Diary of a Makeup Artist

21st - 27th June 2010

Wow!! What a busy week, lots of enquiries coming through for Proms and Weddings this summer…but I did take a day off to go to Wimbledon and enjoy the tennis on Centre Court as well as a Pimms..great day!!

Anyway this week I have been getting ready for the Wedding Fair at the Doubletree Hilton Hotel, part of the Milton Keynes Dons Stadium. It’s on Sunday 4th July, 11am till 4pm. If you are in the area come along to meet me and find out more about what we do. You’ll also be in with a chance to win money off your bridal package!

Have a look at the Beauty Call website for more details of the wedding fairs that Beauty Call franchisees will be exhibiting at.

I would like to wish Lauren best wishes for the future. I had the pleasure of applying her and her bridesmaid’s makeup at Sedgebrook Hall in Northamptonshire this week. The weather was gorgeous!! They both had individual lashes applied to make the eyes look more open and the lashes thicker. The results were great and along with Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in black, this completed the glamorous look that they both wanted.

I have been doing lots of bridal trials this week and have noticed that dry skin seems to be a problem. This could be perhaps due to the hot weather and also the stressful preparations before any wedding!

Dry skin does affect the final finish of your makeup. So my tip would be to meet with you Beauty Call makeup artist and find out how to improve your skin for the wedding day. They have tried and tested loads of products so will know what works for you.

My advice would be to:
1. Drink more water (a cliché but it does work!!), and.....
2. Use a really good moisturiser such as Dermalogica active moist and a good eye cream. Lots of my brides to be have used Vie 24hr eye cream which I have recommend to them, it’s a double ended applicator one end has wide awake eye gel the other eye cream. It also pops nicely into your hand bag and is small enough to take on the plane for your honeymoon to.
