Kevyn Aucoin Beauty

Last week marked the tenth anniversay of the untimily death of one of the worlds most influential make-up artists Kevyn Aucoin.  I first discovered the magic of Kevyn Aucoin when I was bought his best selling book Face Forward as a present, still my favourite make-up book.   He had the most amazing career in make-up and was a favourite amongst the a listers which included Madonna, Whitney Houston, Julia Roberts to name but a few.    He even had a cameo on the fabulous Sex and the City -  the episode where Carrie falls down the catwalk!  If your as big of a fan of SATC as me you will know which episode I mean.

Before Kevyn passed away he had started working on his own brand - Kevyn Aucoin Beauty.  This amazing make-up brand is now available in the UK at Space NK.  I managed to get my hands on it last year while I was in New York, think I nearly fell into the counter in Bergdorf Goodman when I spotted it.

Here are what I think are the must have products from his range!

The Precision Brow
This is my favourite brow product at the moment, it comes in the form of a retractable pen-like applicator and is made from the thinest lead available.  Its great for filling in, shaping and defining brows to create a natural looking brows or a more dramatic brow.

The Sensual Skin Enhancer

This is a multi tasking product that was created to mimic the appearance of health radiant skin.  Basically this product will work for anyone, it can be used all over the skin to give a medium to full coverage foundation or just around eyes and blemishes as a concealer.  For a more natural look you can mix it with a moisturiser, which will give you the look of a tinted moisturiser.

The Mascara - Volume

If you are after ultra dramatic lashes this is the mascara for you.  It works quite differently from other mascaras, the volumizing formula wraps each lash hair in a blanket of pitch black liqid for lashes.  It has a tiny brush that allows you to get right to the roots of the lashes.

The Celestial Powder - Candlelight

This is another multi purpose product, that provides subtle ultra-light shimmer.  It looks stunning applied to the forehead, tops of cheeks, temples, eyes and decollete.  

There are lots more gorgeous products in the range, for the full range take a look at the Space NK website!
