Make-Up Brushes

I'm not sure what brand the numbers correlate to, but this pic I found gives a good idea as to what all the different make-up brushes are used for.

The Professional Look

The common eyeshadow palette. Some of the colours may seem pointless if you don't know what they are used for. Medium shades can be fantastic blending tools. This is a wonderful illustration on how to use the various shades found in most pharmacy brand eyeshadows.

1. The Highlighter : lashes to lid

2. The Medium-Dark : blend over the outer half of lid, lashes to crease.

3. Dark : apply in a C/V-shape on outside of the eyelid, keeping to natural crease lines and blending harsh lines.

4. Light-Medium: blend into the entire crease.

Finish off with liner and mascara! Intensify by using a darker dark and a lighter highlighter.

Weddings - On the Job

I love these beautiful pics sent to me by one of my brides, Paula. I was glad to be around for touch-ups throughout the day. Having an experienced make-up artist around on your wedding day can really help to ease the stress. We are not only there to make sure you look amazing all day, but are so experienced in all sorts of wedding day prep and drama. We have seen an array of things go wrong with the dress, hair, schedules and bridal party, and are usually prepped with the skills or knowledge to help out. Invest in an experienced professional and you won't be disappointed on your most important day.

Which Red is Right for Me?

Good question. And you are right in being cautious with which shade of red you buy.
You need to work out what your skin undertone is. Either cool (pink to blueish-red), warm (yellow to olive) or neutral (not obviously cool or warm).

Um ...awesome.

Don't panic.
Look on the inside of your wrist. If your veins look more blue you are likely a cool undertone. If your veins look more green then you probably are a warm undertone.

Now match your shade's undertone to your own. Fair skin/cool undertones should stick with something that's not too orange or warm in its undertone. Neutral or warmer tones can go for a shade that has more blue in the colour mixture if they want lips to pop or orange undertones if they want a more harmonious look.

NB: not all light skin is blue undertoned and not all dark is warm. Very dark skin is usually a warm undertone, unless for example an Ethiopian or Nigerian skin is usually cool/blue.

Good Luck!
