'In my Kit' Professional make up artist

'In my Kit' Professional make up artist - Eyebrow makeup

Although there are various eyebrow products on the market, I tend to rely on these tried and tested staples;

Kryolan Eyeshadow powder palette £26.50 - 5 colours that suit all hair shades from very light blonde to black

Tweezerman Tweezers, perfect for plucking out any stray hairs £12.50

MUA clear mascara £1.00 for taming those long, straight hairs and keeping the eyebrows in place.

NYX eyebrow pencil in light and medium brown £4.00 each, perfect for gently filling in small gaps in eyebrows

To keep pencils hygienic I sharpen with a Victoria Loves Beauty pencil sharpener £1.99 before using a new piece of the pencil on each client, this means that most pencils last up to 1 year.

Eyebrow shadow has longevity due to powders not going 'off' so to speak, powders sometimes go a bit 'hard' on the surface which can be lightly scratched off.

I use a disposable mascara wand when applying the clear mascara to eyebrows. Victoria Loves Beauty do the best selection of disposable mascara wands for just £4.79 per pack of 25

Total yearly cost on eyebrow products - £54.78

All the above products tend to last me anything from a year up to 3 years for the eyeshadow palettes and I will normally get through approx. 8 packs of disposable mascara wands.

How to plan a wedding ?

I often get asked by people how a wedding day transforms and the answer is that each wedding day is very different to each other with some brides being more organised than others, and also a lot of it depends on how the bride is feeling - you will never know how you will feel on your wedding day until the day itself comes! Here is a little insight into behind the scenes on the morning of a wedding day. With thanks to Laura Higgins (nee Lancaster) who has kindly let me share her morning with the world! Enjoy reading and remember, this is just how Laura's wedding transpired, each wedding is individual and every one's wedding day is different to eachother......... Having met Laura for her trial, it was decided that I would turn up at the Norfolk Arms, Arundel where she was getting ready at 07.30 am. Bride and bridesmaids were ready and waiting at the window for me! First things first - turns out the veil had no clip attached so I quickly put the bridesmaids to...
