What makes your cosmetics different from others?
I identified a niche in the market that had not yet been explored. While makeup artist brands changed the landscape of the cosmetic industry by offering the "right shades" to consumers they'd done little to raise the bar in terms of formulations. I've been fortunate enough to assemble an incredible team of private chemists that can formulate my product concepts in the most exquisite way, only using very high end ingredients.
Our unique formulations such as 70% triple seaweed gel foundation (containing three types of organic seaweed and a 70% hydration level), Bermuda Triangle undereye concealer (containing exclusive ingredient Nylon-12), Triple C-weed whipped foundation and loose powder (containing three types of organic seaweed, Vitamin C, gentle chamomile oil and green tea) and the Eye Intensifier Pencil (containing Nylon-12) take product development to a whole new level.
Do the Foundations contain sunscreen?
Yes, SPF 10. I prefer not to increase that coverage as it thickens the formulations and they can appear heavy and old-fashioned. I prefer to offer women a lightweight, modern coverage and leave it up to them as individuals to increase or decrease their sunscreen coverage.
Are the lipsticks long-lasting?
No - I don't believe in a long-lasting lipstick formula as the long-term effects are drying and the "drying" ingredients tend to dull the color. I think a lush, slightly moist matte finish is very beautiful, feels wonderful on, and the accompanying long-lasting lip liner tends to add longevity without drying.
Are the products hypo-allergenic?
Yes.

Does the foundation have oil?
The Triple C-weed Whipped Foundation and 70% Triple C-weed Gel Foundations are oil free.
Are the products Australian made? If not where from?
Wherever the best resources are located with relation to each product category. This could mean ingredients and or the knowledge and experience of chemists, specialized in their fields ie: Japan, Germany, Canada and the United States.

Is the range only for young skins?
We have customers of all ages. Our customer is well-traveled and makeup-savvy - looking to take care of their skin and add some sheer, vibrant color to their makeup.
How long does the foundation last?
The shelf life is at least two years. The actual application lasts at least 12 hours but all formulations are modern, lightweight and layerable, meaning you can "touch up" right over the top without creating a heavy appearance. So if you require a heavier coverage, you can either choose the Triple C-weed formulation (medium to full coverage) or simply "layer" the other formulations over a dusting of powder.
