Earlier last week, I’ve got an email from the beautiful Alexandra – professional make-up artist that works at Madison Luxury Perfumery. Madison is one of the most amazing places to shop for makeup, skincare and fragrance in Bucharest. But that’s a whole other story!

Since Tuesday, the 18th of February was the date of a special event – 10 years anniversary of By Terry’s Baume de Rose, they had a special guest: the international make-up artist for By Terry, Sophie Killian. So Alexandra asked me if I want to come… I confirmed my presence in less than 2 seconds, as you can easily imagine!

I couldn’t wait for Tuesday to come! And when I arrived there was instantly mesmerized. The atmosphere was warm, with slow music in the background and Sophie working her magic. Alexandra greet me and offered me a coffee and some appetizers, then she showed me around; this is how I found out the history behind the brand By Terry – that I shared with you in my previous post.

Then, Sophie was kind enough to perform a personalized makeup session on me. ( Imagine the excitement! )

Here is a list of the products she used on me:

– first of all, Alexandra prepared my face by cleansing it with By Terry Pureté De Rose Refreshing Cleansing Gel

– then she applied a base Cellular Rose ® Brightening CC Lumi Serum, in no 3 – Apricot Glow ( love at first sight )

– foundation: Sheer – Expert Foundation, in #07 – Vanilla Beige

– for lips – contour: Crayon Lèvres Terrybly, in #02 – Rose Contour and the Rouge Terrybly Lipstick, in #404 – Carnal Attraction

– blush: Hyaluronic Blush, in #03 – Bubble Glow

– eyes: Ombre Blackstar in #14 – Blue Obession and the Crayon Kohl Terrybly, in #01 – Black Print;

– mascara: Terrybly #01 – Party – Pris

– eyebrows: Crayon Sourcils Terrybly, in #02 – Ash Brown

The brushes Sophie used to apply the makeup, were: Pinceau Teint Précision #6, Pinceau Joues-Biseau #3, Pinceau Levres Rétractable Précision #7, Pinceau Sculpteur Biseau #1 and Dome #3.

Everything Sophie used to do this makeup look is available online at Madison, ByTerry website and at my favourite online beauty shop SpaceNK.

And here is the final result… A sultry night makeup face, with blue smoky eyes and dark lips. I loved it to death! So much that I even dare to post a close up of this look, after a few hours of being out in town with the girls!…

– I know I look tired here, but bare with  me!… Point is the makeup was still in place, even after all that time… I’ve only reapplied the lipstick!

See you soon, beautiful!

My experience with BY TERRY at MADISON LUXURY PERFUMERY – Part 1: DISCOVERING LA “FEMME” BEHIND THE BRAND

brand, By Terry, France, french, ingredients, makeup, natural, skincare

By Terry is a French brand that proposes cosmetics and fragrances based mostly on natural ingredients, like rose and lavender extracts from Provence, France. It proudly wears the name of its founder, Terry de Gunzburg, the woman who said about her makeup line: ” I want to be the iPhone of makeup “.

– TERRY DE GUNZBURG

Born in Egypt, Terry grew up in Paris and was attracted by beauty in any form and shape even sine she was young. That’s why she avoided to step into her father’s shoes, and instead of becoming a doctor she chose to go for architecture. But before her classes started she followed a summer class at the Carita Beauty School.  While she passed her final exam she got noticed, and so she got her first job for Vogue magazine, the french issue. It was 1977.

This was the launch of her career as a freelance makeup artist. Soon she will do the makeup of the beauties of the moment: Cathrine Deneuve, Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall. And the rest is history! Covers of the best selling magazines, she got to work with Helmut Newton, makeup for fashion shows… Terry was preferred because of her clean “techniques” of layering makeup, that made everyone look natural and flawless.

It was the 1985 when, after a non-conventional interview, she got the dream job at Yves Saint Laurent where she stayed for 15 years. During this time she created the most beautiful red lipstick 100% pigment and a few cult products as the YSL Touche Éclat ( 1992 ), other iconic products including Teint Singulier, Sheer Powdercreme Veil and the cult-favorite Volume Effet Faux Cils mascara.

In 1998 she decided to take faith into her own hands once again, and to launch her own company: By Terry. The top-selling products are: Mascara Terrybly, Light-Expert (a reprisal of her original Touche Éclat formula in foundation form), and Baume de Rose regenerating lip salve – that has taken over the beauty world.

And more By Terry products are yet to be discovered, including an amazing skincare line…

See you soon, beautiful!
