“With the emerging focus on natural and organic hair care, the average women of color doesn’t cross over to green makeup choices because the sustainable cosmetic market is limited when it comes to darker shades of foundation.

Hue Beauty Collection includes:

Vapour Atmosphere Luminous Foundation to instantly transform the appearance of skin by evening tone and pigmentation, refining uneven texture, and diminishing the look of fine lines. The foundation’s luminous effects are achieved through rich mineral pigments along with a synergistic blend of antioxidants and moisture infused botanicals. Through its unique formulation, Atmosphere Luminous Foundation never settles into fine lines, but instead glides over skin, seamlessly blending with individual tone and texture for a flawless finish.

Vapour Mesmerize Eye Shimmer brings a touch of light, color and dimension to eyes. These two rich shades brighten the eyes and define lids while delivering moisturizing antioxidants to the delicate eye area. Vapour’s radiant eye shadows are infused with an eye-specific botanical blend of soothing Chrysanthemum, refreshing Eyebright and nourishing Horsetail Herb.

Mesmerize Eyeliner is a beauty breakthrough, formulated without the use of any eye-irritating chemicals, including industrial adhesives, which are commonly found in eyeliner pencils. With its creamy texture and rich, mineral-based pigment, Mesmerize Eyeliner glides on without skipping, dragging or tugging the skin for a smooth, precise line.

Solar Translucent Bronzer provides a sophisticated bronzed appearance while delivering powerful antioxidants and moisture with Vapour’s exclusive light-as-air, botanically-infused base made with pomegranate, green tea, acai berry, and calendula flower. Solar translucent bronzer creates a natural, blendable healthy glow for the face and body. Solar is more than just a bronzer, it combats the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin with vitamin-rich organic shea butter and antioxidants.

Vapour Siren Lipstick is a naturally long-wearing, moisturizing lipstick that uses an ingenious blend of antioxidants and moisture infused organic botanicals. Vapour utilizes a revolutionary all-natural co-polymer made from flash-heated plant oils to create Siren’s deeply nourishing ingredients base. This process allows for bold, beautiful pigment that locks in moisture without petroleum or polybutene-based ingredients.

Elixir Plumping Gloss offers versatile color, dimension, and shine. Hydrating botanicals and plumping liposomes lock in maximum moisture for ultra-hydrated voluptuous lips. Never sticky or tacky, Elixir delivers superior body and shine.

Availability: The Vapour Organic Beauty Hue Beauty Collection by Karim Orange is now available for $184.

Karim will be donating 5% of proceeds to organizations that empower women. Visit www.karimorange.com or www.thatgirlorange.com and www.vapourbeauty.com to view the collection.

Steven Alan: How to Get the Look using Burt's Bees, Vapour Organic Beauty and Ilia Beauty

Burt’s bees steered the make up look for the Steven Alan Fashion show. Steven Alan’s shared vision of natural beauty was the perfect complement to Burt’s Bees notion that nature is the original color expert. The likeminded brands agreed that the collection was best paired with a natural makeup look that placed full emphasis on the color of the lip.

  

   

HERE IS A BREAK DOWN OF THE LOOK: 

Step by Step:

·   Glowing, dewy skin was a critical part of the overall aesthetic and to deliver a truly ethereal glow, she prepped the skin with a Jenette Be Happy Toning Mist and applied a few drops of Burt’s Bees Radiance Serum.

·  Then, she applied a sheer wash of Vapour Organic Beauty Cream Foundation to the T-zone only using a Dermablend Foundation brush for the lightest of application. A dampened Beauty Blender was then patted over the foundation for the perfect natural looking finish.

·For luminosity and dimension, a lightly shimmer-infused sheer highlighting cream, Polkadots and Moonbeams from Ilia Beauty, was applied to the places on the face where light first reflects: bridge of the nose, cheekbones, apples of the cheeks, cupids bow and eyelids. Katey used a Vert feathery stippling brush for maximum effect and sheerest application.

·    For eyes, Katey applied no shadow or liner to keep the focus on the lip and skin. She simply curled the lashes and brushed the brows upward and at an angle to emphasize the models’ natural arch. W3ll People Brow Pigment Powder was lightly feathered into the outer 1/3 of the brow.

·  To finish the look and create the focal point Katey took the custom matched Burt’s Bees Lip Crayon and filled the models lips in with layers of color building to the desired intensity. She used her ring finger to pat a bit more color to the center of the lips for added definition.

·   Lastly, Katey applied Vapour Beauty Concealer to the under eye area to combat dark circles and around the nose to eliminate any remaining redness or discoloration.
