There are so many great skincare brands on offer sometimes it's hard to know where to start looking; and when you do often they don't supply you with what you really desire. Kim Jacobs, world renown makeup artist and developer of product lines for FCUK decided she wanted a family friendly range that concentrated on natural ingredients and massage; voila- Angelique was born!
What inspired you to do Angelique?
My children and my bond with them that was brought about by massaging them and also the need for multi functional products that I could use and use on them that were safe, beneficial and good quality.
How has being a mum influenced you?
I have always used Holistic medicines and been a vegetarian and concern by health issues and this was heightened when I had my children as I was increasingly concerned about chemicals in what we eat and what we put on our skin.
How did you start the developing process?
I knew I had an idea and I just worked hard on making that happen. I had also spent years developing other brands so knew how to get packaging etc but doing the whole concept and artwork took time and coming up with the name.
Which is you favourite product for the face and body?
I would say for the face the Moisturiser and for the body the Massage Balm although I use the Balm as a cleanser as well.
How important is it to you that you use natural ingredients?
Very as I have always used natural oils myself and used holistic medicines I understand the benefits of these ingredients for us all.
What celeb do you think has great beauty style?
I love Louise Redknapp she always looks naturally beautiful , glowing and happy.
What's you cleansing routine?
I use the Angelique massage balm to take my make-up of with and massage my face at the same time. I use the Spritzer to tone and then I use Rose oil or the moisturiser depending on how dehydrated my skin is.
Three desert island beauty must haves?
A sun hat, Moisturiser and cream blusher.
What would be your wonder product?
Amazing concealers that look so natural that they performed but had benefits of fantastic oils as well.
What beauty trends do you predict for this year?
Natural make-up with a splash of colour for the lips, either orange or fuschia to make us all feel a bit better. Organic cosmetics that work.
