Top Festive Make Up Tips from 'Fuschia'
Christmas is the best time of year for dressing up and hitting the party circuit and to ensure that you look fabulous from day to night, Gillian Moore Brady, co-founder of Fuschia, Ireland’s award winning make-up brand, has come up with her top tips to help you look stunning throughout the party season.
Eyes
While smoky eyes are a great party look all year round, this holiday season ladies are looking for bigger and bolder versions that mirror fashion forward celebrities such as Lady GaGa and Pixie Lott. A great way of achieving this is to add dramatic glitter to the look and with 15 different shades available from Fuschia (€13.95) you can add sparkle to your eyes to suit every outfit you are rocking. These great glitters can be used all over the lid or applied more subtly as a liner and don’t be limited to applying to the eyes only. Extend the glitter out towards the hairline or over the cheeks for a high impact look for New Year’s Eve that will reveal your inner party animal. Exclusively for Christmas you can pick up a stack-pot of the six most popular glitter colours, for just €15 leaving no excuse not to sparkle this season.
Thanks to style icons such as Cheryl Cole, false eyelashes have made a massive comeback, and with a selection of over 30 styles at just €15 available from Fuschia there is something to suit all tastes. These great lashes are also reusable, which means you can flutter them all Christmas long and if you have trouble applying them, Fuschia staff would be more than happy to help you out at no extra cost.
If you want to go for a classic eye look with a modern twist then the Fuschia gel liners are the perfect solution (€18.75). With six new shades and three existing shades to choose from, including Venomous and Tanzanite, the Fuschia gel liners can be applied as thick or as thin as you choose depending on the occasion or attire, giving you movie star glamour with minimum effort.
Lips
When using dramatic colours on the eyes, Fuschia always recommends keeping the lips softer to maintain a balance. Two of Fuschia’s best selling lip glosses are Lip Tube in Toffee or Wet Lip (€13.50), which give a natural look that also make lips look plump and luscious and fit perfectly into even the smallest clutch bag.
Face
For 100% flawless coverage, which lasts a minimum of 14 hours, Fuschia’s number one selling product is mineral make-up. Formulated from all natural ingredients, the creamy natural minerals brush on like a powder, leaving skin radiant and dewy. The foundation’s popularity lies in the fact that it not only conceals redness, uneven skin tones and blemishes, it actually improves the skin's overall look and feel.
For those new to mineral make-up, Fuschia do a great starter kit for €50, which includes a month’s supply of mineral foundation, rice powder, a special mineral Kabuki brush (worth €25) and blush. The real beauty of Fuschia’s mineral make-up is that it can be re-applied through the day to create a more dramatic look for night time or those all important Christmas snaps. If you are unsure of your skin colour then the Senior Try Me Kits (€60) are ideal. This great kit contains three shades of foundation (fair, medium and tan) for you to play around with to find the best colour for your skin. Fuschia products are available online from www.fuschia.ie or stocked in salons nationwide or in the brand’s flagship store in Scotch Hall Drogheda, Co. Louth.
