One of the fastest growing US beauty brands is now available in the UK. The place to start? Their complexion range.
Our relationship with make-up has either been non-existent or ritualistic recently. But, either way, fellow beauty obsessives will be familiar with the desire to keep your make-up bags stocked at all times. And one of the staples of this kit? The mighty foundation, of course.
But, finding the right foundation and concealer can be a lengthy process. While getting the exact texture and finish that suits you is always important, looking for a product that suits your skintone can take up the most time.
This is where US brand, IL MAKIAGE comes in. Created in 2018 by brother and sister duo Oran Holtzman and Shiran Holtzman-Erel, it’s become the second fastest growing ecommerce brand in the US. From blusher, bronzer and highlighter to liquid lipsticks, there’s a lot on offer. And today they’ve openened their waitlist in the UK.
But the product that really put them on the map? Their Woke Up Like This Foundation, £36. Coming in 50 shades and infused with moisturising vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, it’s the most reviewed beauty product in the US. With a natural matte finish, the formula is really lightweight, and has buildable coverage from medium to full.
