How to Set your make up professionally so that it lasts all day

Ok,
so you have found your perfect base and you have concealed in all the important places (see my previous blog) - now you need to set your make up so that it lasts all day.
My next video shows you how to do this;

Nearly all powders that you can buy at a cosmetic counter come in light, medium and dark - you will find that ALL of these colours are wrong for you.
If you have discovered your perfect foundation and concealer colour then why ruin it by putting a powder on top that will turn your face the wrong colour, and 8 times out of 10 too orange?

I use a colourless (or White) powder which you can get either from supercover or dermacolor.
I use this on all skin colours not matter how light or dark as it does not change the colour of your skin. Do not be scared to use this on black skin - it doesn't leave you looking ashy, it will blend perfectly away.

It is best to apply your powder using a powder puff - this way you can 'press' the powder into your skin, setting your foundation and concealer to last all day. Better still, the dermacolor powder makes your make up waterproof and is therefore set in the rain, or if you choose to go swimming!

Once you have pressed in your powder with a puff all over (eyelids and lips included) you then need to take a big powder brush and sweep over the entire face to brush off your excess powder.

Now that your base is set, you are ready to put the rest of your make up on.

British Heart Foundation Wear It Beat It Campaign

It was really great to be the hair and make-up artist for the new British Heart Foundation campaign - Wear It. Beat It 2017 - https://wearitbeatit.bhf.org.uk This was a two day photoshoot working with a wonderful team from Killer Creative marketing agency. On the first day I worked with heart survivor's, consultants and surgeons which was great as I got to listen to a lot of amazing stories that people were happy to share. In fact, this is one of the favourite parts of my work - getting to hear about other people's lives and the fact that people want share with me. On the second day, a lot of male, female and children models arrived to have their hair and make-up done so that the British Heart Foundation had a variety of photos to share for their next big advertising campaign. I really enjoyed being a member of the team that created photos for this campaign for the British Heart Foundation and look ...

How to cover up a tattoo using Camouflage creams

As a cosmetic camouflage practitioner I get asked to cover up scars, burn marks, port wine stains, birth marks, broken capillaries, Rosacea, eczema and all other skin conditions and discolourations. When I am doing a wedding, I often get asked to cover up a tattoo or two! Below I will outline how you can cover up your own tattoo using Cosmetic camouflage creams. There are many creams available on the market, my product of choice is Dermacolor by Kryolan - this is endorsed by many companies including British Association of British Camouflage and Skin Camouflage Network. Some of the products are also available on Prescription if your doctor gives you a prescription for the product - otherwise you can buy it direct from Charles H Fox. 1. - tattoo before any cosmetic camouflage creams have been applied. 2. If the tattoo is black, you need to apply a red colour on top of the black to neutralise the colour - I apply the product using a lip brush or liner brush....
