Makeup Masterclass

Yesterday I was very luck to attend a master class with the amazing Mrs Makeup - Michelle Regazzoli Stone. Michelle is one of Ireland's top makeup artists and works with high-profile clients from the UK and Ireland including Pippa O'Connor, Sarah Harding (Girls Aloud), Vicky Patterson, Nadia Forde, Claudia Keane, Leah Arnold and Suzanne Jackson.








In this class she went through her most asked for look - the makeup for Rosanna Davidson's wedding and she went through this look from start to finish . She explained everything in such a relaxed and fun way and is a true professional. I've picked up so many tips and also a shopping list a mile long. Some of her favoutites, include MAC Strobe cream, Ben Nye Banana Powder, Inglot Gel liner and many more. I am going to be on the look out for future classes with Michelle. This girl is such a pro.




The event itself was held by the lovely Deirdre in Body Treats Beauty Salon in Ennistymon. She often runs these master classes and it is definitely worth the spin up, a brilliant girls day out. The girls are so welcoming and the salon itself offers so many treatments and also are stockists of Crown, Buff and HD Brows. Any brides to be out there, if you're looking for mink lashes, a natural look, this is your place. I notice whenever I'm working on brides the standard of their lashes is top class.


Here's a picture of me and the girl herself, she is a stunner.xx

Makeup Masterclass with Buff Makeup

Hi Girls,
I'm just back from a makeup masterclass with the amazing celebrity makeup artist Tara O'Farrell and Buff Makeup in the gorgeous G Hotel. There is so much hype and talk about the Buff products lately, so I jumped at the chance to see them being used. I hate ordering something without testing it out especially when they are so expensive. The products themselves are pricey enough but after seeing the finished results I wanted it all.
The stand out products for me was the famous HD foundation, the movie star cream and the eye shadows. Tara is a working model and makeup artist and shared all her tips and tricks. I love seeing other makeup artists at work and love seeing all the different techniques.She covered everything from contouring to eyeliner and took the look from a natural look right up to a glamorous evening look and really explained how to use each product. She is just so lovely and friendly and the class just flows. She couldn't have been more helpful and would highly recommend anyone from a beginner to a makeup artist to go to one of her classes. I also wont be digging into any biscuits or junk after standing beside her..she is just stunning...here's a few pics from today...xx

You can buy the Buff products at www.buffmakeup.com. Also check out Tara's facebook page for tutorials and fantastic tips and tricks https://www.facebook.com/Tara.Makeup

Makeup Events....

Recently I have gone to two different makeup events.
The first was a makeup masterclass with Inglot in Limerick. This was fantastic and I would recommend it to women of all ages. They went through in detail 2 different looks and showed step by step how to achieve each look. The staff were so friendly and helpful - without being sales pushy. They never once forced products on us and went out of their way to show how to use different products as say a lipstick as a blush or vice versa. I will defo go each time they run one of these just to see how the artists create their looks. The next class is on in December so check out their facebook page for details on this. Inglot Limerick
This class costs 30 euro and not only do you get a 3 hour masterclass they also give you back the voucher to spend in store on products. Also anyone that has a makeup or beauty diploma get a discount Pro card, that entitles you to 20% off.
The 2 looks they created, were a day smokey eye and the second look was a dramatic cat eyeliner look. I took at few pictures of the second look - sorry for the quality, just took them on the I-phone :

The next event I went to was the launch of Mac's new Collection - Glamour Daze. This is the new collection out for Christmas. Now while I loveeeeeee MAC and all of their products I have never had such a night of hard selling in my life. They asked us as we walked around what we thought of all the products. If you said you liked the colour of a lipstick or an eyeshadow - and you can imagine the amount of times I said --ohhh that's fab..they handed you the whole pile of products at the till. Then when we politely said no thanks and picked the few bits we wanted the look on the girls faces was comical. They went from smiling helpful assistants to girls pussing within seconds. The collection itself is fab. They never really showed how they applied the finished look but all of the girls had a look on. If you have plenty of mullah these kind of events are good. I bought an eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick and lip gloss. I'll do a review and look using these the next time I get out.

For those of you that don't know Inglot, they are a Polish makeup brand and they have a store in the Crescent in Limerick. Their products are amazing quality at fantastic prices. The only thing I'm not sold on with them are their foundations. I've tried most of them but still find MAC or Estee Lauder way better.

Also for anyone that likes mineral makeup or is interested in using mineral makeup checkout Blossom Ennis
Next Wednesday the 7th they have Lydia from Jane Iredale - THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP in the salon. Lydia is a very well established Make Up Artist and has worked in Bridal Make Up, Films and for RTE. They have some slots available for anyone who would like to have a FREE make over or one to one lesson with her. Their contact number is 065 6822255
