Simple no-brushes makeup

Today's post is another makeup video. Occasionally, if I am in a rush or don't have too much to do that day or my brushes are drying, I like to apply my makeup with my hands and fingers. I find that this gives me a very natural finish and makes me think carefully about colour... Continue Reading →

Travel makeup

This weekend, there is a fair amount of travelling around. I love travelling and exploring, but I am someone who 100% needs a plan in order to combat and manage anxiety.

January Smoky Winter Eye Look

I also spend a great deal of time each day on... Continue Reading →
