So my lovelies...
As some of you may know a few weeks ago i was lucky enough to join the gorgeous girls from bridal boutique, Brides Of Winchester on a makeup masterclass.
What better way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon than to sit around drinking tea and making yourselves look beautiful. I don't know about you but i always find it soo fascinating watching other people do their makeup because we all apply it in different ways.
Sarah was able to show us how to professionally, and properly apply our everyday makeup making the class a very personal lesson as we didn't then have to go out of our way to purchase a whole new makeup bag. Each wanting to focus on a different area to beautify we managed to cover the WHOLE face in one lesson. From eyebrows to primers, those killer flicks or on trend contour we each received individual advice on what works best for our skin types and hair colour. and its safe to say we all left with both a shopping list the length of an arm and itching to put our new skills to the test.
Top tips i learnt!
~ Always clean your brushes!
Now I'm the worst at ensuring my brushes are always squeaky clean and lets be honest no one has the time to scrub your sassy tools daily but i was introduced to a fab brush cleaner. Pouring a little bit onto kitchen paper and then rubbing your brush into the product in circular motions is easy enough right? ... not only are your brushes back to their original state but they are also bone dry instantly!
~ Its all in the base!
My face has ALOT of dark patches so using a red based primer can really help to counter act this. i think people take primers for granted, class them as a 'pointless step' however if you get a quality primer your base makeup will look flawless! try it and i promise you'll notice a positive difference.
~ Line the lip!
Don't ever underestimate the power of a lip liner, from creating that sassy ombre to tidying the edges up. A lip liner acts as the foundation for the colour, by adding a liner you can change the size and shape of your lip and create a border that'll stop your lipstick bleeding into the skin. If you don't have a coloured liner that you need, clear liners can also be found which as you can imagine are soo handy!

Looked like you all had a great day, and what a good idea. I don't wear make up because when I take off my glasses I can't see well enough to apply it. I do sometimes wear a lipstick so thanks for the lip liner tip. Keep up the good work xx
