True story: I’m a huge reader, but I couldn’t get through even one of the Fifty Shades of Grey books. They were so slow and so completely unbelievable that I just couldn’t get interested.
…so I don’t think I’ll be going to watch the movie when it comes out on February 13th…
However, I was all over Make Up For Ever’s collection of products that were curated directly from the makeup kits of the artists who worked on the movie.
What I love the most is the Tease Me sets ($38 each). Available in an Innocent/Nude Lip Trio or an Passionate/Berry Lip Trio, the sets include a lip pencil, an Aqua Rouge, and a Lab Shine Lip Gloss. The sets are designed to give you the perfect lip look: whether you’re going for something natural or dramatic.
The lip liner in the set is amazing, and I can’t believe that I didn’t already use it. It’s super pigmented, smudge-proof, and once it sets on your lips, it’s difficult to get it off. The Aqua Lip is Make Up For Ever’s version of long-wearing lip cream, and the gloss is super light and easy to wear on its own.
Apparently, the makeup department head, Victoria Down, used the lip look to show how the main character was feeling. When she wore the berry shades, she was more sultry and intriguing, and her “day” look, if you will, was the nude lip look. For the record, the Aqua Rouge 3 that’s part of the Nude lip look is the perfect nude/neutral lip colour so if you’re looking for something long-wearing that’s natural looking, that’s the way I would go.
The Fifty Shades of Grey collection also has a cheek trio that comes with an Artisan Brush ($56 for the set).
There is also a Give In to Me set that has four Artist Shadows matched with eyeliner, and hot pink lipstick and gloss ($79 for the set).
Check out the sets at Sephora now.
