Before And After


Good morning everyone! We have been totally blessed with good weather recently and sunshine is one thing that makes me super happy. I think it just lifts everyone's moods and changes their demeanor.  It's good to see people going around in shorts and tank tops because it is practically unheard of in Britain, even during the Summer. 

But, weather aside for the moment. Last Saturday I did my friend, Megan's, make up before she went out for the evening. I'm trying to get as much practice in as possible so it was a great opportunity as it's good to 'make up' different face shapes, skin tones and complexions. 

After consulting with Megan which colours she would like, we decided to go for neutral tones as she doesn't usually wear much eyeshadow so we didn't want to go over-the-top.

Primed, then based (usuing a light foundation), I then used a brownish mauve shade for her eyes, which also helps to bring out the blue, and blended this in at the outer corners with a darker brown which I also brought a third of the way in on her bottom lash line, followed by black liner on her top lash line and plenty of black mascara.
 I used a pink blusher on Megan's fair skin to give her a little glow. 
On the lips is a simple just very pretty nude pink gloss which is easy to touch up as the night goes on. 

I'm glad to say that Megan was very happy with her make up and very excited as she had never had it done for her before.

Stay beautiful!
