About our makeup range

As a professional make up artist Victoria has worked with the very best products available. When it came to choosing a range of products to work with in her own salon she chose Royal effem without hesitation. Why?

Royal effem encompasses all of the best qualities of a cosmetic brand. In my professional opinion, there is not a high street brand that comes close to the quality of these products. As a make up artist I need products that are easy to work with, a range that contains all of the essential, key products that I require and most importantly I need cosmetics of an incredibly high standard that will stand the test of time. It is an added bonus that I am able to offer the products to my clients to purchase; with so many other professional products this is simply not possible.

You will find all of the necessary 'bits and pieces' to create a basic but highly effective make up collection for use at home, with the knowledge that they are exactly the same products that I use professionally. You don't need hundreds of products to fill your dressing table drawers to the brim to create beautiful make up, you simply need a small collection of the right products. Royal effem have their main range which is always available, and only launch two seasonal collections each year, containing seasonal colours, glosses and varnishes. Once you have the bare essentials you can treat yourself to seasonal extras to adapt your look if you chose to.

I often work with photographers who do not enhance or alter their images, and it is very easy to create beautiful, flawless skin and make up that looks fabulous in photographs, even in extreme close up. It is easy to wear, light on the skin and many clients who have never worn make up before love the fact that you can't feel it on your skin.

Generally with make up you do not get what you pay for. You get brand names and shiny packaging with poor quality products inside. With Royal effem you get far more than you pay for; high quality products, ingredients that care for your skin, beautiful packaging and cosmetics that work.

I am constantly offered many of the brands that I have used over the years for professional purposes, but I can honestly say that I would not consider using anything else. It is a testament to the products that all of the staff at Elle Vie uses them, I wore them myself on my wedding day and so did 35 of my guests!

We have the utmost confidence in Royal effem and we are always pleased to offer complimentary trials for make up to our clients. You try on a dress before you buy it and it should be the same with your make up, after all you will wear it all day, every day and so you should be satisfied before you make a purchase.
