Colour Story: MAKE UP FOR EVER Goes For the Bold
What It Is: One thing I can say about MAKE UP FOR EVER: They’re never satisfied. Their latest beauty innovations combine seriously bold colour with seriously staying power – we’re talking waterproof, sweatproof, stay-all-day makeup, JUST what you need for the sizzling dog days of summer and wedding season alike. The brand’s latest AQUA XL products include Color Paint, which comes in a paint-like tube and formulation, and glides on with supreme ease. I’m a sucker for the lustrous look of creme shadows but have never been able to justify buying them because they crease so easily – not the case with AQUA XL Color Paint, which gives you that same look without the fuss. Plus it blends like a dream and works particularly well as a base. Seriously, I was amazed come 6 p.m. on a recent hot day to see my eye makeup look as flawless as it did when I applied it at 7:00 a.m.!
The second item is AQUA XL Ink Eye Liner, which comes in over a dozen shades from metallics to mattes. It’s a true liquid liner that you apply with the included sponge tip applicator, which is specifically designed to make it easy to go from a thick line to a thin one for that perfect cats eye winged look. I did find it took an extra coat to really get the pigmentation I wanted, but the staying power was pretty impressive considering I’m a gal whose eyes tend to water throughout the day. Now I just have to try these awesome products at the beach!
Who It’s For: Your beauty-loving best friend. Your sun-loving sibling. Your tends-to-sob bride-to-be.
What It Costs: The Color Paint retails for $31 a tube, while the Eye Liner is $30.
Where It’s At: Shop Sephora.ca or the MAKE UP FOR EVER site.
