Ellis Faas Glow Up for Holiday 2014

Ellis Faas are launching a new product, Glow Up – a facial illuminator, which will be available from next Monday (December 1st).

Here is Ellis’ philosophy on highlighters and her tips on how to use a product:

“Playing with light is one of the best tricks in make up. Light emphasises shape and glow. Attracting light to certain parts of your face will illuminate it and bring it to life. The best way to attract light to your face is with the soft focus properties of the reflective pearls in Glow Up. These finely milled particles provide radiance with a soft subtle shimmer. It leaves you with a delicate glow that helps to mask any imperfections, adding a satin-soft and porcelain finish.
