If you’re looking for a home grown, Canadian cosmetics brand to support during this trying trade war time, look no further than Annabelle Cosmetics.
Born in the 1960s, Annabelle has cemented its reputation as legacy brand here in Canada. The Quebec based company has spent decades championing fearless self-expression, long before bold makeup looks became mainstream. Known for its vibrant eyeliners, rich mascaras, bold blushes and more, the brand has built its reputation on making high-performing beauty products that come at an accessible price point. Annabelle empowers cosmetic loving Canadians to experiment, express themselves with creativity.
Here are the standout products from Annabelle that have found a home in my makeup collection.
Skinny Multi-Use Liquid Liner
One of my must have makeup products is an eyeliner pen. The Skinny Liner from Annabelle has now become a staple for me, especially in black. But this liner comes in a veritable rainbow of colours that I find myself reaching for when I’m feeling more playful in my makeup process. I love the brown colour for a softer, daytime look with brown mascara. The pink and teal colours are so much fun, and who doesn’t love a cheeky white eyeliner for a vintage mod look that’s truly timeless.
Skinny Mascara
When it comes to precision in mascara application, nothing beats this skinny mascara from Annabelle. I use it on my lower lashes especially if I want to emphasize some lashes to create a doll eyed look. It applies with no smudges and makes it easy to only coat the lashes you want to, or to apply a light coat to every lash in one quick sweep with no clumps.
Brow Fixing Gel
Good brows are another non negotiable for me, and Annabelle’s brow fixing gel adds the finishing touch to keep my brows looking groomed and sleek. It’s also enriched with niacinamide, provitamin B5 and glycerin, to help brows look their fullest and fluffiest for hours and hours. By day I reach for the clear formula, but I also love using the darker colours for a bolder, nighttime look.
Biggy Bronzer
If I only have 5 minutes to make up my face, this is the product I reach for. Contour, highlight, blush, bronzer and eyeshadow – the Biggy bronzer has it all. The Trio Gold colour combination and it makes me so glowy, like I’ve just returned from a relaxing beach vacation. I use the darkest shades to contour and apply to the crease of my eye, and then play with the remaining shades to create a full face look that takes no time at all.
