Australian-based makeup artist expert, Chantel Rahme has launched CR LUXURY COSMETICS. Her love for luxury cosmetics and lip focus led her to create her range of custom made gel-based lipsticks, (not rebranded or repacked) I personally created the luxury formula to represent everything iam about- each name was carefully selected to represent something iam passionate about.

After its launch in December 2015 via the online store www.chantelrahme.com, only 1 month after this launch date it has since been stocked at one of Los Angeles biggest makeup stores Nigels Beauty Emporium in North Hollywood. CR luxury lipsticks was the major sponsor for the Samer Khouzami Australian tour As well as being featured in over 13 magazines, countless newspapers, blogs, top makeup artists worldwide are using and loving them & going social media crazy over them including Katy Perry’s, jlo & Mariah Careys Makeup Artist ‘Michael Anthony’, CR Luxury Lipstick in ‘Queen Chloe’ rated number 1 best bridal lipstick for 2016.

CR Luxury Lipsticks include13 stylish high pigment shades and infused with antioxidants and moisturizers, to keep the lips soft and healthy. Composed with a creamy yet demi-matte finish, CR Luxury Lipsticks have the perfect balance of undertones therefore making them suitable for ALL skin tones with the opulent packaging, unique formula and smooth application has seen its success sky rocket.

Expanding the range CR Luxury Cosmetics, it now has 4 shades of Silk Lip liners, 6 Matte liquid lipsticks, 2 lip plumping shines have hit huge success- a further extension to the brand will be launching 2018 with some exciting revolutionary products, keeping you in trend and with the most fabulous products is our aim.

Makeup artist Rahme, designed and created CR Luxury Cosmetics range from scratch out of her desire to fill a void she often struggled with when applying makeup on her clients. This Journey in custom making the Luxury Cosmetics has taken her over 2 years to create, innovate and perfect the CR range.

Over the past 15 years in the industry, I was constantly mixing a range of lipstick tones to create the right colour and effect for different faces. I felt restricted not only by the colours available, but the limited textures which would not necessarily complement a person face due to different skin tones and structure.

The intense pigment instantly gives lips full colour and avoids having to reapply coat after coat to get the desired effect.

No one particularly has time to sit around and play with lipstick tones. CR Luxury Cosmetics Lipsticks offers you colour variety and is ideal for ladies to keep in their bags and quickly apply the perfect shade themselves,

Ms Rahme said.

Having earned her title as ‘The Makeup Expert’ due to her 17 years’ experience in the makeup industry, celebrity makeup artist Chantel Rahme knows what women want and more importantly, what they need when it comes to Cosmetics, so keeping this in mind, she created the most loved luxury brand CR LUXURY COSMETICS.

When it comes to the perfect makeup look, lips are a woman’s secret weapon. A pair of moisturised, well-defined lips, coloured in a seductive shade is guaranteed to turn heads, especially when the lips do not look weighed down. Sadly, most women choose lip tones that are either too bright or dark, hence giving them an unnatural, aged look which can also appear cakey,

Ms Rahme added.

My idea behind the red packaging? Black is black- dark toned packaging are always hard to find in your handbag so I have created this luxurious aluminum red toned packaging making life easier for the women who wants to find her lipstick quickly.

Most importantly, every step of CR LUXURY COSMETICS has been done so with LOVE, Made with LOVE, from my lips to yours.

AIRBRUSH MAKEUP – think of it as “real life Photoshop for your skin” & “the Rolls Royce of makeup”

WHY AIRBRUSH MAKEUP?

Airbrush makeup is truly the most perfect technique for achieving flawless looking skin.

While many people have the impression that the airbrush is a relatively new tool in the field of makeup, airbrushed makeup was first used in 1950 and has since developed with modern technology, with the expansion of digital cameras and HDTV, more makeup artists turn to the airbrush to take off the hard edge that pixelated images bring to skin texture. This skill is specialised and specific but with the right techniques and completed by an experienced professional, it is the “skin perfection” at its best and now it has become available to all who want the Hollywood flawless effect.

WHY AIRBRUSH IS CALLED “THE ROLLS ROYCE OF FOUNDATION”?

Though not a new technology, airbrush make-up is once again in the limelight due to the advent of evolving digital media, including Digital Photography and Hi-Definition Television. The precision application offered by airbrush make-up has two major benefits that stand up to the challenges presented to make-up artists using regular foundation application:

Full Coverage yet Sheer Texture:

A true airbrush foundation is high in coverage, but thin in texture, offering a high-opacity or full coverage application that’s dispersed as sheer and evenly as possible. The result is perfect-looking skin achieved with a minimum of product. No other technique can achieve this. Feels like you have nothing on your skin!

Refined Pattern:

The spray dot-pattern the airbrush puts down on the skin registers less on camera than the patterns and trace lines that brushes and sponges leave behind.

While other advantages include longevity generally 12-16hr wear, durability, lightweight texture and gives the “real” skin look. No heavy cover-up, the true advantage of airbrush make-up is the beautiful finished result it produces.

In the following diagram you will see examples of the different results in makeup application techniques including makeup sponge, foundation brush & Airbrush.

Makeup Sponge Makeup Brush Airbrush Method

Because of the fine misted spray, airbrush makeup provides a flawless coverage, evening out skin’s imperfections while still allowing your skin to breathe. (Yes, it’s really THAT light weight!) The final result gives you a very natural, yet very finished and polished look.

AIRBRUSH FAQS

What is Airbrush Makeup? Airbrushing is a patented makeup application technique that utilises compressed air through an “airbrush” with drops of colour to spray on a fine mist of makeup. It is the preferred technique for digital photography, high definition TV, and bridal work. Airbrushing makeup provides a camera ready velvety texture that lies on the skin in an even, misted pattern, creating the most natural finish to the naked eye.
How does it feel? Airbrush makeup is exceptionally lightweight. Most clients say they feel as if they aren’t even wearing makeup.
What are the benefits of airbrush makeup? Airbrush makeup provides flawless coverage by minimising skin imperfections. It also gives skin a beautifully natural finished result. It can be applied on anyone even men. Airbrush makeup is water resistant, tear sweat resistant.
Does it cover tattoos, scars, etc? Yes, all skin imperfections including tattoos, scars, stretch marks, and post-op surgery patients can use airbrush makeup to have those areas concealed. (POA)
Is Airbrush Makeup right for everyone? Airbrush makeup is suitable for women of all ages and every skin condition. The makeup is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. In fact “Airbrush Makeup” is the only makeup that is completely breathable.
How does Airbrush Makeup work? Drops of liquid Airbrush makeup is placed in an airbrush gun that is attached to an air compressor. The makeup is then gently sprayed over the skin releasing a mist of air together with using Chantel’s special techniques to achieve your perfect coverage. This mist covers the skin lightly (yet full coverage) and allows the skin to breath. It will leave your skin with the desired coverage without the “cake” feeling. The liquid mists lay on the surface of your skin creating a smooth, flawless finish that won’t block your pores or irritate your face. Once the liquid is applied, it begins to dry and stay on the skin’s surface. Once it dries, it is moisture and smudge resistant.
