The Face Shop Volume

In THE FACE SHOP's catalog, "volume" points to three different things depending on the product type. For the Gold Collagen Volume Mascara, it means lash definition and lift. For the Pomegranate and Collagen skincare range, it refers to the visible firmness and elasticity the formulas aim to support. For the Glimmering Volume Lip Oils, it describes the optical fullness a high-gloss finish adds to lips.

Collagen is the thread connecting the skincare pieces. THE FACE SHOP uses it alongside pomegranate extract, which supplies antioxidants and helps address skin's resilience over time. The mascara takes a different route, using a brush design and formula weight to build lash body without clumping.

The Gold Collagen Volume Mascara comes in 12g and 12ml sizes and is available in Black. The formula adds volume without a heavy, flaky texture, and the collagen component is marketed for a conditioning effect on lashes during wear. The gold-accented tube is compact enough for daily use or travel.

If you typically go through mascara quickly, the 12g size is the better value. Both sizes use the same formula, so the choice comes down to how long it takes you to finish a tube. As with any mascara, replace after three months of opening regardless of how much product remains.

The Pomegranate and Collagen sub-line includes four distinct steps: the Volume Lifting Toner, the Volume Lifting Emulsion, the Volume Elasticity Cream (100ml), and the Pomegranate and Collagen Volume Elastic Eye Cream (50ml). They are designed to work together but can also be used individually within an existing routine.

The toner preps skin for better absorption of the steps that follow. The emulsion is lighter than the cream and suits warmer months or oilier skin types that still want elasticity support. The 100ml cream is the richest of the group and is suited to normal-to-dry skin. The eye cream, at 50ml, is specifically sized and formulated for the delicate eye area, addressing firmness there rather than dark circles or puffiness specifically.

THE FACE SHOP also offers a set of 3 from the Pomegranate and Collagen line, which is useful if you want to trial the range without committing to individual full sizes across the board.

The Glimmering Volume Lip Oils come in two shades: 02 Nourishing and 03 Bearpink, each in a 5g tube. The formula sits in the lip oil category rather than gloss, meaning it has a lighter, less sticky texture while still providing visible shine. The oils are designed to give the appearance of fuller lips through the reflective finish rather than a plumping ingredient.

Bearpink is a soft pink shade suited to everyday wear. Nourishing leans more translucent, functioning closer to a treatment product that adds shine without obvious colour. Both work over bare lips or layered over lipstick.

Pomegranate extract appears throughout the skincare side of this collection. It contains punicalagins and anthocyanins, which act as antioxidants and help protect skin from environmental stress. THE FACE SHOP pairs this with collagen, which in topical form helps maintain the skin barrier and supports moisture retention rather than directly supplementing dermal collagen (a molecule too large to penetrate the skin).

Together, these ingredients position the Pomegranate and Collagen range as suited to skin concerns around elasticity and early firmness loss. The combination is not targeted at acne, brightening, or oil control, so if those are your primary concerns, the rest of the collection (mascaras, lip oils) would be the place to start here.

Apply the Volume Lifting Toner immediately after cleansing to damp or towel-dried skin. Follow with the Lifting Emulsion if you are using it; the emulsion's lighter consistency means it should go on before the cream in a two-step approach. Apply the Volume Elasticity Cream last in your moisturizing step.

The Elastic Eye Cream is applied after toner and before heavier moisturizers. Pat gently around the orbital bone with your ring finger rather than dragging the skin. Morning and evening use is supported by the formulas, though if you are layering with SPF in the morning you should apply the cream before sunscreen, not over it.

The Pomegranate and Collagen skincare range is best suited to normal, dry, and combination-dry skin. The cream and emulsion both carry enough richness to support dry patches, and the elasticity focus makes them a reasonable fit for skin that has started to show early firmness changes. They are not the right match for oily or acne-prone skin primarily, though the toner at the first step of the routine is lighter and more universally usable.

The Glimmering Lip Oils work for all lip types. They add moisture to dry lips and a glossy finish to lips that are not dry. The mascara is not formulated for any particular skin type and is selected based on lash preferences and formula sensitivity rather than complexion concerns.
