"How To..." Create a Smokey Eye Make Up Look

Makeover Experience

Catherine before the makeover

Catherine our willing model allowed me to take a before photo to show the difference. The makeup was a winged out smokey grey with false lashes to add glamour. The skin was kept luminous and the lips started as neutral then added a red for an evening look. The hair was kept soft and wavy with the sides swept off the face. We started out in the studio but then went out into the Old bakery for some fashion shots.The whole experience took around 3 hours and was great fun.

I was picked to do a make-over shoot and felt extremely excited and lucky. I turned up at 9.30 looking rough as rats and was transformed. I was totally blown away when i saw the fantastic make-up Sally had put on me. Smoky sexy eyes even though it was still the morning. I then had my hair done by Lynn and put on the clothes i had bought and was taken to the photography studio. This was the best part for me i was made to feel extremely relaxed and pouted and posed whilst the cameras were flashing. I felt like a star and was over joyed to see the photos that were taken. Thank you very much Blush and Radical eye photography, i had such a fantastic day and now have the prints to remember my special moment .

I concentrated on the right foundation, which can be a nightmare for lots of people. I always think you need to try a foundation a few times to see if it suits you, but this can be costly. It maybe a good idea to ask for a sample first before you buy to make sure. Also when you test out a foundation go outside and look at it in daylight. This will give you a more clearer idea if it suits your complexion and is the right colour.
Thanks for following :)

Specsavers spectacle wearer of the year. South West final.

 Myself and Devon based makeup artist Justine Gillard was brought in to do the South West finalists for specsavers held in Plymouth. We were briefed that we have 5 minutes on each model so a light makeup was to be applied. They were all stunning and it was good to see some male models doing it as well. I am yet to hear which person got through. They will then be going to the finals in London and meeting Gokwan. So good luck to all those who entered.

Photoshoot with Chic Bride

Haven't worked with Chic bride for a few months so I was excited to do another one. It was based upon 2 looks. One model had blonde hair and one dark. We were using headwear from Hollyhats, which had a vintage feel, so I wanted to bring that into the makeup , but give it a more modern edge. The looks are out on chic bride next week. :)tp://www.chicbride.co.uk/
