MAKE-UP FOR A BIRTHDAY OUTING

Fiona made me feel a million dollars…

Fiona came to my home, with her portable cases of ‘magic’! The fact that Fiona visits you in your home, I believe, is a positive as you are already relaxed, you don’t have to worry about affecting the end result with going outside until you need to go out and display the end results.

I had my make up and strip lashes done for my birthday, a girls night out. Having had previous consultations about what I do and don’t like, Fiona was able to create the perfect look for me. I very rarely wear makeup, so wanted it to look as natural as possible but with a hint of glam. The products that she uses felt light on my face and she worked well with my over rosy cheeks and redness on my chin and nose. The lashes used looked so natural. My girlfriends weren’t aware they were false until I pointed them out. Fiona chose a colour of lipstick that I can only describe as ‘I don’t think so’! But it was perfect and went so well with the coral/red jumpsuit I was wearing that night.

All in all, Fiona truly knows her ‘stuff’. I put my trust in Fiona and felt and looked amazing… Thank you Fiona.

Update after the night out

Thank you so much for my makeover, the lipstick fared really well and was commented on all night. I felt amazing last night and that was helped by you. The lashes were great, my friends didn’t realise I had false ones on.

You truly know your stuff and have an eye for what will and won’t suit.
I have attached a photo of me in my party outfit.

WHY USE MAKE-UP?

Why Use Make-Up?

Wearing make-up can make a huge difference to your look and confidence. Just like clothes, your make-up also needs to be in your complementary colours to enhance your look. I always loved wearing make-up but, before I knew what the right colours were for me, I was making myself look ill and older unwittingly! Here’s my “before” photo, so you can see what I mean!

Make-Up Can Enhance Your Look (despite your clothes)

During my colour-analysis (many years ago) I realised that make-up could make a big difference, even if the clothes aren't the best. So make-up was where I started to change my look, as it was cheaper than changing my whole wardrobe. I had an amazing reaction from a bloke I didn’t know that well, so that confirmed the importance of changing to the right colours - even just with make-up - and I’ve had many compliments since!

My credentials

When I trained as a personal stylist in 2008, I was trained in make-up application but in 2013 I had more, specific, make-up training to become a professional make-up artist, so I can apply make-up for you for a special occasion or teach you how to do your own.

I love inspiring people to use make-up that is right for them (whether that’s a little or a lot), so that you can look and feel fabulous every day, and get the compliments you deserve.

I am happy to do this individually, or in a group setting. An ideal group size would be four to six.

Make-up Classes

I can teach you how to apply make-up in your colours for your eye, face-shape and “clothing personality”. In other words applying the right amount and in the best way for you.

I can run a personal class, just for you, or I can run small group classes.  These are great for a fun and different hen-party (and great preparation for the big day), or team bonding session, or just chill time with your girl-friends. Whatever your idea, talk to me if you would like to discuss how this could work for you.

From time to time, I run 'pamper parties' or open events where you can come along to see me in action, so - if you haven't already - why not subscribe to my monthly newsletter so you'll hear about any events I am planning?  Click here to go through to the sign-up page.
