Their collection includes every colour in the spectrum from bright to subtle sparkles, all highly pigmented & reflective so you can create a bold colourful look or opt for a subtle shimmer.. Best way to use the glitter pots is to apply a base first, go for 'Shell' Cream Base by Mac it really holds the pigment in the shadow & keeps it where you want it to be! Apply with a flat brush first of all & then blend out with a 'fluff' brush to create a soft finish. £4.50 each.

Make-Up Hall of Fame - Touche Eclat


Over the last couple of weeks & for the next few months we have been doing our very own 'Make-Up Hall of Fame', for all those fantastic products & tools that keep us looking at our best, it will consist of the true tried & tested items that come up trumps every time proving themselves to be timeless classics that no beauty junkie should be without! Any suggestions on what you think & any products you feel should definitely be put forward let us know - eyecandyblog@googlemail.com
Next in is YSL's Touche Eclat Radiant Touch (£22.50), a world famous classic that revolutionised our complexions, just about every brand has created their own version from Clinique to even Lidl's (!!), of course the original always tops the polls when comparing concealers.
It's light reflecting particles banish dark circles under the eyes as well as any other shadowed areas, such as the sides of your nose to the hollow of your chin & the contours of he lips, instantly brightening the areas creating a flawless complexion!
For best results, blend over your foundation, apply with the pen & then softly blend out with your finger tips.
Also as make-up for men is creating a media frenzy with most cosmetic firms launching a new range designed for the male market, YSL have also created Touche Eclat for Men. A product that is sure to be popular, a light concealer that can hide a multitude of sins....and who better to launch the product at Selfridges than BB9 man make-up hero Stuart Pilkington. Stuart himself said - “Since leaving the Big Brother house, I’ve become increasingly self-aware of my daily appearance as I start to get recognised when I’m out on the street. I was sent a Touche Éclat For Men this week and have already started using it as a concealer under my eyes – its magic, I love it., it hides the dark circles under my eyes, especially before I go to my nans’ for lunch to avoid interrogation on the antics of the night before!”
YSL themselves say that “We have developed YSL Touche Éclat For Men specifically for men to help encourage men to use cosmetics as a skin enhancer, rather than to create a full makeup look.” Looks as though this could be a product to really take off, so no more excuses to be stealing from our make-up bags!

Make-Up Hall Of Fame - Shu Uemera EyeLash Curlers

Over the next few months we will be starting up our very own 'Make-Up Hall of Fame', for all those fantastic products & tools that keep us looking at our best, it will consist of the true tried & tested items that come up trumps everytime proving themselves to be timeless classics that no beauty junkie should be without!

So here's our First!!!!

Heralded as the world's best eyelash curlers, Shu Uemera's little miracle workers don't come in cheap but many many users will tell you they're worth every penny!
To start with they look sleek & cool plus they always stay shiny as well as being very sturdy, but do they live up to the hype & give you beautifully curled lashes?! Well the answer is yes (!!), the curler follows the shape of the lid & lash line perfectly, the grip is very good as well as easy to apply & you only need to hold them for a few seconds to get a prefect curl, certainly no crimping! Many people have found that the curl effect given with these lash curlers makes their lashes look a lot longer, so much so that they don't have to wear mascara. Sounds pretty good when you weigh it up, £18 may not be so bad when you consider the money you could save on mascara plus they last so well they could be a friend for life! So all in all defintely worthy of a place in the Make-Up Hall Of Fame! Available from Space NK.
