This summer, Make Up For Ever is launching new colours in their popular Aqua line of products. The products are all long-wearing (even without primers) and waterproof. They are perfect for the summer because they look as amazing at the beach as on a night out on the town.
Aqua Rouge
Aqua Rouge is the full coverage long-wear lip cream that is completely smudge-proof and very long lasting. It comes with a clear gloss which you can wear if you want a glossy finish to your lips.
Aqua Rouge is probably my favourite long-wear lipstick. It is super pigmented that you only need one coat which means that you’ll get very even wear. I tried #16 which is a very vibrant colour and it just lasted and lasted for a long time. I had to reapply only after eating something greasy, and that’s obviously because any kind of oil will break down the formula – don’t use your favourite lip balm on this because the effect won’t be good. Even then, I found that the Aqua Rouge left a bit of a stain on my lips which I loved. Reapplication almost wasn’t necessary, but of course, I went ahead and did it anyway. If you have a day with pictures, this is the product to wear, because it feels comfortable on the lips and will last through a lot of smiles.
There are five new Aqua Rouge colours: #16 Fuschia, #19 Pomegranate Pink, #20 Baby Pink, #17 Bright Coral, and #18 Coral.
To go with the Aqua Rouge is the Aqua Lip lip liners. The two new shades are #19 Pomegranate Pink, and #20 Baby Pink.
Then there’s Aqua Cream which is the smudge-proof cream eyeshadow. The shades are: #52 Pearly Green Lagoon, #53 Pearly Pastel Green, and #54 Pearly Mauve.
And to go with the cream shadows is Aqua Eyes eyeliner. It doesn’t run or smudge so it’s perfect all year round, not just for the summer. The two shades are #25L Matte Brown, and #52L Pearly Green Lagoon.
Available at Sephora stores, Sephora.ca and at Make Up For Ever Boutiques.
