Well, I have to be honest, I don't really know where to start with this one. I can start by saying that I am now officially a qualified make up artist!
I came back from Norwich last night and it almost feels strange to be home, good strange but strange! This last week has been one of the best!
I enjoyed it all, the make up, the girly chats, the absolutely gorgeous girls I met on the course and obviously being taught by Sam and Nic, who are not only extremely talented but amazingly genuine and generous women.
I have picked up a lot of new techniques, tips and tricks that were invaluable and I'm hoping I get to put them into practice soon. I need to practise the whole black eyeliner/red lip combo on other people !
I just thought I'd put up a few pictures of the looks that were created on me by some of the other girls.

| The bridal look |
 |
| Contouring practice |
 |
| Drag/creative make up |
 |
| The classic look: black liner and red lips (no other make up there and frizzy hair eek) |
 |
| The natural look |
 |
| The period look (notice the hidden eyebrows and reduced lips! |
 |
| The classic smokey eye |

Nic, me and Sam

And as a quick update on Bioderma, the stuff has saved my skin this week. We applied and removed make up about three times a day, and I'm talking quite heavy make up here. My skin went really red and blotchy on the first day when I used a make up wipe on it and scrubbed. There was a bottle of Bioderma in the studio so I went for that and it was much gentler on my skin, no redness!!
AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteI would loved to have done this course just could no way afford it :(
Excellent and Wooo at MUA status! V jealous :))

oh wow you are so lucky to have done their course! The smokey eye look is gorgeousss! and the period look did make me giggle hah x
ReplyDeleteYou lucky duck! That is so cool! That smokey eye looks hot!
ReplyDeleteSo so jealous. They are incredibly beautiful talented. Nic comes off so sweet, and Sam seems to have just the right amount of snark to her to make them a perfect complimentary team.
ReplyDeleteLisa Eldridge also recommends Bioderma. I want to try Bioderma so badly but I have no clue where to get it here in the states. Good to know their endorsement isn't for naught & the product really works! :D
So cool that you did their course! I'd love to do it someday!
ReplyDeleteSeems like you had a great time. I love Sam and Nic too xx

ReplyDeleteCongrats lovely. Looks like you had so much fun. Im about to start a makeup course aswell but trying to find a good one in Ireland is like trying to get blood out of a stone, wish i had Sam and Nic near me. If you have any more tips like the Bioderma do let us know xx
ReplyDeletePeanut butter and jealous. Love the period look, it's lovely and quirky. (:
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lots of fun. Congratulations on the course. Was the course 1 week? How can I get more details on the course:) Would love to do one myself:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments! I now feel slightly under pressure to do better FOTD posts! @Beautyshades: it was one week. The easiest thing would be to contact Sam or Nic via Twitter
