This Months High-end discoveries is all about Trish McEvoy! I hadn't really heard of the brand until they reached out to me. Which is pretty shocking on my part considering Trish McEvoy is a world renowned Makeup artist who is dedicated to teaching women the power of makeup! Her products encompass her ethos and she has developed a whole range of brilliant products that address womens concerns! I've been testing a whole load out and I'm ready to share them with you guys...
Trish McEvoy Gentle Cleanser* | £43
This is a light cleanser that removes makeup and cleanses the skin. It has a light, gel texture that feels very luxurious. It's packed full of vitamins and skin loving ingredients to not only cleanse but hydrate the skin. This is designed to be used on even eye makeup. But I didn't find this was gentle enough, it really stung my eyes. But on the rest of my face it worked like a dream! It lathers up well and really feels like it's cleansing my face! I found this worked well as a first cleanse (except around my eyes) and as a second cleanser. After I removed it with a damp flannel my skin felt clean, but not stripped and really soft!
Trish McEvoy Beauty Balm* | £65
This is an all in one multi tasking balm, that can be used as a primer or alone. It's packed full of hydrating ingredients that leaves skin instantly looking brighter and more radiant! It's slightly tinted so it adds a bit of coverage. I love this as a primer. It leaves my skin smooth and hydrated ready for makeup!
Trish McEvoy Instant Eye lift* | £31
At first I thought this was a concealer but it's actually a corrector / treatment hybrid under eye illuminator. It has a Pink tint to counteract dark circles and the formula is light, creamy and blend-able. It does a really good job at concealing my dark circles and with a touch of concealer over the top, my dark circles are gone. It doesn't crease and wears all day!
Trish McEvoy High Volume Mascara* | £22.50
High end mascaras are not something I've really tried until this and I'm so impressed by it! It's a tubing mascara that coats the lashes in tiny little tubes. It claims to be better than waterproof - in fact it lasts 24hrs. I've not actually worn it for that long but it does stay in place until I want to remove it! The brush is actually quite small in comparison to other volumising mascaras but it catches every single lash. This isn't as volumising as I would like but it gives amazing length that looks so natural! If you like natural looking, but long lashes you will love this!
Trish McEvoy Planner* | £35
One of Trish McEvoys most famous products is the revolutionary planner. Which is a potable makeup bag that comes with customisable pages (sold separately). Each page is a small, sturdy plastic palette that houses powders of your choice. The pages are removable and the bag itself has extra side pockets and removable pouches. The bag I have is black with a beautiful quilted design on it. I've never actually had an expensive makeup bag but the quality of this is amazing! It feels and looks luxurious and works perfectly!
I have one page in mine which houses a translucent setting powder and a beautiful blush. The Blush | £16 | is a stunning Rose colour with subtle shimmers in it. It's so soft, it applies smoothly and lasts all day on me. It's so finely milled it doesn't look powdery at all on the skin. I'm actually really amazed at how beautifully this applies. I definitely want more shades. The Translucent Face Powder | £28 | Is a great setting powder. It sets all my makeup perfectly without being drying or leaving a White cast on my face. Like the blush this is so finely milled. High-end powders really do out perform drugstore ones and this one is definitely worth checking out.
Trish McEvoy Light and Lift Duo* | £54
How stunning is this duo? This little kit contains a highlighter and bronzer. The bronzer is gorgeous, it's slightly warm in tone which makes it perfect for adding warmth to the face. But it's not Orange. It has a slight shimmer to it that gives the cheeks a lovely, glowing sun kissed look. The highlighter is a classic Champagne colour that is so buttery soft. It looks more shimmery in the pan than it translates on the face. But it gives a lovely subtle glow, perfect for everyday wear. These actually remind me a lot of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders (which I love!).
Trish McEvoy 24-Hour EyeShadow and Liner* | £24
I love the convenience of shadow sticks so I was super excited by this! The Topaz is a stunning Bronze colour with Gold shimmers in it! It's super pigmented and glides on the lids with ease. Once it sets this doesn't budge! it stays in place all day with smudging or creasing! I definitely want to check out the other shades!
Trish McEvoy Eye Base* | £24
This eyeshadow primer not only primes the eyelids ready for eyeshadow but it also comes in a range of shades to cancel out any discolouration! I have the shade Bare which has slight Pink tint to it but this doesn't really translate on the lids, however it does hide my darkness and veins. Eyeshadow applies seamlessly over the top. And it really brings out the pigmentation of the shadows. It helps shadow to stay looking vibrant all day and also stops it from creasing. This is a great little product!
Trish McEvoy Intense Gel Liner* | £22
High-end eyeliners are seriously worth investing in. I find drugstore ones just don't last and this is well worth the investment! It's creamy, glides on with ease and lasts all day, even in the water line! I have the shade Deep Aubergine. Which is a stunning Purple colour. It looks really good against my Brown eyes. These are definitely worth checking out.
Trish McEvoy Ultra Wear Lip Gloss* | £23
Regular readers will know how much I'm loving glosses at the moment. And this offering has been high in my rotation. It has a non sticky formula that feels buttery on the lips. It doesn't feather or bleed on my lips. I have the shade Berry. Which is pretty sheer but build-able. It's the perfect throw on and go shade.
Trish McEvoy Perfecting Lip Balm* | £27
I swear my lips are always dry so I also welcome new lip balms into my collection! And this one is so nice. It's slightly tinted Pink for a hint of colour. The formula is so nice. It instantly hydrated my dry lips and leaves them soft and plump.
Trish McEvoy Luminzer* | £30
This is a liquid Luminizer in a pen style. It instantly adds a subtle amount of radiance whereever you want. I like to use it across my cheek bones and the centre of my face. It is very subtle and looks so natural on. It's perfect for those who like a natural glow! It doesn't disrupt my base makeup either and it wears all day!
Over all, I've really loved everything I've tried from the brand. It's actually kind of refreshing to see regular makeup (I mean that in the best way!) I feel like most makeup is based around Instagram trends rather than what is actually wearable. Trish McEvoy products are all wearable and perform amazingly. They are well worth the high-end price tag!
Have you tried any of these? What are your thoughts?
