[dropcap]L[/dropcap]ong, demanding days are usually my daily norm, whether it’s hopscotching from meeting to patient or patient to meeting, my busy schedule leaves very little wiggle room for beauty touch ups. Makeup in the hospital environment must be kept to a subdued minimum. Therefore, doing a touchup throughout some part of the day is more of a moment of luxury and meditation. And so the beauty products I carry in my bag now days must give me quick application and withstand the rigors of my busy schedule. One of those makeup essentials includes several blush and bronzer papiers from Mai Couture, a luxury Papier company. I first discovered Mai Couture on Instagram, and the concept immediately caught my eye. Now this beauty product is a game changer in my daily beauty routine.
Behind the Brand
A fashion designer and makeup artist, Mai Tran has created a unique product that understands the needs of the busy modern woman of today. The brand was created for the Mai Couture Girl. She is the one who wants to look flawless with minimal effort while accomplishing her goals and objectives. As an artist and entrepreneur, Mai was motivated by the need to keep beauty routines simple. Her philosophy is ‘less is more’.
But what is the Mai Couture papiers?
These time savvy products are essentially makeup papers you can rub or tap onto the face for even makeup application. These tear sheets are designed to quickly freshen looks in seconds to minutes. There is no brush or sponge to fuss with. And for a bonus, they are paraben and talc free!
Some of Mai Couture’s most popular products include their Bronzer Papier, Highlighter Papier, Blush Papier, and Foundation Powder Papier. The on the go line of Papier includes: three gorgeous shades of Bronzing Papier, seven shades of Blush Papier, two shades of Highlighter Papier, and three shades of Foundation Powder Papier. There are also Specialty Papier in their skincare line infused with calming Lavender, Salicylic Acid, and Vitamin C & E. These makeup papers come in lightweight booklets and can be placed in the lovely Mai Couture wallets that come in gold, white and coral.
For more convenience on the go, there are also slim mirrors that are also available for purchase. The sleek and compact unbreakable mirror comes in its own beautiful soft leatherette case and it is as thin as a credit card. So I can go ahead and toss it into glove compartments, pockets, handbags, briefcases, diaper bags, and small evening bags.
My fast-paced schedule as I’ve mentioned generally has me on my toes, but if there is a pocket of free time in the late afternoons, I like to seize the opportunity to catch my breath and do a touch up if I need to. My skin can often need the added boost and with the Mai Couture Golden Glow Papier conveniently tucked away in my office desk, I am now good to go. You can’t imagine how easy it is to simply tear a sheet and gently dab and blot it on my face. The Golden Glow papier, in particular, just adds that bit of life back to my face, especially as the harsh fluorescent lights in my office makes my color look washed out and dull. But with a light, quick blot to my forehead, nose bridge, tip of my nose, and Cupid’s bow, my face brightens immediately!
As a woman on the go, I have been enjoying and loving my discovery of Mai Couture. The quality, value, and performance of this perfect, no mess and effortless product is 5 of 5 stars in my book. Definitely recommend taking a browse at all the Mai Couture products if you’re a gal always on the go.
