If you were probably born in the 90s, then you might not know who Vincent Longo is. Back then, along with Francois Nars and Kevyn Aucoin, he was one of the leading global makeup artists, working with some of the biggest names is fashion at the time, include the big Supers: Cindy Crawford, Christy Burlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Heidi Klum and Elle McPherson. Not a bad CV eh? He then launched his eponymous makeup range in ’95. The line was a huge success, but sadly stopped it’s UK distribution in the early 00s. Boo hoo! However, it’s just relaunched exclusively onto cultbeauty.co.uk and we couldn’t be more stoked. Wahey! We haven’t been this excited since the McBusted tour.
Here are the 4 reasons why you’ll fall in love with the brand:
1. Their Water Canvas Creme-To-Powder Foundation, £43.50, is patented, so you won’t have seen it anywhere else. It feels bouncy to touch, a little bit like jelly, because it's formulated with 75% microwater. It comes in a fancy compact, with a lock system that keeps the products airtight and prevents any evaporaiton. It gives a stunning light to medium coverage that makes your skin look like pure velvet.

2. Their Creme Gel Eyeliner, £19, is highly pigmented, blends like a dream and lasts for aaaggggeeessss. The range of colours is beyond fab too. Golden Orit is a particular favourite to perk up tired eyes and is the ideal shade for future Xmas bashes.
3. Their Pearl X Eyeshadows, £19. Are. Amazing. LOOK AT THEM. The marble effect is so bloody beautiful that you won’t want to swirl your brush on it, but panic not, the pigment runs all the way through and keeps the pattern. The beauty of these shadows is that each time you apply your brush in a different way, the mixture of matte and shimmer will create a whole new shade. If you really don't want to touch them, just keep the lids open and pop them on your dressing table. Nice.
