We’re celebrating our makeup icons with three iconic tutorials from some of the most legendary brands at MECCA – all founded by pro makeup artists. So, whether you prefer a dewy radiance à la Westman Atelier, Ellis Faas glam or the classic red of NARS, we have a look for you. Hit play!
A touch of glow with Westman Atelier
Known for skincare-infused tints and creamy cheek products, Westman Atelier delivers the dewiness of our dreams, every time.
Perhaps what we love most about this collection is how every product can be used in more ways than one – pop their Face Trace Contour Stick in your crease for an easy eye look with minimal effort.
1. Mix the Vital Skincare Complexion Drops with the Liquid Super Loaded Tint and blend.
2. Add some colour to the cheeks with the Face Trace Contour Stick and the Baby Cheeks Blush.
3. Apply a coat of the Eye Want You Mascara in Le Brun Clean and the deepest shade of the ‘Les Nudes’ Lip Suede.
Shimmer and shine with Ellis Faas
Once the secret weapon of MECCA Makeup Specialists, Ellis Faas has since become a firm favourite among our whole team – and beauty lovers everywhere.
But it’s their revolutionary eye products that are the star of this look. Metal and chrome shades are in for 2024 and Ellis Faas’ Eyelights in ‘E301’ will ensure a long-wearing, smooth finish with reflective shine.
1. Warm up the Skin Veil foundation with your fingers before applying it all over the face.
2. Apply Eyelights in E301 across your lid with your finger.
3. Add some colour to the apples of your cheeks with the Liquid Blush in S302.
A quintessential lip with NARS
NARS was one of the first brands we launched at MECCA and their iconic products (and risqué shade names) have stayed on our lips ever since.
When you think of NARS, you think bronzed skin with Laguna Bronzing Powder, a perfect flush with ‘Orgasm’ Blush and (of course) the signature red lip.
1. Sweep the Laguna Bronzing Powder under your cheekbones, along the jawline and on your forehead.
2. Apply a coat of Climax Mascara on your lashes.
3. Define your pout with the Lipstick in ‘Intrigue’.
