The Face Shop Face It Oil Cut line is made up of a powerful trio of powder compacts, foundation, and pore concealers. The products control excess sebum and have a long-lasting light, matte finish. Armed with mung bean, birch tree and rumex crispus extracts, the line is perfect for acne-prone skin.
The Face Shop Face It Collagen Ex Two-Way Cake is a breakthrough product that glides evenly onto skin and promotes an ultra-smooth complexion. It’s a buildable foundation that conceals fine lines, pores, and dark circles.
The Face Shop’s Phytogenic Infinite line is infused with anti-bacterial, vitamin C-enriched green tea to prevent inflammation and keep skin clean and clear. Gingko extracts calm the skin and promote blood circulation and collagen production.
For eyes, Face It Styling Auto Gel Liner and Face It Artist Touch Shadow are easy-to-use products that define the eyes.
The Face Shop’s Black Label lipstick line has made it to cult-favorite status because of its vibrant colors and moisturizing texture — the Sherbet Touch System melts with one’s body temperature for a kissable, moist look.
