This post on the 2010 NY make-up show on www.Vexinthecity.com reminded me of a long term 'I wish they'd bring back...' for the 3 Custom Color brand. It used to be sold in Pout in London, but now only select bits of the line can be found at www.cultbeauty.co.uk.
I had and loved the Rose Creme to Powder blush, and eyeshadows in Brown Sugar and Camel. I like that they sell warm and cool versions of their core lip and eye colours; this makes it easier to find good basic shades that suit individual colouring and taste. The Clarifier Pencil (flesh coloured pencil - I used mine to highlight browbone, cupid's bow and inner corner of eyes) is excellent, and available at Cult Beauty, although I've since found Illamasqua Vow pencil to be a good substitute for me.
What I really like the look of is these sheer, bright lipsticks, called Light Brights, which look perfect for summer. Too bad the brand isn't widely available here in the UK anymore.



I have one of the cream to powder blushes and I love it. They are so easy to work with compared to others that I have tried.
ReplyDeleteI dislike it very much when they pull good brands like that.
The demise of Pout has been a huge loss for all London MU fans...

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out and your kind words. My name is Chad and I am one of the founders of Three Custom Color Specialists. We miss London and Pout terribly. We would love to be in another shop in London- any thoughts or favorite stores we should look into? In the meantime, feel free to order on our website as well at www.threecustom.com - we ship anywhere in the world!
Cheers!
Chad
I ordered from their site but wish they were available in more places. Love the blush you mentioned, the cherry cheek stain and those lipsticks look intriguing, don't they?
ReplyDeleteYou know how you can get them- hint hint!!!
