5 minutes with: Victoria Curtis from Curtis Collection

Today's 5 minutes is with none other than the gorgeous, super talented Victoria Curtis.


Victoria is the mastermind behind the brand 'Curtis Collection'. Victoria developed every aspect of the collection from the colours, the ingredients, the names, the descriptions, and even the packaging.

Curtis Collection is a premium brand that offers luxury cosmetics for the everyday woman. The collection was designed for all women, at any age, and to suit any lifestyle.



The brand originated in 2012 with an online store, branched out into selected stockists in Australia, and now reaches the beauties in New Zealand.

Curtis Collection has been seen on red carpets (Dally M awards), fashion week (Rachel Gilbert's show), celebrities such as Jesinta Campbell and Sophie Falkiner, and adored by one of Australia's renowned make-up artist Max Made.

To find out more about this affordable luxury brand, we caught up with Victoria Curtis.



I would describe my style as
 
Black, Classic, Feminine.

I can't leave the house without my
Curtis Collection Invisible Blotting Powder - my secret to flawless looking makeup all day long, and my Brow Definer - it's all about the brows!

If I could raid one celebs wardrobe it would be
Olivia Palermo for sure! Every piece is divine.

If I could only use one make-up item for a day it would be
My Curtis Collection Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation! It conceals, protects, nourishes and hydrates for hours! It is also designed to deflect light away from any flaws in the skin, giving the illusion of an airbrushed complexion!

The best beauty advice I can give is
-Always use a good foundation!! I encourage women to have a proper skin consultation in order to find the foundation formula and finish that is suitable to their skin and also to their lifestyle. Our Mineral foundation formulas are loaded with antioxidants and nourishing vitamins, which are designed to act as an extension of your skin care routine. 
-By choosing the right mineral foundation, women can change the way their complexion appears overnight!

The biggest beauty faux pas is
Not wearing a primer! It is a MUST!! 


False lashes or eyelash extensions? 
False individual lashes every time.

The one celebrity I would love to use Curtis Collection products is

Blake Lively - I love her classic, elegant style and that fact that she is always naturally glowing.

The best thing about having my own makeup line is 
Giving women the confidence to look and feel amazing about themselves every single day, and of course showing them how to get the Curtis Collection Signature Glow!

Can you give us a sneak peak into what is in store for Curtis Collection in 2014?
Following the success of our runway partnerships with the likes of Carla Zampatti and Rachel Gilbert this past year, we are very excited to work along side
some of Australia's leading designers again in 2014! 2013 also saw Curtis Collection become an international brand with our recent expansion into New Zealand - a wonderful milestone. We plan to grow both the Australian and NZ market this year in order to make our products accessible to as many women as possible. We can't wait to see what the year will hold and look forward to sharing all of our exciting events with you via social media!
