The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2021 - Issue 29

PIERRE RENÉ bitebeauty Royal Lashes Mascara This hypoallergenic mascara is ideal for anyone looking for beautiful long and thick lashes free from clumps and flaking. It is infused with Panthenol, strengthening and improving lash texture, and Vitamin E to maintain healthy and more vigorous lashes. I love the black shade that can be quick- ly built up to create a dramatic effect on lashes. Eyebrow Set The Eyebrow Set, available in Brown and Black, consists of three powdered shades, one wax and an applicator, delivering a long-lasting effect. In light, medium and dark, the brow shadows are easily applied with the sponge applicator to shape, colour and fill in any gaps between the brow hairs. The wax, which is used with the brush side of the applicator, will fix the powders to give a beautiful, tidy finish look. The powder pigments are rich and compact, allowing any style of choice, from natural to the most dramatic and full-on eyebrow de- sign. It also works very well on any eyebrow colour, from very blonde to dark. I love the texture of the powders. I found it stays on well and makes my brows look fuller, while the sponge helps with precision designs. The wax provides an excellent finish, espe- cially on thick or curly brows. SUMMERTIME COMPLEXION Bronzing Sun Powder in Light or Medium Bronze This sun-kissed powder is so rich in pearl pigments that it catches the sun rays like a natural tan. The light structure of this powder is easy to blend, allowing a uniform, long-lasting application to suit light, medi- um or dark complexions. It is easy to build the shades, making it ideal for enhancing a tanned look or modelling facial contouring if desired. For best results, apply with the use of a sizeable bronzing brush or an angled contouring brush. LIPS Royal Matte Lipstick This stunning collection of lipsticks is cre- ated to fit any skin complexion and colour taste. The high pigment concentration makes rich, long-lasting lipsticks full of in- tense colour. The shades vary from the most delicate nude, vibrant reds and oranges, to the most sensual plums and deep browns. The combination of light powder particles and moisturising oils help keep lips soft and nourished while enjoying a matte finish look without it appearing dry or patchy. I love the elegant, golden encasing packaging, and in particular, its magnetic lid. I also love the array of colours. For me, my colour palettes of choice are Nude Sand, Aurora Red, and, for that special occasion, Elegance. Cover Gloss in Creme Nude With intense colour and satin finish, Cover Gloss in Cream Nude is rich and creamy. Its smooth formula delivers a long-lasting, high glossy colour without stickiness. Enriched with Argan Oil, the lips stay moisturised and soft. The Cover Gloss can be worn on top of lipstick or on its own. The colour collection offers beautiful natural shades in Blooming Almond to the most vibrant pink in Pink Yarrow, and plum in Total Rock. Loving the Brand Experience It has been a pleasure to experiment with Pierre René and their make-up products. I love the Eyeshadow Palette System because I can mix and change the colours as and when needed. The quality of the eye- shadows is brilliant; the colours are intense and workable. I love to apply colour and keep its intensity without losing its vibrancy while blending it, especially when smudge- free. I particularly love the Royal Matte Lipstick and Cover Gloss which are of excellent quality, and they both feel so smooth and moisturising on the lips. Overall, this is a fantastic brand full of vibrancy and good intentions. Make-up is fun, and when it is animal cruelty-free and offers more of a natural element in its ingredients, it makes it a brilliant one to have. www.pierrerene.co.uk PROFESSIONAL
