OUR STORY
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THE ICONIC WATERCOLOUR
Daniel Sandler Cosmetics was founded by international makeup artist Daniel Sandler, AKA ‘The Patron Saint of Blusher’, in 2005. Our mission is to make gorgeous, high-performance, multi-use makeup for how we live today. We’re famous for our sublime textures that blend seamlessly and enhance your real skin. Our original product, Watercolour Liquid, is a word-of-mouth sensation and multi award-winning beauty hero. Have you tried it yet?
CHEEKS FIRST
Our winning formula is all about the blush. If you start your makeup look with blusher, your eyes immediately look brighter, your skin clearer and you sit up straighter. Applying blusher first also helps moderate the rest of your makeup – you’ll go lighter on the brows, eyes or lips. We reckon it’s the secret to that perfect ‘natural makeup look’. Your skin, but better.
THE LIQUID BLUSH THAT STARTED IT ALL
Our superstar liquid blush, Watercolour Liquid, is like nothing else on the market. A weightless, silky veil of colour, it applies like a divine second skin and helps to lift the entire face. It’s regularly featured by beauty editors and influencers, loved by renowned makeup artists such as Ruby Hammer, Mary Greenwell and Sam & Nic Chapman, and has won countless awards including Best Blush at the Woman&Home Beauty Awards.
Daniel says: “I was working on shoots where I needed the makeup to stay in place but I couldn’t find a blusher that ticked all the boxes. I wanted something beautifully sheer, easy to blend but also super water-resistant in lots of shades. I couldn’t find what I wanted even in professional beauty stores so I decided to make my own."
"Watercolour Liquid has been copied many times (it’s a compliment!) but I don’t think it’s been bettered. Watercolour looks like real skin, not makeup, and has unrivalled staying power. It melts into the skin, it doesn’t sit on top, and it makes everyone look fresher, healthier and the very best version of themselves.”
