Ellis Faas face of the day (green eyes, orange lips)


L204 is a bright pumpkin orange. This kind of colour is not for everyone, I know, but I was utterly drawn to it at the Ellis Faas introductory event, and I love it. The milky lips have a very light fluid-stain texture that is slightly transparent. They do need to be reapplied quite often because of this, but I like the natural stained finish they give to the lips.

Close up of the eye look - this is after a very long day, and it held up really well. I applied the E104 close to my upper and lower lashes, and then smudged it out on my lids a little. I then dabbed a little of the E204 over the top on my lid only.



And this is the whole face. I think these products show that colours based on naturally occurring shades do not necessarily have to be in the beige/brown spectrum. I'm also wearing the ERA Everyday foundation in this picture (in shade Y3.)

  1. Lovely! The lipstick shade reminds me of Besame Carmine - very Grace Kellyesque!

  2. Hi Conny - good spot - very similar colour! The Besame is a lot more opaque, so I can justify both of those ;)

  5. What a gorgeous look. I am really intrigued by the Ellis Faas range (after, of course, discovering her here on your blog). I'm really going to have to try a product or two in the new year I think.

  6. Hi Em - lots of lovely lipsticks in this line. L207 is another very nice one - a more rosy shade.

    Hi Witoxicity - it is! I love this formula, very easy to wear.

    Hello Ondine - the counter is definitely worth a visit when it opens - I'm counting down the days!

  7. I am intrigued by that lipcolor! It looks so great on you yet I know it would make me look like a pumpkin.
