Kevyn Aucoin The Creamy Glow Collection

The Creamy Glow Duo in #4 £19

Contour and Highlighting couldn't be made simpler in this easy to use creamy duo from Kevyn Aucoin.

Apply with finger tips for an easier approach for a subtle,softer highlighting and contouring effect. Perfect for highlighting maturer skin as I find it's not as shimmery as the Celestial Highlighting powder in Candlelight. That being said it is still one of my favourite products and I use it on nearly all my clients. Now I may switch to the creamy highlighter for my maturer clients as I find it creates a softer glow to the skin.

Again keeping up with several of Kevyn Aucoins multi tasking products this can also be used on the eyes too. Also comes in three more duo shades for cheeks and lips.

TIP.....Apply a little highlighter on your Cupid's bow to achieve a subtle pout to lips!

Busy week....

Hi,
Well I haven't put a post up over Easter hols other than a Happy Easter post 20s style!  I hope you have all had a lovely time off and managed to recharge the batteries. I got a miserable chesty cold. Yuk!
I have a busy week ahead so chesty cold will have to get Zapped!  Wedding season is definitely here as I have had a few already and this week being no exception. I have a lovely bride to do first thing this Friday morning then Sat I have a bridal makeup trial. Sat evening I will be off to a charity event that a work colleague is organizing where I shall be ready at hand to do Lashes and Lips. Therefore I need to have an eyelash glue that I can trust. Goes sticky quickly, and adheres to roots of natural lashes super quick!

 I have to say I love Duo eyelash glue. You can get it in Clear or Dark. It hasn't let me down, quick and easy to use. Lashes stand the test of time. I especially need a product I can rely on as a couple of months ago I was doing a photo shoot working with two models and I was using Shu Uemura lashes and there glue. Never again will I buy there eyelash glue! Lashes kept coming away and I had to re-apply constantly making it more time consuming. Shu Uemura lashes are great and really good quality and originality in design,that's what your paying for. They range from about £13 to £50 and you can use them up to a dozen times if you look after them with TLC. So you would expect there glue to be of the same to withstand high end quality lashes especially at £12.50 a tube! Sadly no is the answer. I will still continue to use there lashes but not there glue. Never again!!

These are a few of the Shu Uemura lashes I've used recently. They all come in a protective re-usable case. Slant in black £16. Great on an Oriental/Asian eye.

          Smokey £18

          Mini Diamonte £15.50. Covers half your lashes.

TIP.... When you first apply Shu Uemura lashes they can feel quite firm,this also depends on the type/style you buy as they can vary in firmness. To get them more supple and ready for application wrap them around a pen or makeup brush after you have cut them to size and before you apply glue!!

Happy Easter Makeup Lovers.....

Hope your all enjoying a Chocolate indulgent Day fellow makeup lovers....
