WHY SHOULD I CARE?
I’m like a make-up magpie, if I see anything sparkly and pretty, I’m sold. So, when Byredo Makeuplaunched back in October, I was desperate to get my hands on all of it.
If you’re not familiar with the brand, it’s a collboration between Byredo’s creative director Ben Gorham and make-up icon Isamaya Ffrench. Along with your regular mascara and lipstick offerings, the brand’s experimental hero is the Colour Stick – a cream-based stick of colour, to be used wherever you see fit.
Following the launch of brand, it announced another drop: the 5 Colour Eyeshadow compact. I tossed aside my Colour Stick (it is still brilliant, FYI), for this shiny new toy. A palette truly like no other, the compact is a beautiful golden shell, slightly battered so your reflection is like that of a carnival’s funhouse mirror.
