About Barry M Cosmetics
Barry M is a family run cosmetics business, manufactured in the United Kingdom. Starting initially with nail paints, Barry M now offer a whole range of products including face, eye and lipmakeup products, nail accessories, nail care products and skincare products.
Barry M filled a gap in the market for bold and daring colour when the public was craving something new and exciting. They were the first company to release a white eyeliner, fluorescent nail paint and black lip and nail paint duos.
To this day, Barry M continues to offer eye-catching, stand-out products that are both high quality and affordable.

Barry M Lip That’s Swell! XXL Extreme Lip Plumper
$12.95
These glosses add a sheer tint of colour and shine to the lips while subtly stimulating the skin’s natural collagen to promote a softer and more plump-looking pout. This is done with the inclusion of ginger extract that may cause a mild, tingling sensation on the lips, but will give your lips a long-lasting boost of plumpness.
Available in Plum, Orange and A Mood.

Not only are these eyeshadows richly pigmented and available in a range of beautiful colours, but they are extremely convenient.

Available in Love Letter, Stranger, Success, Sultry, Midnight, Lustre, Intrigued, Mellowed and Smoked.
Barry M Lip Scrubs
