Pantone, the colour mixing company have announced the colour for the year 2019 as “Living Coral”

The Gorgeous people at The Publicity Loft have shared their top picks of Coral/Peachy tones we can add to our make up bags.

Personally I always have Coral/Peachy tones in my kit to warm up cooler complexions, even the dullest of skins can benefit from a warm hue of the wonder that is coral!

Even if you’re not a fan of peach or Coral you’d be quickly converted but a little coral blush lightly applied to the top of your cheekbones giving you a pop of colour and a youthful glow to your skin.

Still not a fan, pop some Coral/Peach lipliner,Lipstick or Lipgloss on to get the look in a more subtle way.

Nourishing Summer Beauty with CATRICE COSMETICS

Leave a reply

While we hope the summer sun stays around, it can really take its toll on our bodies. Exposure to harmful UV rays and heat dehydrates the body and can lead to noticeably dry skin, hair, lips and nails. This calls for a little TLC from Catrice Cosmetics!

Summer is best time to embrace that au-natural glow – nourish, revitalise and achieve this healthy look with some essentials from Catrice Cosmetics, available from Penneys stores and pharmacies nationwide now.

Here are just a few nourishing summer beauty essentials by Catrice:

For nourished Skin…

Catrice Prime & Fine Nude Glow Primer, €4.95
Radiate your skin with the latest primer from Catrice which acts as the perfect base for foundation or can simply be worn on its own for a natural glow, the hottest beauty trend right now! The formula is enriched with nourishing pomegranate oil and contains light reflecting pigments for an instant healthy sheen. The result is a soft focus finish, a silky smooth complexion and minimised appearance of skin irregularities.

 

For nourished Eyes…

 

Catrice Sensitiv’Eyes Volume Mascara, €4.95

This new mascara gives ultra-volume and ultra-black look thanks to high-purity pigments. The mascara has been opthalmologically tested and is suitable for sensitive eyes and those who wear contact lenses. Formulated with argan oil and panthenol ingredients the texture is long-lasting, easy to remove and has a pampering effect! A nourishing product with no compromise on performance…

 

 For nourished Lips…

 

Catrice Prime and Fine Multitalent Lip Scrub & Balm, €4.50

Say goodbye to dry chapped lips (which are almost unavoidable in the summer sun) with this 2in1 lip hero that combines a fine lip peel with a gentle caring balm. Natural cherry pit particles gently remove dead skin flakes while valuable ingredients like apricot oil and shea butter provide pampering care. The Scrub & Balm perfectly preps lips so lipstick glides over the lips smoothly for a flawless look.

 Catrice Lip Cushion, €5.50

Comfort, colour and care all in one – we’re head over heels for with the Lip Cushion collection! Available in 6 shades, this creamy lipgloss contains avocado oil for extra nourishment and a supple texture. The ultra-soft jumbo sponge applicator allows soft and easy application of the medium-pigment gloss.

 

 For nourished Nails…

Catrice 9in1 Nail Elixir, €3.50

The 9in1 Elixir contains nine selected ingredients with caring properties: vitamin A + E, pro-vitamin B5, jojoba and grape seed oil, aloe vera extract, lemon oil, camellia oil and sunflower seed oil. The elixir can be worn alone for beautifully groomed nails or applied as a base coat. It is fast-drying, strengthening, prevents discolorations and chipping, seals, fills ridges, revives the healthy shine of the natural nail and offers protection. What else would your nails need?!

Get The Look, Cover Shoot for Confetti Wedding Magazine

This shoot cover was a challenge as the studio and make up room were so hot. One model had a slight reaction to make up and one model was over heating but I think you’ll agree it all worked out in the end and the result is a gorgeous Magazine cover.

I used everything from Blank Canvas Cosmetics including:

  • Pippa Palette
  • Master Series One Palette
  • Contour cream palette 
  • Powder contour palette
  • Brushes

Lashes were from my favourite BABYDOLL Cosmetics 

Nails were manicured and gelish applied by the talented and funny Michele Burke

The Foundation I used was Make Up For Ever HD


Hair was styled to perfection by the hair maestro Glen Cullen assisted by the selfie king Cian Kavanagh.
