Sue Devitt and textures of the Serengeti plains

It is the season for gift ideas and Style Cartel is rolling out ideas that are great stocking stuffers plus great make up tips on how to get the look for the season.  The International makeup artist SueDevitt launched Sunset on the Serengeti last September. Sue has also dedicated 20% of proceeds from the Serengeti collection to the Africa Foundation, a charity close to Sue’s heart that supports communities in Africa.  Not only can you give your makeup artist friend a great gift with some of the proceeds going to a good cause just in time for the holiday season.

The collection, which takes inspiration from the colours and textures of the Serengeti plains, includes 3 Eye Intensifier Pencils in Kenya (chocolate brown), Pointe Noire (black) and Tanzania (bronze) along with the Black Widow Mascara, Prime Target Eye Treatment Primer and Sue’s signature Hydrating Marine Minerals Destination Eye Palette. All are available in HarveyNichols and QVC.

The Sunset on the Serengeti collection is also ideal for recreating some of the key beauty fashion make up trends/looks for A/W 09- for example the Eye Intensifier Pencil in Pointe Noire creates the perfect smokey eye, as seen at Versace and PPQ A/W shows whilst the Serengeti Hydrating Marine Minerals Eye Palette with its rich copper and earthy hues is perfect for building up a bronzed eye as seen at Matthew Williamson
