We know what you’re thinking. You’re wondering if Bh has been so fixated on the glamorous goings on at New York Fashion Week that we’ve forgotten all about fresh beauty news from home.
But perish the thought! We’ve had our radars tuned in and picked up buzz about some very worthy new finds indeed. Here, two of my must-haves…
Meet the superb Smudge Makeup Brush Set ($110) as designed by Sydney-based international make-up artist Fiona Corrigan-Robertson. Having worked her magic for pages as prestigious as those of Italian and UK Vogue, Fiona knows all there is about perfect pigment deposit, deft control and toting a kit across town. So what else would she craft but flawless tools for her trade? This kit slips seven essential brushes, including the ideal smoky smudge brush, inside a silver snap-stud case for ultimate portability and protection. Cleverly, the kit even comes with Fiona’s how-to guide and a video masterclass.Speaking of make-up genius, we’ve been hyperventilating since Wednesday over this news: By Terry beauty is at longest last available in Australia. Online at meccacosmetica.com.au. At our fingertips. Right this very second.
Why should you be dancing in the street?By Terry is the perfectly formed brainchild of French make-up doyenne Terry De Gunzburg. As in she who not only worked with the first ladies of Parisian beauty, the Carita sisters, and Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent himself, but created YSL’s worship-worthy Touche Eclat.
The woman’s a legend. And the By Terry line up is a cosmetic connoisseur’s dream: light-intuitive skin perfectors (try her Eclat de Teint – Colour Skin Enhancer, $152), exquisite colours (like Gloss Delectation, $70) and divine skincare (Crème de Rose, $142, is bliss).And (finally!) we no longer have to plead with jet-setting girlfriends to smuggle home loads from Sephora. Because we Down Under are absolutely in the loop too.
Take that, New York.
not tempted to try by terry. Love a good face brush though for my powder
