Stay Beautiful with Mary Quant

Since Mary Quant Cosmetics was officially launched in 1966, the products has underwent many transformation process. Coincide with her motto - "freedom and individual" and that how is her brand logo, Black Daisy was created. Similar like how she invented the miniskirts, her concepts also run to create fun and pop of colours in her cosmetic products.

When I heard Mary Quant, in my mind I imagine striking colours, vivid, diversity and unique. The Mary Quant concept is simple. Its Freedom from Within. And of course individualistic. The diversity and diversify of her concepts runs through the products created and form many colours in the product created. More selection to choose from. It is something unique unlike typical make-up approach.

Last weekend I had my chance to learn and experience the beautiful Mary Quant cosmetic through it’s Beauty Workshop. Ms Takagi San, all the way from Japan was there to assist and gave us guidance to apply step by step Mary Quant products.

Me and Shivani babe - Our bare face. 

The first step begin with prep with either OIL ZAP or Moisture ZAP.

The difference between these two is, Oil Zap mean for those with oily skin where Moisture Zap would be perfect for dry skin.

Oil Zap - For Oily Skin

This product would provides a dry, matte finish as if you applied powder. It prevents makeup from coming off by controlling shine due to excess sebum. Also, it renders skin with a fine texture by covering  up annoying pores.

Moisture Zap - For dry skin
