Ellis Faas - Sandra Govers

Ellis Faas, who died far too early in 2020, was one of the most creative and
inspiring make-up artists. She was a household name in international make-up artistry for years; it is not without reason that Vogue Paris called her one of the most influential make-up artists of her generation. The philosophy behind the ELLIS FAAS brand is based on a revolutionary concept regarding colours, design and packaging. The colors are based on the colors that naturally occur in the human body: Human Colours®. From the red blood in your veins to the brown birthmark; All kinds of colors are represented in this collection. From foundation to eye shadow and lipstick, all color elements can be found in the body. This special element ensures that the products are suitable for every skin type and age. Every color suits every face because the color also occurs naturally in the body. Which color is ultimately chosen is more a matter of taste than of 'match'. They are timeless colors that will never go out of fashion. The brand's message continues to be based on the philosophy of Ellis Faas, who said: “I don't come with a different color every season. That's nonsense. My work as a make-up artist has made me appreciate the natural beauty of the human body. If I want to change it, then only with colors that already exist in the body, such as the ocher yellow of an old bruise or the turquoise blue of veins.” All ELLIS FAAS products are liquid and come in so-called balls. Convenient for storage; because most of the human body is made of water, makeup is liquid. Part of the philosophy is that this blends better with the skin than a solid product.
