Fun blue make-up for valentines


Me and my husband have been together 6 years in august and have had more than a few lovely valentines together..our first was a surprise and as we were newly engaged, John booked us in at a lovely hotel in the lake district, where he surprised me again with champagne and chocs! Ahh those were the days!

Since then we've had our two little boys and even though we're usually very busy with them, we do try to do something together. This year I bought some beautiful cupcakes from my lovely friend and amazing cake designer Claire of Just darling cakes, and some beautiful heart shaped biscuit lollipops for the boys with icing on saying 'love you ashton' love you logan'!

Claire's cakes are out of this world and I will blog about them in another post but in the meantime, check her amazing talents out here!


For valentines, I usually go for traditional pink/red make-up, but after a day of applying very traditional valentines makeup for clients, I thought I'd try out something different for my night out with other half!

 Keeping the lid simple with MAC brulee used my beeluscious palette and the colours moody blue and washed denim to create a winger out shape. On the cheeks I used new Dior blush in strawberry sorbet!

Here's me and the man with the stuck on head! He looks very unimpressed! haha! I know it's a while since but hope you all a lovely time at valentines!

A Beautiful Wedding from 2010 - Lucy & Jonathan

I had forgotten that I've recently had some wonderful feedback and been very lucky to have received some beautiful wedding photo's from some of my bridal clients recently. Lucy and Jonathan's wedding was the middle wedding of 3 in the August Bank holiday which I did the makeup for.

All of Lucy's bridal party we're amazing and really lovely to work with! Mostly they wanted something that toned in well with their gorgeous dresses, however it was great to work with clients who like to wear a little bit more than the very natural look.

Here are some of Lucy's spectacular wedding pics!

Brigitte Bardot Inspired makeup

Today I uploaded a Brigitte Bardot inspired makeup look for Youtube!

After looking through my makeup images I posted on here yesterday I felt inspired to re-do a sultry smoky eye makeup look but with a fresh lip and cheek for an updated twist.

I used cool toned eye shadows in midnight blue with MAC's satin taupe to create a different feel rather than the usual grey or black.





Products used were-

Chanel vitalumiere Aqua shade beige pastel

Laura Mercier secret camourflage in SC3

MAC studio finish concealer in NC20

UD PP

MAC omega for brows

MAC satin taupe e/s

Beeluscious shadow in moody blue

Clinique black gel limer

Loreal Voluminous carbon back mascara

Avon supershock gel liner

Lashes from ebay store

MAC warm soul mineralised blush

Laura mercier bellini gloss
 
Sorry the pictures aren't very clear! Had to rush off to do the nursery run!
