MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

I was first introduced to MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural on Zoe Clarks Bridal Course (http://www.zoeclark.com) and it’s become my everyday make-up since then. I’ve never been a girl who wears lots of make-up on a daily basis, as I like to let my skin breath as much as possible but then also like a little coverage to hide any imperfections so this suited me perfectly. While the MAC Face & Body would be my ‘going out’ or ‘special occasion’ foundation, this is my ‘day to day’, ‘can’t live without’ foundation.

The first thing that I love about it is the fact that you can use as little or as much as you like to achieve the coverage you want. I would say that its really a light to medium coverage product as if you go too heavy you run the risk of it looking cakey. I use it with my MAC kabuki brush (182) which allows you to really buff it in and get a flawless finish which looks like you have nothing on at all.

They don’t have a huge range of colours (there are 8, ranging from ‘Light’ to ‘Dark’) and I have 2, the ‘Light’ and the ‘Meduim’ which I use on their own or mix up depending on whether I have a bit of a tan or not. The other great thing about it, is it can also be used over your normal foundation as a powder or the darker ones can be used as a bronzer so it’s very multi-functional which is good on your purse! It last for ages too, I only replaced mine a few weeks ago after almost a year, so for 27Euro it’s great value.

I found it doesn’t irritate my skin at all either, in fact I think it’s actually helped improve my skin since using it and I get quite shiny along my ‘T’ Zone so it’s great for mattifying the skin too. The MSN would also work great for summer brides who might be getting married away in the sun and need something that won’t melt away or cake your skin.

Overall I just love this product and would highly recommend it especially as the summer approaches and you might want something lighter to wear.

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

If like me, you love playing up your eye’s and want to give your lashes an extra kick then these are a must for you. The Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler has won many awards over the years and is well known in the beauty industry as the best on the market. I wasn’t a big fan of eyelash curlers as I never really felt comfortable using them but once you start you realise just what a difference they make and that practice makes perfect!

This one is very well made, sturdy and is so easy to use which is very important for me when using on my clients. I don’t necessarily use them all the time when doing my own make-up but I do find if I’m doing false lashes and my clients own lashes are straighter than the false ones, then using the curler helps them all sit together better, therefore looking more natural. They are a bit more expensive than other curlers but to be honest, you get what you pay for and these will last you a long time! If you’d like to treat yourself to one then as far as I know they’re only available in Harvey Nicholas in Dundrum Town Centre.

M&S Autumn/Winter Show

I was very lucky to have recently assisted the very talented Zoe Clark, http://www.zoeclark.com, and her team at the Marks & Spencer Autumn/Winter fashion show at the Aviva stadium. It was a great evening and we had 2 different looks to complete. One was for the younger models, a very fresh face with yellow/orange tone eye make-up and natural lip and the older models had a more bronzed look, smokey eye with a beautiful pink lip. They both complemented the gorgeous M&S collections perfectly and the final result was a stunning show.
