Peaches & Cream - Belfast Masterclass

So at the start of this month I headed to Belfast to attended the Peaches & Cream masterclass & to catch up with a college friend (Eileen Cullen Make up Artist - check her out she's an amazing make up artist). It was such a nice day out , they really thought of everything and it was a lovely event . 

The masterclass was held in the Merchant Hotel Belfast , which I have never been in before but it was very fancy . 

There was a champagne reception when we went in and then they had there products on sale in a room to the side . All decorated in pink and cream what Peaches and cream are known for . 

The ticket was £50 and that included a glass of champagne , £10 redeemable voucher on there products & a gift set (including 2 pairs of fake eyelashes , 2 small brushes & 2 pigments . We also got a certificate and step by step guide on a leaflet with pictures . 

They demonstrated three different looks at the same time which was nice because a lot of the same steps are done in make up (eyelid primer , eyebrows)  so it made everything faster . It was a small room so you could see & hear everything the make up artists where doing . They were great at explaining what they where doing and created a bubbly fun environment . 

The three looks that they demonstrated where natural rose gold eye(which was my favourite) , Black/Dark brown smokey eye and a dramatic smokey eye . 

I finally got to try out there products (which i love !! ) there pigments are so pretty . I got the pigments in Luna , Wish , Stella, Luxe & Willow . The fake eyelashes I got where 'no.12' (very wispy)  & 'graduated lashes' (long with more volume on the outer corners) . Both brushes are very soft and really handy to have in your handbag for touch ups. 

Here is a link to there website where they have blogposts & online shop : http://www.fabulousmakeup.co.uk

The masterclass seemed to be a great success so I wouldn't be surprised if they where back in Ireland soon ( maybe Dublin ? ) . Anyway if there do come back I would love to go again & would definitely recommend any professional or beginner to go .

Goodbye 2015

So here goes the first post of 2016 . Thought I couldn't start off this year without writing a post on 2016 .  I started blogging in 2014 but wasn't committed enough, in 2015 I blogged every month which I am quite proud of but hope to up my game in 2016 . I want to change up my content a bit by adding more video content and fashion posts . I also want to be more consent with my blog , just bought a diary which will hopefully help with that .

*Insert cheesy quote*

I hope you all had a great Christmas spent with family friends and loads of food . I will be back with another blog post this week , just gathering ideas to change it up a little .

I am glad in a way to get back to normal , these Christmas nights out are starting to take there toll haha .

Onwards and upwards . I hope that 2016 brings you all that you desire.
Happy New Year everyone ! Very thankful for everything that has happened in 2015 .

Cut Crease Video Tutorial

Who doesn't love a good cut crease ? I recorded this video a while back but never got round to editing it but after finding a picture of the cut crease the last day I decided to go ahead , edit the video and upload it . No joke uploading it took a full day , the internet in the countryside in Ireland is really slow.

This cut crease is very wearable for a night out , I used browns and cream because I wanted it more Hollywood glamour and not borderline drag (as much as I love how skilful drag queens are at make up) .

With a cut crease you want it blended but not completely blended out , you want to see the 'cut' . I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in Dark Brown (originally meant for your eyebrows ) first then started blending it out with a brown eyeshadow  ,I then started building up the colour my repeating this step a few times. To make the cut more defined I apply concealer below the cut crease then packed on some cream eyeshadow to set it .

Check back next week for and exciting video . Going to start getting into videos more because there easier to recreate then reading a step by step , so please subscribe to my Youtube channel to keep up to date .  Hope you all have enjoyed reading .Have a nice week everyone .


Have you ever tried a cut crease ?
