If the PRIVAGE foundation just isn’t enough, Elizabeth Arden have also launched the Dual End Foundation Brush (£25) to ensure your application is flawless and streak free.  One heart-shaped end applies foundation to the contours of the face, while the small tapered brush with its flattened tip at the opposite end can be used to apply and blend concealer.

Salon System are launching their very own Marvelbrow make-up collection with everything you need to sculpt and correct eyebrows, and we were lucky enough to try them ourselves.  Marvelbrow is known for its brow and lash tint, an easy two step gel made from plant extracts.  The new collection consists of pencils, wax and powders to give eyebrows a fuller and thicker look.  They also have a double-ended highlighting pencil (£3.95 + VAT), with one matte finish and the other a shimmer pencil to help shade and highlight around the brow bone.  A new alternative to their stained steel tweezers is their new product Twizzors.  These slanted scissors trim the hair instead of plucking.  When a client has sparse eyebrows it’s crucial to keep the hair they have left, making Twizzors a better product to help tidy up unwanted hairs.  They launch this Sept for £7.95 + VAT.

Marvelbrow are also offering day courses of how to sculpt, colour and correct eyebrows for beginners and for experts who want to refresh and update their skills. The course will teach various techniques on how to shape eyebrows and face shape analysis, with an introductory price of £99 + VAT for those new to brow techniques.

More details have emerged regarding Victoria Beckham’s collaboration with Estee Lauder, extending her talents into the world of make-up.  The range focuses heavily on the eyes and lips and includes, amongst others, nude-matte lip pencil, Eye Metals Eyeshadow, and Morning Aura Illuminating Crème.  Beckham has said “I was very specific about what I wanted.  It was about the must-have items that I felt everybody should have in their makeup bag, things that are really quite difficult to find because I know, I’ve searched.”  The new collection will be available, in the UK and the US from 13th September.

Illamasqua has always been a brand that has supported and encouraged individuality, acceptance and self-expression, and as part of this stance they support the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.  Created in memory of Sophie Lancaster who died in 2007 after her and her boyfriend were brutally attacked, just for looking different, the Foundation seeks to stamp out prejudice, hatred and intolerance.  In support of this, Illamasqua has created a jet black Eye Pencil (£16), and a coral shimmer Blusher (£22) in memory of Sophie, and with every purchase £1 from the Blusher and £3 from the Eye Pencil goes to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.  The donations all go to helping fund national educational workshops, aimed at teaching children and young people about subcultures, teaching tolerance and acceptance of everyone.
