Even a beauty amateur like myself knows that Eve Lom's new make-up range is worth getting excited about. Two years in the making, this collection of Radiance
Perfecting Complexion Products (yep, that's a bit of a mouthful)
launched at Space NK this week. At a short introductory workshop, I met Eve
Lom's gorgeous product director
Amandine Isnard who announced, 'This is not really make-up, this is advanced
skincare with colour.' Which sums it up nicely. I posted a couple of pictures of the event on
Instagram and one of my followers asked for a review. So, here by popular
demand...

With a deft flick of her brush, Amandine gave me a very swift makeover and the results were fantastic. Even Mr That's Not My Age noticed the difference. Well, he asked if I was wearing lipstick. I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to make-up. I don't like
wearing stuff on my skin everyday but have reached an age where I need
to do something about the dark spots, age spots, whatever you call them.
And the
Eve Lom Radiance Perfected Tinted Moisturiser with SPF 15 is easy to apply (I haven't bought the brush yet - still using fingers, don't tell Amandine), feels light on the skin and provides decent coverage. As well as UVA/UVB protection the tinted moisturiser contains raspberry stem cells - technical name: BerryFlux Vita - and brightening lily extract. At £48 it's not cheap, but my annual make-up spend is so low I really don't mind splurging on a superior product every now and then. And it's cheaper than Botox. Not that I'd ever do that...
I'm even thinking of trying the primer...
It is
The Year of Grown-Up Glamour, after all.
Would love to check it out...will it be in stores in the US?
ReplyDeleteThe packaging is gorgeous! I will have to keep an eye out for it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time I start looking at better make-up instead of the drugstore brands. But those prices make me balk! I'm cheap, but I do buy one or two expensive items for the quality. I'll keep my eye out for Eve Lom here.
ReplyDeleteI've never used foundation either, I hate the thought of having brown gunk on my face.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that Eve Lom's against animal testing but at those prices I'll be sticking to Superdrug's Vitamin E Instant Radiance Balm and put the £45 I've saved towards another holiday! xxx
Skincare with colour - genius idea and from such a well respected brand I will definitely be trying this. Similarly I don't spend a lot on make-up and would consider myself a bit of a cynic (beauty halls - bah, get me out of there!) but this makes sense. Perfect time of year to get some help after ravages of winter weather wreaked on the old visage too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks luxurious, would like to check it out.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Thank you for the review. It looks amazing too. S x
ReplyDeleteOh by the way that comment above is from me, Sarah S - seem to be logged in on my work's google account. Damn technology!! Need to check out this range wonder if in Australia yet? X
ReplyDeleteA foundation brush for £32?!!! Are they crazy? I'm sure some people will buy it, but I can't imagine why. It's not as though it's even "formulated" or anything. It's a BRUSH!

Rosemary - I didn't even know that foundation could be applied with a brush!
