Choose Beautiful

As part of its "Choose Beautiful" campaign, Dove visited five cities around the world (San Francisco, Shanghai, Delhi, London, São Paolo) and presented two entrance options for women based on how they view themselves. People could walk through the door labeled "Beautiful" or enter through the "Average" door.

At first, most of the women choose the average pathway, but as the video progresses, more and more women work up the courage to take the beautiful route.

One woman who chose the "Beautiful" door describes the experience as "quite a triumphant feeling. It was like telling the world, 'I think I'm beautiful.'"

Who knew the simple task of choosing an entrance could be so empowering? Watch the video for yourself below.

Lip Service

Marie Claire, April 2015

Marie Claire published "Lip Service" in their April 2015 issue.  The article translated color physiology into our everyday lipstick choices.  

"Researchers showed 2,375 people images of nine different women wearing six different shades of lip color.  The participants then made spot evaluations of the women's personalities, rating attributes like how creative, reliable, and professional they seemed."

We have summarized Lip Service into a short synopsis of what we learned:

---

Job Interview: Plum

Plum is a unique combination of power and warmth, making people look professional and ambitious.

First Date: Nude or Plum

People look for loyalty and attractiveness during a first date.  People wearing nude or plum shades were seen as the most reliable and attractive.

Work Brainstorm: Nude

Nude lip colors will win them over!  Wear nude to come across as a collaborative, caring, and open.

Fiance's Family Reunion: Pink

Pink is associated with looking sociable and fun loving.  This is the perfect color when meeting people in a social setting.

Major Presentation: Red

Wear red to steal the show.  Red shows you are a leader and expert in your field.  It also signifies that you are someone who takes risks, and is creative.

FINALLY! Oribe Fragrances

Available at the Timothy Pamment Salon

When Oribe was first developed, we set out to elevate the hair category throughperformance, packaging and scent. The facets of our bottles, the carton paper and, most importantly, the fragrance were inspired by the beauty and sophistication of fine perfume.

To create our signature perfume-grade scents, we worked with the world’s finest French fragrance houses and after exploring several iterations that work for men and women alike, two fragrances stood above the rest which embody glamour, sex and fashion in a bottle.

Fragrance has always been a part of Oribe's DNA. These signature perfume-grade scents work for men and women alike, and embody glamour, sex and fashion in a bottle.

Vogue Paris: Ellis Faas’ Beauty Exhibition

Cult make-up artist Ellis Faas has a secret passion: photography. As a teenager, she accumulated self-portraits, which sharpened her passion for make-up and the art of transformation. This spring, her vintage photos are being sold at the Makeup Show exhibition in Los Angeles. We meet Ellis, in an exclusive interview for Vogue.fr.

                           Lipdrip by Ellis Faas

What is your relationship with make-up and photography?

I always wanted to be a photographer, but when I started, my love for color took over. I was 18 when I decided to be a make-up artist and at 19 years old I left to study with Christian Chauveau in Paris. Today, my two passions are intertwining even if now I only take the odd inspiration shot. In this photo, I concocted a glycerin-based texture in my kitchen to enhance gloss finish. We could never sell this texture, I used it at theSonia Rykiel show in Paris and we couldn't allow the models to eat or even smile while they were wearing it. Not ideal!

                 The retro black and white by Ellis Faas

What is the story behind this self-portrait?

This image and the following one will be part of a college made for my Makeup Show exhibition in Los Angles, entitled "Selfies from the Seventies". At the time, self-portraits took a lot more effort than they do today, we had to press the timer, run into place, pose and then wait days for the result. These selfies ignited my passion for make-up. But, sorry, they are not for sale...

                         Chinese Opera by Ellis Faas

Do you continue to practice the art of the selfie?

I still sometimes take self-portraits, but only for press or to illustrate articles, I'm bored of my face. Selfies are all over the place and I find it very narcissistic. If I take one, then it is with the people I love and for my own memories, not to be shared with the world.

               Eclipse (Makeup 5 years)  by Ellis Faas

Do you still illustrate your own products yourself?

Yes, it interests me. I took this picture at the launch of my Hot Lips lipstick line in 2013 (which has since become an international hit NDLR) Here, I have usedBright Fuchsia L403, the image is a visual to illustrate my brand, obviously not to be replicated at home, but just as an inspiration that I hope reflects a notion of boldness and creativity.

                   La rose dans la bouche by Ellis Faas

What is your favorite product for photo-ready radiance?

Recently, I launched Glow Up, a line of three powders. The particles are so fine, they look more like porcelain than glitter. They help create a natural halo for photos, apply to the parts of the face where the light hits: the cheekbones, the curvature of the nose, Cupid's bow and collarbones, to emphasize the bone structure for a radiant and natural glow. In this image, I wanted to translate the idea of the mask in a beauty shot. The pink lips are just for fun!

 

Do you have a particular beauty routine?

My beauty routine is simple. I have a love-hate relationship with sport, I only do it because I have to and it's important, yoga suits me best and I am conscious to eat healthy food and drink gallons of water. But I must admit that I only recently stopped smoking and I also love vodka! So, as a moisturizer, I use coconut oil, I wash with bi-carbonate of soda and I use Eve Lom products on my face.

 

I only use my own make-up products. Seriously, they are honestly quick and easy to use! This face chart is my personal look, a new selfie designed just for Vogue.fr.

Ellis Faas Icon Gallery, Makeup Show, March 28 and 29, California Market Center, 110 E 9th St, Los Angeles. Ellis Faas will give a talk on her style, Saturday March 28 from 1:30pm to 2:30pm www.themakeupshow.com
