Sophie's All Time Favourites

The beautiful best

Chelsea designer Sophie Stanbury loves to try new looks and change up her colours with the seasons. But there are some things she is never without.

For a natural glowing look that's great for busy London days and relaxed weekends.

Sophie says:

"As a busy working mother finding the perfect everyday makeup which is easy to use and creates a lovely natural dewy complexion is very important to me. Since being introduced to Cosmetics a La Carte not only have I found the perfect tones, textures and long lasting gorgeous finish but I have also developed the perfect pinky nude lipstick which I am super excited to share with you.

I have hand picked my favourites from the fabulous collection and I can safely say the quality, the use of good ingredients with no nasty chemicals and the lovely textures of these has given me a flawless natural illumination that I will wear everyday. I have found it hard in the past to find products that don’t make me look overly made up or caked.

I stand by the less is more approach, enhancing what you have and correcting fine lines while not leaving cracks and creating a lovely healthy glow that gives you confidence and a fresh appearance. I hope you enjoy the lovely glowing collection I have picked and feel happy and confident!"
