Glow Lynne glow!

Sometimes life seems to drain energy out of us and forgets to provide the refill.  This week Lynne has worked incredibly hard to provide the fantastic Grease movie experience for over 150 guests at the Dominion on Monday night while coping with the loss of one of the young people that she aims to help through It's Good to Give.  There's a reason that make up is called war paint, because occasionally we have to fight to keep going and make up provides the illusion that we're fine, so that we start to believe it ourselves.  Today we considered which make up products and application techniques will make Lynne glow.

One of Lynne's great features is her clear skin, a light foundation was all that was required.  As many of us have learned, concealer becomes an essential part of our make up kit at quite a young age.  Bobbi Brown's concealer is a personal favourite as it's a thick product that stays where its told for the day.  Highlighter was also a big part of Lynne's make up transformation as it helped to accentuate the softness of Lynne's complexion.  And that, after all, is what good make up will do - accentuate our good bits.  Using a combination of cool, neutral eye shadows we were able to bring attention to the clear aqua colour of Lynne's eyes, rather than the colours of the eye shadows themselves.  The make up look that we created was for day time, an evening look could be slightly more dramatic.  But remember that as the "evenings are drawing out" our make up is more likely to be seen in natural light and make up that looked great in the dim lighting of winter can look too heavy on a summer eveing.  As we had concentrated on Lynne's eye make up we kept the lip colour lighter with a coral gloss.
The result is what I hope to achieve with every client - we notice Lynne before we even stop to think about the make up that she has on, and Lynne is looking FABULOUS.

Make up consultations are included within a full Renideo consultation or can be booked as a stand alone consultation. I also provide make up shopping trips.  Please contact me for further information karen@renideo.co.uk or telephone 0797 334 6715
