When a make-up bag packed with products from Lord & Berry arrived in the office, Marketing Exec Aleks jumped at the chance to test them. Their focus on product design and innovation is evident in their high-tech make-up line, which seamlessly fits in with outfits like any other accessory. Some subscribers will receive their Kajal Eye Pencil in their April Birchbox – Aleks used a selection from Lord & Berry’s eye wardrobe to create these three different looks:
Look 1: DAYTIME
“For day, I tend to wear printed tops and jumpers with skinny jeans and my beloved leather jacket. When it comes to make-up, I’m all about the brows – filling in any sparse areas and brush hairs up Olsen twins-style. I used the Lord & Berry MAGIC BROW in Wonderful, which has a super handy spoolie to groom on one end and a three-coloured pencil to define the other. A couple of swipes of the ALCHIMIA High Definition and Volume Mascara later and I’m good to go.”
Look 2: DINNER WITH FRIENDS
“If I have dinner or drinks planned after work, I’ll whip off my jumper, let my hair down and add some liner. I’m so smitten with the Kajal Eye Pencil – the highly pigmented kohl glides along the lash line, which I blend out with a brush – or fingers, if I’m caught short! I also push small dots of the pencil into the roots of the lower lashes to add definition, without looking like I’ve gone OTT.”
Look 3: BIG NIGHT OUT
“A Saturday night out dancing requires a killer smoky eye. This one is super intense and really easy to do. I started with the Kajal Stick, a cone-shaped stick made of intense, creamy black pigment. I ran this over half my lid and blended out the edges into the crease with a fluffy brush. I then buffed in their Seta Pressed Pure Eyeshadow in a gorgeous gunmetal grey colour over the top of – and slightly above – the liner and blended some more. Finally, I ran the kohl pencil along the lower lash line, followed by a dusting of bronzer. Job done!”
