Following the huge success of his salon-exclusive hair range, hair and make-up master Hannon Bothma introduces a professional and hypoallergenic make-up range - Hannon Faces.
“My intention was to create a range capable of having the staying power and coverage necessary for film and photographic work, but also suited to being applied with a lighter hand for everyday use by the girl on the street,” says Bothma.
The range is the perfect balance of quality and sex appeal. It offers the most flattering of colours in funky, disco-inspired packaging and the latest technology and ingredients, at a surprisingly attainable price.
Hannon Faces will be available from approximately 200 selected hair and beauty salons across the country, where a Hannon-trained hair and make-up specialist can make you over and advise you on the products best suited to your needs.
The launch collection comprises of:
Two Way Cake Foundation, R150, a matte powder compact that can be transformed into a creamy, full-coverage foundation by simply dampening the sponge. It is light-reflector-free, ensuring that you won’t have a white face in photographs and added anti-red agents mean you can lose that green colour correction stick.
Because Hannon prefers a look that’s more sexy sun goddess than rosy-cheeked and innocent, he brings you Sun Kiss Blusher, R130, a two-tone compact to be used more like a bronzing powder than your traditional blusher. Combine the hues by sweeping the brush over both and apply to the areas of your face that the sun touches first. Or brush over eyelids for a subtle eye shadow look.
Hannon’s Cosmetic Gel Pencils, R75, are unlike traditional kohl liner in that they will neither flake nor irritate, but rather glide on smoothly, giving a translucent effect that makes them adaptable to anyone’s colouring. Simply smudge and blend for a less dramatic look. Available in conventional black and brown, as well as a white for applying to the inside of the eye for the illusion of bigger and brighter peepers, and a deep purple for a dazzling night time eye. The Taupe eyebrow pencil is perfectly suited to all and the Natural lipliner can adapt to everyone’s natural lip colour. Use as lip liner or as an all-over lip shade that will enhance your lip tone, bringing out the colour that naturally suits you best.
The Colour Blend Lipsticks, R80, are not only super-moisturising and long lasting but, more importantly, lead-free. They come in four shades - Berry, Mink, Hollywood and Rosebud - that contain equal quantities of warm and cool pigments to enable them to transform to suit every skin colour.
Candy Sugar Lipgloss, R75, is a silicone-based gloss that ensures plump and juicy lips.
Day to Night Eye Shadow, R130, is a four-colour palette that can be used to create both a subtle day look as well as a glammed-up one for big nights out. The pink-purple pigment of this quad has been especially chosen to complement all eye colours.
Always on the look out for the perfect mascara, having come across so many of the brittle protein-enriched variety, Hannon was intent on having an exceptional one as part of his range. Super Lash Mascara, R130, is exactly that. It’s Latex formula coats lashes in liquid plastic, making it like brushing on a flexible pair of falsies. The Latex can be melted with heat so will slide off easily with a warm facecloth. Available in black only.
Moisture Seal, R90, is the unique, must-have product of the range. Spray it on directly after applying your make-up to set and seal for up to ten hours. It also prevents moisture loss, protects skin from pollution, has a tightening and firming effect and contains light reflectors and micro-mirrors to make skin glow.
