Rozalia began using Curtis Collection Mineral Makeup during her first pregnancy.

Rozalia’s skin became overly sensitive during this time and after searching for the ultimate makeup product, she found Curtis Collection. Not only did our mineral makeup agree with her skin, but more importantly, delivered hydration and nourishment which resulted in clear, glowing skin.

To showcase some of Rozalia’s favourite makeup looks using Curtis Collection Cosmetics, we recently collaborated with Rozalia and her incredibly talented makeup artist, Karla Roccuzzo to film 3 step by step makeup tutorials.

WINTER MAKEUP MUST HAVES

Victoria Curtis — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 03:25:36 +0000

SHADES OF WINTER

Winter is all about keeping skin hydrated, healthy and plumped. As our tan begins fade, our makeup should also change to compliment our lighter skin tones. Shades such as soft pinks, corals, mauves, rose golds, taupes and warm earthy tones will all be on trend this season. It’s all about luminous skin with a flush of colour on the cheeks that compliments our hair tones and eye colour.

As our skin does tend to loose that golden glow that it radiates in summer, it is important to select softer makeup hues to bring your features to life, rather than washing you out.

OUR TOP SHADES FOR WINTER:

LIPS

EYES

CHEEKS

WINTER GLOW:

Using a light glowy bronzer such as the Curtis Collection Illuminating Bronzer is excellent in winter as it will impart a sun kissed glow on the skin rather than a deep bronze tone. Maintaining that healthy glow is essential even through the winter months, so this bronzer is definitely a MUST HAVE!

WINTER SKIN TIP:

Keep your skin looking healthy, hydrated and glowing in winter with our must have skin illuminators guaranteed to invigorate, plump and perfect!

Curtis Collection Radiant Glow Illuminator - adds instant radiance to your complexion – mix into your foundation for an instant pick me up!
Naked Glow CC Cream – the ultimate colour corrector, skin perfector in the winter months! Boosts hydration so you don’t suffer from dry, flakey skin during the colder months – and colour corrects your complexion instantly so your skin appears flawless with minimal coverage. Added bonus SPF 20.
Hydra Primer is a must have for every complexion during winter
Naked Glow BB Cream – a full coverage foundation that primes, hydrates, covers and conceals all in one with the added bonus of sun protection SPF 30! This super hydrating formula is excellent for very dry skin types.
Airbrush Finish Mineral Concealer - for added hydration under and around the eye area, apply this wonder concealer for an instantly lifted, flawless and plumped finish!

“In order to maintain that healthy glow during winter, my top tip is to boost hydration in order to prevent skin from becoming dry and looking flat. Skin illuminators and hydrators are the best way to plump and protect your complexion during the colder months. I love the fact that all of our foundations and primers are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that nourish your skin while preventing damage from the sun and other age aggressors. My must haves – I can’t live without my Radiant Glow Illuminator and Illuminating Bronzer in Sun Goddess during the winter months! My favourite shades are Lip Velvet in Pink Truffle and Glam Lipstick in Go Nude. My go to blush shade is Baked Bronzer in Golden Goddess – I use this as my winter eye shadow too!”

MINERAL MAKEUP – THE DIFFERENCE

Curtis — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 06:19:44 +0000

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINERAL MAKEUP AND TRADITIONAL MAKEUP

We are often asked what the difference is between our Curtis Collection Mineral Foundations and traditional foundation formulas….

We like to think of our cosmetics as MORE THAN MAKEUP.

Our luxurious mineral foundations are a hybrid of skin care and makeup – imagine having all of the benefits of skin care in your makeup – plus the flawless coverage!

Our innovative collection of high performance products are designed to nourish, protect and perfect the skin while delivering flawless coverage with a soft focus, luminous glow.

COVERAGE:

The difference between the coverage and finish of mineral and traditional foundations is quite significant. The Curtis Minerals offer superior coverage due to their incredible, light reflective properties. Imagine having the best lighting on your complexion 24 hours a day! The Curtis Minerals are like wearing thousands of little mirrors on your skin that reflect and bounce the light off the skin. This plays tricks on the naked eye, so those who are looking at you can not detect the flaws or discolouration underneath. The lighting factor creates the illusion of a flawless, softened complexion. For those who suffer from redness or discolouration, by applying traditional foundation over the top, you are essentially painting your skin and mixing two colours together (the colour of the foundation with the red tone)- According to colour theory – we know that mixing two colours together makes another colour! This means that you might actually make your redness look more obvious – even worse, it could leave your skin looking brown, blotchy and uneven!

On the other hand, if we cover redness using our powerful light reflective minerals, the redness will not only be concealed, it will virtually disappear! This also applies to pigmentation, uneven skin tone and dark circles. The light reflects and deflects away from imperfections and creates the illusion your skin is even and flawless. It’s like having the perfect lighting on your skin every day!

SKIN BENEFITS:

The Curtis Collection nutrient rich formulas are infused with natures finest ingredients, guaranteed to invigorate and rejuvenate the skin and have the ability to change any complexion instantly.

PROTECT. PERFECT. ILLUMINATE. Designed to nourish, hydrate and protect the skin offering a flawless, airbrushed, signature glow

HYBRID FORMULAS combine the benefits of skin care with luxury cosmetics

LIGHT REFLECTIVE MINERALS have the ability transform any complexion instantly

MULTI MINERAL COMPLEX potassium, lysine, zinc, magnesium, sodium

ESSENTIALS VITAMINS A, C and E for antioxidant protection

SUPER HYDRATING formulas containing Hyaluronic Acid designed to deliver a plumped, youthful, flawless finish

FASTER RESULTS from your cosmetic and skin treatments

THE FINAL STEP in your skin care routine and treatment plan

FASTER RESULTS:

If you are undergoing cosmetic and or skin treatments, the investment as we know can be quite significant. In order to maximise your results, it is essential that you think about your treatment plan in conjunction with these procedures. What are you doing to ensure that your skin is going to look its very best?

The last thing you want to do is actually reverse the effects that your therapist is working hard to achieve, by using cosmetics that are preventing your skin from keeping clear and actually seeing results.

The answer, Curtis Collection Minerals! Our skin treating formulas will ensure that your skin remains, protected, hydrated, nourished and clear during and following your treatments. This means that you will see results sooner and experience optimum results from your treatments. The integrity of you skin will not only improve, it will also glow and radiate like never before. It’s a no brainer!
