Colour cosmetics are a core category for Faberlic alongside the skincare it is better known for. The range covers face, eyes and lips across several product lines.
What it covers
Face — foundations, BB and CC creams, cushions, concealers, powders, blush.
Eyes — mascaras across volume, lengthening and curl effects; eyeshadow; liners; brow products.
Lips — lipsticks in matte, satin, liquid and caring formats; glosses; liners.
Named lines appear and retire with the campaign cycle, which runs roughly every three weeks. The Faberlic catalogue has current shades and availability — worth checking rather than relying on any list, since shade ranges in particular rotate.
The buying-online problem
Shade matching is the real difficulty, and it applies to two products above all.
Foundation. Match to your neck and jawline, not the back of your hand. Decide your undertone first — silver jewellery suiting you better suggests cool, gold suggests warm. Between two shades, take the lighter one and adjust with powder.
Lipstick is far more forgiving, because there is no skin to match to. Choose by undertone and by how much attention you want it to draw.
Everything else — mascara, brow products, eyeliner — is essentially shade-independent, which makes those the safest things to order without seeing.
Where to start
If you are trying the range for the first time, start with the products that cannot go wrong:
- Mascara. No shade matching, immediate effect, and the range is organised clearly by effect
- A lip product in a shade near your natural lip colour
- A brow product
Then foundation once you know how the shade naming runs.
What no makeup range fixes
Base makeup sits on the skin you have. Persistently uneven texture, dryness or breakouts show through any foundation, and heavier coverage makes it more obvious rather than less.
The skincare underneath does more for how base makeup looks than the base itself — which is not a sales point, just how it works.
Practical note
If you find a shade that suits you, note the exact name and code. Campaign rotation means it may not be available next cycle, and "the pink one from last year" is not enough to find it again.
