A couple of weeks ago during a
weekend trip to Las Vegas, I had the distinct privilege of swatching many of the products from the freshly debuted Surratt Beauty line, currently sold exclusively at Barney's NY. Created by famed makeup artist Troy Surratt, this line features clean lines, stunning colors and a Japanese-infused aesthetic that embraces simplicity, utility and sheer gorgeousness!
The products that I currently own include:1. Surratt Lipslique: An immensely hydrating, pigment rich "lipstick alternative" that applies sheer but is buildable to medium coverage. I own Fee Soie (a pale, slightly coral sugar pink) and Gamine (a nude, peach, pink hybrid). Close up swatches of these shades to come soon!2. Surratt Artistique Blush: This finely milled powder comes in a delightfully petite sliding case (see video for more on this!) and boasts intense pigmentation, an invisible texture and significant lasting power. I own Guimauve, a light, bright baby pink that yields a very believable rosy flush. 3. Surratt Moderniste Lip Pencil: A luxe retractable lip pencil that glides on with ease and provides an excellent base for the lip color to come. I own Faire La Bise, a mid-toned nude with beige and neutral pink leanings that is the perfect companion for my cadre of pinky nudes. 4. Surratt Lip Lustre: Truly, a lipgloss of epic proportions! This moisturizing, pigmented formula is endlessly comfortable yet sticky enough to stay put. It is cushiony, plush, looks beautiful over lip color and fabulous alone. One swipe yields sheer color and a couple of coats creates a super shiny, opaquely tinted lip that lasts for hours. I currently own Coquette (a creamy nude baby pink), Soigne (a medium, neutral, slightly shimmery rosy pink) and Teint (a creamy white with no shimmer...designed to lighten any lip color...incredible!) and know that there will be more of these gems in my future!Kindly scroll on for my video overview, additional images swatches of the Surratt Beauty Smokey Eye Batons, Surrealiste Skin Concealer, Automatique Lip Crayon, Lip Lustre, Lipslique and Modernist Lip Pencil and the Bottom Line...

| Above: Swatches of all shades of the Smokey Eye Batons. |
Smokey eyes demystified. Creamy liner with matching satiny eyeshadow. Smoldering, edgy, and seductive.
Designed in a sleek and slim case, the Smokey Eye Baton fits perfectly into even the smallest evening clutch. Double-sided, this baton includes a retractable creamy eyeliner on one end and a twist-off, blendable, light-reflective shadow pencil on the other end.
Vapeur Mauve is a deep, dark purple.
Nuit d' Orage is a deep navy.
Cendres is a uniquely opaque, creamy light taupe.
Fumee Brun is a dark brown.
Fumme Noir is a stunning black.
I will be picking up Cendres and Vapeur Mauve next week ; )

| Above: Swatches of all shades of the Surrealiste Skin Concealer. |
Adheres to skin perfectly and wears beautifully. Flawless correction. Complete coverage. Eight diverse shades.
During my swatching session, I noted that it felt silky and smooth and melded into my skin with ease! I think I would likely be shade #3 or #4.

| Above: Swatches of all shades of the Automatique Lip Crayon. |
A collection of perfect reds. Heavy on pigment, light on lips. Non-drying, matte finish; suede-like formula.
I have my eye on Deep in Vogue...something about its soft, deep purple hue is definitely calling my name!

According to the Barneys website, the
Surratt Beauty Lip Lustre is:
Gloss grows up. Sheer yet long-wearing. Creamy and moisturizing. Unique flexible applicator provides a painterly finish. Application made easy with a custom-designed silicone flocked spatula.
As aforementioned both in writing and the video, I adore the three shades I have and will likely pick up Nudite and Amethyste soon ; )

| Above: Swatches of the Lipsliques Round I. |
The Lipsliques are initially what compelled my foray into this line and, as you may have guessed, I have no regrets! According to the Barney's website, the
Surratt Beauty Lipsliques are:
An alternative to lipstick. Versatile and beautiful. Luscious texture, buildable color. Sheer to medium finish. Applicator is propel-only and does not retract. Be sure to propel accordingly with use as to not crush the lipstick with lid when closing.
Fee Soie and Gamine are utterly gorgeous and Bon Bon will hopefully be next to join the family!

| Above: Swatches of all shades of the Moderniste Lip Pencil. |
Border-ing on perfection. Lends balance and symmetry. Smooth with no drag. Built-in lip brush and sharpener. Propels and retracts with use.
Faire La Bise has the perfect amount of neutral depth and tone for all of pinky nudes and Tendere Baiser would be a marvelous option for those who gravitate towards beiges and browns.

Bottom Line: The Surratt Beauty line is such a refreshing addition to the beauty landscape. I adore its restrained, modern and tasteful aesthetic and am beyond impressed by its ability to compel me covet every single item in the collection. I hope to meet the mastermind of the line, Troy Surratt, sometime in the near future and highly recommend the sales people that have helped me thus far. An excursion to Barney's on Black Friday will hopefully enable me to add some Smokey Eye Batons, Brow Pomade, powder and liquid liner to my collection and, as always, swatches and full reviews will follow! If you are interested in ordering by phone directly from the Beverly Hills Barney's NY, Haley Van Cleave, who is the Surratt Beauty Business Manager, is an utterly excellent resource (310/276-4400 ext. 5598)! Have a ball choosing products from the line and please tell her that the Beauty Professor sent you ; )
