Summer Lips and Ellis Faas’ Makeup Not War Campaign

Posted on by Katrina Hess Makeup Studio

I love makeup with a cause. One of my favorite lines, Ellis Faas, has launched the Makeup Not War Campaign, which helps children affected by armed conflict.

Since the opposite of war is love, and kissing lips are the symbol of love, Ellis Faas launched a “limited edition” lipstick. For each lipstick sold, War Child is able to give a child in a zone of conflict a safe haven for three months!

The shade is a Pink Coral, packed with pigment and extremely long-wearing, so you can kiss and kiss and kiss. The hue is a fabulous color for summer  and its long lasting properties take it from the pool or beach right into sunset.

You can learn more about the Makeup Not War campaign here and here; #kisstomakeupnotwar

A Spring Look that Shimmers by Ellis Faas

I love this Spring look by Ellis Faas.

The artist used Creamy Eyes E128 on the eyelid, added a sheen with Creamy Lips L109, and then made it pop with Eyeliner E501. For the lips, she used Creamy Lips L105, and for the cheek, Blush S304.
