ELES Cosmetics - Berry Crush Autumn Look

Another few products of ELES that I have added to my collection and another look added to my fav going out faces! This one by far my most favourite as it is a complete me with all the right colour tones!



Get the Look

FACE
Dewy skin takes a backseat and the look is matte and flawless. 

Conceal the under eye area and any blemishes with ELES Dual Action Concealer.  Take a small amount and pat into the skin with the fingertips.

Apply ELES Powder Foundation with a small face brush or Kabuki Brush.  Work it into the skin using firm circular movements building the layers to achieve desired coverage.

Apply ELES Mineral Blush in Mixed Berries using a large blush brush, focus the colour on the contours of the cheek blending out towards the temple.

Fill and define brows using the Brow Sculpt (shadow on left) and a small angled brush, then follow with theBrow Sculpt (wax on right) to set and define the shape.  Accentuate the arch of the brows to create a high definition shape then soften by brushing with a brow brush.


EYES
Using the ELES Fashionista Quad take the top right taupe shade and apply all over the lid to the natural eye crease.  Blend the edges for a smokey effect. Next take the darkest shade in the bottom left and work into the crease of the eye and the outer corner.  Blend well to soften the effect. 

Then take the plum shade in the lower right and apply to the outer lid, pat this into the area for more intensity and build up the colour. 

Finally take the lightest shade on the top left and apply a small amount on the inner eye area below the eye and around the tear duct area to brighten the eyes.

Apply ELES Powderliner in Copper to the lower lash line and soften and smoke out the liner with a small shadow brush.

Apply a small amount of the ELES Lush Mascara to the top and bottom lashes, wiggle the brush from the base to the tip of the lashes.  Apply only one coat as this look is soft and muted and lips play center stage.


LIPS
Using a lip brush apply ELES Micro Bubble Lipstick in Blush to the lips.  Blot with a tissue and apply a second coat to the centre of the lips to create a berry stained semi-matte effect.



I was lucky enough to be able to trial out these below products and give you my thoughts on them:
Quad Shadow in Fashionista, Mineral Blush in Mixed Berries & Powder Liner Pencil in Copper -



QUAD SHADOW IN FASHIONISTA RRP $99.00
4 silky pearlescent shades within one convenient compact, magical alone but mesmerising when they merge. Earth-derived micro-minerals produce a smoother application for longer lasting eyeshadow that is crease resistant.

Everyone knows I am a huge fan of the quads from Eles because they have all the 4 shades in their to create that smokey eye and it's completely compact to take out with you. Sorry for the used quad photos but couldn't wait to get into them.
The photo's don't do these shadows any justice as it's more of a purple colour in real life. Although when applying to your eyes they don't really show much purple - they're very sheer and luxurious shades and would have to be my fav from the quad range!




MINERAL BLUSH IN MIXED BERRIES RRP: $39.50
This revolutionary, skin-smoothing blush floats over skin to impart a soft, sheer finish while deflecting light away from flaws. Its hypoallergenic silky, satin-like formula is loaded with Vitamins A, E and C to condition and protect the skin. Free of chemical ‘nasties’ it allows skin to “breathe” freely while natural minerals shield against age aggressors.

I'm usually all for the bronzer as I'm not too much of a fan for the blush rosey cheeks but this a real middle of the shade. It wasn't too bright and it wasn't too dark like bronzer so it was the happy medium between them. I liked applying bronzer and then adding the blush to the top part of my bronzer to get that real highlighted pretty bright





Clinically formulated to provide smooth easy lining with creamy rich colour this dual-ended eye liner pencil glides over eyes without dragging or slipping, delivering a soft powdery finish that will last all day.
The unique formula contains Titanium Dioxide, a natural mineral for protection and staying power and Candelilla Wax, which provides soft and supple application


I'm not sure if you can quite pick up the powder liner pencil that I have underneath my eyes as pictured above but this is a gorgeous glitter shimmery coloured liner.
This liner is used by applying the liner and then smudging with the other end of the pencil which has a padded brush on it. The pencil just glides onto your eyes and leaves a gorgeous golden brown shade!


Eles always put together great looks for each season so be sure to keep an eye out on for more!!
