mascara for a long time already, so here is is finally.

It comes in a signature “bullet” design which all my designer friends rated very highly.  I love the brand’s products a lot and always expect exceptional quality. And this mascara does deliver, in my opinion.

Here is, by the way, the image to support the mascara created by Ellis.  Those are clearly false eye lashes and, unlike a lot of other brands, EF doesn’t claim that you will get a ridiculously long and thick lashes, that is just a creative and fun image.

But back to the mascara. I would say that it is a lengthening mascara and actually, I have just checked, it is described as a lengthening one. Not that is doesn’t give any volume but it is great at giving length and separation.  And it is probably my favourite thing!

This mascara is not clumpy at all, even if I apply several coats, the lashes are defined but they don’t stick to each other, so I son;t need to comb through.

The other thing that I love is that Mascara is pretty long-lasting, it doesn’t smudge or

Today I opted for a very simple and minimal makeup, both in terms of colours and the quantity of products.  Today it’s all about work and I am not going out anywhere afterwards, so  I was not in the mood for any experiments, and , quite frankly, did not have time.

Face

I’ve used Rouge Bunny Rouge Home Time Defying Foundation Skin Sanctuary which I promise to review soon. I totally forgot that I had the samples of it, the post is already in the process. I then added some Benefit’s Dandelion  to brighten up the complexion  and BECCA’s Beach Tint in Raspberry as a pop of colour on the cheeks and on top of the lip balm.

 Eyes

I have used Benefit’s powder eye shadows in Leggy and Dandy Brandy which are very soft and smooth, and blend beautifully. Lighter shade all over the lead and darker shade for definition. I have also lined the eyes with a black (and not brown, shocker!)  Clarins Crayon Khol, smudged it

Happy days, Ellis Faas launched seven new shades of Creamy Eyes! The promo image is a masterpiece, as usual, very Ellis and very cool.
