We Love...
We’ve
got a serious crush on our vibrant shades, like the bold, pearly
peacock hue of Something Blue 510 P, the vivid pearlescent purple of
Blueberry Night 405 P and the deep intensity of Moonlight Kiss 015 M.
Come find your favourite, for eyes that pop with cutting-edge colour.
THE HEART INSIDE
Our
Colour Crush Eyeshadows benefit from a blend of Community Fair Trade
Brazil nut oil, marula oil, honey, organic virgin coconut oil and sesame
oil. Our community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil comes from the Candela
co-op in Peru. The ‘castaneros’ or nut gatherers collect the broken nuts
that can’t be sold for food use and hand-crack them to extract the oil.
Trade has helped to protect 3,000 hectares of rainforest in the Madre
de Dios region. Sustainable harvesting also helps to support the
indigenous species that depend on the Brazil nut tree, such as the
orchid bee.
100% CRUELTY-FREE
We’ve
worked hard to ensure that our Colour Crush collection features the
most intensely vibrant, fashion-driven shades whilst remaining
vegetarian and 100% cruelty free, like all our products.
Colour
Crush does not contain any bug shell extract to colour the product, any
shimmer effect is made from mineral mica and the binding agents are
made from natural vegetable materials instead of crushed shellfish.
Because our love for animals includes bugs, insects and other creepy
crawlies.

Backstage Secrets
Lan Nguyen-Grealis, Head make-up artist for the Fashion Scout, home of new talent and the largest independent event during London Fashion Week, is loving the colour crush collection. She shares her backstage secrets to getting spring/summer 2013’s intense eye-looks.
WHAT MAKEUP LOOKS ARE HOT ON THE CATWALK THIS SEASON?
“This
season, eye-looks are bold and vibrant in pigment colour. Statement
eyes are a must. The new range of Colour Crush eye colours is great to
use - the shadows glide on easily and last a long time, which is ideal
for show work. All the colours work really well for this season’s
trends.”
WHAT MAKES COLOUR CRUSH SO EASY TO WORK WITH?
“The
Colour Crush shades are simple to apply directly on to the eye area,
you can layer on as much as you please. The colours look different
depending on how much you apply, which is great to get tonal graduation.
From dark to light is easy to achieve without having to blend too
much.”
WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT COLOUR CRUSH?
“Every
colour you see is exactly the colour you get when you use it. The
biggest surprise is how vibrant the colours are and how some unusual
tones can look amazing on the eyes, such as Chat-Up Lime and Something
Blue.”
WHAT ’S YOUR FAVOURITE SHADE IN THE COLOUR CRUSH RANGE?
“My most favourite shades this season, for versatility and for everyday use, are Moonlight Kiss and Caramel Flirt.”
THE BRIGITTE SUPER FLICK
Lan says: “The Brigitte Super
Flick was created for Ekaterina Kukhareva for her SS13 collection.
“Goddess in St. Tropez” was the theme, taking inspiration from the 60’s
fashion icon Brigitte Bardot. The mood is happy, care free, glamorous
and sexy. Eyes headline the look as bright colours take on a geometric
shape with a super flick set against a canvas of flawless skin.”
Step One
Using
the Slanted brush, sweep the new Colour Crush in shade 510 Something
Blue along the lash line, starting at the inner corner of the eyes and
finishing with a flirty, 60’s flick past the outer corners.
Step Two
Take
the Eyeshadow brush, dampen it for even more intense colour and apply
more eyeshadow all over the eye-lids, up to the crease of the eye.
Step Three
Highlight brows and open the eyes by running the new Colour Crush in Shade 001 Sugar Gaze along the brow bone.
Step Four
Curl lashes and apply two coats of The Body Shop Define & Lengthen Mascara in 01 Black, to the top lashes only.
GET A FLAWLESS COMPLEXION
To
create a naturally flawless complexion, apply Oil Free Balancing Liquid
Foundation using the Foundation brush and blend well for seamless, even
coverage. Use the Radiant Highlighter on the highest points of the face
– forehead, temples and cheek bones, down the centre of the nose,
across the cupids bow of the lip and onto the chin – blending well, to
create a luminous finish. For a fresh, rosy glow, smile and sweep
All-in-One Cheek Colour in 04 Marshmallow onto the apple of the cheeks,
blending to a sheer wash of colour.
