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.

Brand New Wedding Website

Hello, I hope you like my new look website. This has been quite a time coming as I have been working with my web people for the majority of the year working on the site. I am now proud to announce that my new site is up and running - and I am extremely proud of it. I appreciate all of your comments and will be running a very exciting competition very soon. In the meantime, I hope you will have an explore around my site and leave any feedback. My website started off with humble beginnings in 2003. I asked my cousin to design it.  It was very simple and got straight to the point! Then in 2010 I decided that I needed a re-design.  This is when I researched web people and decided upon using Hope and Creed .  They offer a friendly, relaxed service and are extremely informative throughout the entire process.   By the end of 2012 I was getting a little bit sick and tired of pink! I loved my website, but it was a website that ONLY showed my wedding hair and make up work

How to choose a photographer for your wedding day - Introducing Marianne Chua

ABOUT YOU........  What is your background? I’m Marianne, I’m a young (in my head) photographer who specialises in weddings but who occasionally ganders with music photography as well. I’m self-taught through the school of Google, so essentially I learnt everything I know from online resources and trial and erroring during my film photography hobby days… then one day a friend asked me to photograph their wedding so I picked up a digital camera and haven’t stopped since! I still own 16 film cameras and will be using some of them at the weddings. ABOUT YOUR COMPANY Tell me a bit about your company and what you have to offer to the wedding industry. I’m a wedding photographer offering a fun, relaxed, alternative documentary style of photography! I’m based in London but I adventure all over to shoot weddings. I offer a more modern and quirky service, I think the kind of clients that book me want someone friendly who can blend into their day and be a part of it ra

Harry Derbidge Boutique - Harry's World

Thursday was a great fun day spent with Annabelle's Wigs; Harry Derbidge recently got in touch with Annabelle's Wigs with a photo and asked if four wigs could be made up for his shop mannequins in his Boutique in Essex. 'Harry's World' The wigs arrived so we jumped in the car to take them up, style them and to start a new 'hairy' trend with mannequins;                                                Meet Barbara and Wendy - Harry's mannequins with their new hair...... extra high with extra length! Harry checking out the fringe..... he is a happy, happy chappie!                                          Harry asked for two more wigs the same style but in different colours to be made up so that he can change the hair colours from time to time.  Modelled by Harry and Myself ! Who says that work can't be fun?   Harry is such a cutie that he wouldn't let us leave without giving us a little prezzie from his shop..... Love
