Beau Nelson’s Beauté Cosmetics

***Best Beauty Gifts***

When I first met Beau at a recent beauty event, one of his assistants judiciously revealed that Beau had just done Iman’s makeup for Project Runway Canada. I literally gasped because I simply L-O-V-E Celebrity Beauty Match Pick Iman and I’ve admired her since the first time I saw her on the cover of a glossy brochure for Yves Saint Laurent makeup. That statement quickly established Beau’s reputation as a makeup artist. Obviously, this only made discovering his new line of lip volumizer glosses that more intriguing.

I was quite curious to understand why Beau Nelson had focused on lips. His answer definitely indicated how much Beau valued the feedback his clients provided: “Beauté Cosmetics actually started with brushes, which to me are the most essential item for a woman to own. The right brushes provide a way for women to simplify the steps involved with creating a professional finish with their makeup, and these brushes in particular were designed with ease of use and purpose in mind. We then created the Luminous volume gloss in response to customer research, as our research team discovered that there was a great need and want for a gloss that plumped instantly, but also gave long term volume, collagen and moisture benefits.”
Along with making natural beauties like Iman even more beautiful, Canadian makeup artist Beau Nelson has also been making a name for himself in New York and LA because of his unconventional approach to beauty: he was designing theatrical make-up by fourteen, winning awards for his fashion make-up design by sixteen and at eighteen heading up the fashion show make-up team for Holt Renfrew.

If you like the concept of a lip gloss, but you hate the sticky finish some other brands leave on your lips, you might want to switch to Beau’s Luminous Volume Gloss. These glosses glide on as a smooth non-sticky gel and provide a satin finish that feels more like a moisturizing lipstick than a lip gloss. Along with benefiting from the hydrating characteristics of a lip gloss, you get the advantage of a lip plumper … all in one tube.

Beauté lip glosses retail for $26. You can find them exclusively at Holt Renfrew in Canada. For U.S. and U.K. point of sales, contact Beauté Cosmetics’ customer department.
