After briefly researching the brands, I have decided that on the ones that interest me the most. These are; Illamasqua, Ellis Faas and M.A.C. The reason I have decided to further research these brands is because they are probably the most creative ones to choose and can pretty much do anything with them.
Illamasqua
The first one is Illamasqua, a British cult cosmetic brand that emerged on the scene in London in November 2008. The company has since been named as one of the fastest growing brands in cosmetic history. With an emphasis on individuality, Illamasqua's CEO Julian Kynaston and a trio of iconic artists came together to create a cosmetic line that would engage consumers on an emotional level along with the longevity of professional products.

Ellis Faas
Ellis was born and raised in the Netherlands. From an early age on, Ellis had a good eye for fashion, coupled with a strong opinion about what was or wasn't beautiful. She plastered her bedroom walls with images from Vogue and would often make her own clothes (sometimes with great success; other times failing miserably). She also developed a passion for photography, especially in the documentary, portrait and over-stylised fashion and beauty genres. Inspired greatly by the work of photographers such as Yousuf Karsh and Serge Lutens, Ellis decided to pursue a career in professional photography when she left school. While on her course, Ellis kept using herself as a model. Each time, she would completely transform herself with make-up. Increasingly, Ellis started to dislike the technical side of photography, while her love for the more intuitive aspect of make-up kept growing. Ellis has worked with the likes of Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint-Laurent Haute Couture, Givenchy, Gucci, Karl Lagerfeld, Harper’s Bazaar and many Vogues.

From the tawny peach of a freckle to the pure, vivid red that pulses through our veins, the Ellis Faas Human Colours collection looks to the human palette for inspiration. The colours that exist naturally in our bodies are complex and rich, but they're also universal, shared by each and every one of us. Based on this universal spectrum, Ellis Faas Human Colours complement all skin tones, and when it comes to looking one's best, what better way to highlight a great feature or mask an imperfection than with tones and hues that already exist in each of us?
Ellis Red is Ellis' signature colour: it is based on the natural colour of blood. That colour is the same in all of us, so therefore it doesn't clash with anyone's skin. Loved by women who never wore any other red lipstick before, as well as by red lipstick die-hards. Ellis Red comes in all three Ellis Lips textures: Creamy Lips (which feels the most like a traditional lipstick), Milky Lips (for those who do not like the feel of a lipstick - it is a lighter texture) and Glazed Lips (a non-sticky gloss, with a higher pigment load than regular glosses).

Although Ellis doesn't actually have a SS16 collection, she releases monthly visuals which are then made available to purchase as a set of the products she uses.

After researching into more depth about these brands and about their SS16 collections and work, I have decided to choose Ellis Faas as my brand. The reason being is because I had never heard of her work before and am fascinated to research more behind her. And I am intrigued by the way she only uses human colours. I think her work is quite out there which means that I can be as creative as I want. Like last year, I want to push myself and produce some really creative work that represents my ideas and my chosen brand.
